Videos for Thanksgiving Week – 2009

First Video - Beautiful winter pictures taken at Island Park Idaho to the music of We Gather Together. Island Park in eastern Idaho close to the Montana and Wyoming borders – the video is as close to snow and ice as this Arizonan wants to be. Enjoy.

Second Video – this is the second annual showing of this fun film created by MentalLapse. It’s as funny to me this year as it was last year and I have a feeling it will be on this blog in 2010 as well. Here is what its creators have to say:

Thanks to all for the wonderful comments. I’m glad this has entertained so many of you. It was a lot of fun to make. I’m not responding to comments but I am reading everything posted. Thanks also to YouTube for featuring it on Thanksgiving Day 2007, and most importantly, I want to thank TheFamousStacie. She brought this video to the attention of the powers that be so check out her channel.http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=T…

“Wild Turkey” by Ron Delano  http://cdbaby.com/cd/rondelano
Most of Ron’s music has a soothing acoustical guitar sound. This is the only one that is remotely bluegrass.

Just to answer a few of the questions I’ve seen: We like pumpkin pie so it wasn’t wasted, yum. It took about 6 hours to take the 380 pictures. I don’t have that much motivation so the movie’s frame rate is from 2 to 10 frames per second but the majority is 6 frames per second. The infamous item that appears and disappears at 50 seconds is a container of chicken for the little dog who has stomach cancer. The turkeys weren’t the only one’s who were hungry. I have to say that watching this mystery unfold in the comments was pretty entertaining. I guess it falls under the category of “you get what you pay for”, lol.
The cat wasn’t beaten, we sat it down and gave it a stern lecture, lol

Third Video with Billy Crystal and Robert de Niro. No words need be used here. Just enjoy.
