Jeff RossNoah’s youngest son decided to plant a tree in the middle of a plain, and he took care of it until it was the tallest thing that could be seen for miles around. One day after it was fully grown, Noah and his wife were walking through the plain. When Noah saw the tree, he asked his wife if she knew how it had gotten there. Her response was:
Aye, Ham Grew ‘t.

Jeff RossDon’t forget what today is:
Jeff RossHappy Thanksgiving, every F.A.C.E.!
I am grateful for this thread, which contains a good number of things to be thankful for.
Jeff RossI’m going to go to sleep soon. Just thought you’d like to know, random reader.

Jeff RossBelow is a parody of The Hype by TØP, written from the perspective of hypothetical Ryan Matlock. (I wrote this a while back and tinkered with it yesterday. Since Ryan decided to release a video about patrons today, and patrons were mentioned in the parody, I’ve decided to go ahead and release this. I struggled with how to approach the second line of the chorus, which is why it changes each time the chorus is repeated.)
Sometimes I am told I am patronized
My entire fan base needs to galvanize
I’ve got to stand fast or I’ll blow away
I’ll record my podcast so the patrons pay
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I don’t quite see the hype
But I find you’re a beautiful sight
And you’ll be just fine
Just don’t you leave the Skype
Yeah, they might be talkin’ inside your head
Whether you’re getting up or going to bed
It might take cool friends to get through the freeze
But you will get plugged in eventually
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I hope you keep polite
Plus I find you’re a beautiful sight
And you’ll be just fine
Just don’t you leave the Skype
No, I don’t know when we’re releasing
But you can hear when it comes out
No, I don’t know when we’re releasing
But you can hear when it comes out
No, I don’t know when we’re releasing
But you can hear when it comes out
No, I don’t know when we’re releasing
But you can hear when it comes out
But you can hear when it comes out
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
(I’m so relieved that’s right)
Plus I find you’re a beautiful sight
And you’ll be just fine
Just don’t you leave the Skype
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
We’ll quote some scenes, all right
Plus I find you’re a beautiful sight
And you’ll be just fine
Just don’t you leave the Skype
Nice to know my kind will be on my side
I’ll post when reason rhymes
And I know you’re holding on so tight
But you’ll be just fine
Just don’t you leave the Skype

Jeff RossI have a brother who has worked in the tech field before. He sent me a link to this article with the message “This theological position would have come in handy on several occasions ?”

Jeff RossWait, how did I not remember how good this thread was back when it tried to stick to the rules?
(I just re-read this thread from start to finish. It was so good… #BringBackAllFACES )
Jeff RossMy favorite hymn of today is “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” by Joseph M. Scriven. Apparently he wrote it as a poem to his mother entitled “Pray Without Ceasing”, but it was later renamed and set to music by Charles Crozat Converse. I find the hymn to be an excellent reminder to pray, and considering its lyrics brings to mind Philippians 4:6-7.
Jeff Ross#thatmomentwhen you start researching to write a Not-Forum post about one thing…and you learn something unanticipated that turns the post into something else.
Jeff RossI was re-reading this thread, and I’m quite confident that in “Endangered Love”, the guy hanging out with Barbara Manatee on the TV show was named “Bill”, not “Phil”, and every place I’ve looked online says it’s “Bill” as well. Using “Bill” gives the song more alliteration. I point this out because when I read it on the second page of this thread, I thought the song might be making an allusion to Phil Vischer, one of VeggieTales’s creators. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
In preparation for writing this post, I watched Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki talking about this song on the “King George and the Ducky” commentary and the “Ultimate Silly Song Countdown” behind the scenes. (A Veggie Tales wikia page recommended those sources.) It turns out that the song as originally pitched by Mike Nawrocki was referenced as “Albino Manatee” and was about Larry watching a Cajun cooking show…where the chef was cooking manatee. Phil Vischer anticipated getting letters about a song like that, even if the moral turned out to be “don’t cook manatees”, so he had Mike shelve the song idea and re-work it later.
The verse from the original that Mike quoted:
A glorious mammalian sensation
With a curious lack of pigmentation;
First you scoop them from the river,
Then to serve them up for dinner,
You just sing this little song with me:
Fricassee, Fricassee, Manatee
So in case you were wondering: Yes, there were silly song ideas that were too silly to be made into silly songs.
Jeff RossWith the new changes to Not-Forum posting, I’m guessing that SuperOptimisticJumpingNoodleSquad either won’t be back or will come back with the intent of sticking around, since an actual account would have to be made in order to post again. I’d say that the odds suggest that the former is more likely than the latter.
Jeff RossBarring an unforeseen new account creation or name change or rule change to permit non-account holders to post again, the Not-Forum has been finally and completely un-Tingled.
Jeff RossHe really is. Currently looking at getting Bryce Harper a massive contract.
Jeff RossThis is my favorite cover of a Taylor Swift song. I think the song fits this singer very well.
Jeff RossMy name is Big Head Kid and I’m here to say
I’ve got unpopular opinions that’ll last for days
Jeff RossLimits
Jeff Ross#thatmomentwhen Haha, Joshua.
Though I seem to be the last remaining,
You will not see me at all complaining
For the F.A.C.E.s have not deserted me,
Just moved their primary locality.
The Not-Forum may once more come alive
Once listeners notice the podcast revive.
Until then, I shall keep a beating pulse
In this place where we met, lest we repulse
A late-arriving fan of the podcast
And cause the fanatic to be downcast.

Jeff RossHere’s something I made:
Jeff RossThe official wedding video, filmed at the exact same wedding as the livestream above, released today:
Jeff RossHmm…now I’m wondering whether I should’ve used “lyrics” instead of “answer” in the parody…oh, well. Maybe next time I’ll wait a day after writing a parody so I can double-check after I sleep for mistakes and improvements. Maybe I’m taking this tube seriously…
Jeff RossI just realized that the line “raised from death” is supposed to be “raised from rest”…I started with the original lyrics and then I wrote the parody on top of it, so it seems I neglected to change that one word. Sorry about that.
Jeff RossI wanted to write a “Pet Cheetah” parody for Masøn…and this is what I came up with. I tried to keep the “song-writing” theme, altering it slightly to a “parody-writing” theme. There’s only one extra syllable I had to add, but I think it makes for a better parody:
Young Giraffe
I am still wide-awake, no one to confide.
Four time zones, for the F.A.C.E.s who do reside
In North America, yet I do remind
You that when I am nocturnal, they are not online.
No, I won’t go. I want to write rhymes.
I’ll sit here till I find my answer.
There is a young giraffe janitor in T.O.P.H.A.T.
Undismayed, well behaved, his name is Masøn
M., and he hastens to make parodies,
Now the young giraffe’s quicker to be reposing than to make these.
I will compose and get going,
I’m showing the F.A.C.E.s in just enough places,
I’m done with tip-toeing.
I’ll stay in my room,
Allowed to go out where the others are lurking but soon
I shall find sleep, I bet.
This poem from my mind’s best
Will let Masøn know that he’s growing.
This clique means so much to this dude,
It could make him aware of his music,
And be raised from death to let loose it.
No, I won’t go. I want to write rhymes.
I’ll sit here till I find my answer.
I feel parodies start to flow in my mind,
So I’ll take this moment most are dozing to transcribe.
Young giraffe. Giraffe.
No more song about giraffe.
Needs another paragraph.
Audience is sleeping and snoring
While I laugh, while I laugh, while I laugh
While I laugh, while I laugh. XD
I want more on this track.
Yeah, that’d be… that’d be good.
