OMG this it so funny. I kept seeing you around Jins place so I figured I pop in to check you out. Love the movie so Dan is a troll he? How do you do the movies??????

Monkey said...

That is AWESOME! I laughed out loud several times, snorted and ejected spittle onto my monitor.

That is one dangerous Bipedal Hippo. I loved the look on your face when the two Jokers were played. Genius! Genius I tell you!

The funny thing is, we saw Casino Royale last week and besides the fact that it dragged in places, we enjoyed it immensely. I was thinking of doing a post with myself in the "Bondish Eye" holding a little squirt gun, but it didn't come out right. Damn my inferior skills.

Anyway... Bravo! Bravo!

Monkey said...

I just saw the Snow Patrol/JLee movie for the first time. Another triumph!

Have a good weekend Hippo!

concerned citizen said...

cr"ifla awesome, guys! I loved every little bit of it.

wallycrawler said...

Very good .

Loved it !

AndyW said...

I kept waiting for Ticharu to make an appearance...

Bathroom Hippo said...


Ah a break in the studying...

Dino - Thanks. Yes, Dan is a troll. I was particularly displeased when one day he visited me and everyone on my links and the next day a bunch of folks on my links added him...really pissed me off. How do I do the movies? Well...heh...that's a long story. I use Flash MX (it's not that simple)... I'll go into it further with you if you'd like?

Monkey - I'd be more than happy to do a movie for you in which you getta do the opening scene! I was thinking of doing a Monkey Island movie. Thanks for coming back! I'm a huge fan of your blog as well!

Lt- Thanks LT! The last part was my fav.

Wally- Hey! Your eyes blink now!

Andy - Ticharu in Australia? Heh. If I do a "Cooking with Ticharu" segment then you'll see more of him!

JLee said...

Great job Hippo!! But where are the Bond Girls??

be nice to Dan, he's a pretty nice guy...

Bathroom Hippo said...


OctoBob is a girl!

As for Dan...
you know how I feel about blog trolls.

Big Pissy said...

Bravo! Bravo!

This should be yet another win for you at Sundance. :)

Bathroom Hippo said...


Thanks BP!

I always wondered if there was a "Flashies Awards" but it would probably result in numerous arrests for nudity. Nobody wants that!

Gyrobo said...

I don't like asking for things... especially when you're so busy, and also a hippo... but a play/pause button would be AWESOME.

Now, to watch the thing!

Gyrobo said...

Having seen the whole thing, I can now make for un comment:

I have indeed flooded bathrooms before, both purposely and otherwise. And the card dealing is accurate.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Anything for you small fry.

Stan said...

encore, encore!

jin said...

EXCELLENT animation!
LOVE the soundtrack!
rich's cameo was DASHING!
(LOL @ Beerwah! :-)
Is Gyrobo that fuuny in the flesh, um...er...I mean tin?


But...I'm confused...
dan? a blog troll?
nah.......
he's a good guy!

wait...or is this a joke?
Cos the dan card saved the day by killing octobob...right?

Or should I just stop talking now...
:-S

Bathroom Hippo said...


Hey Jin-ster,

To answer your questions:

1) Never actually met Gyrobo before...so dunno. He used to comment frequently on an old political blog of mine...so I know his style.

2) As for Dan...I just hate the guy. One day I get on and see that he's commented not only on my blog but on every single one of my friends' blogs. That's trolling...and it saddens me.

3) It was a serious joke.

4) That's debateable!

Don't leave me Jin! Make me a cake!

arthbard said...

Nice. But a Bond credit sequence just isn't a Bond credit sequence without a bunch of naked lady silhouettes ... Well, okay ... There was Octobob.

Bathroom Hippo said...


This isn't a nudy channel!

Anonymous said...

Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for stopping by. If you don't mind, I would love to link you.
BTW, I enjoyed the comment you left at my place on that jerk BBC. I am not surprised he threated your friend. He is PERMANENTLY BANNED from my blogs, and I just had enough of him calling me EVERY evil thing you can imagine.
Please stop by often. I enjoyed your comment.
VERY NICE BLOG you have here. I will be back often.

Bathroom Hippo said...


I don't mind if you link me. Thanks for asking! I'm sure we would disagree on most things politically...so just a warning!

I'm glad you've seen through BBC...I knew that guy was trouble...I just wish a few of my fellow bloggers would have seen it before.

Ticharu said...

OMG Octobob isn't a girl Hippo my friend, girls have round parts AND curvy parts!!!

Funny stuff though, I must say!

I felt kinda bad for the alligator who got blowed up at the end... poor thing.

Cooking with Ticharu has possibilities now that you/Andy mention it...

flatlander said...

