Charlie covering his ears
Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“Did you hear that all these kids were rescued in Chile after being trapped in some mountain?” Miners, not minors.

    The excitement I experienced when over hearing this was something special.

    • Betsy says:

      This has to be the fastest they have ever been aware of an international event. Are you blaring the volume when you watch the news?

  2. Amy says:

    It’s kind of a pied piper image, kids trapped in a mountain… I can see where they’re coming from. Nonetheless, that’s fantastic. SO funny.

  3. brenda says:

    Charlie, did you direct a short film called “Bye Bye Benjamin”? It just came out on my iTunes recommendations and it said “Directed by Charlie McDowell” and I was like “Whaaaa??” ahahhaha

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      Yep, that’s a short a directed!

      • brenda says:

        Well judging by the trailer it looks very funny. I shall buy!

      • Charlie McDowell says:

        Thanks! Would love to know what you think.

      • Jacqui says:

        wait….you are Malcolm McDowell’s kid?!

      • Jena says:

        Just watched,… whoa! Well done all around! Benjamin was excellent! Now off to find your other ones!

      • Charlie McDowell says:

        Jacqui, yes. Jena, thanks so much for downloading my film! I’m glad you liked it.

      • robot says:

        Isn’t it great!? I saw it earlier this summer and it couldn’t have come into my life at a more perfect moment. As for other work, don’t stop looking until you have seen the green underpants and heard the song about snakes.

      • Taylor D says:

        Yeah to everyone who’s interested I would highly recommend going to itunes and downloading Bye Bye Benjamin,I’ve seen it and it is a really great short film. Then go to funnyordie.com and look for Eli and Charlie, because you will laugh your a** off:)

  11. Taylor D says:

    I just saw on twitter that this was picked as one of it’s top tweets! Really cool

    • Alexis says:

      What do you mean? How do you see this?

      • Taylor D says:

        Well when you first go to twitter the page you first see to sign in displays top tweets. Apparently it’s a twitter account by twitter that picks the most interesting tweets and retweets them, you can go to it if you click view all. I just thought it was cool to see that it picked today’s DGAM tweet and displayed it.

  12. Naiha C. says:

    I think you’re hilarious (: I found your site todayy, and I’m so very sorry, you have to put up with these girls. ^^

  13. Jalele says:

    Did the kids sing “heigh ho” on their way home, too? Maybe they think miners are dwarfs!
    Hilarious, as always.

    Greetings from a Chilean fan!

  14. caroline says:

    HAHAHA i love this, made my day ten times better.

  15. Melissa says:

    So funny. I had a similar experience yesterday… with one of my 8th grade students.

    Izak: So, why do they keep calling them minors? Why don’t they call them kids.
    Me: They work in a mine. They are miners. M-I-N-E-R-S not O-R-S. 33 men were working in the mines and the entrance collapsed and they’ve been trapped underground for 70 days, and last night they started to pull the men out.
    Izak: Oh. I know what you mean now. Like that Sandra Bullock movie with Bradley Cooper and she fell in that hole.
    Me: No Izak. Not like that movie. That movie was stupid.

    Charlie, you’re my hero.

  17. Shannon says:

    They are trying at least. You have to give them that. You are probably so proud. :)

  18. Carrie says:

    Haha a friend of mine made the same mistake this morning when we were having a class discussion about this… “Who cares about some stupid teens who got themselves stuck underground?”

  19. Megan says:

    Now I feel kinda dumb for thinking the same thing when I heard about it.

  20. cheyenne says:

    Charlie,I feel like you were probably just waiting for one of them to say something like this. One of their finer moments

  21. Christa says:

    When I first heard that 33 miners were trapped, I at first thought it was a group of kids. Then I saw the spelling on a news report and realized my mistake.

    But hey! At least they’re…semi-close!

  22. mike says:

    Just think of those poor pepper children stuck underground

    May 25th has always been my favorite comment but this one definitely surpasses it!

    I really, really hope that was a Galaxy Quest quote. It was perfect.

  26. I was just chatting with my friend about this yesterday at lunch . Don’t remember how we landed on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do remember having a excellent chicken salad with cranberries on it. I digress…

  27. John Exhaust says:

    Hmmm thanks for this not interesting post. But I still do not get the last part though!

  28. Lisa Muffler says:

    Hmmm this post is not really interesting. Can you reply me any related articles?

  29. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  40. I think she is the greatest actress out there! Not only is she drop dead gorgeous but she is also down to earth. She is indeed an american sweetheart with her girl next door appeal and witty sense of humor! Unfortunatly, my collection of sandra bullock movies was stolen from my apt. this past saturday…which really sucks because i watch her movies on a daily basis!

  52. The teardrop micro sling bikini is another style that is considered to be an extreme bikini. You’ll find that the teardrops only cover the bare minimum, and the small patches are connected by beads and spaghetti straps. You need an amazing body to pull this one off, and you probably won’t want to wear it in the water.

  53. I’m stunned this I kind of decline this unsubstantial brainstorm.
