[funnyordie 8212431415 nolink]Kevin and I made this video (thank you Cat for filming) and showed it at our Cagematch two weeks ago. Previously, our videos had been deliberately overly-cute montages of our childhood photos. This was more of a sketch and even though it went over well, it’s probably not as appealing as photos of Kevin at the age of 12 holding a model of a solar system in our kitchen.
Still, I was glad to do it. For Christmas, Kevin had received a DVD of the He-Man Christmas Special. Brilliantly, they include a montage of the morals that ended each He-Man episode. Watching just the morals — all stilted and weird — was hilarious! I really wanted to do a Brothers Hines version of it, which is what led me to push for us to do the above video. I added in the overtly aggressive religious manipulation because it makes me laugh, because I was baptized Catholic and I associate Catholicism with ham-handed moralizing and maybe also run-on sentences?

Who ARE you?
Jan 15th, 2008 at 11:16 am
All of those posts were fake except the first one.
Kevin, I was kidding. You’re funnier than Will.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 11:18 am
She’s right! The second and third Linda posts were not really Linda.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
The second and third posts were me. I love that someone even for a second thought they were the real Linda. That is hilarious and terrific. My work here is done.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I appreciate your honesty, Tony.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Thanks, but the point was never to deceive anybody. This isn’t “fessing up” so much as “claiming credit.” Those posts are so obviously ridiculous that I was sure everyone would know they were jokes written by one of Will’s friends. I guess people think that Linda is stranger than fiction. Which, I guess, may be true.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Okay, the comment directly above was NOT the real me. I actually do feel ashamed for what I did above. I’ve thought a lot about the guy who wrote those things, and it’s not who I want to be. Linda, I hope you can . . . find it in your heart to forgive me.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
This is getting to be like Battlestar.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
I wish people would just be themselves.
Jan 15th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Tony, of course I CAT forgive you (see what I did there?). You know — for a minute, you really threw me for a loop. The things you wrote, it was like someone broke into my thoughts and spoke life into them, like–like something was stolen from me and put on display. I mean, it’s not bad, I guess, it’s just that – you made me lose track of Who I Was. No one does that. It’s this mixed-up, crazy feeling, and I don’t know what to make of it, but . . . But you owned up to it, and that’s what counts . . . . There’s so much going on in this blog, that sometimes it’s just nice and refreshing to run into someone who’s honest and real.
Do . . . Do you want to get a cup of coffee sometime?
Jan 16th, 2008 at 12:52 am
That one was not Linda.
Jan 16th, 2008 at 10:23 am
1- Whoever wrote the Booyar comment is REALLY funny. Was it Kevin or Will? This will decide the funnier Hines brother!
2- Both Tony comments were pretty good.
3- Battlestar Galacticat or Cat-tlestar Galactica? Whcih one works better??
