Sue with Coffee, Tea on Me!Yes, all that coffee and milk made a big mess all over the bathtub, Riccardo’s feet and Natalie’s socks but it was so worth the hours of clean up time to be able to share this moment with you.
And worth it all the more so because
I cannot accept my prize.
Why? There are really only three DVDs in this world that every family must own:
* Dumb and Dumber
* The Sound of Music
* Haidong Gumbdo With The Stars
(featuring Maureen McCormick, “Marcia” of The Brady Bunch)
Fortunately, I own all three and watch them once a week if possible. I have no DVD needs as Riccardo has us covered in the Godfather and Sopranos category and Audrey and Natalie own “Headbutting for Dummies, Parts 1 and 2”. No family really needs more.
So here’s what I’d like to do. Like the Miss Universe context, there is a runner up – a person in nanosecond place, as it were. Should Miss Universe (me, in this case) be unable or unwilling to fulfill her duties (select a DVD, in this case), the runner up should step in and choose a DVD (one DVD at under $20, in this case). This runner up should fulfill all of the winner’s obligations and duties. This includes saying thank you and getting the DVD out of the box without breaking the box or the DVD itself. And now, without wasting another moment...
The runner up is… Craig Banman
with Jumpin’ Jack Jive!
Congratulations!
Craig must now bow to the roaring crowd before him, humbly accepting the praise, nodding and smiling without betraying panic as the screaming fans try to storm the stage.
He must then choose a DVD from Amazon.com and tell the nanocommittee which it is. And, just because the winner (Sue, in this case) was so nice, he must promise to think of her next time he makes a touchdown and do the action in the picture below with any of his teammates he wishes to. It must be so.
Congratulations Craig Banman,
Jammin’ Nanoguy!
