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

    Glen Raphael: We are in fact working on our drops!

    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–

    Is that the Woody Woodpecker theme?

    Ha! Krugman can do that BLINDFOLDED!

    The way he writes his column …

    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.

    That is pretty cool, are there competitions in this sort of activity?

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