So, Posty, I think this is the first video of yours that I've seen.

You never cease to amaze me.

You are a very funny man.

But I really thought you were taller.

Going to watch "A Beautiful Mind".

You keep your XBox controller in your lap?

(What? Isn't that everyone's most prized possession?)

And yep, I'm old. I was born just over two months before John F. Kennedy was shot. But I have an airtight alibi! And nobody saw me!

Err...

Well it got very fast and sort of hysterical in here tonight, but I think it was funny.

So . . . I've been told that all guys give theirs a nickname. Don't know why. Don't know if that's true. But DeaconBlues, is that what you call yours?

"XBox controller"?
Very interesting. You really must be in on this study. You're a goldmine.

Alan

If you're still here, DeaconBlues, and could be serious for a moment, what is an XBox?

I am so disconnected from contemporary culture, I know absolutely nothing about them. Are they a game or a music player? Don't know! Really! I live like a hermit.

I suppose I could look it up on the net.

Why are they so popular?


Alan

Good reason this is the only one you've ever seen. It made its International Debut here tonight and was made fresh on the kitchen table this evening. However I didn't give credits.

SwampBlossom: Camara Gal
The Wife: Sound Person
Direction: None
Addtional sound acting: Voices in my head
Casting: Bal-mart
reProducer: I used to be, but the world complained

All charactors in this video are largely fictitious and any resembalnce to the living, I here by declare dead.

the end

Grants used for this nonproduction were provided by....... Tina's Tastey Freeze, United Spam(TM) Workers of America, and your local PBS station

You are very well connected!

Was that really you on the table or just your replica?

Yep. (<------ I need these sunglasses now so no one knows who I am.) I'm waiting for my Oscar now.

Maybe I can talk SwampBlossom into video taping what else we do on that kitchen table. We eat in the living room by the way.

and I was 13 two days after he was shot. . .and I saw you from the Home Ec sewing room where I was surriptitiously listening in on my transistor radio!

That moment, reading class. I suppose a lot of people know exactly where they were and what they were doing. I sure do.

I was taking a buddy to the Dallas airport and as I was driving along, I was kind of glancing at the scenery. My head did a double snap. There was the book repository, the road leading under the bridge I was about to cross. It was like instant, different angle then any I think I ever saw on tv, but it was instant recognition.

XBox is a brand of home video-game console, manufactured (at a loss, for quite a few years) by Microsoft. It's considered the best of its generation of game consoles for graphic presentation, although the Nintendo GameCube is considered easier to use, and the Sony Playstation 2 outsold both others by virtue of having better graphics than the GameCube, and being about a hundred dollars cheaper than the XBox.

I have an XBox because we had borrowed it from a friend, who subsequently swiped my wife's claymore (sword, not explosive) and absconded. I therefore inherited the device by default. It's been good to me, guiding me through Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Fable: The Lost Chapters, Def Jam Fight For NY, Star Wars: the Clone Wars, Worms IV: Mayhem, and a disc full of adaptations of old Midway arcade games (although I can't seem to crack into the top level on Hydro Thunder, a boat-racing game - but it's fun to try!). Meanwhile, my PS2 has died, and the only game for the GameCube that I still enjoy playing is Skies of Arcadia Legends, and it hardly seems worthwhile to hook all that hardware back up for one lousy game. (Perhaps one day, when I break down and get a Wii, I'll play it again...)

Meanwhile, in the current generation, the XBox 360 is managing to outsell the Playstation 3 by virtue of having come out a year earlier, and being about a hundred dollars or so cheaper than the PS3. (Can't say Bill Gates doesn't learn from history!) The 360 also has a number of titles that will be exclusive to itself, including Halo 3 and Fable 2, and will debut the hotly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV about a month earlier than the PS3 version.

Enough? Or did you want more? <insert villainous chortle here>

Lemon!! ! So good to see you again!

Wild Thang Postie- I loved hearing you and Swampblossum laugh! Swampblossum's laugh sounds very musical! And of course, your dance moves are quite impressive. Hmmmm...if Rudolph's nose ever burns out, Santa could use your blushing cheeks, ...if we could teach you to fly. Quite an image in my head right now - Postie's blinking blushing cheeks leading Santa's sleigh across the moon of a winter's night sky, to the tune of Wild Thang... ...Swampblossum's laughter mixed with sleigh bells lilting through the night air trailing the vanishing menagerie... ...a very distant call of "Ho! Ho! Ho!" ...

Indecisiveness! An inability to see things in black and white mode - a need for shades of gray (grey)! Choices outside the two given! Preferences of rich complexity!

Quite obviously your brain is defective! Nine hours of artificial light exposure wasn't enough! BACK TO THE MALL WITH YOU!! !! ! Enough mall exposure, and we'll have you telling me 2+2 does not equal 5! Muahahahaha! Can't have abnormal brains running around! CONFORMITY IS GOOD. INDIVIDUALITY IS SLAVERY.

Since you insist on talking to a figment of your imagination, I guess I'll just play along. I don't get any artificial light exposure today, I have 2 soccer games and then I will be back here. Better beware my defective brain!! !! !
