Tube Good to Pass Up…
April 25th, 2008 categories: This and That
Okay… so, we took a little time last night to veg-out on some TV…
Unfortunately, our 200 channels or so didn’t seem to offer anything that we felt like watching. And, news was not an option, especially for my wife. I mean how much depressing news can a person take? Beyond that, election fatigue began right around “Super Tuesday”.Flipping through our typical favorite channels, we came across the 1999, Reese Witherspoon-John Cussack movie, Election. Now, this is a pretty funny movie… even though, we had both seen it before… we settled in and watched.
The difference, we noticed this time around (one that made the movie even funnier), was the obvious likeness one of the characters shared with one of our esteemed Presidential candidates.
I mean, it was uncanny. And, we had some good laughs because of it. Inspired to see if we were the first to make this connection, I quickly visited Youtube, only to discover that our observations were actually not new. In fact, someone had actually created a video clip using footage from the movie. I felt compelled to share… hope you enjoy…
Uhmmm… I know. I’m supposed to limit my blog musings to real estate, mortgage, and local Chico themes. Politics are definitely a “No, No”.
They say to stick to what’s safe or, run the risk of offending someone and alienating the very people who help put food on the table and pay the rent (mortgage). You know… the client. And, for the most part, I have bit my tongue and respected that rule… just good business practice, I suppose.
But, every once in a while… you’ve just got to do what you’ve got to do, even if that means breaking a rule now and then.
Some things are just too good to pass up. And, I don’t think anybody should truly be offended. But, in the unfortunate event that you are, my apologies. But, for those of you who share my sense of humor and growing sense of election fatigue, watch the movie. It is pretty darn funny.
Oh, yes. There are many great Chico, Ca real estate deals out there that are just too goo to pass up! Stay tuned and I will tell you about some of them…
Shannon,
I heard that you were “blogging”. I googled and guess what? up you pop…
Read from blast off, through the crack heads and beyond. Very very funny!
Good luck and we’ll keep reading.

But dying to know, who got who on fool’s day?
Very cool! Thanks Sandi. Well, I got Cassie with the cold hands. But, the joke was really on me, because I lost so much sleep to do it. I was on alert all day!
Shannon, that was really funny, thanks for sharing, even though it was not real estate related!
Thanks Elsa. You’ve just got to mix it up sometimes…
Shannon that little movie was too funny!!
Hey Erin. Thanks. I appreciate you visiting and I thought there was some good humor there too. I encourage you to come back and visit. Or, better yet, sign up for automatic article feeds for useful and sometimes fun stuff!
I think if Hillary made cupcakes that said “yes we will”, she just may make it to the WH once again…
