    Encourage family members to seek personal space when they need it by telling them the front door’s right fucking there anytime they want to use it.

    Doing our Family thing today......over the years we've done pretty well......no "scenes" since the drunk Uncle show of 1972......survived all the brothers' Ex's over the years.......even my old girlfriend showed up a few years ago and was warmly welcomed........BUT....one brother's "girlfriend" this year may be a fly in the ointment. She seems to breed a bit of discontentment.......she has all sorts of issues with her brothers / sisters so I think she thinks family gatherings are about bitching.....I may have to shut her down early this afternoon! One comment has been made by the "outsiders" (Ex's et al) is that we seem to have had the "Beaver Cleaver" sort of upbringing that a lot of folks envy over the years....even my cousins say so.......lots of laughing and joking......my Dad was a real gem at these functions.....miss him a bit now.....oh well.....off to the merriment! Have a Happy Holiday folks!

    To appreciate the second video you have to watch the first one.

    Are these staged or is this kid for real?

    They sure look convincing. I saw the first one and was convinced it was staged (how was he not able to rescue a single disk? -- he had his hands on them). But those guests at the second one looked more convincing.
    rcarlberg: Is there anything sadder than a song that has never been played?
    Plasmatopia: Maybe a song in D minor that has never been played?

    bob_32_116: That would be a terrific triple bill: Cyan, Magenta and Yello.

    The thing that seemed least convincing was the dinner itself - it didn't look real. Giant plastic bowls, etc. It looked fake, but if it wasn't it was wacky.

    there's several of these "bratty kid in family" videos. I think they are made for the sole purpose of pissing off people looking up the Hybrid Librarian or Unknown Camera Man videos...
