Three (and maybe four) will be out next week. Enjoy fake mustaches, hand-holding trains, not-alive bears, and Jenga. It’ll all make sense when you watch. Actually, not it won’t.&lt;/p&gt;

It’s the completely ridiculous tale of three men who will stop at nothing to save their friend who has suddenly been stricken with typhoid. It’s a comedy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first two episodes were shot back in the fall of 2005. I gotta say, the second episode is what will really hook you and was always a fan favorite (guest starring the brilliant &lt;a href="http://mattedits.tumblr.com/"&gt;Matt Pollock&lt;/a&gt; as the Typhoidologist) so if you think the first one sucks, just keep watching. I’ll be posting a new episode every week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Episode 2: The Typhoidologist is &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-4NKz-A-ss"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and in my post to follow this one.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/224020370</link><guid>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/224020370</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:26:25 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Thinking of renaming Bunny… Colossus.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have a question for you, Tumblr!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you miss me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry I’ve been away. I’ve been busy being unemployed and not getting tan, as you can plainly see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I’m back for a bit. With a vengeance. But mainly, for a reason: I’ll be re-releasing an old web series of mine (and a few other’s) via Tumblr—some of you might remember &lt;i&gt;Saving Jeremiah&lt;/i&gt;. No reason to do it now, but no reason not to. Just for laughs and nostalgia’s sake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, stay tuned. I love you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can’t speak for the entire Tumblr population but I missed you Paul. Look at that face, just look. What happened at HBO? It’s not unemployment if you’re having a good time bro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Girlfriend! Thanks for the warm welcome. My department at HBO got sold — and I was not included in that sale. Couldn’t afford me, I guess.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I’m in a better place for it. Good things happening/on the horizon. Word. Good hearing from you.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/221615027</link><guid>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/221615027</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:25:45 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>I have a question for you, Tumblr!

Exposed!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;So I’m gonna go on a little rant here. I’m sure a ton of you are familiar with this little poem I found on a coffee mug I was given at Frank’s diner today in Burbank. It’s called “Footprints in the Sand”, and goes like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to him and the other to the LORD.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it. “LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; The LORD replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the mug, it was attributed to Unknown Author, but I guess the mug didn’t Google search because it was actually Mary Stevenson in 1936. But I guess when it comes to people who believe in this shit, the more mysterious the better! But I digress. I want to get to my point. And that point is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What UTTER BULLSHIT this thing is. What condescending nonsense. You might think this little anecdote is harmless, but think about it for a second. This “Lord” is being given all the credit for you surviving every trial and tribulation in your life. It wasn’t YOU who endured through pain and strife. No. It was “the Lord” carrying you. Couldn’t have done it without the Lord! You are weak and must depend on Him!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take a hard time in your life. Let’s say your pet hamster went into cardiac arrest and then exploded for some reason. This is traumatizing for you. You’re upset. But you know you have to go on living your life. You press on, you deal with it in your own process… Maybe praying is part of that, but that is YOU doing the praying, making YOURSELF feel better, not some Lord sprinkling magic “feel better” dust from the Heavens. You pray for yourself. OR you talk to friends and family about it, vent a little, cry on their shoulder. And one day you wake up and it doesn’t hurt anymore to remember your hamster has perished. Give yourself the credit. Acknowledge that YOU made it through this and that you don’t need some imaginary being to fix everything in your life. Feel good about yourself knowing that you have it within you to push through. Or AT LEAST give some credit to those friends and family, whose love and understanding is ACTUALLY tangible, who helped you get through your rough patch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s like me giving you a hundred bucks so you can keep your heat on next month, you turning away from me without saying a word, and then thanking the Lord for the cash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you see how things like this just hurt the human condition? I believe that as a species we are strong, intelligent, resilient, and don’t need religious hocus pocus to lean on to survive. Our strength is earthly. It is in each other. And that is a million times more beautiful than what this poem is suggesting.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/146969004</link><guid>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/146969004</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:09:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>iammattjordan:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I quite enjoyed this. Totally different pace from Superbad, but not a bad thing.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loved it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/146594174</link><guid>http://paulgulyas.tumblr.com/post/146594174</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:45:35 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>barefootvinyl:
