This theme was doing nothing for me, and I was planning to sit it out this week. But late last night something occurred to me; I grabbed the camera and decided to do my famous [sic] impressions. I promise I'll never do this to you again!
"I am not a crook!" Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon
"Bully!" Teddy Roosevelt, inspired by my American History professor in college, who loved to do Teddy impressions.
Ebenezer Scrooge, counting his money.
Oh yeah... This is a piece of felt, just to cover the other theme.After all that, you probably already know what video is coming. Yup, Rich Little, the King od the impressionists. Enjoy!

PS - Just so nobody panics when they don't "see" me over the weekend... I'll be out of town from early Friday morning to late Monday afternoon. We're throwing an 80th birthday party for my Mom, and I'll only have a dial-up connection where I'll be, so I'm not planning on being online for the duration. Don't worry, be happy!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you make me laugh!! I knew Nixon right away. You're the best. Remember Rich Little's "A Christmas Carol"?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the birthday festivities. Safe travels.
Cool post! Happy B-day to your mom!
ReplyDeleteOnce again great post Roy! I know Nixon right away and Roosevelt too. Birthday wishes to you momma from Oregon!
ReplyDeleteI've used the "Tricky Dick" one quite often meself, heh, heh...Kudos and Happy Birthday to your Mom :)
ReplyDeleteSuper impressions! I knew the first two immediately! :) Happy B day to your mom! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha you're a funny man alright and well done for weaving in the 'felt'. Have a great weekend. I'll have to catch up on your previous post tonight!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the photo of the hand in the shirt, my mind went to Napoleon but it's totally Teddy. Great take, never thought about those kind of impressions. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! You made this Brit laugh. I have to say, tho' that that 2nd pic is just a little scary...... :D
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Nixon was my favorite, until I got to the "felt" one. Clever, as always!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Old Tricky Dick.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteI for one, am impressed!
ReplyDeleteHave a great birthday party for your Mum. Mine turned 86 this past year and she's doing great!!
(I really like the "Bully!!" shot... though I have to admit, I first thought: " why is he doing Napoleon with his mouth open?") ha ha ha ... then I read the caption...
This is awesome. I loved it--you have an incredibly expressive face!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that's fantastic. What a GREAT idea for today.

ReplyDeletevery impressive!
I do believe all the concepts you've offered for your post. They're very convincing
ReplyDeleteand will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts
are very short for novices. May you please extend them a bit
from next time? Thanks for the post.
