So, now that Lynn told me she thinks I'm occasionally funny, I feel the need to be entertaining more often. That will inevitably be a losing venture. Anyway, you know the other day when I said I was working on something funny? Yeah, I couldn't do what I wanted to do because the computer hates me, and rather than do it all subpar, I didn't do it. But what it was was that Shannon's five year old twin nephews were Obama and McCain for Halloween and their mom took some video of it. Shannon and I were there, and thusly she asked us to do something with the footage she shot. I wanted to put it either Ebony and Ivory or So Happy Together, as the audio is somewhat less that thrilling. She had coached Obama to say, "Share the wealth!" and McCain to say, "Friends, we need to end this war now!" But since they were five and were wearing masks, it was mostly garbled. Still funny, but not the most compelling thing you've ever seen. Also, the McCain mask was weirdly a darker color than the Obama mask. It looked like McCain had spent a little too much time in the tanning booth. Sadly, it just didn't work out, because I could see it in my head and it was awesome. And now it's no longer topical, so what's the point?
