Star Wars Snow Legos | 2009-12-19 | by Chris Erickson

The other day I was lurking on Facebook and saw a link shared between two of my friends, photographers both.

Here's one of the photos:

The first cool part was seeing LEGO Star Wars figures photographed like this. These scenes are absolutely kickass. The second cool part was reading about how the photographer set this up. I'm going to have to try and replicate this stunt in the future.

So I've been spending a lot of time under government care lately. No, no I haven't been in prison. I've been deployed, silly.

But seriously. My current role and responsibilities as a Public Affairs Specialist have my hands full and my schedule busy. One of those duties is that of Social Media Strategist. I gave myself that title. Awesome.

In this role I'll be pumping information out to the world via Web sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flikr and Youtube. The information will revolve around Kosovo Forces 12 deployment and the work done over the next year.

So pardon me as I plug my product for a moment. It won't happen here a lot, but it will happen some. I prefer to keep the Uncouth and paid, public-sector work separate to alleviate any possible concern about conflicts of interest. As of now, I've been drinking MGD and some local Cabernet, so all bets are off.

Once the MGD runs out, I won't plug KFOR 12 much here over the coming months, except to provide a satirical relief for myself from the daily ins-and-outs of what is sure to be a fairly uneventful deployment.

more songs | 2009-09-01 | by Chris Erickson

Greetings faithful audience.

I come to you now in a time of need. As many of you know, I am defending the free people of the world by drinking as much coffee as possible in between cigarette breaks and planning future ventures/adventures.

During this time I have exhausted my extensive collection of music and am in need of recommendations for new tunes. Please feel free to tell me about awesome musical acts, because I am too busy to do that kind of research on my own at this juncture.

The person who suggests the most music that I end up downloading will earn my political favor and quite possibly a 701 Entertainment calendar (due out next Thanksgiving. I know it's a long way away, but I've got a deployment to finish first, whiners). Since this is an ongoing request the number of downloaded songs per recommender will be tallied right before I come home.

Leave your recommendations in the comment section of this update.

Difficulty: No rap, classical, pop, metal or electronica. If a rock group is recommended the singer better not have a whiny bitch voice. If country is recommended I would prefer that it be Outlaw Country. If you recommend R & B then I hope it is more soulful than it is remixed. Recommenders would do well to recommend songs that I could play with the Berry Patch Family Band or the Beerbelly Campfire Drunks (although it is not necessary). Those are the rules. Liars will be slain, cheaters will be promoted. Ready...GO!

News of the summer: I have succesfully partied the entire summer away, actually getting paid to party three (3) times. I have charmed an infinite number of women, put an untold number of men in their place, and had my nose successfully bloodied once.

In unrelated news, The 701 Entertainment has just posted it's first parody, called Apocalypse Ice. Praise should be rocked on Inkster, Pezo, and Jeffy for putting the video together and then posting it. Keep an eye on The 701, and if you see someone with a hat sporting that logo, ask them how it feels to rock so much. I might be one of them, and I'll tell you.

Look for more print, video and online work in the future from us cads at Uncouth Media in conjunction with the rascals at 701 Entertainment and the scoundrel at Jeffhare.com.

I'm back, Faithful Audience. Back to bring you whatever humor I can, without promising too much.

My sabbatical was worthwhile; I managed to work out most of the demons and shed some light on new developments in life. And I got to take a series of photos that ended in a panorama. I won't spoil it for you, but it's a grizzly bear chasing a herd of elk across a meadow while the background mountains and some foreground bison look on.

True.

Regardless, some ads are being placed, a gaggle of new content is on the way, and you get to see if I was telling the truth about that image. I don't do thumbnails, so you may have to squint (the full size image is about 10 feet long, and I can't really fit that here.)
