The Unknown Studio

Today we look to the wisdom of clichés, as guest respondent “Swami Clichet” takes a crack at answering these insipid, vacuous first-world problems with the class and style of a man who wears swimming goggles as reading glasses. He’s just that weird, friends.

You know, I really dug the quick hits from last week so I’m doing it again! And since I also believe the interest in this little FML Friday venture is wearing thin, I’ll also add that July will be our last month of FML Fridays. That’s right, we’ll be nixing them. Because kicking a dead horse, while fun, is also messy and tiresome.

But you have us for the next four weeks. The beginning of the end! Read the rest of this entry »

EDMONTON JOURNAL STILL SPONSORS THE UNKNOWN STUDIO
=====================================================

It’s true! After so much joking and tongue-in-cheek referrals to Edmonton’s newspaper of record on our show, the Edmonton Journal decided to put their money where our mouths are, by sponsoring the Unknown Studio this month!

We’re helping EJ to promote their Blackberry mobile launcher. You can check it out by clicking here on your Blackberry browser. If you have any comments about the mobile launcher or the Journal’s mobile site, let us know and we’ll pass it along!

We’ve been talking up the new format of the show a lot over the last couple of weeks. And as Scott and I put some finishing touches on the new episode, we have to admit something to you: the release of S02E01 will be delayed until later this week.

We’d like to borrow a page from the book of Nate Box, who only opened his elm café when he was satisfied that it was ready. We demand the exact same satisfaction on your behalf, fifties of listeners/readers.

When we’re ready with the new episode later on this week, there will be much fanfare. In the meantime, cozy up to a few outtakes from the Back to the Future movies:

It’s been a busy week for me, friends. From posting about the Unknown Studio’s birthday, to prepping for our next show, to the day job and life in general, I haven’t really had a moment’s rest since last weekend. So, for this week’s FML Friday, I’m introducing “quick hits.” I’ll respond to five FMLs instead of three, but the responses will be no longer than one or two sentences.
