Update
I can't remember the last time I was inspired to post something other than a quick link to something I found funny, so I'm gonna attempt to write something more interesting than "oh, here's a video of a guy twatting a squirrel in the spine".
I've been trying to come up with some funny shit for my twitter and facebook statuses. Currently it reads "I'm gonna do you like I do lunch: covered in ranch and over in a flash". I think I did pretty well, but this is one of those rare occasions when I actually have my humourpants on.
Inspiration for these things is hard to come by, whereas when I'm trying to write songs the opposite happens. No matter how serious I try to make the lyrics, it always ends up being stupid. Ok, not necessarily funny, but my lyrics certainly won't be found in that there new fangled download hit parade.
I find the best way to manufacture inspirado is to imagine I'm a drunk from America's deep south (as opposed to a drunk from England's deep southwest). Like the guy in the news recently that put a few shotgun rounds into his lawnmower 'cause it wouldn't work. That's comedy genius right there, and I love getting into that mindset. Honchie help with this, too. They're funny as fuck and if you haven't seen or heard any of their stuff, I suggest you go do so right now.
Anyway, what do you fuckers do for inspiration? Do you go somewhere special? Do you listen to certain music or watch a film? Do you masturbate until you pass out and the house reeks of spunk? Or do you wait until inspiration finds you?

I tell you what I do for inspiration nubcake! I tell you what I do. You know what? I tell you what I do! I tell you! To get inspiration i need some sort of image, like a drawing or a photo or a film, or I can go for a walk and see something that inspires me. Can pretty much be ANYTHING. Hm. Actually. Books, music and people also inspire me. So just nevermind about the image shit - it's true, but not accurate.
It is I tell, you it is incredibly far from rocket science, but sometimes it has a pi in it!!!!1
Taking a walk, lots of inspiration from that. Very true actually. Give it a try. Not taking a walk TO anything, just a walk which ends where you started.
(the clue is to let your thoughts drift and just think about anything that comes into mind, this is often easier when taking a useless walk, and going outside seeing stuff gives you some br41n-inputz)
Tricksy tricksy, true inspirado sure as Christmas doesn't seem to be about when you need it, seems to me you kind of need to be kind of not worrying about stuff too much so you can just focus on being awesome. With that in mind the best way to manufacture inspirado is to become a lazy ass student.
I agree. Lazy student, good idea. And then, you get drunk.
I always get very good ideas when I'm drunk
I always *think* I have good ideas when I'm drunk. However, I have learned that the ideas usually aren't that good.
For example, standing in the middle of the road, half naked, shouting at busses in the rain. That wasn't a good idea.
Neither was frog tennis.
Or the Vietnam War. How many glasses did you have that night?
