my awesome crap – sean cliver

warning
These webclips feature stunts performed either by professionals or under the supervision of professionals. MTV and the producers must insist that no one attempt any activity performed on the site.

Before viewing, if you so dare (or care), I’d like to make a few things clear. First of all, and perhaps most importantly, Rick Kosick would not let me have a drink before we filmed this. True, I probably should have tossed one back prior to his showing up on my doorstep, but I honestly didn’t think he’d cockblock me from the idea of loosening up a bit (and not only did he cockblock me but he called me a pussy, too!). So admittedly that was my fault. Second, my wife and I had recently viewed a marathon of “Kenneth the Web Page” segments on the Interweb, and I think I subconsciously drew upon the 30 Rock character’s cadence and demeanor while showing “you” around my house (or at least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it). Lastly, I don’t speak much. I know, surprise, surprise, but I’d even go so far as to say that I was meant to be born mute had the basic genetic code for a larynx not caught a chromosomal toe-hold in the eleventh formative hour and left me with … well, this. I’d draw a vocal parallel to Geri, the palsied comedienne who frequently guest-starred on the NBC sitcom Facts of Life alongside Jo, Tootie, Blair and that other girl, but I’m guessing this might not strike a generational chord with most.

Anyway, this is some of the crap that brightens my material day, not to mention a perfect example of why this mumbling chimp stays behind the keyboard and not on camera. I’d also like to say that I never would’ve done this if I wasn’t feeling compelled to promote the release of my new book, The Disposable Skateboard Bible (available July 2009!).
