One question I hear more than any other is What's a Fuzzball??" Allow me to explain:
A Fuzzball is a 30-year-old fallen debutante who lives in Houston, TX with a bossy dog and an even bossier parrot who she SWEARS is the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
A Fuzzball prefers animals to most people, because people can really suck sometimes.
A Fuzzball loves music, ALL music ALL of the time. If she's not listening to it, then she's singing it.
A Fuzzball has a mad love for all things British, especially their actors.
A Fuzzball is blissfully happy in a bookstore, preferably one with good music playing in the background. If you look under a Fuzzball's bed you'll usually find an entire library of books that she has dropped there after falling asleep reading.
Fuzzballs are usually incurable romantics, ridiculously optimistic, and bent on making the world a happier place.
Your typical Fuzzball will probably have a completely bizarre sense of humor. Just go with it, it will take you to funny places.
You should also be aware that Fuzzballs are giant nerds. Seriously. Science fiction, computers, the whole shebang.
Fuzzballs are also budding photographers. They love looking at the world through a lens and finding new ways to be creative.
Oh...and you can also look for a Fuzzball in one of the best movies ever made. ;)
They even have trophies for that cup stacking thing. I'm all for making cup stacking a sport if there is a need for trophies ;-)

The State was the first thing I thought of when I saw that digital short, too. :)

I saw a news story about the cup-stacking thing at least a year ago. The video was amazing in a novelty one-trick-pony sort of way. But I have to wonder about the mental health of someone who devotes themselves to this "sport". Seems like it'd be great for someone with OCD.
The Strom Thurmond-Al Sharpton story is proof that real life is stranger than fiction. I'd like to see this story as a sci-fi mini series with lots of time travel. ;-)

I am bummed he is not alive for this little bit of funny as well. Of course, he would have been proud or something.
Yeah, I have seen the cup stacking and I am not sure what to say on that one.
