More fun from the home-town paper

Brenda told me about this one, too. A little more uplifting than the obituary. (If the link above doesn't work, use this one instead.) Neil and I, along with some some other friends all goofed around at the local cable channel making Monty-Python-meets-Not-the-9-o'clock-News news parodies and other non-sensical stuff like "Blind Man's Bluff: a movie about blind people for blind people", which bore the text-only disclaimer at the end that stated, "We apologize to any blind people who may be watching," and "Rocky XXXVIII". And there was the infamously censored "puke scene" where Neil bravely held cold mushroom soup in his mouth only to have the "offending" scene replaced with a flower pot with the word "Censored" superimposed. It was the very same Alex Wilson that Glyn mentions in the article that did the censoring. We decided after the fact that his flower-pot was in fact, accidently, funnier than the actual puking. Honestly! A flower pot? Last I heard Glyn still has all our old tapes from high-school, but they are all on 3/4" VHS and *nobody* uses that format anymore. Jeez, would it ever be funny to convert them all to something digital and share them with the world. For a bunch of Wayne-and-Garth-esque teens goofing-off at the local cable channel we really did go over the top with some of our special effects.

The article also mentions his wife, Tanya. She was on the swim-team with our late friend Devo. Tanya's mom was one of the coaches, actually. Heh. Memories of a small town.
