unbibiumBob Saget was a stand-up comedian. He worked blue. A lot. Then he worked for ABC. Then he directed that Norm Macdonald movie nobody saw. Now he's in that Pauly Shore category of former celebrities that people mock. And I can't find any of his comedy albums or anything on amazon.com, if he ever had any. I know he's had at least one HBO special. I've seen it. And the thing I remember was that even when he was telling a dirty joke, he still had the personality of a sitcom father, which lent a tasty bit of dissonance to the performance. Much like his cameo on Half-Baked, which got a great reaction in the theater when I saw it, and the audio of it can be found on your favorite peer-to-peer file-sharing network.

Date: 2002-02-03 10:51 am (UTC)I would be happy to do this, except I've never done this with videotapes before. So some basic tech support is in order, like:
What (Windows) program do I use, and where do I get it?
What hardware (cables, etc.) do I need to connect my VCR to my computer?
Where can I upload a file that big, if it turns out it exceeds my webspace limits?

For starters. But if you don't have all of the hardware, maybe you can just mail me the tape.

Date: 2002-02-04 04:42 pm (UTC)I was going to suggest this, but I didn't want you to think it was a thinly-veiled attempt to stalk you. (I live in eastern Pennsylvania, so it would be a pain in the butt and very expensive, anyway.) That way you can also share in the joy of Bob Nelson and Rita Rudner.
You can email guera@juno.com, or use the ICQ on my userinfo page (just make sure you put something in the reason, since I don't accept messages from people not on my list).
