I promise to honor, obey and watch AFV
I know that I have addressed Will's America's Funniest Home Video obsession before but he has had a flair up as of late. To try to recreate this you can go to this site:
http://abc.go.com/fsp/index.html?channel=AmericasFunniestHomeVideos
watch the people getting hurt in different ways and laugh so loud that the neighbors can hear you. Start crying and shaking your head no and choke out "I can't ... I can't"
I will be sitting in my office and hear things like, "Michelle! Come quick! This dog is break dancing!" and "You HAVE to see this one ... here, I'll rewind it"
I have now taken to reading the paper in the same room while he is watching this so I can "share" in his love for AFV (as he calls it)
I secretly recorded Will one night while he was watching this and sent it to Katie but perhaps we will be able to watch some episodes at Christmas b/c honestly ... I've never seen anything like this ...

I love that you still have it! =) I forgot to mention that perhaps the greatest thing about the whole scene is that Will is usually reading The Economist,
Pablo Neruda or a novel written in French at the same time is watching this mess. I guess there is something to be said for always keeping your signifigant other guessing ...
I guess I should ask you guys if Will has always laughed hardest when others are in pain?
let me think..........it seems to me that Will laughed uncontrolably at people when he was with his buddies Matt and Shane. But I think it's in his gene pool to have this trait (weakness, sickness, disorder, whatever you want to label it). I laugh at terrible things too and so did Tom. We are awful people, generally speaking. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Fortunately for them and their loved ones, our girls didn't inherit this gene. They laugh at only the most sophisticated material. And I am sad for them. Indie, please bring the funniest home video of the funniest home video home for Thanksgivng so I can laugh at Will laughing.
Slap stick could be no more true than the coincidental capturing of a fumbling amature on amature video. What I mean is I honestly can't help it!
I think other's pain is only part of it. It's failure! Loss of composure. That which everyone so dreads happens to happen.
For instance, wedding mishaps are terrific! Sudden trips and stumbles when in austere composure. I love it!
To tell you the truth, I always turn it on thinking, "Naw, it can't be that funny; I mean it was funny last time; I mean I almost died laughing; I mean I got a god ab workout... got my sixpack; but it can't be that funny."
And then I turn it on. And I mean the show just proves itself all over again. I can't believe it sometimes. I'd hate to say it's a guaranteed laugh, but it never fails.
gosh...it's almost worth me getting cable....
Yeah, when you ask the DVR to record AFV suddenly you have like 10 episodes.
It proves that I'm not the only one! That show is on all the time. And the reruns are just as funny. They're timeless!
Sometimes I see an episode that I've seen before and I get to laugh again... at the same thing!
But, what's with your cable and internet stuff?
I mean you should at least get internet. I understand if you don;t want cable tv.
Otherwise you have no reason for a computer at teh house.
OMMM...my house is a place of peace and serenity. No cable, no paper, no internet. You're right....the computer I have is going to waste....except I can watch DVD's on it so sometimes it gets used for that....and sometimes, solitaire. This technology-less environment is working for me.......and I'm hardly ever home anyway....and when I am, there's reading, meditating and praying to do.
DO....very definitely.........
