[That random thought was a little funnier after reading the previous one… I posted it without realizing that it would begin a new page.]

[Jeff Ross]

*yawns*
That was a pretty good rest. Had some strange dreams… but that’s over now. Hopefully I didn’t sleep in tube late and miss out on anything.

[Jeff Ross]

Below is a parody song concept that I came up with simply because the original song had the line “so many faces”. I don’t expect this one to actually be performed… but if it is, that would be cool. ? Not everything in the lyrics is a reference or a pun, but I did include some bonus Jordan Taylor references in it, just for fun.

Here is my parody of NF’s “The Search” called “The Podcast” (for lack of a better title):

Ryan: Hey F.A.C.E, how’s life?
F.A.C.E.: I don’t know; it’s alright.
I’ve been dealin’ with some things like every human being
And really didn’t sleep much last night.
Ryan: I’m sorry…
F.A.C.E.: That’s fine.
I just think I need a little “me time”.
I must blink, eyes need a little clean time,
Remembering all the shows and the butterflies.
Yeah, last year we had a breakdown;
Thoughts tellin’ us to hush getting’ too loud;
Tried to make a musical, then we bowed out.
Somethin’ funny’s going on up in our house…
Ye, started thinkin’ maybe I should move out,
You know pack my van, take a new route.
Clean up my land, get the moose out.
Unseal the can, let the air out…
I’ve been searchin’.
Ryan: What does that mean, F.A.C.E.?
F.A.C.E.: I’ve been learnin’.
Grabbin’ my keepsakes,
Leavin’ my burdens.
Well I brought a cow with me; There’s no heard in.
Lookin’ at the view like, ‘Where’s the landmark?’
Pickin’ up the cues right? I’m a pool shark.
Hate it when I lose sight; life gets so dark.
And trips might need cars…
Ryan: We’re prob’ly gonna take a Long Drive there, but hey!
It’s worth it though!
We need a draft; fans, grab your phones.
Been a minute, I know; now come back to roam.
Looking for the antidote
To crack the code.
Pretty vivid, I admit it, I’m in classic mode.
I’d like money given to me, but I can’t condone
Talkin’ Patreon just because I lack the notes
For backin’ folks.
I’m lookin’ for the map to dough.
You seen it?
Been makin a whole lot of changes.
I grew out a beard, haven’t shaved it,
Hopin’ sponsors will see what my stage is.
I look all around and see so many F.A.C.E.s…
Yeah
That’s when I start to get wistful…
That’s when fingers become pistols.
That’s when I go from my fiscals,
Watch the zingers sizzle,
Lookin’ to cook victuals (vittles), and …
Where’d the bread go?
Ohh!
Ain’t that somethin’?
Funds came in, didn’t see that comin’.
Hands on the plow, can’t stop me workin’
I killed my ninja star, had to cease my shirkin’.
Throw it away like ‘I don’t want it!’
Watch it fly, bright like a comet;
Someone screams because they sat on it…
I said ‘don’t touch it’,
Now y’all done it.
I can be critical,
Never typical.
Intricate with every syllable
Like it’s clinical.
Instrumental like a noisy scalpel,
It’s the Aux Cable.
Even on hiatus, it makes you feel like you’re in it, though.
You call it what you wanna, but never call it forgettable.
Leave you deep in thought or water; it’s whatever floats your boat.
Way that I’ve been thinkin’ is Cinematic, it’s beautiful.
Man, I don’t know if I’m Owl City or a podcast host (podcast host)
Yeah, the sails can rise,
Doesn’t mean much, though, if the wind declines.
See we’ve all got somethin’ buried deep inside
That we try to elevate, you know, hoping it flies,
Try to hold it over water, just in case it waves ‘hi’,
Then it blows up out of nowhere like balloons in the mines,
Then it hovers over you to help your whole ship arrive.
You don’t relate to that? Must not have family like I have.
The point I’m makin’ is the mind is a powerful place,
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way.
It’s pretty neat right? Yeah, but it’s not always safe.
Let me tell you ‘bout the combination station, okay?
Just think about it for a second: if you look at your F.A.C.E.
Every day when you get up and think we’ll never be great,
You’ll never be great.
Not because we’re not, but the hate
Will try to cool off your group promptness till you think “isolate”.
(Whoo)
We’ve been developin’,
Take a look at the benefits.
Remember ‘My Legs’ width?
We could never be delicate.
Are we even relevant?
That depends how you measure it.
Take a measurement,
Grow the calves up and give me the elephants.
Pretty evident,
Dependable, a visible specimen.
There’s adrenaline,
Depending on if we’re hunting venison.
Pretty elegant,
But not afraid to tell you to get a grip.
Proper etiquette:
We let the warden know when we celebrate.
Ah! It’s that time again,
Better grab your headphones and invite your friends.
Aux Cable’s back on, yeah, plug it in.
Look at me, everybody, I’m smilin’ big. 😀
On a road right now that I can’t predict.
Tell me tone that down, but I won’t desist.
My judgment’s sound so it’s case dismissed.
Podcast begins,
It’s back so enjoy the trip. 🙂

