Mercy Sakes Alive

Looks like we got us a ConCom.

I saw this when I got in to Fernley tonight, making excellent time. (300 miles in six hours even with traffic slowdowns in Sacramento, although not the freeway-strangling mess of last week.)

I want to perform this one somewhere. It's too long for a Masquerade entry, but boy it would be fun!

I am impressed. Yes.

Doug's starting to get a little frightened by the reception this is getting....

That is impressive. It sounds like alot of things that happens in any fannish con planning.

I don't know the original song, but I might find this funny if I did.

I regret that, as you say, it's too long for a masquerade entry. I would like to see customs changed to allow longer masquerade entries. I don't think that total event lengths are too long, even for worldcons nowadays, and there's lots of costumes I'd like to look at for longer than the fifteen seconds or so it often takes an entrant to flash across the stage.

The icon is the truck I used to drive for work.

And here's a version with C.W. McCall performing it. This was what set of the CB craze of the 1970s, of which I was a participant.

David B - Trust us, it is funny. Doug did a great job of creating the feel for the original song in this filk.
If we wanted to do it in a Masquerade, we would have to get special dispensation from the Masquerade director. They have been known to do it if they have a good reason. We might not be allowed to do it in competition. But we'd be doing it for the joke anyway.
