That’s a start, but let’s see you do at least an inverted slack drop.

I must be on the wrong blog. I swear I saw you perform a marginal revolution.

Almost as good as a real visit from you! BUT, please be careful. Dad says he’s not sure he’s your father, and I’m not sure I’m your mother, but they sure gave us a good baby to take home!! Love–

David Pinto: It’s the Woody Woodpecker theme, performed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I chose it becaues it was the exact same length as the video (though I failed to synchronize them perfectly). The other choices from my iPod at that exact length included Dylan Thomas reading Yeats, a very poorly recorded Charlie Parker selection, a spoken track from a disk called “Relationships from Hell”, Willy Schwarz’s soporific Sleep Theme, and Flanders and Swann’s Hundred Song (lyrics: “Before you lose your temper, count up to a hundred. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,….”). Woody Woodpecker seemed the best of these.

I bet Krugman can do that. Not only that, I bet he can do it while explaining why doing it means that we need health care reform and stronger unions in this country.

Well, I saw a burlesque dancer do this while stripping. Step up your game (and give us some action)!
