Holy cow. It requires a dizzying number of steps to get a video from a VHS tape to this blog given the equipment in this house. This is not a task for those with vertigo. At one point I complained to no one in particular that I would be willing to cut off my left testicle to get this accomplished, and then I realized that was step number 194 in the process. It's okay though. Righty was always my favorite.

Anyway, what I had hoped to do was upload and present the fun bits of footage from the episodes of Family Feud that I appeared on back when I was in college. Since iMovie made the tiniest edit a herculean chore, so far all I have available is the intro to my episode.

So, without further ado, I proudly present the first minute of my first appearance on network television. I'm the guy in the bright yellow sweatshirt on the left of the UC Berkeley team. Behold my complete lack of rhythm and body awareness. It's cringetastic!

While it would indeed be a sad life without Leftie, I think seeing this in its entirety would make it worth it.

Up to you, though. And your balls.

Oh dear, lack of cultural awareness of US heritage alert beep beep beep! I have no idea what this is about, but if you're willing to sacrifice Lefty it must be worth waiting for. I hope you won't be wasting my British time on this.

Hi Some Girl! I appreciate your concern for my balls and I will do my best to post more footage sans any further detesticlulation.

Lola, sadly, I will be doing my best to waste your British time on this. Just note that Family Feud is a long-running game show here in the U.S. that typically pits two families against each other, trying to guess what the most popular answers were to various survey questions.

Survey says: Awesome!

Though I agree we need to see more.

Please. ;o)

Thank you, thank you. That has really brightened up my monday morning. I can't wait for the next installment!

And note to Lola, I think Family Feud is very much like our Family Fortunes with Les Dennis.
