4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

I agree, BtD. It has scope. It has reach. It has panoramic perspective. It has pickled weiners.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

|) In my opinion, I think it was okay. After I heard it, I thought it was a parody of John Denver or something. I thought Albuquerque was more dramatic, but bbtm was more Al-ish.

:lol: Well, you gave it a try. That has to count for something. I'd actually like to see the Twine Ball. I'm afraid it'll never happen, though. :(

Favorite quote from this past Sunday's sermon: "I'm sure you'd all like to see the video of our Minnesota vacation and the largest ball of twine."
