For anybody who has never made an Earth Sandwich, been a member of the League of Awesomeness, or had a fixation with small duckies, you have until March 17th to check out The Show with Ze Frank.

You might have seen some of his other work without even knowing it (much can be found on his main site), but for the past 11~ months, Frank has been writing, editing, and staring in his own three to five minute videos which he creates and uploads every weekday. Each episode is tight, fast paced, up close, and personal as he covers anything that tickles his fancy at the moment - news, politics, culture, sports, whatever. But he does so in a Jon Stewart/The Daily Show-esque manner with a dash of raunchiness, a heaping of absurdity and cooked at the speed of a TV lawyer announcing all rules and regulations to a contest.

Every week he seems to come up with a new idea or theme and from there, he lets his audience run with it and shape it into it’s future form. This isn’t some giant community we’re talking about here, but instead a relatively close (and fairly large) group of fans with similar viewpoints and even more similar absurd thinking. Besides the aforementioned recurring themes in the first paragraph, one great example is where a college student from his forums had nothing to do over Christmas holidays, so long story short he became a human baton, driven cross country from New England to California by follow Sports Racers (translation: fans of Frank’s show) before returning all the way home the via the exact same method.

It might sound stupid, but trust me, after you watch a few episodes, you realize Frank is not only capable, but is fully pulling it off.

As I drive to work in the morning, I usually either listen to NPR or my iPod. Friday morning I happened to switch over to FOX Sports and was promptly greeted with the news that Brett Favre, NFL God and the source of my biggest Man Crush, announced that he was coming back for the 2007 season. My class for the day was thus granted with an hour long lecture that morning as to why Favre was the greatest QB in the history of the universe. I think they were just happy to get out of doing any spelling.

I guarantee any ad agency out there that I could come up with a better commercial than any we’ve seen during the first half of the Super Bowl so far. Just contact me with via e-mail with “$$$$$$$$$$” in the subject line.

So CBS is airing the Super Bowl this year and decide to pull a page out of FOX’s “How To Fuck Up A Broadcast” playbook by using cameras that fog up every 12 seconds. I just stuffed an old rag in an envelope and addressed it to Miami.

Did I mention Favre is COMING BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON?!

The older I’ve gotten, the less and less I’ve enjoyed the Super Bowl. There’s a problem when the game is being played mere days before catchers and pitchers report to Spring Training. If the NFL wanted to cut down on all the damn hype and move the game back a week, I’d be glad to start spreading the word.

FAVRE IS COMING BACK FOR ANOTHER FUCKING SEASON! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

If at age 23 (Damn, I won’t be able to type that much longer) I’m having trouble doing anything, how hard is it going to be when I’m older? I’m tired of half-assing it through life and yet when I sit down to try and take the first steps of anything, I get overwhelmed and put it off for tomorrow.

And that’s been my MO for about the last 10 years now. I’ve already wasted too many tomorrows, damnit. What the hell’s wrong with me?

At least the Hey, It’s A Contest! was a decent success.
