It's Christmas, and here's a new video I star in

To be fair it's a video that I unwittingly starred in. I don't think I've ever mentioned it on this blog, but when I was in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade I triumphed in the LaPorte County Spelling Bee three consecutive years and earned three consecutive berths in the National Spelling Bee, which is the shit you've probably seen and laughed at for a little bit on ESPN and ABC. I never made it far enough in the bee to appear on national TV, but I did briefly appear in the Oscar-nominated documentary Spellbound, and while a majority of my footage was left on the cutting room floor, you can see a whole six minutes of footage of me at the age of 12 on the special features of the DVD.

Well, at yesterday's family get together my cousin asked me if I was aware that I was on College Humor. I replied that I did, because last March my video Smoke Stoppers 2 was featured on their front page. He told me that he wasn't referring to that, but instead was talking about a video in which two guys pretending to be judges intercut themselves with old footage of the 1999 National Spelling Bee, ripping on the kids and saying horribly inappropriate things to them. Maybe part of it had to do with me being all kinds of Christmas drunk at the time, and the fact that it was me, but I probably laughed the hardest I've ever laughed in my life at this video. I'm the third kid, and it's safe to say I get it the worst:



All I have to say is goddamn. I could see somebody getting really hurt and offended by that. However, I thought it was awesome. Also, if any of you know who made the video, could you do me a huge favor and e-mail it to me? College Humor doesn't say who submitted it, and the three versions posted on Youtube are rips of CH's video, and searching my ass off on Google found nothing, so I'd love you forever if you helped me out on that. I want to congratulate them on a job well done and I think they'd be surprised that I do sketch comedy now too.
