The Town of Odyssey

Wow, several high reviews of The Jubilee Singers. I'm excited!

Great topic, Bennett!

Congratulations to the winner-- well-deserved! I liked hearing from the people who made it.

Thanks for the link, Lizzie!

Woohoo! Will listen shortly. Thanks Regis!

I once threw a $10 bill in the trash. I was in a college physics lab and had some trash in my pocket. I reached in my pocket and tossed it all in the trash can, forgetting that I'd also had a folded up $10 in there. I didn't realize it until after the physics lab was locked up. And it stays locked u...

Yeah, I was told that I could get the tires changed. I'm not picky on looks, but the bike I have is already at least a decade old and just not up-to-snuff. I did check out cheaper deal like trade-ins, but the problem is that a bike in my size would be a little rarer. So yeah, I bought a road bike (t...

Haha, the actor for Alex is very good. When he got upset at Nick, I really started believing the scene.

Agreed, AE, the out of control temper was believable. "He put NUTS on my SUNDAE!"

Thanks for the link, Lizzie.

Lizzie's AIO Club rocks! That was very good. In particular, the actors for Eugene and Whit were believable, and both acted well! Lizzie, great job assembling the people and splicing the vid together!

I hoping that Eugene would shave his head to give the birds a nest, not to prevent them from nesting. Oh well! I concur with the general consensus that the Eugene plotline was unrealistic. HOWEVER, I absolutely loved Camilla's story. Asking for pets is something very realistic (My younger siblings h...

Largest : Higher Education! I've spent in the 5-digit range. 2nd Largest : Laptop. $1200 in 2004. Boy, have prices gone down! 3rd Largest : Road Bike? I am seriously considering buying a road bike for a sprint triathlon (and beyond). I attended a group ride/run. I was the only one without a road bi...

I was pleasantly surprised to receive prize money today.
Thanks to The King's Daughter for running a fun word game!
Thanks to Moontide for providing the monetary prize!

I started a new thread to discuss the official entries, but I do hope to see more entries posted! As evidenced by videos like Bob Booth's and the Aloha Oy! entry, just because your entry did not get picked for the Top 10 does not mean it is not outstanding! Please share your creativity with us.

Watch them now and vote! http://whitsendblog.org/2010/04/new-video-podcast-vote-on-the-act-like-odyssey-finalists/ Warning: may take some time to load since there are 10 vids + a podcast. I voted #1 (Broken Window). It was an ambitious scene and the actors delivered. In particular, the actor who pla...

Someone once said that as he got older, he had less forgiving to do. The reason was not that he was wronged less, he simply got offended less. I've applied this principle to the baseball coach (and originally did to Andre "Whit III" Stojka though I'm beginning embrace him). Upon a second l...

The scene in which Doris tries to haggle and get a good deal for a $2.50 coin purse; she ends up getting a 2 for $5 "deal."

Here's another entry from the Elijah episode.

I went to a trivia night last night. Before the event started, one of my friends was looking us trivia on his phone to test us for fun. He asked us what it's called when people use 2 flags to communicate with each other. I knew it was semaphore thanks to Arthur. View this hilarious(ly weird) clip . ...

Very interesting. Bob Booth, it's awesome that you took the initiative to contact G. Locke and got to speak with him! Thanks for sharing his views on the new artwork. I would not have thought that he does not like his own work.

Entries are popping up on youtube. Just search for "Act like Odyssey contest" or "Adventures in Odyssey Contest" on youtube and you'll see more results. I really like the Jeremy Cartwood one (2nd link DAM posted). This Aloha Oy! entry is also very well done! Mr.Whit and others-- ...

Candy: Good for you for not feeling compelled to be obsessed with the pop culture mumbo jumbo... though I do hear the Jonas Brothers are overt Christians? Good for them. :) King Butter Turtle: Trombone player? Cool! I do think you should give bridges (and engineers) another chance though. ;) Pseudon...

I love seeing people's realization reactions to this fact as well. It's like Star Wars-- revealing a familial relationship makes all the difference!

I think Target of the Week is my favorite so far, though Clutter was very good as well! I really like Vance as the Rodney replacement. He's still the overt bully but has a different dimension by being a straight A student and acting perfectly in class. Great! Dalton Kearn from the Leonard Meltsner A...
