Comedy Open Mic Round 33 entry: How I pranked my wife at the altar

_{Images property of @ddrfr33k}

What's the worst thing a groom could do on his wedding day? Steal the show from his bride in every way possible? With his hooligan of buddies disguised as grooms men, misplace the bride's wedding band? Tough question, but luckily you can't get it wrong about Ddrfr33's.

Today's showcase post features two "agonizing" love stories, and I will start with the happier one. "Ddrfr33" is a prankster, and won't hesitate to pull his cards when the stakes are at their highest. That's what this post is about. I won't spoil it for you, because I want you to read the escapades of this hippie. LOL.

Read it here! You will regret skipping this awesomeness.

A Crooked Love Story: Comedyopenmic 33 second entry

Now to the one I can issue every disparaging remark about and still be considered kind. LOL. What's worse than Lex Steele (hey! that hyperlink is NSFW)ever having to meet your woman, for business? Absolutely NOTHING! That's the worst 11-inches piece of flesh and cartilage (read, penis) that could make its way into your bedroom.

Couple have a hard time financially; couple stumble on an idea that would change their lives for the better... and then for worse. When I read this one I couldn't fight off that image of Kendrick Lamar's Lucy. "Lucy gone fill your pockets, Lucy gone move your mama... inside the gi-gantic mansion." Then Lucy gone ask your girlfriend to two-time that beast from hell, rightly named Steele. Again, no spoilers. Another brilliant entry to the Comedy Openmic.

What's really sad about all these? We really can't tell if this is fiction, or if @belemo had to be subjected to this pain. Dude, did you?

TOM PETTY | Here Comes My Girl.. on CELLO

Like clean water to rinse your face (after the first two insanity, haha), I share this musical masterpiece by @vesislava — a cello cover of Tom Perry's classic, Here Comes My Girl. This wholesome rearrangement of the classic is dreamy and romantic. Just close your eyes and listen while you sip in the atmosphere created by Vesi's awesome tune.

The original post is here.

Ever wondered what the Director's role is as relates to film and TV production? Worry no more, Nina's got you covered. In this part of her series of film-rated vlogs she digs deeper into the role of the Director.

"Conceptually, the Director’s role is to lead the creative and technical vision of the film."

Nina, pseudonym-ed Derosnec, goes further to discus the creative lead of a Director, his/her performance, and responsibility towards making a movie project come through.

Nina is a filmmaker and musician, and owns an independent production company in Los Angeles.

Go check out her blog for lots of film-related topics.

Part of the awesomeness of Steem(it) lies in the array of amazing creators (artists, designers, cooks, filmmakers) who offer us the rare privilege of the behind-the-hood of their works, through step-by-step guides, BTS and process posts. This in-depth post by @bflanagin is no exception.

The project this time is a "spooky" jack-o'-lantern, a 3D printable one. The author uses Blender for the design task, and the post walks readers through the nifty details of this fun project, in a way that holds value for the design professional and enthusiast alike.

If you are not one to sit through the tedious process, but would fancy printing this lantern, Benjamin offers a free downloadable STL file of the final work, for your printing pleasure. Ben describes himself as a developer and an artist.

Dive into Benjamin's tutorial post.

Lastly, I invite you to sit back and take in the views of Kaweah Range of the High Sierra trail, in this 13-day "peak bagging journey" by Derek and friend, Rogue. Derek details the adventure in scintillating fashion, sharing those romantic peaks, valleys and blue skies, in crisp high definition pictures. It's an exhaustive adventure, and Derek takes you all the way to the summit.

Derek's bio describes him as a "Hiker, Mountaineer, Wilderness tour guide, Gold Prospector, Rock Hound, Gardener, Chef, Musician, Artist," and he blogs his music and travels.
