Sorry about that last post. Speaking of last posts, this will actually be the last post of DailyTurnONBlog. Due to time constraints, we simply cannot continue to publish this blog. It has been an incredible honor and we really appreciate everyone's support. We truly hope everyone continues to produce creative projects, from short stories to video projects and feel free to look back on previous posts with pride and joy.
We regret having to conclude this blog on such a lackluster note but difficult choices had to be made and we would rather enjoy what we have worked together to produce rather than risk the quality of future posts.
We love you all and please continue to create.

WOOOO!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!
HEY EVERYBODY!!!! DAILY TURNON BLOG IS BACK!!!
We're back, baby, and we're psyched to get started on some awesome segments. We took a few weeks off to build up some creative projects and, as you can see by glancing to the right, we've made a few changes to the schedule.
What Lead To That Wednesdays- A perfect chance for our readers to interact with the blog: we will post up a quick video clip and you tell us what event, dialogue or scenario lead up to the clip. It'll be fun, we promise.
Top Five Friday- So we changed Top Five Fridays into a video blog so you can watch the list instead of having to scan it with your eyes!
Saturday Sound- No more of that musical guitar bullsh*t, SS is going to be interviews and audio book readings from now on. Be prepared.
This renovated schedule is due to change by next month. We have A LOT of exciting stuff planned, including a lot more video projects.
And if YOU ever want to post anything, send an email to Omar at Omar.Najam@gmail.com and your creativity will be posted up as soon as possible. Unless your name is Evan, in which case, we're sorry because we told you that your comic would go up but... it never actually got posted and... we promise it'll be up in less than a fortnight.
All the cool funness starts again tomorrow so enjoy your April foolishness and we'll see you all tomorrow!
And on a very vulnerable note, thank you for reading the blog, it means a lot to us. Enjoy.

(an early) Saturday Sound: Arbor Guitar Tracks
This Saturday Sound, we're going to help soothe over your weekend with a nice little jam done with electric and acoustic guitars for the improvability. EAP Arbor video. Enjoy.

Top Five Friday: Weapons 2.0
Hello, everyone, we hope your week went well! As North Korea has announced an artillery test along the coast and Tea Partiers have chuckled at a speaker's jab about hanging a current senator, the world is becoming a very scary place.
So we thought we'd make it less scary by replacing popular weapons with effective but not as violent counterparts.
Enjoy the Top 5 Friday
1.replace GUNS with... DANDELIONS
![Dandelions](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v1LZ36Bwgjx2FyxSnx9d55Or-n_NL9wEMjDrcEImt-hKd1VmjKcbFAjok_H6NbbsPaDCjWyicp1x3VMz4cLznbUErFoPZmF-vVAo_q2cvE5fidt8H11AojVxHQ1KCAwqJSWC076gOjSJD0ArcKJg=s0-d)
Who doesn't love shooting off a gun into the clear and peaceful morning? But this innocent activity is sullied by the violent past of gunfare. So we suggest that instead of popping a few caps after a stressful day, blow on a dandelion. Not only do you get the same "skeet-driven" rapid fire excitement, you're also teaching your kids the importance of reforestation. Plus, if you believe in faeries, you can make a wish every time you shoot off a few. Ever made a wish on a bullet? Didn't think so.
2.replace SWORDS with... LICORICE
![Licorice](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t_C_CNh89IuZqhkpbJ18Owzou3esF42c8n1aoQNXYLxu-QhtOKeJeZm6kTlpXR4n-RQPskbjj5lAd3OV0etMFfUpz9S3PC7RNKH7N0dwVA_7P3Zg=s0-d)
Love stabbing at people with a rapier but hate the messy cleanup and legal ramifications? So do we. Instead of slashing at the problem with meticulous precision, we suggest filling your sheaths with licorice. Not only will you not break the skin of your opponent or unsuspecting victim, but you have a tasty treat that you both can share afterward.
3.replace GRENADES with... BISCUITS
![Biscuits](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_te1uhNCTN4OVZ3HpiR3pjODOI0SXakvwI5loLYsKf9Y9ArOjlewpPzILaqsr0zuL_Rd_uV4Xcp0J1W-Nck7vz-v8Vj_pnNhJIQVDDQDaKUAQSTxPLS6INZa091wiRlkQ=s0-d)
Biscuits. Crumbly, crumbly biscuits. Not only do biscuits capture the best parts of grenades without the expense, biscuits surpass grenades in factors ranging from annoyance to difficulty when it comes time to clean up. What's more dangerous: a grenade in a car or an open box of biscuits. We'll let you be the judges.
Plus, who says "it's grenade time" or "it's time for grenade". No one. You'd sound like an idiot.
4.replace KNIVES with... NARWHALS
![Narwhals](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u50CtSKH1QlyK75Dd9T2_SBwCAQiCIqKvvh7BAuWj8LbC4oFOzyxmr_houU-7Juh_SvvLYn772ZSelXA5o6pAqbRAKzOB5b45o4QtrsjoJLWNPtHZhNqomGHSJ8Oa-evYYGw=s0-d)
We know what you're thinking: "this whole blog post has been a joke about taking dangerous things and replacing them with less dangerous things. But narwhals are equally as dangerous, if not more". Well, loud thinker, we're being a bit sneaky with this one because yes, on average more people are killed due to narwhal related attacks than knife incidents BUT if we replaced all the knives in the world with narwhals, including kitchen knives and throwing knives, think about how marine life would become a major concern for the populous. You've heard the arguments before. "Why should we help the fishes, it's not like they help us". Well if we relied on marine life as much as we rely on knives, we bet that everyone, even the most doucebaggy of the teabaggers, would attend beach clean-ups.
5.replace BOMBS with... PILLOWS
![Pillows](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sBY3bkvqibCWB6bRfKtgzeqlW0iIdnlSiH7WJMJa3eNk5t_k9pnkc_ibjr991Xe6CF0dkRaCxha2zyQUqME_ZUKlHd973_P_RE77yJ3cHO9Uu7J6JILJiioaA_=s0-d)
This is by far the most obvious: replace bombs with pillows. But the positive-thinking-shrapnel isn't just limited to the lack of real-shrapnel. If all air bombers dropped pillows, the ground of war fields would be littered with pillows. And who has ever been able to have more than a pillow fight when the ground is carpeted in fluffy happiness.
Or ice cream. We wouldn't mind dropping ice cream.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
