Ewoks, a United Methodist choir and Billy Dee Williams himself. Could this possibly be the greatest Star Wars-themed video ever hosted on YouTube?!
Thanks to Geoff Gentry for passing this along! 🙂...

Jock Ewing for President
I’ve no idea how I found this, but it’s too danged funny not to share.
The really scary thing is, this guy does sound like Jock Ewing!
He’s got my vote. After 7 years with the illegitimate son of Digger Barnes in the White House, America needs a Ewing!...
Tonight we watched LICENSE TO WED
Although technically it was last night, since I’m writing this past 1 in the morning (am working on a few video projects before hitting the sack), but you know…
Anyways, Lisa had License to Wed sent to us via Netflix, and we spent part of the evening watching it. In spite of the harsh reviews this movie has received, I found it to be hysterically funny… and hitting the mark so far as marriage goes more often than not!
License to Wed has Mandy Moore and John Krasinski as Sadie and Ben: a newly-engaged couple that wants to get married at Sadie’s family church. There’s just one little obstacle that must be overcome first: Reverent Frank (Robin Williams) refuses to wed anyone until they’ve taken his “pre-marital counseling” course. Usually this takes three months. But with the church’s schedule already booked solid, the only date available anytime soon for a ...
DOCTOR WHO meets THE DUKES OF HAZZARD
With the new season of Doctor Who now airing on the BBC (and very soon here in America on the Sci-Fi Channel, thanks for the tip Geoff!) a lot of fans are celebrating the return of the Doctor. Here’s what one clever chap did: mashing up footage of both Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant as the Doctor from the revived series, with Waylon Jennings’ classic theme song from The Dukes of Hazzard…

Teacher-produced “Star Wars” movies helping students prepare for testing
WGAL in Lancaster, Pennsylvania has a great story about teachers there who have made a series of Star Wars-inspired short films designed to help local students prepare for their state standardized tests. The PSSA Wars videos, offering tips on how to handle the critical exams, feature such characters as “Duke Skywriter” and “Math Solo” and even include the classic Star Wars saga-style scrolling intro. And not since Hardware Wars have there been such glorious special effects in a Star Wars spoof! Seriously though, I watched the episode that WGAL is hosting on its site at the link above, and I thought these teachers did a terrific job! Thanks to TheForce.net for this awesome find 🙂...
‘Fess-up time for today’s April Fools prank
Just to be clear on some things…
1. There is no such thing as the U.S. Department of Public Health.
2. Reidsville does not have a deputy mayor.
3. Irving “Bud” Wombler is a fictitious character that I made up this morning.
4. Rockingham Regional Medical Center only exists in my mind, and will likely never be built in the Midway area.
5. Fritz Hippler was a real-life filmmaker who ran the Film Department of the Propaganda Ministry under Joseph Goebbels during the reign of Nazi Germany. I “borrowed” his name since this story needed someone likewise doing propaganda. And I’ll admit that I liked the sound of the name. But other than that there was no other reason why I chose to use it, in case anyone’s wondering.
6. The murals are not in any danger.
7. This whole thing was not meant to be a reflection at all ...
More classic SESAME STREET: “Four People Fooled!”
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some vintage Sesame Street clips. Here’s a short one, but it’s ranks up there as one of the all-time greats: Ernie and a little blue “Anything Muppet” in “Four People Fooled!”
The “Spy Hunter” Pontiac commercial
Here’s that new commercial for the Pontiac G8 GT, inspired by the classic video game Spy Hunter …
Chad races 2 miles, eats 12 donuts and runs back. Did he hurl?!?
For the past few months my lifelong bud Chad Austin has been talking about running the Krispy Kreme Challenge. It’s an now-annual charity race that takes place around the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
Here’s the deal: start at the bell tower on N.C. State’s campus, run 2 miles to the nearest Krispy Kreme donut shop, devour a dozen original glazed donuts, and then race back to the bell tower. All within the span of one hour.
As you can no doubt imagine, people blow chunks all over the place on the return leg of this oxymoronic endurance test.
So, how did Chad do? Could he go the distance without adding his own decoration to the landscape? Here is his full report on this year’s Krispy Kreme Challenge. And you can also read about what happened from Chad’s friend Ashley, who not only ran ...
