Kennythepirate joins us in our trip with this one from the Lizard Lounge:

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To prove to the opossum that it could be done. (rim shot)

What? No new CMO videos?? I thought for sure Nancy Drew or Kenny would be tracking down another one!

And yes, I did enjoy Knight Rider!

I'm afraid we lost Kenny tonight to the lizard lounge!

We just posted profiles of 10 of the "Known 13" on the LA Times travel blog.

Would somebody be so kind as to post the link in this DISboards thread.

As a newbie, I don't have linking privileges yet.

Thanks,
Brady MacDonald / Los Angeles Times staff writer + theme park blogger

Oh, I guess Marshay just beat me to it!

Thanks for letting us know about the bios, Brady. Hopefully by next weekend you'll have all sorts of new developments to write about!

 

[Brady MacDonald]

I tried to message you Marshay, but I can't even do that.

Thanks to everybody for all your CMO sleuthing.

You guys are great! Thanks Marsha, Justin and ToTheSea.

I sent another joke to Fleagle, but I the middle name joke reminded me:

When we were at WDW in January, DH told Dniece and Dnephew that Mary Poppins had a middle name. He was red in the face when they told Mary what DH said and she gave him a talking to. Her middle name: Soda.

 

[Marshay]

Hey, why does Patrick Hurd get a profile twice???!!! I mean, I know you like his video as #1, but c'mon

Just teasing ya but his is on there two times!

 

[fleagle]

Calliaz brings us a couple of her favorites with her entry:

From her son's They Might Be Giants CD:

What's tuba plus tuba? Fourba!

Ba dum dum

From Comedy Central:

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!"
After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?"

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Good stuff!

Ok folks... got to work tomorrow, so time for sleep here! More jokes tomorrow! Get your entries in before Tuesday night!

I proclaim Marshay an honorary Los Angeles Times copy editor.

I had Patrick in the wrong spot alphabetically and pasted him in the right spot but forgot to erase him from the old spot.

Want a job?

Hey Brady, I just have to say that I think the cool thing about this is that you got in the mix and actually made a video too.

Woo Hoo!!! Yes, I'll take a job -- that way I'll be able to afford those Lion King tickets and dinner too!!

Actually, in my prior job with MCI (then Worldcom, now Verizon) I had to testify before the Texas PUC and after the Proceeding was done, the Texas Commissioners gave me a plaque that says "Perfectionist Award"!! (Of course the really funny thing is that they spelled my name wrong -- I think they did that on purpose! ) We all had a good laugh about it.

To The Sea,

I've dished out my share of criticism (and praise), so I should be able to take it, too.

My 7-year-old daughter, Hannah, shot all the video. I'm very proud of her.

Making the video certainly gives me some perspective into the work involved. I suppose that's why I'm blown away by Patrick, Andy and Kerrie (and even the pixie dusters).

But I do agree that video-making and animation ability will have no bearing on the rest of the contest. Marketing skills, Disney knowledge and personality are what's needed from here on out.

Sorry, guys but I've not had much time for research the last couple of days. A dear friend who was a member of my church died suddenly at the age of 35. She was the mother of a dear 4 year old. I've been spending time with the family to prepare for the funeral. I have another member whose Mom is about to die of terminal cancer as well. Your prayers would of course be appreciated for these families.

Brady sent me the link to his newest blog with bg info on the current "known 13"
"Here's the link for my profiles on 10 of the 13 candidates."

Yeah, I think it's really going to come down to personality especially. It's all so exciting! Tell your little girl she did a great job for her Dad!

Wow! I'm so sorry to hear that, Kenny.
