Hangnail of the Yankees
A musical jaunt making fun of my least favorite Yankee of all time, Carl Pavano. This thing actually got picked up by SportsIllustrated.com as their “Video of the Day.”

1/31/07: Never Forget
This was the video that started it all. We had never done such a thing before, but Greg, Storey and I decided that this crazy event had to be memorialized somehow. And probably not by ranting about it on our podcast. Thus, a genre was born; the Mep Video Montage (TM). Given that we had no recording equipment, the montage had to consist of found stills from the internet, with some Photoshopping alterations.
This video made its internet rounds, being referenced in the Boston Globe, and showing up on the front page of BoingBoing.
