Foot in Mouth

Apollinaire Scherr talks about dance

How to make lazy, sleepy, or dopey friends and relatives laugh–and get them to the polls ontime

October 23, 2008 by Apollinaire Scherr 2 Comments

See, this video can be custom made for every well-intentioned Obamaite you know who just might take too long a nap on Election Day. Watch it, edit it, and send it out. We might as well turn our election jitters into something useful (and funny).

(You ask, isn’t this just a bit off topic, Apollinaire? I say, Only in the narrow view of things).

    This is wonderful! Great fun! And definitely on topic, since if we’re not careful, we’re not going to have the arts, an economy, a country or a world. Get out and vote, people!
    Dear Eva,
    yes, yes, yes!

    I know a sleepy person who wants to vote for a third candidate; (she cannot think of his/her name.) It ought to be a daytime (3-4pm) TV commercial because getting this person to open her email and click on the link might be difficult…but I’ll give it a shot. Thanks.
    Hahaha. Well, given it’s a third candidate, maybe you should just let her sleep. Or you could tell her the third candidate’s name is O-BA-MA. Last time around, I ran into my christian evangelist neighbor coming home from work. She said she was going to take a short nap and then vote for Bush. I borrowed her god to pray that she oversleep. Didn’t work. ~) Apollinaire
