A Look Back: Commissioned Work for TBTL Newsletter and FUBL

September 17, 2015 December 26, 2016

Back on August 6th, Andrew posted a request on the sTens group on Facebook requesting help with the creation of an image for the TBTL weekly newsletter. I virtually raised my hand and Andrew gave me the assignment of creating an image of Luke and Andrew standing behind podiums, debate-style. Also, the use of the Luke (aka “Johnny) and Andrew (aka “Bobo”) dolls would be perfectly fine. Also, attribution would be included in the newsletter.

So, I started to scrounge around for very high-resolution images of podiums and a stage, and found a set that I really liked. Since I didn’t have any clean images of Luke or Andrew standing, I opted to use the dolls that I got from the TBTL-a-Thon and did an impromptu shoot of them at home.

I spent a bit of time cleaning up the photos of the dolls and started putting all of the pieces together. After about an hour or so, I had basically a final draft and sent it over to Andrew for approval. Once I got the thumbs up, I finalized the image and sent it over.

When the TBTL newsletter was sent out on August 7th, I took a look at it and found that there was no attribution to the image and started to steam up a little bit. Andrew messaged me later in the day saying that the captions for the photos got removed by the editor and that he’ll make up the mishap. A little bit later, Andrew posted an image showing that the draft of the newsletter he submitted had the captions and provided attribution to the photo. All was good in the world…

That is, until I listened to that night’s show, TBTL #1921, when Andrew started to talk about the newsletter (at around the 10 minute mark) and then mentioned the newsletter image and mentioned me as an attribution and thanks.

That also lead to Luke creating the acronym “FUBL”, which stands for “For Us By Linh”.

Marsupial Gurgle Gets Name Dropped on TBTL #1949

September 17, 2015 December 14, 2016

In the latter parts of TBTL #1949, Luke starts reading a plot summary posted on IMDB for the movie “Ladyhawke”; which, leads both Luke and Andrew down a rabbit hole where they start looking at what other plot summaries one or two people have spent time writing. The conversation eventually leads into people spending time creating or writing about what they heavily interested and invested it.

That lead to Andrew bringing up the Marsupial Gurgle and, subsequently, Luke reading one of my tweets about the length of TBTL #1947:

In reading the tweet, Luke dropped the word “late” and kind of changed the take on the tweet.

The following is the clip of Andrew and Luke talking about Marsupial Gurgle.
