What do Lou Gehrig, Auguste Rodin‘s The Thinker, and Youtube have in common? Not much, until now!

I’ve had a Youtube channel that I’ve done nothing with for ages. I keep threatening to make animations or tutorials or who knows what, and then I don’t. But I’m going to try and start branching out a bit so I wanted to make sure I knew how to upload videos and link them to various other social networking sites. To that end, I needed to come up with a funny in order to have something to post… and that’s where this comes in…

I was thinking (see what I did there) about Lou Gehrig’s famous speech, and Rodin’s famous sculpture popped into my mind. A little creative editing with the actual soundtrack and I separated out the beginning from the ending so that I could leave that little bit of silence to let the joke settle in… used a little Photoshop magic to remove Lou Gehrig and replace him with the sculpture, and there you have it! It’s one of those things that technically works without the audio, but I feel like the audio really drives the joke home… so it made for a nice test subject for my new old Youtube channel.

In the future, I plan on doing some animations with voices and sounds and all that cool stuff… and perhaps some instructional/tutorial videos as well. Who knows what might pop into my weird mind. If you like anything at all I do here, please check out and subscribe to my Youtube channel and keep your eyes peeled!
