Jolly Fun

I am pleased to report that, as occurs from time to time, Bill Maher has again found space on his show, "Real Time With Bill Maher", for making inside-references for my benefit. I will let the videoclip included with today's blog speak for itself.



Additionally, I found that the June 25th "Tonight Show", which was the first "Tonight Show" to have the chance to react to my June 25th blog (which included my reaction to the June 22nd "Tonight Show", which included their reaction to my.... I think I've done enough recapping), contained inside-references to my June 25th blog. These particular inside-references are far from self-apparent to those who haven't carefully followed things. However, once one tunes in on the history of this (which goes back years and years), one accepts that there is a shorthand, and so one doesn't require everything to be spelled out.

Specifically, my June 25th blog, which discussed "The Tonight Show" of June 22nd, featured me on video speaking with some kind of strange New Jersey accent, and then an English accent, breaking character with wild abandon. On that night's "Tonight Show", both Conan and Max did their New Jersey accents. Later, a guest (English) discussed how his daughter starts sentences with an English accent and then breaks out of it, due to exposure to the U.S. and us what talks without English accents. While I am fully aware that discussion of accents is common, nevertheless, owing to the proximity in time to my Jersey and English accents, and "The Tonight Show" being where these particular references to accents occurred, I believe I am recognizing an actual and not an imaginary shorthand. Add to this the idea of an accent strangely fading in mid-sentence - again, something which I recognize comes up here and there, but exactly how often?

This has all led me to an important idea, which you must tell everyone about, yet keep secret, yet tell everyone about, I'm not sure how: Everyone in the U.S. must start speaking with an English accent, in order to can confuse the North Korean President Kim Jong Il. If we are convincing enough, he will wonder where the U.S. has disappeared to, and imagine us to be Great Britain. He will not bomb us if we all disguise ourselves, by which I mean, if we all disguise who we are through how we talk. Furthermore, as the 4th of July approaches, the 233rd anniversary of our victory over England, no American should still be harboring ill feeling towards the English, or at least not their accent. One loose tongue and it may doom us all.
