Scary Maybe, But Here You Go

Arrgh!
I can't get this to load, though it's probably just as well …

Have YouTube upgraded their blog support to include Beta yet? And if not, why not? There's a clip I've been wanting to post for weeks, but being on Beta, it wouldn't work.
I'll try again when I get home.

I don't think youtube has upgraded yet, but to the right of each video is an "embed" spot with the html stuff. You can copy and paste using that, and it usually works.

Here's the url for this treat:

scary maybe??

more like most definitely. why is that a creepy looking old guy, when added to something simple and enjoyable, like a cup of coffee, equals "things that make you go ewwww".

oh wait, did I just sum up old knudson, or what? ha ha.

Thanks for the tip, Robyn.
The clip works perfectly at home; the office servers must have a "good taste" filter stopping it getting through.

And hey, Adair! What's wrong with creepy looking old guys? Other than old K, of course …

Nightmares. Nightmares. That guy licking his chops is going to give me nightmares.

I thought I had posted this already. Hmmm...

He is a little nightmarish, I guess. I wonder what was going through his head when he was filming this--was there no one there to tell him that it was creepy?

I'm not sure what's been going on with blogspot the last couple of days, but some of my comments have been disappearing too.

Poor Old Knudson gets no respect.

The stain on the bottom of the first cup is really disturbing. I swear the man is really drinking blood.

Am I Stupid, or What?

In two weeks, I will climb up into a charter bus, take my assigned seat, and ride 22 hours straight to Orlando, Florida. I will be a chaperon with the high school marching band, which will perform at Disney's Magic Kingdom--me and 180 people on four big buses for seven days. We will travel together, eat together, play together, fall down exhausted together--and after 22 hours, I suspect stink to high heaven together. Because of the crazy schedule, we will leave Ohio at 6 pm, travel all night and most of the next day, and spend several hours at MGM Studios before ending up at the hotel sometime after 7 pm. After I check in with the eight girls I am to supervise, I intend to shower and shower and shower. I intend to wear clean clothes and socks and brush my teeth until my toothbrush wears out. Of all the things I could be concerned about on this trip, being dirty seems to weigh heaviest on my mind. One of my eight charges could run off and do bad things with her boyfriend, but I'...

No More Mr. Nice Guy

It's good to be a nice person--to say nice things, to do nice things, to write nice things--but I declare an end to the use of the word nice. Nice is what you say when you can't think of any other adjective. Someone shows you a picture of their back yard--that's nice. Someone tells you about their afternoon adventure--that's nice. Or someone describes their childhood in great detail and sometimes with painstaking effort--that's nice. It's a lazy word, and it's non-descriptive. Nice is like mashed potatoes with noodles and chicken gravy all in a big pile on one plate with some canned corn for garnish. Everything is the same color and texture and base substance--starch (this is a favorite Amish dish). Nice is like a partly cloudy day in April when outside feels like inside, and you can't tell a difference between the lighting and the temperature of your living room and the lighting and temperature of your front yard. Nice is a glass of lukewarm water. ...

An Offending Pile

So, I'm standing in my living room letting my mind wander for a minute or two as I stare out the window and watch the day go by, and I see my neighbors walking their dogs down the street. They are nice neighbors who are always friendly and responsible with their property. That is to say they aren't like the other neighbors who heap rubbish behind their house like Ma and Pa Kettle and let their dogs bark for thirty minutes at a time . Anyway, I see the nice people walking their dogs, a big golden retriever who is as sweet as can be and as dumb as a post—he once ate a sock and nearly died before it was surgically removed—and a new golden retriever puppy. Then I see Neighbor Wife suddenly run down the street with the big dog. Then I see Neighbor Husband stopped in front of my house with the puppy on its leash. And then I see the puppy taking a huge dump in my grass. Let me tell you, that is not done in this town unless the dog owner has a plastic bag handy and is ready to pick up ...
