Basil Becomes a Brand!

I need to have this T-shirt. NEED.

Well if you didn’t see this coming, you’re an idiot.

The essence of the American Dream – where a person can do anything he/she wants, even beyond their ability and intellect – is Basil Marceaux, and in his quest to become the next governor of Tennessee (which is so close I can taste it!) he has officially become a YouTube phenomenon and a Carroll Family dinner-table classic conversation.

Of course, people out there want to make money off of this meteoric rise to notoriety, and not to be outdone, Zazzle.com has begun selling I’m Basil Marceaux Dot Com T-shirts. First person to buy me one gets my undying love and devotion (or a hug, depending on my mood).

For a mere $31.45 (random) you too can tell America that we need to “stop slavery at traffic stops” and that a real flag has “three stripes.” Do. It. Up. Go Basil, Go Basil, Go-Go-Go Basil!

The Greatest Generation

Nana at Sloan-Kettering.

My nana’s been in the hospital a few days because her vitals have been a little off from chemo treatments she’s been receiving. While I’m sure it’s scary and very frustrating, leave it to Nana to give her doctor, as well as the entire Democratic party, a hard time:

Doctor: What day is it?
Nana: July 28, 2010.
Doctor: Do you know where you live?
Nana: Center Moriches, NY.
Doctor: Who is the president?
Nana: I’d rather not say.

When asked if she was feeling better Wednesday, the family report back from the hospital was that she was watching Fox News and getting all riled up. She also may or may not take a look at this and smack me for putting her “in the computer box.” I’m thinking of arranging a date between her and the father from Shit My Dad Says.

I love you, Nana.
