Hi-Yooooooo!

[captainsblog]

So an LJ Friend from Massachusetts was in Our Fair State over the weekend, attending the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival.  To my warped mind, this can only evoke one thing: perhaps the most famous performance ever by Carnac The Magnificent back in the old Carson show. The "answer" comes up at about the 4:30 mark, and Johnny and Ed continue to lose it for most of the rest of the clip.

Damn Youtube won't let me embed....

One of the surprises from finding this clip was seeing another one in the sidebar:

Jeff Dunham on Johnny Carson

I didn't know he'd been doing that schtick for so long (it's from 1990, a couple of years before Johnny retired). I've never been much of a Dunham fan, although the grrls here are; I find him just a bit too Larry The Cable Guy for my taste. But he's clearly talented, and I'm sure his new HBO thing will be about as good as most everything else on these days, so hey. To each her own.

To this day, my wife and I will sometimes ask, out of the clear blue, "What is the sound of an exploding sheep?" And then we chortle like idiots.

Many many people were in your fine state this past weekend for the festival! It's the best one on the east coast!

To be fair, it's sort of the opposite end of your fair state.

We brought a new knitter. All day, bedfull_o_books kept muttering about joining the Dark Side. (She already crochets.)
