Turns out it’s not true in it’s entirety, the thief was not seriously injured, but it’s still funny.

Seriously, if you haven’t watched them yet, please do.

Thanks to Pandarr’s request on Reddit, the Old Spice Guy responded with the isolated audio to create your answering machine message. I threw it into GarageBand and played with it a little bit and created my very own. Enjoy.

Some people may feel that it’s a fad and who knows, they might be right. For me personally, I’ve always found that I think better with less clutter and simplicity falls in line with my productivity methods.

I plan on writing more about this journey I’m on, but I need to get some distance first so I can look back and have some perspective. Then the article Simplicity is hard. Let’s go shopping! showed up in my RSS reader, courtesy of minimalmac.com and I just had to share it.

It has more to do with how husbands and wives communicate than it does with minimalism, but I hope you find it as humorous as I did. Enjoy.
