Singing like the fat man. . .

My sister and her family spent Christmas with us this year. True to form Jenny (my sister) had to bring some crazy gadget along. This time it was a brand new karaoke machine purchased as a gift by her loving husband; he must have wanted torture. Of course, after much prodding from everyone, I finally took my turn at the infernal jet-black music (or is it muzak) spewing device. As with many electronic products, it was manufactured in China. Which means that I was careful to keep my mouth far enough away from the mic so I wouldn't get lead poisoning from the paint. Since this was Christmas time Jenny selected God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and I immediately began to hold forth in the biggest "fat man" voice I could muster.

Lets just say the desired amusing effect was successful as the room quickly filled with riotous laughter. So I threw in a little counter-tenor as well. Unbeknownst to me, Andrea grabbed her little camera and started shooting video of the chaos. The video snippet turned out to be so blasted funny that I feel I must (to my own embarrassment) share with everyone. So next time you're feeling blue, just watch this video and know that there are bigger idiots in the world, like me :)
