I'm not gonna say it....

We have this friend who uses the term "(fill in the name) is an idiot" all the time as a joke. She does it in jest quite often, so it's one of those terms we've all just sort of picked up over time after being with her. It's all funny except for when you aren't with her and folks think that my saying "Joe is an idiot" is horribly mean. Yeah, well, I don't really mean it.....

except for when he uses the video camera.....




Seriously, who takes video of the lamp during the largest snowstorm to hit Chicago in 10 years?

Joe. Because, well......

Duni said...

I got dizzy watching that video ;-)
Sorry about the snowstorm. I guess I shouldn't complain about our rain!

p.s. thanks for your comment on my blog. Er...yes, looks like I'll be sewing my fingers off in the near future. I wonder if I can get the hubby to cook...

stay warm

Joe is an idiot.

(It needed to be said.)

But he's the kind of idiot I love. ;)

Lola said...

Ok...I have to ask...who did the title and the credits?

Rebecca said...

LOL!!!

He's a budding cinematographer! LOL like maybe in 20 years. Keep practicing!!

This is a deep and meaningful film, full of hidden messages and subtle themes. I need to keep watching it over and over. I'll understand it fully someday......

Secondary Roads said...

Not going to say it? Good. Very good! 'Cause you shudn't outta say it. :)

lifeshighway said...

I laughed, I cried... a cinematic Tour de Force.

That'll do Joe, that'll do.

Jen Chandler said...

Profound.
It needs multiple viewings to get all the subtle yet deep symbolism of Lamp vs. the Elements. ;)

Seriously, TOO funny!
Thanks for the smile,
Jen

Who will you be wearing to all the award shows?

Nancy said...

I see where he was going with it, but seriously?

Merry said...

I have no words to express how I feel after watching that video. He's a keeper!

Ozark Mountain Cats said...

I was a wee bit disappointed. I expected since you said (insert name here) was an idiot that he'd open the window and bury the lamp underneath an avalanche of snow or that he would have you open the window so he could bury you, hobbes and the lamp.

Ann said...

now there is a video that the kids will look at years from now and say "my dad took that, what an idiot"....lol Of course they will say it with love though :)

Theatre of the Absurd- Edward Albee, move over.

BeadedTail said...

I kept expecting the lamp to do something besides just sit there. That was a cliff hanger until the credits ran and then I was disappointed. (But I did giggle nonetheless!)

Lin said...

Helene--And this is the ENTIRE video--there was no editing. I couldn't believe he shot that. Ugh.

Duni--Oh, could you see the snow past Lamp??? You are certainly gonna be one busy gal or are you hiring help?

Jodi--Yeah, that's what I tell him. ;)

Violet--Thank you. When I say it everyone thinks I'm being mean to Poor Joe. Sheesh. But he's a good kind of idiot.

Lola--Shhhhhh! Don't be siding with Joe!!!

Rebecca--I saw this on the Flip and I was wondering what the heck he was filming. This is the ENTIRE footage--no editing. And he didn't think it was goofy. ?????

Anita's Mom--Isn't it? It came with the editing program. Now it keeps going through my head!

Betty--If you figure it out, let me know. I just think he's an idiot.

Chuck--I know, but everyone is thinking it....

Highway--Hahaha! I LOVE your comment today. :)

Jen--Ugh, Jen. Let's not encourage him. Wait until you see Back Door.

Pricilla--I think we will all be wearing Hobbes at the rate he is shedding these days. ;)

Nancy--Isn't it awful? Now imagine all our family movies by Joe. Yeah/no. It's not good.

Merry--Yeah, I was speechless too. This is the ENTIRE video, Merry. It doesn't even get better. Sigh.

Ozark Mtn Cats--Nope. It's just boring old Lamp...doing nothing. I guess it's "art" or something.

Ann--We have TONS more where that came from. Needless to say, we don't let him near the camcorder too often.

Sharky--No kidding! Now he sees nothing wrong with this video. Wait until you see Back Door.

Beaded Tail--Nope. It's so bad it makes you laugh. I thought he was going somewhere with it too, but noooooo. There is more like this, believe it or not.

Chocolate Covered Daydreams said...

I think that the snow has clogged his brain? Well, at least the star of the show must've been happy.

Helene said...

Oh wow there is MORE? Can't wait! Joe, how about starting your own blog of these clips?

Beaded Tail-I loved your answer

Anne said...

I have to admit, I use the term XX is an idiot all the time. I wouldn't be offended at all if you said Joe was an idiot (but that may just be me).

Casey said...

I love lamp. Did you see Anchorman? IF you saw it and hated it, watch it again. The second time, it becomes hilarious. And I love lamp.
