A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

[X] “Spam” Script
Mark balances his checkbook and Henry blogs.
MARK
We're running out of money. I'm not sure how much longer we can stay here.
HENRY
We just need more hits. Look, I don't get it - we are writing brilliant social commentary, right?
MARK
Yes.
HENRY
Yeah, then why aren't millions of people tuning into our site every day?
MARK
Maybe we need to advertise?
HENRY
Mark, you're a genius. We need to advertise! ... we should spam!
MARK
What?! We're not going to start spamming!
HENRY
Why not? We could reach millions of people in a matter of seconds. Our website will be famous - we'll be famous!
MARK
Spam is dirty, Henry. BathTubYoga should not be associated with such things as illegal prescription drugs and pornographers. Look, its never worked for anyone, not even that poor Nigerian prince, people hate him now.
HENRY
What are you on about?
MARK
Spamming is an invasion of privacy.
CUT TO: Austin sits peacefully on the toilet, Henry barges in.
MARK
You can't just approach someone in their personal space.
HENRY
Look, you've got it all wrong Mark.
CUT TO: Austin sits restlessly on the toilet, searching for toilet paper. Henry victoriously enters with a fresh roll.
HENRY
Spamming is a way of bringing great products that were previously unheard of or unavailable to the public. It's a service.
MARK
A service? When was the last time that anybody actually wanted spam? It's annoying, it's a nuisance, it's unwanted.
CUT TO: Henry pokes Austin with a giant crayon. Austin fights back, only to be pummeled.
MARK
You think you've stopped it with spam blockers, but no - it just comes right back at you!
HENRY
Yeah, well we've got no money. We're broke. You want to go home and tell daddy you bollocked it up again? Hmm? Great.
MARK
Well, we're not using my computer.

Thanks, asshole. First you don't wire money to me when I need it and now you're broadcasting to the world, convincing people they hate me.
Congratulations on your first entertaining episode. Even if your most subtle joke was made at my expense. At least the sassy, little fellow didn't spend the entire time screaming. Do a lot more of whatever you did this time, and a lot less of whatever you were doing before. If you're tempted to post shit - don't; I, for one, would rather find nothing new at all. I think the same is true for most people who appreciate quality.
Perhaps you'd like to send me your episodes before you post them? I could review them, maybe make a suggestion or two, you know, quality control. Of course, there would be a small fee. Let me know what you think and I'll figure out how you can send me your social security numbers safely. Oh wait, you wankers are from the UK. I'll find out if maybe the routing number to your bank account will get the job done.
I'm still more popular than you clowns,

Hope you are not responsible for the 1097 rebound "spam" emails I receive every hour. I wanted to kill the "guy" whom used my email to send spam, but after your episode... I kinda feel for him, and I can see the things under a different light.
Great work guys. Keep them coming.
