The Grapes of Wrath

People go to hell for continually calling attention to this sort of thing -- and for laughing at it, as I have -- but my friend Cara reminded me of it at her blog. So it's her fault. And this video is a couple of years old, which is enough to make it elderly in Internet years, but I had to post it for your enjoyment.

Three reasons to appreciate this video:

1) People falling down = always funny.

2) I have seen a lot of people get injured doing various things, but I have never -- NEVER -- heard anyone make sounds like this. The noise of this lady carrying on is like a crazed basset hound being stomped to death by a donkey in heat, which is, in turn, being ridden by a bleating sheep.

3) In the entire history of awkward fake-perky newscast banter, there is no more awkward banter than those two hosts saying, "Ooooh, gosh. Looks like she's really hurt. I hope she's OK." It is absolutely perfect.

Nothing is more important to me, Cara, than your continued spiritual health.

hysterical and sadly, repentance has not even entered my spiritual or emotional vernacular. what does that say about me? i am carrying the torch friends - just posted this on MY blog, it's too good to not pay forward. thanks to you both!
