Hello everyone.
I am a quite happy atheist, and want the world to know about it. That, and a bunch of other thoughts I have. To that end, I've made a little animated show on YouTube: Puppet Opinions.
There are three episodes so far. Here's a link to the first:
link removed, violation of rules
I'm thinking of going the extra mile, putting in the extra effort, and getting an episode funded on Kickstarter.com soon. So it would be great to get more people to watch, crank up the numbers, and make it a viable project!
Peace.

Hi Colin

I see you didn't bother to read the rules, or worse ignored them. When you've got your 10 apprentice posts under your belt we'd be happy to see what you've done  ;D

Welcome to HAF.

Regards
Chris

I would like to hear about your time at USC studying humour! That sounds ike a good course.

I'm confused. ???
The rules say I can only post in the "getting to know you" section. I did.
It says nothing about the content I can post there.
Haven't people already pointed people to their blogs where they introduce themselves?

As for studying humor at USC, we dissected a lot of clowns.

Nope, not usually. We generally frown on posting links on your first couple of posts because a lot of people tend to "post and run".

Atually,
Quote from: RulesNO SPAM: If this is your first visit to the forum and you post a link, copy paste text, etc it will be considered spam and may be removed or partially removed by a moderator at their own discretion without notice. Spam is everything from unwanted advertisements to posting the same thread or comment on many different forums. If you would like to bring attention to a project of yours (youtube channel, ask for people to take a survey, want feedback on your blog, etc.) just send one of the moderators a heads up private message first so we don't think you're just here to self-promote but are interested in being a contributing member.

The "first visit" bit is quite poorly worded as it refers to the first post you make and not the first time you read the forum, but it does say what it says quite clearly from there on.

True that.
I kinda skipped the spam section seeing as I don't have any Viagra to sell.
Anywho, I still don't believe in God and I have an optimistic outlook on life, so I won't be running anywhere.

Terry Pratchett would appreciate that. The Fools Guild

QuoteAs Terry Pratchett notes in The Art of Discworld, humour, as a profession, is hard, and nowhere is it harder than in the Fools' Guild. Its founder, Jean-Paul Pune (on the Disc, the inventor of the play on words that bears his name) understood that the heart of all comedy is pain, specifically others' pain. In recognition of this, Pune demanded a regimen of cold baths, wooden beds, bad food and self-flagellation to strengthen his pupils for the harshness of Foolery. Recent health and safety guidelines have ensured that more students survive to graduation, but school life remains as grim as the Guild's facade. Creativity and wit were the death of funniness, as far as Pune was concerned; progress through the Guild ranks was (and is) achieved through hours of rote memorization of the seventy-three approved subclasses of pun, the listed pratfalls and the accepted jokes, which must go through a twenty-year approval process before they are passed by the Council of Fun.

How about addressing the issue in my post in stead? "First visit" just doesn't work there.  ???
