Art Starter: Evin Donohoe

"When your friends all get drunk and start “quoting” the goats-screaming like-humans video at each other it quickly devolves into a room full of people cycling through screeching in each other’s faces and then breaking into hysterical laughter."

Describe yourself in exactly 140 characters (length of a tweet)? Aussie-American, politics & Survivor junkie w/ a Canadian temperament. Incurable optimist. Also #rollerderby #boardgames #poker #rock&roll

What's the best joke you've heard recently? I don't know about 'best joke', but when your friends all get drunk and start “quoting” the goats-screaming like-humans video at each other it quickly devolves into a room full of people cycling through screeching in each other's faces and then breaking into hysterical laughter. Also, you can't go past Shane Matheson's haunting rendition of the song Mango Hands.

And the worst joke? Stonnington Council in Melbourne calling their pool the Harold Holt Swimming Centre.

What's a dream you've had recently? a friend of mine had his arm cut off in a particularly rough game of laser tag. He stitched it back on himself and nonchalantly carried about his business; he didn't want to go to the hospital on account of the fact he was getting married later that day.

WHAT: Evin Donohoe: Game Changer Barack Obama & My Part in His Victory
