WordNerd’s Writing Be Crazy! WordNerd’s Writing Be Craaaaaazaaaay!

IP and I stayed up until midnight, laughing about SNL’s Obama variety show spoof. We kept on singing the Jeremiah White/Bill Ayers/Gnarls Barkley spoof segment to one another: “White devils be crazy! White devils be craaaaaazaaaay!” When IP called me this morning at work, I didn’t answer with a hello. I answered with some more singing: “White devils be crazy! White devils be craaaaaazaaaay!”

When I noticed that a former stalker of IP’s (seriously; I should have IP do a guest post on this subject) might have hit our wedding website, I communicated to him that, perhaps, “IP’s stalker be crazy! IP’s stalker be craaaaaazaaaay!!!!!” IP answered:

“Groove is in the hea-arrrt! Groove is in the heeeee-aaaaa-aaart!! [just trying to finally get the be crazy song out of your head....]”

To which I responded:

“I *like* the white devils song, thankyouverymuch! In my head it stays!”

Sorry, it’s just funny, especially the way that the comedian playing Ayers looks at the camera at the end of the segment.

In all seriousness, I’ll be relieved when Tuesday gets here; even if I’m in line for hours I’ll be happy that the election is nearing its end. Not only will one of my events be over, but what seems like the longest campaign season during my lifetime will finally check out (unless the results are contested and are in legal limbo for a while — please Sweet Zombie Jesus, no!). I truly hope I’m heading downtown for the inauguration next January; if not, you’ll find me “working” from home that day (translation: drinking heavily, sobbing and persuading IP that moving to Mexico might not be so craaaaaazaaaay).

In the meantime, I’m going to figure out a way to work “Wedding vows be crazy! Wedding vows be craaaaaazaaaay!” into our wedding ceremony.
