Welcome to The Parody Files!

The Parody Files is is the online funhouse of five of the funniest bloggers on the interwebs, where we share our penchant for making fun of the odd and stupid things in this world with our laugh-friendly readers. Your consortium of cackling, comical conveyors of high-quality hooey are:

Oliver Clozoff, Editor-In-Chief

Oliver Clozoff is the former chief technologist at Stinker Industries. He is the anonymous, pseudonymous, and synonymous author of numerous emails, blog entries, grocery lists, and Usenet posts, and previously served as executive editor of Time Traveler’s Next-Weekly Journal. Through the use of Stinker Industries’ patented and highly proprietary time travel technology, he discovered that he was destined to make a fortune by starting The Parody Files, so he did. Dr. Clozoff holds degrees in aerospace engineering, applied physics, and women’s studies with a minor in creative dance (should never have attended that all-night kegger at Umlaut Umlaut Phi the night before course registration).

nonamedufus

nonamedufus is an anonymous boomer – generational and, at his age, sometimes indigestional – with a cynical eye on politics, pop culture and life. He’s been sharing his pithy – that’s with a “t” and an “h” – perceptions on the interwebs for close to three years now at nonamedufus. He’s got some thoughts on rock and roll at dufusdownbeat and likes to poke fun at politics at Slings and Arrows. nonamedufus is bilingual, speaking fluent American and Canadian, eh.

Derek the Intern

Derek the Intern is currently residing in the deep, dark, subteranean recesses of his mother’s basement. Currently (un)employed as a music teacher, his best friends are his computer and his video editing suite. He specializes in poking fun at music videos (as can be seen at AudibleUnderwear.com) but when not cheap-plugging AudibleUnderwear.com, he also produces content revolving around his interests: music (well, duh), movies, wrasslin’, and even SCIENCE! He is a closeted gourmand whose favorite breakfast is fruit-filled crepes. Derek’s goal is to represent all stripes of nerds and geeks here at The Parody Files, while also developing exciting new acronyms.

*To execute Derek’s special move MEGA SNARK VS GIANT OCTOPUS, hold down L and R and press Forward, Down, and Punch.

Liam James Leaven

Liam James Leaven is the name of a computer program that travels through the ethereal Space of Cyber, posting random musings at binary will at such think tanks and thought gathering grounds as The Parody Files and The Humor Books Blog. Recently, in a flash of Avatar-esque genius, Liam James Leaven’s programmer recruited a goofy looking bloke to hook a motherboard and WiFi connection to his brain and be Liam James Leaven’s tactile connection to the real world.

While Liam James Leaven leaps from WiFi to cable modem to Ethernet connection, leaving a trail of woeful ruminations in his path, his avatar travels the streets, roads, paths and alleyways of the world, peddling hard copies of the program’s RNG-generated musings. Together, Liam James Leaven and his avatar hope to one day conquer the world, take all the stuff, recede to their compound and build a big fence.

Liam James Leaven sometimes hangs out at the sub-cyberspace station Liam James Leaven Dot Com. You can click here to sample or purchase a hard or virtual copy of one of his musings, On the Origins of Joy Boy’s Chasm.

Ashley Garmany

Ashley is a mid-twentysomething, currently going through a quarter-life crisis that involves shopping at teenage clothing stores, going to Miley Cyrus concerts and longing for the days when playing a 1 a.m. game of beer pong on a Tuesday night was not frowned upon. For five years now, she’s been chronicling the trials and tribulations of her failed attempts at life and love, and her ongoing battle for Christian Bale’s heart (restraining order, schmerstraining order) at her blog, twentyoneofseven.blogspot.com. Now, post-college, she continues with tales of life in the corporate world, the realization that it might be time to begin some sort of anti-aging wrinkle regime and the soul crushing sight of watching all of her closest friends get married and have babies while she continues to go on bad date after bad date and has started thinking that maybe joining a convent might be her next best option in life. However, she remains optimistic. Or at least that’s what she tells herself every night while she falls asleep spooning her own pillow.
