Flaming Undies

WARNING . . . What you are about to see cannot be unseen.  After viewing this rather bizarre video, members of That Poverty Guy's family have sought information about the witness protection program. Viewer discretion is advised.  :)

I said I'd do it, and so I did it.  As promised during Phase I of That Poverty Project, I became so utterly disgusted by my deteriorating undergarments that I vowed to "burn my undies" upon the conclusion of my time in the tent.  It should be added, although upon viewing it will become blatantly obvious, this video was made purely for entertainment and does not contain any higher intellectual content.  I mean, like, none whatsoever . . . seriously.

No animals were hurt in the production of this video, although the same cannot be said for two rather well used pairs of underwear and one innocent soup pot.

The Wisdom of the Littlest Pig (Day 62 - September 22, 2011)

Lights! Camera!  ACTION!!

Coming off the absolutely bestest sleep in the history of the world (or at least my best sleep while in the tent), I felt energized enough to get into the "production studio" and create the following epic video event.  The stars lined up in order to make this cinematic treasure a reality . . . the concept comes from a piece I wrote in 2003 . . . and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with the great Dr. Thad Pavarti Guy, a world renowned expert on linguistic anomalies and other strange things.  I hope you enjoy this offering, which has taken years to finally bring together as a video recording.

Oh . . . and trust me . . . you have NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE ( . . . you can decide whether that is a good thing or not).

And Now For Something Completely Different (Day 25 - August 16, 2011)

A few different things happening today (and kudos to Monty Python with respect to the title for today's blog), including MY FIRST VIDEO BLOG (below) . . .

First, today is the first day (. . . or night is actually more accurate) that I began to worry about the cold in the Fall.  I imagine that for those who are actually homeless on the streets, this is a really disconcerting time of year when the nights start to get frosty.  Granted, it may be a later date for those living in warmer climates, but here in the Rockies it is right around the corner.  I heard a story once of a homeless fellow that pulled a toy gun on the mayor in order to get arrested (he's lucky not to have been shot . . . that's a dangerous thing to do).  Whether or not it is true, I believe it is not uncommon for some on the street to commit a crime in order to get food and shelter in jail through the winter.  Last night I was fine once I cocooned . . . and I have a couple more layers I could still add so I expect I'll be fine through to Thanksgiving.  But, of course, there are many who are homeless that are not nearly as blessed.  If you have spare winter clothes and blankets, please contact your local shelter to see if they could use them.

Second, today I'm preparing to talk to the Canmore Rotary Club tomorrow morning and then I'm hitting the road to go visit The Mustard Seed Street Ministry tomorrow afternoon.  I expect to have some interviews to show you over the coming days and weeks.

Third, and most different (in more ways than one) the following is my very first attempt at creating a video blog other than the one on my home page, which was just a straight recording.  As you will see, there's room for improvement but I hope you'll enjoy it nonetheless.  Please note that it was actually filmed on July 31st, and thus less facial hair.  And, if you like it (or even if you don't), please forward it to others by clicking one of the many options below this blog.
