MY PRESS RELEASE TO CLEAR UP A FEW THINGS
Okay, here is a slightly different spin on the “Name That Country” game I played here in my blog recently. Again, I didn’t think of this idea, but am borrowing it from someone I knew years ago on MySpace. Same idea with this game. Here are some pictures of an animal. I give you a […]
Some random stuff that’s been happening lately. The title was just an attempt to pull together in a single sentence the three themes below. * * * Last week, I was out and about and quite hungry, so I went to wonderful Asian Buffet place in Lynnwood for lunch. This place is AWESOME and not […]
Given the tremendous influx of European immigration to the United States in the latter decades of the 19th Century and early decades of the 20th, like many Americans, I can trace my ancestry back 5 or 6 generations, but there it pretty much stops. From there back, my heritage essentially becomes countries of origin; names of people replaced by nations. I know my ancestors came from Germany, Poland and Ireland and a small handful of other nations, but when I try to use genealogy to answer Stuart’s question of “Who Am I?”, what insight could examining this diffusion of nationalities, each somewhat different from one another, possibly offer me? If I want to understand my own personal culture, my heritage shaped by the cultures and circumstances of my ancestors, if I am 9/16th’s German, 5/16th’s Polish and 1/16th Irish, does that mean my individual heritage is influenced along those same proportions? Am I going to need a calculator to figure out who I am and where I come from? Such is the challenge facing a Diffused American.
Okay folks, I need your help. By midnight tonight, I need to submit my bio to the assistant director of the show that I am in. This is what is going to go into the program next to my name and picture. What should it say?
I’ve decided not to use my actual biography. Instead, I’d rather set the mood for our comedy with a mostly inaccurate tale of who I am. Below you will find the four bio’s I have composed for this purpose. I will submit whichever one you think is the funniest. So vote A, B, C or D. Note also that each of the four contains one little bit of accurate information. Can you spot that too?
It’s 28 minutes long, but I’m mostly just in the first part. We had a sit down in the college’s video studio where we talked about the play I’m going to be in… Puget Sound Residents! Note the dates and time!! You don’t want to miss my live drag debut, do you? TASO Production Preview […]
From what I‘ve heard, I am not the only one out doing this right now, so if you see something similar to what I’ve done in the video below, do not panic. I’m curious if the folks at the Goodwill and other thrift stores are wondering what’s up with the uptick in business these last few days.
Enjoy the prank. I think I’ll wake up early and head up to the corner to see if I can catch any interesting reactions.
