As you know Jhason and Virginie are expecting, as well as Roland and Cindy. Thought I'd start a post to see what names we can help them come up with. What do you think?... post your comments.

We've all seen the SBC Packagers and Superfriends Flash skit. Well, those skits actually originated from Rex Navarette's first CD entitled "Husky Boy". Rex Navarette is a Filipino-American and is just hilarious. A bunch of us from DABU can relate to his jokes - a good number of us being Filipino. You can preview this CD up at http://savefile.com/projects/788754

Some DABU "Couples" sites have popped up in recent days. You can check out Ollie and Ricky's new website at http://hayes.dabu.com. Roland and Cindy have also started a site at http://www.cindyandroland.dabu.com.

New footage from the Amazing Racist (aka Ari) on the DABU Videos website. These clips are from National Lampoon Presents Lost Reality (released September 28, 2004) and National Lampoon: Lost Reality 2 More (released May 24, 2005). You must have DIVX 6 and an AC3 Decoder to properly view and listen to the video clips. All 6 episodes of the Amazing Racist are up in their entirety. You can grab the 2 DVDs at your local Best Buy if you're interested in seeing what else is included besides the Amazing Racist. I have to say, Ari is freaking insane. DABU should definitely get some royalties for all the training we gave Ari back in college. Check out Ari's shirt in the Asian episode. Kai would love it.

Hoss and Darren are currently in the desert and enjoying the yearly event known only as Burning Man. We all wish them well and can't wait to here stories and see pictures. Next year we'll have to make it a full DABU clan trip.

DABU Parties has been getting a lot of hits from random people all due to the post on the Amazing Racist... a.k.a Ari. See what people have been saying about his stuff here: http://parties.dabu.com/1/1604_The_Amazing_Racist

Decided to create an additional site for all the DABU videos we've been putting together so that they're easier to find and not spread out through different blog entries. You can check out the videos at http://videos.dabu.com

Newest additions to the video collection includes clips from the latest episode of Minding the Store (with Ari Shaffir) and Mike's old personal dunking video.

I found a couple of sites that offer free online file storage space. If you're interested in watching Ari's (aka - The Amazing Racist) first appearance on "Minding the Store", you can download the video at http://www.savefile.com/files/6932089. Unfortunately, the video will automatically be deleted if there are no downloads within 14 consecutive days. If that happens, I'll repost. Also, if anybody is interested... here's a list of free online file hosting sites I've discovered:

• http://www.savefile.com - 60MB filesize limit
• http://www.sharemation.com/xythoswfs/ - 5MB storage quota
• http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc//home - 30MB storage quota
• http://www.putfile.com/ - 10MB video storage, 2MB Images

Apparently this website has been getting a lot of hits lately for people searching for The Amazing Racist. Pretty funny. I also used to have a video posted up from the same guy (our friend Ari Shaffir) on Pauly Shore's "Minding the Store". I used to store the video in my comcast account but forgot that I had to cancel that account when I moved to Florida. So that link is currently broken. Hopefully soon I can find some alternate storage area so I can re-post that link as well as future videos. Anybody have suggestions for some cheap online storage space?

Andreas came into the DC area and looks like he had a blast with the DABU crew. Rich posted up some very nice pictures on his website. I'm very jealous... wish I was there to party with you all! Sorry I missed ya Andreas, too bad you didn't vacation like a week earlier. -Mike

True Story: I'm finishing up my last day of work and I hear all of my co-workers in the far back laughing hysterically over some video they found on the Internet. An hour later my co-worker calls me over and says that I have to see this video. As soon as I see it I'm laughing so hard because it turns out to be our good friend Ari. I'm all explaining to my co-workers how he was trained very well in the International Dorm at College Park... which is where he tuned his Racism. This picture is from that video called Beaner. Basically Ari did a coulple of skits called the "Amazing Racist" which were filmed for the DVD "National Lampoon Presents Lost Reality". The DVD came out in 2004. A Part II was released in 2005. If you want to catch a preview, check out the following site: http://www.steaknbj.com/steaknbj/?p=60