Here's a pitch: giant monster rises from deep, stubs toe on coastal city, flies into rage and devestates countryside, returns to deep sea lair to write about it on blog.

It's an oldie, but a goodie!

Anonymous said...

The pix has been updated. OMFG.

Arcturus said...

Uh ... okay ... your mind works in a very strange way. By the way, Bathroom Hippo needs to go up a pants size or two... he's looked kinda cramped and uncomfortable in his outfit.

Dino said...

hey I just tried to add you to my reader but it wouldn't let me! Mhh as for trolls they can be kind a cute. Just look at it as a compliment he likes your taste in friends. So am I a troll too I checked out some of your friends and I found you through Jin???? Please I'll try to be better ... I'll even link you if thats okay??? :)

Bathroom Hippo said...


Tich - I'm pretty sure Octobob is a girl. She has parts I don't have.

Flatlander - I think it's been done before...well something similar...by Rich of G3TFilms...
I could do a fakiegrind movie...but I'd have to have more time.

Hill - Haha. That's editted?? I thought it was real!

Arc - You needa go up a pantsize! Okay..so I don't have any good comebacks. You're gay! How's that? Lol. Why'd you bail out your dad?

Dino - I think I disabled reader options...mostly cuz this blog is a MOVIE BLOG! It's perfectly acceptable to go to 1 or 2 links and comment on them...but 3 or more requires that I be informed or asked (as a nice gesture) then you'd be doing it nicely and not be a troll.

Dan's just a f***wad that I've caught trolling on several occassions (not just with my friends).

A real life example of a troll would be making a friend, stealing his address book, and calling all of his friends over to hang out.
It's extremely rude.

jin said...

New Movie Idea:

fade in:
a hippo sitting in a tiny room at a pc typing away crazily "tap tap tap tap tap tap"

hippo: "I need to work faster...these people won't leave me ALONE!"

cut to:
hundreds of blogfans all over the world huddled in front of their monitors...staring blankly at "the thing he does".

anonymous blogger #1 "Where's his new film?!"

anonymous blogger #2 "I'm sure he said it'd be ready today!"

anonymous blogger #3 "I need something to watch!"

cut back to:
hippo tap tap tapping away, ignoring his studies, ignoring his family, ignoring his friends, ignoring his hunger...

hippo: "I'm ignoring my studies! I'm ignoring my family! I'm ignoring my friends! I'm soooo hungry! WHY WHY WHY?!!!?"

a moment of silence passes with hippo's head lowered into his hands...

hippo: "For LOVE of Blogging"

fade to black.....

Bathroom Hippo said...


Finally somebody understands how I feel!

G3T Films said...

Excellent, well, except for that guy playing Steve.

What's an Octobob?

J.D. said...

Cool movie :)

So when are you interviewing me?

Dino said...

hey I kinda like Jins idea for the movie. Hell we all know that feeling!!!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Rich - Yeah...we fired that bastard. Octobob is a character based on Destructobob (a real Roboshrub Inc. character that hardly ever blogs anymore). I made a movie (in the summer) which was the prequel to this... I developed Octobob from the Bond character Octopussy.

JD - You've been awol for like over 2 months!

Dino - I'll consider adding you this week. #1. You're not politically motivated, #2. Your avatar is easy to draw and implement. #3. Your nice to everyone (even if I'm mean).

Arcturus said...

How about me?

No, I didn't bail him out though I (well, my friend) may in a day or two. And my pants size is fine -- a 33 - 33 (I could do 32 - 32 but I like baggy clothes) for my svelte 150 lbs. Oh, and the methane gas comment was really, well, unnecessary ...

Shaketownman said...

Hippo - you're so cool!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Arc - I'm from Earth...you're from...DC.

Frog - Thanks frogster. I used to want to be an amphibiologist but then reality set in and now I'm gonna be a Computer Systems Analyst. But I love frogs! I had tons of frogs as pets! I used to have a bullfrog that could have set the world record for distance.

Anonymous said...

I'm sure you've been told hundreds of times, but this is a cool blog. Love it!

Ticharu said...

I spent an hour talking to a JW this fall. It was FUN! I told him God was computer with a virus...

You are great!
I haven't felt much like blogging lately, but I miss you Sweet Hippo.
I had to come see you!
~xo

His Majesty said...

Who among us hasn't turned someone in to the FBI?

concerned citizen said...

you do have an onery streak, don't you?

SafeTinspector said...

Yay! I'm still in the link list! Want any help with Christmas Special?

Anonymous said...

Just testing a new Google gmail account for Blogger posting.

Blogger is a pain in my ass.

Also, Bathroom Hippo, no worries about everything, at least from my DC end of it.

Arcturus said...

