The Cap'n's Log

We've moved

Capnwacky.com is back from our hiatus, and all pretty and new. We're shutting down this particular version of The Cap'n's Log, though and moving to our new blog service over here. So, if you're reading this via a feed or somesuch, sorry about the inconvenience, and please join us at our new location.

thanks,
the Cap'n

Update

The new, improved capnwacky.com will return on February 15 with shiney new content, like a hilarious butterfly emerging from its comedy coccoon. Come on back then, won't you?

In the meantime, please enjoy our extensive backlog of comedic diversions, including our Valentine's section Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Love.

Strike out!

This week our writer strike comes to a shocking conclusion! The surprising return of an old friend! A startling announcement!

See you again soon! Check back in two weeks for an status update.

Holiday reruns

Sure, our writers are still on strike even though they are neither members of the WGA nor actually paid, so why not enjoy returning to Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Yule. Everyone likes the classics around the holidays anyway, right? Revisit The Gallery of Unfortunate Christmas Cards, Winthrop's Christmas, The Perfect Gift, and more!

Strike! Week 3

Well, Brodie is still on strike. He tried to call in sick on day this week and we had to explain to him that you don't get paid for sick days while you're on strike. Sad, really. Anyway, enjoy a rerun: Ode to the Chuckles in the Break Room Vending Machine.

Also, you can still vote for Thalia for a couple of days.

Send a Knox Sister to Broadway!

Thalia needs your votes! You'll remember Thalia Schramm from her starring role as Kitty Knox in The Knox Sisters' Mysteries. Now she needs your votes to win broadwayworld.com's Give Us Your Voice Competition. Whichever entrant gets the most votes will win a 3-day trip to New York to watch the new Little Mermaid Broadway show, and get to join the cast while they record the official show album.

You can watch Thalia's video and vote for her on this page. She's got Cap'n Wacky's official endorsement! Spread the word! Thanks!

Strike! Week 2

The writer strike continues here at capnwacky.com, thankfully, our writers are dumb enough to write about what they're up to while striking.

Next week is Thanksgiving, so strike or not we won't be updating, but you can still enjoy Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Gluttony, our Thanksgiving-themed section. Mmm, leftovers!

Plugs and stoppage

Before we get to this week's capnwacky.com update, a plug: This month on MySpace Dark Horse Presents:

"Tricks of the Trade" is an eight-page story drawn by Katie Cook and written by capnwacky.com co-founder Brodie H. Brockie. Sometime next year, this story will also be included in a real physical book you can pay real money for in a real bookstore. For now, though, YOU can read it for free!

Unfortunately, after this deal came through Brodie had a big head going into The Amalgamated Humor Writer Negotiaion.

Come back next week for... something?

Out of the magical closet

New today, about a week later than really would've been still timely: cheap jokes about Dumbledore being gay.

Their severed eyes slink silently back to their chamber to renew themselves once more

It's Hallowe'en time, the time when ghosts come out from their graves! This week, we interview four silent spirits out to consume the flesh of a gluttonous, round yellow man. It's An Interview with the Pac-Man Ghosts.

Also, get into the spirit by revisiting Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Evil featuring the Gallery of Unfortunate Halloween Cards, Host Writers, Halloween Time Tips and more!

-incoherent wheezing, coupled with pointing-

Please do not be alarmed.

Behind you is a list.

It is about ghosts.

If you just turn around, slowly, you should be okay and no face-eating or ripping-of-your-soul-out-of-your-body-through-your-eyes-and-nose is likely to occur.

"at least I didn't have to pay to see it!"

New this week:
Pulled-Quotes From Reviews Unlikely To Make You Want To Go See a Movie.

When mystery Knox, they answer

Meet Kitty and Eveylyn Knox, stars of The Knox Sisters Mysteries as they face their first puzzling challenge in The Unexpected Crust over on The Wacky Channel. Hope you enjoy it and look for the sisters to return in the future!

If you're craving more preppy mystery-facing, why not re-visit Titles of Forbidden Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.

We thought about calling it "Wackytube" but it doesn't quite sound right

OK we're back from summer break with an exciting announcement. Over on The Wacky Channel, we're announcing a new section of capnwacky.com: The Wacky Channel!. Go see the announcement in sound and moving picture!

And coming to the Wacky Channel next Friday:

one wedding, no funerals

Hi, everybody! Are you still there? Wow, so now we see what happens if the update blog isn't updated for a while... it goes blank!

Anyway, we're still alive. Capnwacky.com is still alive too, just taking an extra-long summer break this year. Co-founder Brodie Brockie got married earlier this year and we've haven't quite all recovered from all that yet. Soon, however, capnwacky.com will be back up and running with fresh new comedy ha has for you to enjoy.

In the meantime, why not take a peak at Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Matrimony?

Or maybe the saga of Team USA Banjo. It has nothing to do with getting married, we just really like it.
