Okay, I hope this doesn’t seem weird or gross that I’m sharing this, but I’m Too Fragile For This— the webseries I do with Cathryn Mudon, directed by Tom Levin— has somehow gotten to ONE MILLION VIEWS on blip.tv in the past week or so.
Almost all of this is down to a single episode, “DTF”, which has somehow gotten close to a million views (while the others are slowly inching up in to 5-digits.)
A little over a week ago, Tom e-mailed Cathryn and me and said
“is there a big glitch on our showpage, or is that shit real? it says DTF has 237,000 views”
We were assured it was not a glitch, and from that point, we kept getting about 100,000 views a day.
I don’t understand numbers or people or how the world works, so I have no idea how to process something like this. My usual approach to thinking about “views” is that when a video of mine gets a hundred or two hundred views, I imagine all those people coming to see a show at the UCB Theatre in Chelsea, and I am satisfied. That’s a packed house! (I ignore the part where a huge percentage of those people would watch 5 seconds of the show and then leave to go see some other show where a cat does something amusing.)
I think I had always assumed that if I was ever part of anything that got one million views, there would be some other effect, like people would be talking about it or something. The only thing I could find from the past week is that someone on a message board said they watched it and thought it was “kind of funny in its own way.”
Anyway, thanks to anyone and everyone who has ever watched it or liked it or thought it was “kind of funny”! Maybe it’s horrible that I’m posting this? I’m just weirded out by it and thought it was fun.

This afternoon, my partner Turtle walked out of our apartment to grab a bite. Before he even left our block, a man called him “faggot” as he passed. Rather than let the guy get away with it, Turtle decided to confront this man about his hateful behavior. And he filmed it.
Notice how well Turtle handles himself in this video. No need to fight hate with hate; calling him “slick hair” is as hateful as Turtle gets (which is hilarious and awesome). He lets that ignorant clown have it with poise and decency. Not surprising, considering Turtle is the absolute best guy around and I couldn’t be prouder of him.
Our neighbors saw this altercation, and told Turtle that this man has been harassing their thirteen year-old son for years, sometimes even calling him “faggot” while the kid was in recess at school with his peers. They know who he is and where he lives. They’ve been too scared for the kid’s safety to do anything about it. But it’s going to end today.
Turtle called the cops and is going to file a complaint tomorrow morning. I don’t know what’s going to happen yet, but hopefully this jerk will learn that we’re not going to put up with this crap in our neighborhood anymore.
On the bright side, this charmer is already in talks with DC Comics to illustrate Orson Scott Card’s Superman story. It’ll be the first comic book drawn completely in douchey hair gel.

I burned the video to a DVD and gave it to my freshman year roommate.
She still decided to room with me.
My favorite part was that the cat had smoke around it.

Just a heads up here:
Was searching for the “just the ten of us theme song”. Jason Flower’s tumblr was one of the first 5 links to pop up in Google. At that point, all my witty, late night joshin’ and silly-guy humor went out the window. This is about Jason now. Jason.. we’re doing it the best we can.. leavin’ out the bottom again.. oh, I’m seein’ it from where I stand.. nothin’ comes easy… Here’s to Coach Lubbock, may your daughter fight off Krueger for years to come.
One of my favorite theme songs from a ridiculously terrible show, Doin’ It the Best I Can was performed by Bill Medley, who, as you should already know, was one half of The Righteous Brothers. But perhaps more notably, Bill, along with Jennifer Warnes, was the voice behind the 80s smash-hit (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life from the film Dirty Dancing, as well as your mom’s radio.
It’s probably important to add that Just The Ten of Us starred Heather Langenkamp, who while not the hottest of the show’s sisters, was the only one to appear in A Nightmare on Elm Street. So suck it, Brooke Theiss.

Connor Ratliff: A Too Long Post about a few of my funny friends
This is maybe a weirdly personal post, I almost considered deleting it but it was a significant day for a few friends of mine that I am personally invested in, in a way that made me want to write a few words about it. Maybe this is a dumb post. You don’t have to read it!
MUDON: 5 Harold…
The things I do and like are all here. Hopefully you like them too, if not, maybe you'll be into it after you leave.
