Satan’s Seat
When we moved in to our new house up north we discovered a lot of nasty stuff. The place hadn’t been cleaned before we moved in, and quite possibly the most disgusting artifact of the previous tenants was a cracked, green plush toilet seat.
This of course spawned an idea for me, because I hate plush toilet seats. Seriously, who wants to sit on something squishy and (usually) mildly sticky when they go to the bathroom? I always assume that it’s sticky because somebody left a surprise on the seat, and since they retain heat going immediately after somebody else is that much more unpleasant.
So of course we deemed it “Satan’s Seat” and avoided it for something like a month before buying a new, smooth wooden seat. In the meantime we filmed a video about it. This was also to be John Dalbey’s last video with us before he moved to Germany to get married, so we had to do him in.
We didn’t want to kill him off though, hoping that he’d be back someday, so we just debilitated him at the end.
RufioJJ (his real name is Jon but he’s better known as Rufio on the intertubez) played our blind guy/Satan and was also the interviewer off camera. We hope to have him in another video someday assuming he ever comes back from the happiest place on Earth, where he’s been working for a while now.
This was also Cody’s debut. He and I generally do play pranks on blind people when we get the chance, but this was a particularly mean fabrication of sorts.
Interesting fact: John’s ring tone in the video was from a flash cartoon that came out when I was in high school. It’s still awesome.
Slightly less interesting fact: I bought that wicker chair (which I call my throne) for $4 at a yard sale across the street.
VASTLY less interesting fact: I kept that toilet seat for a whole year in 4 plastic bags just in case we wanted to use it as a prop again. That was a bad idea for what should be very apparent reasons.
