Not about TV, but whatever, part 2

I have to steal some of JJ's blog thunder (blunder?) here and share with you all the following YouTube gem: (click here if you want to watch this on a screen larger than 2" x 2".)

Seems ol' Orson Welles was a victim of Marlon Brando Syndrome long before MBS was ever officially diagnosed. Here we have Mr. Welles fatly and drunkenly warbling through a commercial for California champagne, apparently called Pwah Mwahseeyaaair. (So sad. I found him sort of hot at the beginning of Citizen Kane.)

J.J. IM'ed me about these outtakes last night. Following is a brief recap of our conversation.

JJ (on IM): I can't stop laughing
Alanna's cell phone rings
Alanna: Hello?
JJ: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHH!
Alanna: Wow, you weren't kidding.

Alanna said...: No, that makes you *lucky*! I wish I had been around to see this when it first came out.

Checking out your blog... you have some beautiful photos!; 10:28 AM

["Action please?"]
"... Mah, hAaaah--the French Champagne ..."

"And like the best French--[pause,breath]--Champagne it's vintage dated"

Hahaha

Off topic, but if you haven't seen D.O.G. O.B.G.Y.N. from MTV2's Wonder Showzen, enjoy:

This one has it, and it's even better
