Hi Everyone! Twins on board!

Welcome, Cody & Toby! Your video was "double the fun!" Loved it!

 

[CodyandToby]

That is too funny Justin, and a memory I'm sure you'll never forget! That should definitely count for something in all of this...just what would you do to be CMO?!! Thanks for making me laugh!

Same here Justin!

Can you provide me a link/thread to the Top 20 CMO videos?
I have only found a few so far.
Thanks,
Eaglerock.
PS: I found Kenny's vidoe on youtube quite funny.

Thanks, it was a real joy making it with my little one, my wife and my dog. Two funny things about the video. My daughter laughed when I originally took the Minnie and said, "Silly Daddy!" I'm sorry to say, but the pirate had to pretend to dispose of Minnie to bring about the sad reaction. The dog wouldn't hold the keys. I had to tilt his head up and hold his mouth shut just to get 1 second of film. That took the most takes. Most shots were 1 or 2 and done.

And since I just got done watching the Disney movie ... here is another inspirational quote, taken from Walt Disney and abbreviated for the film...

Keep Moving Forward!

2 points for guessing the movie!

“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Walt Disney

Ha! Russian Brides, that's great.

At one point when we were filming mine - now remember I live in Pittsburgh and it was 10 degrees outside before the wind that day (gotta love winter) - I was outside doing the rolling down the sidewalk in an office chair bit. An elderly couple - very sweet people, I might add - pulled up to ask for directions. Of course I jumped up off the ground where I had landed, removed the child's size Disney princess bike helmet and kindly sent them on their way happily to their destination.

Seriously though, how lost do you have to be to think that stopping to ask an adult male wearing a suit rolling down a sidewalk in an office chair while wearing a Disney princess bike helmet that would barely fit a 6-year old in sub-freezing weather is your best option??

To film the monkey/giant banana scene in mine I wanted a jungle-y setting with lots of plants so decided to use the Fred Meyer garden department. Unfortunately because it was winter there were no plants in the big outdoor area I hoped to unobtrusively use. So I went to the flower department inside the store and set up with giant banana, ballgown, tiara and all while people shopped around me for palm trees. The fellow working in the shop was sweet and totally into it. My circus band will often march through grocery stores and coffee shops when we're in small towns and it reminded me of that. Some people just act like nothing unusual is happening even though there is a fairly raucous marching band playing through the aisles.

Welcome twins!

OK, since it's been a bit quiet...how about another get-to-know-you question...

Crocs or not?

Love Crocs. Can't wear them in the parks all day, but love them on long standing up all day work days.

So it's true then, once a pirate, always a pirate?!? Must keep to the code...

I can only imagine the fun you had with that--it turned out great!

Ahhh! You know: I must have been a little punchy at the time, because that second one (sort of a "cautionary tale") seemed a lot funnier when I sent it late last night!

Don't blush! It's Dave Barry - funny no matter what the circumstances!

When I was a kid (in elementary school), a neighbor would sometimes dress in outrageous costumes and stand out in his yard, which was on a busy street. The rest of us would conduct a little poll while the traffic passed.

("Yes! That guy just waved at us. .... That one just honked. Let's see ... That's six waves, two honks, four smiles, one 'no response' ... and two people flipped us 'the bird.'")

Good times!