Sorry, BH ... I was testing as I switched to the new Beta blogger. The prev. Arcturus doesn't work and I just wanted to see if this one does. I understand if you delete these messages. I didn't mean to use your comment section for this kind of troubleshooting.

Ripple said...

There goes 3 minute of my life that I'll never get back again....

G3T Films said...

Hey! I wasn't fired. I was beaten with foam bats until I left.

Mentok said...

What's up with blogger these days? Some sites aren't allowing comments from blogger accounts, only Gmail accounts.

Anyway, like Arcturus, I've got this work around now.

Funny film, as always. I would have liked to have heard Steve Irwin say "This little fella doesn't know we're trying to help him." That to me was always his classic line.

AndyW said...

FIRE!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Woah!

I missed a lot of comments. Beta blogger has been a pain in the ass this week...

Anyway... I'll be coming around your blogs on Sunday night. Been havin' tons of fun.

Anonymous said...

Get your hinny back here. We miss you. Oh, and congrats on the degree!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gyrobo said...

I'd just typed "congrats on the degree!" when I say someone wrote the exact same thing. What's it in?

Gyrobo said...

Oh, and it looks like Salbert is gone again. Pity, he was a good addition to the blogosphere.

G3T Films said...

Congratulations on finishing your degree B-Hip. Now, get a job! ;)

Arcturus said...

You go partying? I wonder if you'd be fun to go drinking with ... ever done an Irish car bomb shot?

Oh, yes, congrats on finishing your degree. If I can offer a word of caution, though ... and related to Rich/G3T film's comment ... I have, like, 15 degrees now and I'm still stuck in perpetual student-hood/unemployment-a-tude. Just sayin'...

Bathroom Hippo said...


I've really been neglecting my blogging responsibilities...

HCG - Thanks...I'm still celebrating!

Gyr - This one is in General Studies...just so I can lock it in...in a few years I'll have a Bachelors in Information Systems.

Salbert...well...I miss when he was an active blogger.

Rich - I still got some more college to finish..

Arc - How many times did you change your major??

Big Pissy said...

Hi, Hippo!

I miss you..... :(

You don't have to do another film to post, you know.

We love you anyway.

~Pissy

Lee Ann said...

I know....
Hey sweet Hippo!

Arcturus said...

Actually, when I was in a degree program, I always finished it.
Rather, it was the 'career' part that changed: meteorology to journalism/science. Now I'm in a grad program. So I guess you could say three times. This one is by far the best and most promising, no contest.

Oh, by the way:

Bathroom Hippo said...



Thanks Pissy! I may do one more...then I dunno... freedom is a wonderful thing...I don't know if I can go back...

Hey Lee Ann! I see you're back? It's like you're feeling the same as I am about this whole blogging thing?

Arc- That's one crazy ass dream. I would NEVER EVER work in California. I hate that State.

Gyrobo said...

One year from now, I'll have a degree in computer science. And I'm never taking more than 15 credits per semester again.

Lee Ann said...

Yes, I am forcing it a bit....I think I will take a blogging vacation after Christmas. Come visit me until then...and I will come back after the vacation.
I miss you.

concerned citizen said...

I'm for whatever makes you happy.

& there is something to be said for quitting while you are ahead. :)

Arcturus said...

B-Hip:

Could you please answer a question for me? It has to do with a comment you posted in my entry "The Burnt Out Ends of Smoky Days." It is a sort of strange question but it's baffling me.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Gyro - I once took 16 credit hours one Semester (we're on semesters) and boy I hated it. Do you go to school during summers? I'm only half way...but I may intern next year.

Lee Ann - Don't mention vacations... I'm just stressed out, school beat the hell out of me...I really don't want to come back for like another month. Making movies is...well...I'm not a freaking Animator..I'm a Computer Systems Analyst! I'll try to make my rounds today.

LT - Yes...quitting while I'm ahead does sound nice...I guess we'll see what happens.

Arc - It was beta. I wondered the same thing myself.

G3T Films said...

Hope things are well with you B-Hip.

There's a video of Monkeys rocket launch on my site.

Gyrobo said...

I took one summer course this year. It was all right, I might take one next summer.

Gyrobo said...

Also, I just updated Encryptor. You can now select/select and copy the text directly from the gray box, depending on what browser you use.

J.D. said...

You can't quit before interviewing me :)

Library Mama said...

Hi Hip - I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to go back. I'm so busy that when I do have down time, I need to veg - no energy for creativity.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I'll send a real holiday card soon - once school is out.

Take care....

flatlander said...

You've got a real panopoly of comments going on here, Hippo.

Let me jump into the frey, just to say
have a merry Xmas day!

Gyrobo said...

Merry Merry.
