The Daily Alison (Day 5; Wherein I interview Dave Hill about moths), Parts 1 and 2

Today is a special day in vlogland because this video supersized itself and there was some overage captured in part 2. It’s like this vlog has a muffin top. A soup muffin top. (Soup muffin being a reference which only people who read the post about soupy muffins will understand.)

So, yeah. Parts 1 and 2. I probably could have edited this all down but you see, editing isn’t what I’m all about. Not editing is what I’m all about.

So enjoy these videos. Or try, at least.

Part 1:

But wait, there’s also Part 2:

Need more info on Dave Hill? I think you probably do!

    “MOst educational Vlog ever…..”

    I got the same fortune that Joe got. What an odd coincidence.

    Actually, I googled fortune cookie, and came up with this site: http://www.chinaunique.com/cookie/fortune.htm

    That probably won't come out as a link. Maybe one of you fine folks will fix that? Anyway, my fortune read, “Romance comes into your life this year in a very unusual sort of way.” That certainly makes one wonder about the possibilities. Maybe a woman is going to parachute through my roof.

    The vlogs with Doug Benson and Dave Hill were amusing, although they both sounded like they just woke up. You could make a whole series of “Interviews with comedians when they're not being especially funny.” Fortunately, you were, though.

    I thought I'd take a moment to push the Alison guest vlogs thing. Watching these, and seeing how Ted and Toddrod and everyone would like to win such a contest, I was thinking that I'd really enjoy hearing everyone being interviewed on the phone this way. The different personalities could be funny. Maybe you can come up with a donation fee, and everyone who donates gets a call at some point, and the contest could be for who goes first, or something.

    I had a Fortune form a cookie laying around my needing to be straightened up desk that I thought you might like to hear and it appies to you.
    “People like having you around”.
    MAN…..Some fortune cookies have really lost that… uh, I dont know, fortune telling ability, or even the ability to pretend to know what fortune is. But this is a good comment and I did enjoy the complement. Here is some more whacky non- fortune telling fortune cookies I have seen as of late if anyone is to be interested.
    “you are the life of any party”
    “you are careful and systematic”
    “you are a considerate and thoughtful person”
    “you have a good head for matters of money”

    OK, now that last one has money in it so it kinda is about fortune but its not telling me something I dont already know. ; )
    More….K just 2.

    “The sun will shine through your heart and warm your soul”
    Awh…. This one is sweet and it actually tells me about something that’s supposed to happen. I think it just sounds too recycled. But it's more what I'd expect. I thought they had truly run out of Ideas once I saw this last one.

    “Great fortune is coming your way”
    Hey at least I know it will be GREAT and I got my fortune form Tony the Tiger.
    Well if nothing else I know I'll be around to have a fortune.

    Look I understand that fortune cookies and street phycics are supposed to be intrinsically hokey, but I still feel like someone along the way just stopped trying. Or maybe I expect too much?
