I’ve done a lot of stupid things, so really this shouldn’t be too surprising.
In December, after participating in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER and growing a mighty beard (which really isn’t too abnormal, I’m usually too lazy to shave), I made the not-so-well-thought-out agreement to participate in Mustache March. I also convinced a handful of my coworkers to do the same. After planning for months, and growing out a beard in February to ensure a spectacular mustache in March, my efforts have come to fruition.
Prior to shaving, full beard in effect
Originally my thinking was that, if I'm going to do this, do it right: Hogan 'Stache.
That proved to be a terrible idea, so I went with the 80's porno 'stache.
And, so now, I am forced to walk around looking like a rapist. I have a job interview coming up this month, and anyone who willingly hires someone with a mustache is probably not someone I want as a boss anyway. I also have family gatherings to attend to this month, where I will have to explain my more-ridiculous-than-usual appearance. And, of course, not to mention the day-to-day chores and activities that will force me to be in the public’s judging eyes.
Most of you are aware that I work for a bank. Fortunately, I’m not an idiot teller or some other equally terrible entry-level job, however the work is still fairly painful and mind-numbingly monotonous.
Some Canadian fool named Myles sent me this Kids in the Hall skit a few days ago. I’m not so sure it’s supposed to make me feel any better.
So the company I registered the domain name “hijinx.nu” (among others) is having this contest where you make a commercial for them. Being the hilarious person I am, I made three entries. The contest is closed to new entries, but is now having people vote for the winner. The vote is based on the videos’ ratings on YouTube.
So please view my videos, and rate them highly. Use the link UNDER the video, then use that website’s link to YouTube to vote. Thanks!

Prompted by a post I made last night (about how light beer makes me sad) on that dumb message board I read, I decided to ripoff a long-since retired e/n website and create two new pages on hijinx - The Happy Page and The Sad Page. I will add new items to either page as they come up.
THE HAPPY PAGE lists all the things that make me unequivocally happy to be alive. Conversely, THE SAD PAGE will list the things that make me unequivocally sad and not want to be alive.
i apologize in advance if the next few posts seem to be too sad/happy page-centric, but i need to at least build the foundation for those pages.
a couple of days ago i was at an Andrew Jackson Jihad show. it was a good excuse to try out the Flip camcorder i bought from target with the intention of using it for a few months until just before the return policy expires. at the end of the show, some unshowered kid proposed to his equally unshowered girlfriend. though i was at a terrible angle and behind the speakers, making both the video and audio pretty worthless, i caught it on film. here it is:
it made me wonder if public proposals are really that great of an idea. the chance of a “no” does lend itself to some excellent hilarity. unfortunately, the girl above obviously said yes.
i recorded the rest of the AJJ show (at the same shitty angle), and perhaps i will eventually get around to editing it and putting it on YouTube.
BUT NOT RIGHT NOW, OKAY?
if anyone is curious, the Flip is fucking awesome.