Here is me attempting to post a comment at 2:22am on 2/2/20…
Maybe I should’ve waited a couple years to match digits exactly.

Tube late.

Except… it’s not tube late. It’s right on time… and early.

Such a paradox this post is. Maybe I’d better get some sleep.

[Jeff Ross]

I hope no one writing on this thread is currently suffering from that either. #BringBackManalive

[Jeff Ross]

This could easily be a pun-lover’s jam, so I’m spreading it here:

[Jeff Ross]

Just being a good Christian and crossposting this pun-filled video to appropriate places in the Not-Forum. I wouldn’t want to leave it orphaned on just one thread. (That’s an attempt at a pun based on James 1:27, a verse that everyone should study religiously.)

[Jeff Ross]

This song belongs on this thread… and possibly others too, sew I might put it in other places. I wonder if I could tie it in to several different Not-Forum conversations. Anyway, I think the lady in the video is a pretty good Singer.

[Jeff Ross]

Here’s the update presentation I made recapping tube years on YouTube:

[Jeff Ross]

Definitely not a day late. Nope.

Merry Christmas, everyone! 😀

(It is remarkable to me looking back that the “A Visit from St. Nicholas” parody on this thread was composed before I had ever written a single YouTube comment. But even more remarkable to me is 1 John 3:1 and how great God’s Love for us is, that He would come and give His life for us even when we were still His enemies, all that we might be a part of His family.)

[Jeff Ross]

I heard that shortly after the automobile was invented, the first chauffeur was hired. I respect the first person to hire a chauffeur, for he seems to have been a very driven individual. You can really go places if you have a mindset like that.

[Jeff Ross]

Did you hear about the guy who invented the roller coaster? His experience was full of ups and downs.

(I’m not sure if that counts as a pun or is just a joke, so I’ll try another one.)

That invention AP mentioned was wheely important for progress at the time of its contrivance. Later on, the development of the U-Haul helped keep things moving.

[Jeff Ross]

Below is the third video of my username being pronounced, and it also shows some of the places I’ve been on YouTube during the time since I made the second one.

[Jeff Ross]

Time for a challenge; see how well you do:

[Jeff Ross]

Did you hear about the invention that’s sweeping the nation?

It’s called a broom.

[Jeff Ross]

That’s not the worst idea in the world… but what would we kerfuffle to effectively motivate the release of a new Aux Cable episode?

[Jeff Ross]

[Jeff Ross]

[Jeff Ross]

Happy Auxversary to the Aux Cable!

*enters premises*

Housekeeping!

*proceeds to fold a clean fitted sheet, per instructions from Episode 004*

Alright, carry on. 🙂

*vacates premises*

[I read this thread’s title just now and was reminded of how at hotels, the staff will often knock on the door during the day, yell “Housekeeping!”, and then enter to clean the room if no one is there objecting to them doing so. Hence this seemingly random post.]

