pudge's Journal: "Schrammie" Acceptance Speech

I won the Schrammie today. You can read or watch Ken Schram's opinion of me, and see or hear the object of his outrage, the song I wrote called "Osama Bin Laden, You Ruined My Birthday."

Tonight I posted my acceptance speech on YouTube.

The speech is primarily in the form of a song I wrote a year or so ago. However, I wrote the second verse today.

So Ken, bend over and take your bow, because the second and last verses are for you.

I like it.

Nice song. Oh, and if you are clever, use Firefox, and go to your cache directory you can find a 4.39MB file in there that when renamed with an flv extension will have Ken Schram's video.

Happy hunting!

Congratulations

I like the song that won you the Schrammie, congratulations. But an entire song for an acceptance speech? Oh no, this clearly shows you've gone Hollywood. :-)

Heh. Yes well, I wrote the song awhile ago. So it's not like I wrote the whole thing for the speech, just one verse. :-)

instead of this
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
etc..

it became this;

Jethro
has taken my pride
taken my soul
stolen my Grammy

Thanks. All of my equipment [pudge.net] is listed on the web site. In this case, Studio Projects B1 mics.

Oh, I need to update that, it says I have a PowerBook. It's a MacBook Pro now (that's the camera I used). I used the mics through the MOTU and then using LineIn set the two mics to output to Soundflower, which became the input for QuickTime Player. Works pretty well.

Man, as soon as I read your reply I realized you had told me that before. Sorry for duplicating the question... It sounds really good.

I do recall that, but not being a Metallica fan, I found it to be more funny than angrysad. :-)
