Around SBN: The End Of Sabanball: Details, Barbarians, And Precision

My big deal internet radio appearance.

I was on the BlogTalkRadio show last night, and let me tell you... I was terrible. I'm not sure why I even do these things, other than I kinda like to embarrass myself because later on, I think it's funny.

True story. The ringtone on my phone is a clip of the song Drive, by the Cars, as performed by Julio Iglesias. What you hear on this video from :20 to about :25 is exactly what happens when somebody calls me:

Why do I have that as my ring tone? It's because I figured there would be times when I'd forget to turn my ringer off while in a potentially embarrassing place (work, class, courtroom, gay bar). When Julio would start singing, I'd turn red in the face, but oh what a laugh I'd have to myself later!

I think you can listen to it here. I should've done the whole thing in a really heavy Filipino accent. I feel so much more comfortable that way.

You picked "Drive"?
You picked "Drive" over "Careless Whisper"? Over Careless Whisper??

What is wrong with you?

more potential for embarrassment if I happen to be looking for a ride somewhere.

You and I have a very similar fake laugh.

You were fine
At least you didn't declare your own love for Josh Fogg or Joe Torre.

oh man how close
I kept thinking, why are we gay for Josh Fogg now? Should I say something gay about Josh Fogg?

holy moses
i was in the middle of a business meeting when my roommate called me. as a joke on him i'd assigned "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls as his ringer. That's the last time i remember actually blushing...

I listened
And you weren't terrible. I could hear you and you weren't too loud.

Also, congratulations, your voice is not that of a cartoon character. :D

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
