I wanted to join in on the video fun, but wanted to add a new spin to it. I was going to do a series of 'behind the camera' shots where I narrated the action impersonating FBG's most famed members. I was going to do you once I figured out how to mimic your speech patterns and tone to at least a passable degree, but with a comic spin to it that is commonly seen on SNL, though I admit I'm a mere hack. Thorn's Maine accent I can probably do now with some degree of funny thanks to years of camp in that fine state and the sounds of Milwaukie/Minnesota are rife for comic fodder and in my wheelhouse thanks to several Midwest friends and family ties in Michigan. It also helps that I've seen Fargo 100 times and that Sammy has given me yards of material to work with.But the easiest impersonation for me is of course our good buddy Cosjobs since his accent is thick and I was raised in his home state. So he was the first and most logical target and last night I
finally had some free time to myself where I could record the action without explaining myself to my wife, in-laws, parents, cousins, sons, co-workers, friends, co-coaches or my cat, whom I refuse to surrender my dignity to. It's bad enough he watches me scoop out his litter box. I'll be damned if he's going to watch me film myself for innernet friends.
Anyhow, I did one take in a rush, put it on youtube, threw it up here under an alias (wanted to try and remain in character, but realized that was foolish as I don't have any undiscovered alias and I linked right to my personal youtube) and sat back to watch the laughs roll in. Nothing. Nobody saw it. First person to respond was Cosjobs and he was offended.
I felt bad and took it down. I thought it was funny and was just busting balls. Considering I get a Powder the Pale guy joke thrown at me once a day, I figured it was okay for me to goof on others, especially if the goof isn't personal. I guess I crossed a line by coughing. I thought it was tame, but if it hurts feelings, I'm going to try and respect that. I was going to be a little more harsh on others, especially my good buddy Shuke, but if a joke flops, I'm not going to keep plugging away at it.
But #### it was funny. I don't care what anybody says. I laughed.
