Technocracy At It's Finest

I promised someone that I would do a vlog. Or maybe I didn't, whatever.  At this time I do not have the means to record a video, but I did find one of me recorded a short time ago while I was still working at the lab.  Please pay close attention...



You are correct, that wasn't really me. I'm much cuter than that...


See?





thanks to John McElveen

  5. Anything explained by a person in a lab coat must be science! The government will almost certainly buy it! And a cute baby picture as well.

  8. Betsy - Thanks! I obviously went downhill from there...

    Joe - I hope it works for you. Videos are always so hit or miss. Somebody warned me to never post videos, cause a lot of folks can't see them.

    Biana - thanks!

    TVA - I seem to remember this guy on the tonight show or somewhere. I have no idea how he does it all with a straight face.

    Neil - No doubt about that.

    Joan - Well at least you got something out of it! I guess some can't see the video at all.

    TS - You know it's me because it looks like a young Van Heflin and that is what I looked like.

  9. Wow! over my head... only sentence I could understand "It's not cheap but I'm sure the government will buy it."

  13. Hey Pat! Do you mind if I post about my surprise that you were the first to know that this week's theme was from Felicity? I think you might have been the only Vietnam War Veteran to have ever watched the show.... lol

    I wanted to ask you first.... I didn't want to embarrass you by expressing my surprise....

  18. That video was done in one take and completely without cue cards, teleprompters, or any help. He made everything up on the fly! We use this at work from time to time to let people know they are full of shit! Thanks Pat...

  19. Betty - Thanks, I was a darn cute baby...

    Aut - I loved that video. And it better be me, because I have photo hanging on the wall...

    furygirl - Thanks!
    Friday Follow. hmmm...

    Chuck - The guy is great! I think I've seen him on the tonight show several years ago (or somewhere!).

  20. Love the video! It sounds like something they would have in an episode of Star Trek to save the day when the writers have backed themselves into a corner.

    The best part of your baby picture has to be the pose. Now we just need to find a picture of Van Heflin with his finger in his mouth.

  21. Video is awesome! I totally disagree about Star Trek! It's the lost LOST video. You work for the dharma initiative.

  22. Jump Raven - Yep, it's pretty funny. as to the pose, I often recline in that manner still today!

    Copyboy - I do, or I don't, if I did, we wouldn't really be here, sort of...

  23. Ummmmmmm.. I really don't know Pat--never heard of Pat--and I didn't even post this!

    I'm confabulated!

  24. Pat, I was able to view it from home. Pretty amazing stuff. Would be funny to play that for people who are learning the English language, especially for people who are getting pretty good at it, and think they know how to speak it.
    Cute baby pic, but not as cute as the pic of the whining little kid on your old header...

  25. Couldn't understand a word he said! I'll take the baby, I understand them better. (you're so cute)

  28. Aww that picture is really sweet..!

    ReplyDelete
  29. John - I understand totally! In a way, or sort of, or what?

    Joe - I can see them franticaly leafing through their english dictionaries. Oh yeah, that other photo pretty much fit the "family of origin" posts that I was spewing out. I have more to spew so I'll have to find the appropriate photo.

    Ms A - Ahhhh shucks!

    Darryl/Ruth - thanks! Yes the video was indeed odd.

    Betty - It is more than okay! Thanks for the nice words! I'am having a good weekend, hope you are doing the same!

    Sarah - Well, that's just me...Sweet!
