Election Dance 2008

A few years back, I had the privilege of participating in a variety show called "Dog & Pony." I have only my baldness to credit. A friend I didn't know all that well at the time was performing a sketch he wrote, and he needed a bald, roundish face and head to affix baby doll arms and legs to. (It was wonderfully weird and way too complicated to explain here, but pester Virgil if you'd like details. I sure wish he'd write more.)

So Virgil's previous bald head was suddenly unavailable, and I served as a stand-in. Thus began a fun, prolific collaboration that lasted a few active years and sputters occasionally to this day when we find the motivation. I swear to Christ we'll get to that podcast eventually.

Titivil was the host and co-producer for this Dog & Pony show, and today he linked to a reprise of one of my favorite performances from eight (wow) years ago. The original performance, of course, featured Bush and Gore. Today, it features McCain and Obama. (The performers' current sites can be found here (she was also the other co-producer for D&P) and here.)

Nothing about the campaigns has brought a smile to my face for quite some time, but this sure did, and not just because of nostalgia. I hope you enjoy, too.
