Some comments and observations: Thor is cool but haven't we seen this before? How about something new next year? What's the dude next to Thor supposed to be? Why is Jerny Berls' mustache wrapped around his head? The Caesar costume is sweet. Whatever Fatty has going on is sweet. I think that should actually be his full time look. Oh, one more - what's Swerb supposed to be? Joan of Arc?
Yeah sorry about the repeat Thor showing. Just trying to get some more mileage out of the costume.
I was impressed by all the other costumes. I had to ask Jack who it was under the el duderino costume. Johnny's cotume was particularly provocative. It brought back memories of the picture of the red bicycle shorts.

Thanks for the compliment on the Caesar costume. I'll fail to mention the fact that it was brought over by Jack's brother in law because my first idea of a costume was pure lame.
Pace yourselves Ninjas!!! This is too much hernie-ness in one day for a sister to handle!
I suppose this wouldn't be the appropriate time to bring up the fact the Bell's fruit bowl was in fool display. I believe Robot uncovered that tidbit, if you need further explanation.
I find myself being increasingly grateful for the black spandex and especially the fact the Zillas don't believe in bright lighting throughout their house. That would have caused an uncomfortable opportunity for shadows to develop.
I did... I think... I found the group and selected Join Group. It told me it would let me know when I was approved. I figured you'd get a notification from that... I'll try again.

The term, as I understand it, was originally applied as a variation on 'mooning' someone. There's showing your ass (traditional mooning) but if you pull your pants down too far and bend over a little too much, you get 'the whole fruit-bowl presentation'. This is typically the difference between criminial mischief and 3rd degree sexual assault.
It seems Bells' computer has joined the 360 (they're now both non-functioning). I bet if his beer bottle opener was broke he'd be on the phone to customer service yesterday!
Yeah, something went wrong when your photos were added to the Jackassery pool. The flickr api stuff I'm using is a bit flaky and has other issues, such as Creeko's photos never showing up.
I removed your photos for now. I'm going to try to see if I can at least prevent the home page from blowing up when you add photos. But as far as working around the problem, "Invalid ICC Profile Data" is a not terribly useful error message.
This wasn't from the Halloween party but from the night before - the first in a series of videos. This is my favorite, as it is a brand new story (to me): Johnny's Worst Day Ever.
I don't know which had me laughing harder, Bells telling the story or Ross in hysterics listening to it!
You could make an interactive drinking game out of this! Everytime Bells drops an F bomb, everybody drinks!...
I am impressed with his abililty to put the F word to so many uses. Noun, linking verb, adjective.....
For me, it's all in the physical telling: from the counting out of the pennies, stacking the change, to the Rio flying off the road and Johnny looking like he's riding a bucking bronco, to the cutting and eating motion of the burrito, that's what tended to make me lose my shit. Well told.
Johnny does tell stories in a mesmorizing fashion. Every story he's told me stands out vividly in my mind because he tells it so well, and yet I'm still always ready to hear them again because he's that much fun to listen to.
I loved it. Nobody tells a story quite like Johnny Bells. You could put out a comedy series of Johnny Bells stories if only you had captured them all over the years.
Highly entertaining. I mean, I'm sure it was awful at the time(s), but you've got yourself a nice 30 minute bit if you ever find yourself at a toilet paper convention on amateur night. So, since I'm always trying to solve problems that don't exist, I think we should put together an Emergency Kit. It would have the following:
-Fresh, soft toilet paper (vacuum sealed) -Wet Wipes -Air Freshener -"Do Not Disturb" sign -Opaque Plastic Curtain -Rubber Gloves -One of those foil 'space blankets' (because all emergency kits have them) -Gatorade -Other?
The deluxe version of the kit would include a customized "Caution--Bells At Work" sign:
Fatty, this might be the million-dollar idea we were looking for!
I've recently come up with the idea for Jackassery: The Movie, the screenplay for which I would write. It would include dramatizations of The Worst Day Ever, The Ol' Ballbuster, Football Game Outhouse and A Case of Restless Crank Syndrome (among others). Of course, the dialogue would be littered with things like "hernie," "Jernyberls!!", "shanty town," "suave on-the-town gear" and "that's right, asshole!" If anyone wants to finance the project so I can take a month off work to write it, let me know....

We certainly could. Between this and the videos I took at Fatty's Wedding party last year ("put your butt up in the air", anyone?), we have a lot of material.
Zilla and I commented yesterday how Bells' conversational gestures have creeped into our own communication styles - just think how society in general would be if it influenced our youth through the viewing of any video featuring his stories.
