Experiments
Here in the Experiments area you'll find all the brow-furrowing, chin-stroking activities that The ECC has been up to. Mischievous MP3s, vituperous videos, cued and ready for instant consumption and sardonic satisfaction.
Note the categories to the left. If you want only music, click MP3s. If you want only videos, there's that too. You can also peek into our Testing Area to hear beta tests and unfinished experiments that we're playing around with. And if you're wondering just what the hell we were thinking when we made those experiments, you might find the answers in our blog. Recent additions to all four categories are listed below.
Burning Man Decompression 2008
Tuesday, 29 September 2009 13:39
In 2008 Mark Day was nice enough to make a video of The ECC's Wheel Of Mashup show at Burning Man's Decompression event -- thanks Mark! Unfortunately, he wasn't nice enough to stay sober during the filming... ahem... yet he nonetheless edited together a pretty coherent video of the night, where we got to show off our new VidiMasher 3000 to a sizable audience at Cafe Cocomo:
New Euphemisms for SEX
Saturday, 08 November 2008 10:41
It all started with "Pickle in the Pail" which was part of a lyric in an old ECC song, "Sperms Got Germs", from the album, "Double the Phat and Still Tasteless". The exact line in the song goes, "I put my pickle in the pail and then that chick began to wail." After that it was used as the name of a short video show that TradeMark did back in the 1990's. I'm not sure where he came up with the phrase originally but lately we just can't stop using it. I mean how could we help ourselves when it is such a good euphemism for having sex? But we didn't stop there. Of course we didn't. No, we decided to try and come up with a new euphemism for sex daily while away on honeymoon in France. What do you expect? We're newlyweds after all. And now that we're married we are allowed to have sex. So we went to work inventing a list of new euphemisms for sex. Feel free to use any that suit your fancy. Here's what we have come up with so far:
- Pickle in the pail
- Fertilizing the flower bed
- Monkey eating a banana
- Traversing the fjord
- Fuel injection
- Taking the love luge on the inbound loin line
- In 'n' out, scream 'n' shout
- Take the bullet train through Yonker's tunnel
- Going fishing for trouser trout
- Harnessing the underwear unicorn
- Just made a tight connection
- Hop on pop
- Tiptoe through the two lips
- Backing up the hard drive
- Shaving the kabob
- Bring up a dragon in your pants - new! (thanks, Megan)
Do you have one to add? Send it over and we'll post it on the list.
