It'd be cool if you didn't turn every thread into a "look at me" thread with your nonsense.

DrugS did a good job. It's okay to acknowledge that without trying to make this all about you.

i'll watch a drugs youtube channel regardless but i'm an npr/pbs dork.

if he wants to target a larger audience i think he needs snookie regardless of what a drama queen she is.

he'll nail the 45-65 demographic with his sensible but overlooked insight's. if he wants it to be a show people his own age watch, he'll need dick jokes. or drama.

he needs snookie.

What I said was true and you know it. Here's a thought...take forever off. No one would care.

i understand why you feel this way but that's going to leave drugs with nothing but dick jokes.

Doug, very nice job and very cool too. I'm with MMSC. You're fairly easy on the eyes.

99% assumes that at least 100 people will be watching.

I would have bet on about 8 people -- with my girlfriend being my most loyal viewer.

I'm laying in bed talking into a laptop when I do it. It's not like I'm well dressed and well groomed all the time.

Watching me would distract from what I say. Being able to see videos, pictures, charts and forms would make my points come across a lot better.

Until I get Snookie, anyway.

steve once (long ago) pm'd me explaining why one of the charecter's i loved from espn and bloodhorse wasn't actually as funny to deal with as a content provider vs. my point of view as a comedy consumer.

but rht seems fairly harmless. he's not threatening people. he's not aware of how he comes across in a way that people love. we can all feel so superior.

i think you're missing an opportunity.

Also, his young age might lead people to not take him seriously, something he had expressed to me in the past.

Thirdly, mystery can be a good thing.
First off, are you deaf? (Or rather, blind)...

Second... I have no idea how to do multiple posts so this takes me a long time so stop it!

Third..... 99%? Really? I don't agree. I'd say 70 to 30 percent guy to girl ratio for any handicapping-related thingie.

... and the age thing works in his favor, believe it or not.

(I think so anyway).

... and now you, Sir...

Look... no one is saying put on a top hat and tails here. Look how you always look (when you're not in bed) and it will be fine.

(Yeah yeah I've thought of the broadcast from bed thing too but you won't be taken seriously so don't).

Watching you would NOT be distracting. Keep cutting to these things.

We need to see a human being though.

If it weren't you, if it weren't anyone here and I clicked on the link I'd immediately go to something else cause i don't want to be smacked across the face with a block of text when I'm searching for some kind of insight. It's a little reminiscent of audio visual club from a 50s movie...

At least open with a race if nothing else!

Again I am not insulting you here... I want this to succeed. I just prefer to have a face to attach the voice to.

I'm sure you will get a large following in less time than you expect. As long as you don't lose it, like you did with your Saratoga tout service (what was it called again? Woptrips, or something like that), you'll do fine.

If there are two things you can do in life, one would be to analyze horse racing like few people can.