[Jeff Ross]

Oh, I just remembered that I had catalogued all the parodies from the Not-Forum that I could find on the various threads. XD I looked up my spreadsheet just now, and apparently I had compiled it in August 2018, so a year ago. I have just updated it and, according to my records, we have roughly 28 song parodies that are specifically Aux Cable-related, plus a poem parody, and 8 song parodies that aren’t specifically Aux Cable-related, all housed on the Not-Forum in various threads. [I say “roughly” because it’s possible that there are some I’ve missed or fragments of some that I didn’t count.]

[Jeff Ross]

Would you believe me if I told you

There’s no such thing as Peter Pan
No such place as Never Never Land

[Jeff Ross]

Oh, look, this thread hasn’t been utilized in awhile… time to make up for lost time:

On August 12-13, 2019, the F.A.C.E.s conducted a ten-hour-long Skype call, setting a new group record, with appearances from at least ten different F.A.C.E.s at various times during the call. No one F.A.C.E. was actually on the call the entire time, although I was there for most of it, taking some notes about what went on. Here is a summary:

Bekah’s Dad prancing in the background

Unboxing a sustain pedal for a keyboard

“How to get away with killing a piano”

AP’s earrings and how she got them

Barbara Manatee

Awkward Potato’s Valley Girl Accent (and other accidental accents)

Bekah and AP’s little pictures

Bekah’s extra tiny hand

Appearances from Bekah’s younger siblings

Looking at the chat, there appeared to be a political discussion with Josiah, but I missed it

Shay and her podcasting & releasing ambitions for this school year

Joshua and long-lasting helium birthday balloons

Shay showcased some of her drawings

The Skype call was so long that both Blimey Cow and the EntrePUNeur released videos, but they had to wait for most of us as the Skype call took priority

Shay’s mother, sister, and dog all came to say “hi” at various times

Purple Panda feeding “a bunch of birds” and the story of feeding a dead fish

Thinking about playing the ukulele while upside down

Purple Panda showed off some of her “typography”

The color of blood and people’s insides

Eyelash length determines femininity

Angie’s haircut

At one point, Skype kicked us all off (roughly the 6.5 hour mark), but we resumed immediately without a hitch and did not consider it the start of a new call

Idea for an Aux Cable film contest parody for a commercial

Stories of how we found the Aux Cable & Inner Tube podcasts

Dorito ASMR

AP’s AIO trading cards

Coming up with a contrived scenario for an “Angie doing ASMR” Aux Cable episode

“Being irresponsible” (and how tame F.A.C.E.s being irresponsible is compared to the rest of the world)

Late night laughing

Skype Auto-fill discussions

“Boop” as a greeting

Thinking about why “host” rhymes with “most” and not “lost”

New Skype emojis

My computer overheated, kicking me off, and when I returned, there was immediately an accidental screenshot

Learning all about slumber parties

Various misspellings of my name (for such is considered quality entertainment in the wee hours of the morning)

Purple Panda woke up in order to watch a meteor shower… and found the call was still going on because we were waiting for her

Concluding the ten-hour-long Skype call with “ten” puns (words with “ten” in them, like “atTENtion”)

There were other things that I could have included in this summary, but some of them aren’t suited for being presented out-of-context, and some of them weren’t very memorable. What I have here, though, is plenty for now. Thank you to all the F.A.C.E.s who took some time out of their schedules to participate in this record-setting event. 🙂

#thatmomentwhen you become Eugene Meltsner. (Skype call reference)

[Jeff Ross]

I miss Manalive too. #BringBackManalive

[Jeff Ross]

#thatmomentwhen Oh, look, it’s the month of Auxgust.

[Jeff Ross]

Tergiversate- derived from Latin words meaning “to turn back” and “to show reluctance”, this verb in English can mean to desert a cause or affiliation (like an apostate would).

[Jeff Ross]

Happy Anniversary, Ryan and Hannah!

[Jeff Ross]

My apologies! I didn’t mean to for that comment to post twice. I’ve had some Not-Forum posting issues recently that have required me to sometimes submit a comment twice for it to post once… but that time it posted both submissions.
