Answers and Distractions

Distractions First:  (All links open in a new tab)
The Preshow Birds of Paradise Project (New Guinea, Australia)  <link>
100 years old and still funny, Leno interviews Dorothy Custer.  <link>
Convoy Movie Trailer/Promo <link> Based on the CW McCall Song
Wing Suiter meets his maker <link> Kinda set the stage for the whole presentation!
The Chippendoubles from Britain's got Talent <link> I did not see that coming, and neither did the judges.
Ray Jessel - his girlfriend had a surprise for him <link>
PC Don's Classic Country download page <link>
C.W. McCall's Crispy Critters <link>
C.W. McCall is Bill Fires Jr. and he's really an interesting person.  Started writing advertising jingles, here's one of his first for 'Old Home Bread.' <link>One can really hear his signature style.  There is a web page devoted to him <link> and an interesting story here.  <link>  He's now 85 years old and still singing.  This is a somewhat strange video done just a couple of years ago, "Coming Back for More".  <link>
Would you vote for this Guy?  <link>  Gil Fulbright, the "Honest Politician."  This very funny ad is only half in jest, the crowd-sourced "campaign" is attacking the $100M that is being spent to get either Mich McConnell(R) or Alison Grimes(D) elected to the US Senate.  75%+ of that money is from out of the state of Kentucky.  Here's Gil "I'll do anything for money" Fulbright's website <link> with many more campaign videos.  For only $500 he'll do a video on whatever topic you want!  <link>
The Closing Video - C.W. McCall's Black Bear Road <link> Laney Dee confirms that this road really exists and they have driven it - even before it was paved!
