Right, so we’re back after a brief one-week hiatus due to an injury. I doubt I’ll get Dare 4 posted tomorrow, since I still have to film the remainder of it. The finale is already filmed, but needs to be put together.
As for the prizes, I’ll announce them all after the 5th dare is posted.
Who is today’s winner? Well, you’ll just have to watch and see. Heh.
By the way, sorry it’s not on Youtube. I won’t use them any more. Last video I tried to upload there, they stripped it of ALL THE AUDIO. So fuck ‘em.
For those having trouble, I recommend starting the video, then immediately hitting PAUSE to allow the video to buffer a while. Sorry. If there was a better video service, I’d use it.
If you STILL have trouble, go to the actual video page here:
Then scroll down to the bottom right and look for the grey Downloads bar, where you can download the video for yourself. Just know that it’s 62.5 MB and may take a while, depending on your Internet connection.

@Karen Sugarpants, Well, it’s hardly kid safe. I still say bad words. But maybe one day I’ll be able to do kid-friendly.
Heh, yeah, probably not.

Wow, there are some ANGRY people at WalMart. Which is probably why I don’t shop there anymore (oh yeh, and the whole crappy-reatment-of-employees, but anyway).
There’s something I find disturbing, I find, about mimes. Or about Karl as a mime. Is it the makeup? The funny little dance? I don’t know, but either way, thanks for the nightmares, man.
Nice job.

Angry mime is kinda cute… but almost creepy, like a pervy clown. I can’t make up my mind.
Loved the assholes, should invite them for supper and kick them in the box.

Personally, I like angry mime way better than polite mime. That was hysterical Karl. Oh my God, my sides hurt.

What did the humourless loser fuckwit assholes actually say to you? I couldn’t make it out on the video.
I might have to unleash some Canadian Fury™ on their asses.

@james, I can’t recall exactly. Couldn’t crank the audio enough to make it out. The man said something like, “I don’t want to be involved with whatever you’re doing.” Fair enough. Another woman said, “Don’t get me on camera” a little before that, which is fine.
But the WIFE (I assume it was the wife) said (after the husband), “If you don’t stop harassing me, I’m calling a lawyer and I’ll sue you.”
Then…and you CAN barely make this out if you crank your volume, “I’m calling the cops!”

YOU TELL HER!!!
I am impressed by how long it took for someone from your location to be offended by the camera.
Come to NYC, you won’t be noticed unless you are killed and start to smell!
Hehehe
DUDE, hooowwwwwww did you hurt yourself?!

@Poppy, Well, the dares are definitely ramping up a little more every year. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Didn’t expect it with THIS one, though.
And all will become apparent about the injury soon enough.

Wow. People up in da Walmarts be assholes yo.
How retarded are they?
::sigh::
Oh well.
If we get to vote for best birthday dare, I think I’m definitely gonna have to go with this one! Yay Karl!

I know the video troubles with YouTube very well. That’s why I self host my videos now, and use Vimeo, as well.
As for the mime, you rock, albeit silently.
As for the assholes that threatened to call the cops, who the fuck calls the cops on a silent greeter? And what’s the charge… disturbing the peace? Just what you said… “Fuck you bitch”

@martymankins, Self-host? I can’t afford the bandwidth for something like that. Not when all my videos are like 60 MB.
And thanks. Some people are really just that pathetic.

I find mimes to be pretty disturbing. Especially mimes that wear flip-flops with their black sweat suit. Maybe the asshole woman was going to call the fashion police.

@Bubblewench, Well, not really downtown. I had to take some artistic license. Downtown there’s NOTHING going on.

Great dare! And I find it hilarious that the walmart assholes seem to be the same the world over…that coulda been filmed here in ontario at the local walmart with the same results…some people just have no sense of haha!!

@cathy, I know. I had half a mind to follow them to their car and actually give them a REASON to sue me and/or call the cops.

Well, clearly you set yourself up for success by choosing the high quality artistic WalMart crowd.
I will gladly find the craptwat assholes, if you’d like and show them what a mime with PMS can do.
Also? I snorted.
Also? I might have to check, but I think I also may have peed myself.

@flutter, Peed yourself? Wow. I am not responsible for ruined undergarments. It’s in the small print.
Teeny print, really.

Hahaa! I can say without a doubt that this is the first and last time I’ll ever hear a mime say, “F*CK YOU, BITCH!” Which is quite sad, really. Well done, Karl! Happy birthday!

I find mimes a bit disturbing, but now maybe I can counteract that creepy feeling by following them around and asking, “Karl? Is that you, Karl?”
PS Congrats on not talking – wow.
