IMAO Reader Theater: “Nuke the Moon”
Elwin presents: “Nuke the Moon”
That’s right, it’s the Xtranormalized version of Frank J. reading his immortal essay.
If you’ve ever met Frank J., you can back me up that this is pretty much how he performs it in real life.
Which he does every day.
SarahK can back me up on that one.
Take a hippie-punch at fame by creating your own IMAO-worthy video at Xtranormal (“If you can type, you can make movies“). Send a link to harvolson-at-gmail.com and I’ll give it a look. If it isn’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, I’ll post it and let the readers throw roses and/or tomatoes at you.

Bravo Elwin!
Great literature never gets old.

While Frank did do this without the use of a teleprompter, I noticed that he did look at the palm of his hand occasionally.
What do you think that means?
February 7th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Don’t worry about that. He was just checking to see if it was time to cut the palm hair.
Other than that, this Xtranormal movie was about the best one so far.

Classic! Enjoyed that completely, thanks for the entertainment. Loved the gesture in the end.

I just had a thought, why do you think some kids today think the moon missions of the 1960s were a hoax, but accept without question the notion that our scientists were able to devise and deploy a city-destroying nuclear weapon in the 1940s? None of them has ever witnessed a nuclear explosion–for all they know, the whole thing was faked!! What if Tojo and Truman and Stalin had conspired to “conjure” such a weapon for the media, calculate numbers of casualties, and negotiate an appropriate peace?
No, no… Doesn’t fit the Anti-US template. Use of the nuke is a distinctly American evil.

How old was Frank when he wrote this piece? Like 22 or 23? He’s the genius that I’m trying to be. I’ve already stolen most of his work, but he always tops me. FrankJ must die so that I can claim the supremacy that I’m due!

9 minutes?
And I see you downloaded State. With paid add-ons. I found State too confounding to manipulate. Sorta like the current admin.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:29 am
No State. No paid add-ons. Just the web site. And patience…

Elwin, thats why the thinkers think, writers write and doers do. I just read, watch and listen.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Thank you Elwin and Frank J. – that was utterly gleeful !
