Is this the way to Amarillo?

You have to love British humour. This was first broadcast on BBC 1 Red Nose Night 2005 as part of Comic Relief. The video includes a number of popular British celebrities. It is funny, but not as funny as the version done by some soldiers in Iraq. That video is a lark. So funny in fact, that the number of people downloading it sunk the Army's server. Thank God for You Tube!

Yesterday was National Gorilla Suit Day (NGSD). No, I'm not making this up--MAD Magazine cartoonist Don Martin did, back in 1964. Naturally, there's a full story behind this holiday, and it's been chronicled by my friend, writer Mark Evanier. If you've visited the right websites over the last week or so, you'll have seen various banners promoting National Gorilla Suit Day, which were provided by Mark.
One particular result of Mark's promotion of this wonderful holiday is that a New York City-based singing telegram service, The Furrier Courier, offered free singing telegrams, delivered by someone in a gorilla suit on NGSD, to the first five responders.
Now if only I can manage to talk the powers that be into a National Gorilla Suit Day Google doodle--oh well, next year.
Groo the Wanderer

I love the internet. The world is getting smaller and smaller and it turns out things are really connected. The website mentioned in the last entry belonging to writer Mark Evanier mentions he is a long-time friend of Sergio Aragonés, creator of GROO THE WANDERER. Groo, kind of a dim-witted version of Conan, was one of the first comic books I got hooked on when I was a kid.
