So I’ll start this post by begging for your forgiveness: I’m sorry for my absence. I’ll use just returning from a work trip to Korea (South, that is, Kim Jong Il and his rocket firing didn’t even phase faze? us) as an excuse. Or maybe you were happy to have a break from me.

Here is a thing which makes perfect sense… It's funny, me and my friends were just talking the other day about how somebody needed to make a video just like that. I hope somebody didn't overhear us talking and steal our idea. On second thought, I suppose this was just bound to happen. It's kind of a ...
