I Am the Last VCR » Todd McArthur http://thelastvcr.com The Theme Team Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:35:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Myth http://thelastvcr.com/2009/current-theme/myth/ http://thelastvcr.com/2009/current-theme/myth/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:54:02 +0000 Todd McArthur http://thelastvcr.com/?p=789 That’s all you’ve got to go on, “myth.”  It’s vague enough to be almost anything.  The myth that drinking Coca Cola and eating Pop Rocks will explode you?  The mythologizing of the Obamas?  Demythologizing the American jackalope?  The myth of global warming (if you’re into thinking like that)?  The myth that Bert and Ernie are gay?

And then there’s the regular stuff:  Greek, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Oceanic, Chinese, Aboriginal, Vedic, etc.  Duh.

The hope is that since you went through all the trouble of buying the DVD, you’re passionate enough about it to want to make some art.  And please, nothing from your Laserdisc and/or HD-DVD collections.  That’s just ridiculous.

Groundhog’s Day (like in the movie) = five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year.

I tried to make this quickly. Gotta loosen up the old bones!
