No, no, JKB! Certainly not.

I was just giving Gar King a hard time, as I usually do, when something he presents does not live up to his prior works.

As he's a Young Blood, I went ahead and gave a bit of advice on how to complete his package/offering.

Don't worry guys. Just wait til Sunday. I think the video will match my previous ones.

Livin....don't mind us. You should totally write for those blogs...2 reasons:
1) your writing is fine.

2) the # one takeaway i took from being an editor is realizing that the intended audience isn't me. Im just there to help the writer communicate to his actual audience, the readers. Impressing guys like me (or even making their job easier, for that matter) isnt your job, nor should it be something you are even marginally concerned about. If an editor, or even a reader is that picky that you need to worry about it, they are not worthy of being your audience, and are what i like to call a "shcwanzbag."

If you like telling the story, someone will LOVE reading it. Go for it, man.

The suspense is killing me. I hope it's not another "Turtle Grabbing" video.

haha why you didnt like that one?

Well, it would have been a lot more interesting if it had been a huge, nasty Snapper, or, an angry, long necked Soft Shell turtle..... But nooooo! You grabbed some little turtle who didn't even try to bite you. It was hiding in it's shell. A six year old girl wearing her best Sunday dress could've done that. lol

Seriously though, I enjoy your videos. Just don't get carried away and do something dangerous in the interest of being impressive. Otherwise, you might end up on "Tosh.0"

Anybody ever seen that turtle man show on animal planet?

I spent 30 years as an IT headhunter and never saw a job order that didn't include "Good written and oral communication".

Now, I do resume writing/career coaching and pay very close attention to sentence structure, proper wording, etc. I also create a marketing document from a job hunters chronological record of their employment history. I probably review 3 resumes per week and find very few that I would send out. I recently butchered and reworked a business proposal for a medium sized company. The CEO was smart enough to realize that, in his words, he was a much better BS slinger than written communicator.

Muleshoe Texas didn't have any stumps to jump over. We didn't even have trees. I guess I could have jumped over a cotton stalk or a calf.

Dave, most of my professional writing was technical and cut and dried - proper English came easy.
But oral presentations are an entirely different matter.
You nailed it - you have to know your audience!

So Sunday it is, then!

I wonder if Gar King will go Mano A Mano with an Alligator, or a Painted Turtle.

Fishing by toes works for me.

In response to Jwwann,

woohoo! turtleman!

Me and Jodi get a hoot out of the Turtleman. I think the shows name is "call of the wildman" I don't know why it is called that when he refers to himself (very often) as the Turtleman.

Live action!

He's the Turtle Man because he got his YouTube fame "noodling" for snapping turtles.

I must admit to having watched (and enjoyed) that show myself. However, I can't help but think it's like a cooking challenge, where the mystery ingredient is a suffix......

Combine equal parts creativity and insanity, and blend well. Fold in a generous helping of peculiarity and set aside. In another bowl, mix one part excitability with two parts irrationality. Add the contents of both bowls together, mix well and serve. For a garnish, sprinkle with your choice of oddity.

The dish needs a name....we'll call it reality, and hope it generates productivity, rather than irregularity.

It is entertaining to watch however.

Maybe. This summer, my videos will be crazy.

Could end up with your own show, like Turtle Man, someday.

I just finished making my new video. It is one of my best and it will be up sunday morning.

Why the wait? Let get that puppy posted!!!

I put my noodling videos up on sunday. I'll give you a sneak peek. I jump on two turtles.

Keep having that fun and you might have to change your name to Stubby.
