Messin’ with Mimefest Spring is a wonderful time in our nation’s capital. Life-giving showers have reinvigorated our plants and our spirits as we prepare for the summer heat and the arrival of thousands of Bigfoots into the DC metro area. This year’s Bigfoot influx is expected to be the biggest in nearly 10 years, and [...]

Get more out of life with a Masters in Stealing John’s Likeness
March 18, 2009
Mimefest 2009, MBA Marylhurst University: “Academic Excellence Since 1893″ and “Wanton Disregard for John’s Sense of Self since 1998″ One trip to through the Imperial Sand Dunes at the Arizona/California border during our 1998 trip to San Diego, and Richard and I inspired an entire advertising campaign for Marylhurst University. I hate to think what [...]
Five dollar Mimefest!
November 28, 2008
The only redeeming aspect of the Arizona Cardinals’ embarrassing performance against the Philadelphia Eagles: the Philly cheeseteaks at Subways in Philadelphia taste much better than they do in Arizona.
Footlong beards are so two millennia ago

\ The Library of Congress is perhaps the most beautiful building in Washington DC, and it provides unquestionably the most opportunities (1) for forced public mimicry of nude, unrealistically muscular old men in strange acquatic settings. After performing your mime of choice, you should proceed directly to the Exploring the Early Americas exhibit, which [...]
MimeFest 2008: Pinky and the Neuroscientist
November 15, 2008
Two Johns. One color. Can you handle it? As John and I quickly realized, being Samers at a wedding isn’t quite as cool when the color pink is involved. However, it does provide us all an opportunity to revisit one of my favorite videos Internets videos, Pinky: Pet of the Week. I can’t imagine the [...]
MimeFest 2008: Periwinkle is the new black

Peter, Purple, and John Thankfully, Pete and I were only identified as Samers long after Steve’s wedding had ended. Extra points to Pete for looking like the angry coupling of a bald Curt Schilling and himself. Bones.

For some reason, Bun and I seem to thrive at weddings, a trend that was documented quite poetically in THIS Journal entry of yesteryear.

Blue Double-Cross During our trip to Oregon, Lindsor, Devon, and I spent a day exploring the Columbia River Gorge, a 12 million year old canyon that stretches for 80 miles through the Cacsade Range. En route to Multnomah Falls, one of over 77 waterfalls along the historic Columbia River Highway, we stopped at several popular [...]
Mr. Pickle’s (or MimeFest 2008: You don’t cook your pickles? That’s funny!)
October 1, 2008
Make no mistake: sandwiches are my favorite food. And, I don’t mean any particular sandwich, such as a turkey sandwich or a corned beef Reuben, but sandwiches as a collective singular entity. I staked this claim many years ago, long before Joey from Friends said that his favorite food was sandwiches, long before Potbelly Sandwich [...]
MimeFest 2004 Flashback
September 9, 2008
Happy entrails to you How much am I excited about the 2008 Society for Neuroscience Conference in Washington DC? So excited that I felt compelled to revisit this scenario from 2004. All in all a terrifying image: John mimicking a naked mannequin that has an incredibly detailed half-body yet no identifiable genitalia. Did it even [...]
