About BTY
BathTubYoga is a blog. And a videoblog. Get it? Mark and Henry have just moved from London to New York City, where they are trying to live the dream as professional bloggers. BathTubYoga is their blog -- it's about social life on the Internet and the new technology that's become a part of our lives. Read what Mark and Henry have to say, every day, and then watch eps about them a few times a week.

A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

From ep#9, "the IM"...
SARAH
Hi
Back in the moment- Sarah and Henry sit on the couch, while Mark sits at his computer.
SARAH
Sorry I barged in on you all like this. I think there's this pervert stalking me, and I left my apartment and ran upstairs and then you guys were here. Would it be OK if I hung out here for a while?
MARK and HENRY
Yeah, sure.
HENRY
Well, we're professional bloggers.
SARAH
Oh, really? That's great.
HENRY
www.BathTubYoga.com, you heard of it?
SARAH
Um, no, sorry.
HENRY
So... what do you do?
SARAH
I'm an ebay day trader. Buy, sell, buy, sell, you know.
MARK
And you live downstairs...
SARAH
How do you know that?
MARK
Because you said you just came upstairs, right?
SARAH
Oh, yeah. I'm a forgetty.
MARK
What?
SARAH
A forgetty. I forget things. I'm a person who forgets things.
HENRY
Well, tell us a little bit about yourself. Something, you know, romantic, tragic, personal.
SARAH
Well, my father died in the challenger accident.
MARK
The space shuttle?
SARAH
Yeah, he died trying to reach the stars.
HENRY
Well that is beautiful.
MARK
What was his name?
SARAH
John.
Mark pulls up the Challenger website on his computer.
MARK
Oh, that's odd, there's no John on this site. There is a Ron, though.
SARAH
Yeah, that was him, his name was Ronald, but we called him Jon.
HENRY
That's pretty common I think.
Henry scoots over and puts his arms around Sarah.
HENRY
Isn't she great, Mark
Mark pulls up a picture of Ronald McNair on his browser. The picture is of a black astronaut.
MARK
Mmm, great.

My favorite parts were the attractive man on the couch,the crazy little blonde girl, and the fact that the father she lied about was obviously of african-american descent. i hearts bathtubyoga.

Crazy little blonde girl, sure, but who needs porn when there's a crazy pervert stalker lurking around on the screen?

I heard a rumor that the girl in this episode's mother, after viewing it, said "umm, I think your top should have been lower...and if you were wearing a cute little skirt that might be good too." My first thought was "yay!" Bathtubyoga -- making parents think about flesh-peddling their daughters since 2005. :)
