Wanna drive me crazy?
Mark has a new hobby. It's watching a music video called "Wanna Love You Tender", which, incidentally, is listed as one of You Tube's Worst Music Video Ever. Should that tell us something? Like, don't watch it, for one? And definitely don't watch it more than once!? Or at least more than once an hour? Please, someone agree with me..

I can't quite tell his motive. It could be
1. Drive me crazy
2. Laugh so hard he sets on new waves of IBS
3. Memorize the words to inflict pure torture on me at some future time when we have our piano back (He will just need to find some red pants first.)

And, no, Mark, I won't allow you to dress up like the lead male singer for Halloween. And don't even ask if I will...I won't.

And special thanks to Paul Huff for "culturing" us with this little treasure.

I'm happy to oblige. I really think you'll like that last beauty I put in my last comment, almost as much. ;)

Please do not give Mark any more ideas for future ward talent show skits, or for Halloween costumes. The Russian dance, complete with seriously scary hair and makeup (especially the guy in green) was one for the books!

FYI another favorite of Mark's is Olive Oyl's song "But He's Large." Also very painful. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cRUa_E1CugU
You might just like it. And that would be a sure sign that we need to get together with you guys soon. And if you don't like it, well we should get together anyway!

Two things:
  1. I'm not sure what's worse: to watch many, many, many, MANY different and all equally terrible videos (as Paul constantly does--apparently it's part of working from home?), or to watch the same one over and over. Either way, I'm really sorry.
  2. The idea of Mark trying to memorize the words reminds me of him trying to figure out the exact cadence of the rooster's crow at the obispo's in Irapuato. I wonder if he still remembers it.

I'm surprised you remember Mark's little quirks with memorizing songs. I asked him if he remembered the gas song from Mexico that he used to whistle. He did--without a moment's hesitation. And he reminded me of the time that we were practicing for a musical number in church, and Becca (who has perfect pitch) started playing it, and all the members that were in the chapel early listening to us started laughing.

I am pleased to see that you are a list maker. I feel like all my blogs (on blogspot) have a list in them somewhere. I think that's what studying math for undergrad did to me. Sometimes I wonder if it's a copout...eliminates the need for good narration. But I'm happy to be joined in my list-making fettish by such a proficient writer.

I'm all about lists. And what are these other blogs you speak of? Do tell.
