Can You Pronounce Blagojevich? – YouTube
By Greg Loesch | July 3, 2009
I, along with a group of friends, got bored the other night, and we stumbled upon this YouTube video. Who knew this guy’s name was so hard to pronounce. I’ll keep it short and sweet. Here’s the video.

Free Books! – Book Review Bloggers
By Greg Loesch | June 27, 2009
I just found out from a friend, Sam Schoutko (@Wasilly & check out his blog), about this book review program at brb.thomasnelson.com. The concept is relatively simple, and I’d assume quite effective in a marketing sense.
This is how it works:
You fill out an application that is composed pretty much of name, address, blog url, and book interests. From there, you wait to get approved (took about a day for them to respond). Once approved, you select a book, and they mail it to you for free! The only thing you have to do is write a review on your blog and a retail site of your choosing. If you hate the book, let the people know. If you love it, let ‘em know. Once the two reviews are finished, you send them the links and pick another free book.
I’ll be honest, one of my motives is to get “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” by Donald Miller (@DonMillerIs) for free – despite him blocking me on Twitter… (what the heck is that about by the way, Don?!) – but I also hope it motivates me in that whole book reading area.
Like to blog and read? Go fill out that app! Tough to beat free (I’m pullin’ for your application to go through, Sammy).

Best Family Guy Clip
By Greg Loesch | June 17, 2009
Note: This is a “redo” of a previous post I had. I posted this video on YouTube, got close to a thousand views in a few days, then received a copyright notification from Fox. I don’t think they’ll complain if I post it here. If so, down she’ll go, like Stewie and Brian in the raft.
So for the last year or so, I didn’t watch Family Guy at any level of regularity, mainly because of the lack of DVR. I watched pretty much every season about 2 years ago, and I was borderline obsessed with it. However, with time, I’d grown tired of the mediocre plots, similar humor, and the… obscure randomness. I’d moved on to much more distinguished shows like Arrested Development and the Office 
Now that I’m in a house at school with guys willing to pay for DVR, I’ve started watching a bit more than I had been. I sat down to watch the “Road to Germany” episode with some of the guys the other night, and while most of it was nothing exceptional, Stewie had a quote that made me laugh for about several minutes straight. I hadn’t laughed that hard at a TV show/movie for I don’t know how long.
Check out the link to the video I uploaded below. The quote is right around the 15 second mark. I seriously think it’s the funniest part I’ve ever seen in Family Guy.
Family Guy – We’re Not Sinking!

I’m Not Gonna… (LOL picture)
By Greg Loesch | June 4, 2009
I came across this on StumbleUpon, and I think I laughed out loud by myself when I saw it. That’s usually a good indication that it’s pretty funny. Okay… I may have just smiled. This has made its way around Digg, so it’s a good possibility that some of you have already seen it. Without delaying further… here she is…
*Snicker* Oh you Pokemon jokes. Ya get me every time.
If you don’t get it, it’s okay… it just means you were either kept in a box when you were younger or you’re…well… “in one’s dotage.” Okay, maybe you were “above” Pokemon. And by “above” I mean that you probably like bands people have never heard of… but don’t worry… we’ll like them soon, and you’ll have to force yourself to abhor them and go find another obscure band.
Cheers

Jars of Clay – Prisoner of Hope lyrics
By Greg Loesch | June 2, 2009
So I was listening to Prisoner of Hope (Closer EP) by Jars of Clay, (follow them on twitter -> @jarsofclay) a longtime favorite band of mine, and I realized that GimmeSomeTune – Mac app that automatically fetches and embeds lyrics in iTunes – couldn’t find the lyrics for the song. This happens occasionally, so I quickly Googled (and even “Bing“ed – will that ever catch?) for “Jars of Clay Prisoner of Hope lyrics.” Nothing.
I found myself in a similar situation not too long ago with the song Closer from the same album, and my solution was to do the work myself. Sure enough, that’s what I did for Prisoner of Hope. In case any of you Jars fans are interested, here are the lyrics.
