Two Terrifying Words Made Terrifying-er Together: BABY PREACHERS
We live in a scary, scary world, friends. I was over at Current TV's website, killing time while waiting out Snowpocalypse II 2010, and came across this clip. It needs no introduction other than "these are baby preachers:"
Kate, when people believe in the gift of speaking in tongues, who are they to question the sacred import of a toddler's babblings? Out of the mouths of babes, indeed.
But it all brings back memories. Once upon a time, when I was about the age of the older tykes, I had the idea of being a baby preacher for all of one afternoon. We lived in a tenement and shared a big back yard with several other families. On that one afternoon my brother and I gathered all the kids together and I read the Bible to them, not out of religious fervor but because I liked the sound of things like "Verily, verily I say unto you." Were I inclined to thank a god for anything, it'd be for letting me get that out of my system before video recording was widespread.
Oh wow, Samuel! Your gratitude is my regret--that would've been an amazing vidclip.
Good point, Joan! We have to make sure we're hoarding hair mousse and blue eyeshadow as well. Those are going to be CRUCIAL in the post-nuke wasteland.

Oooh, is it the apocalypse already? I can't wait! Fur bikinis are just around the corner...
I was actually relieved when that video refused to play for me.

Jack, I dub the a party pooper.
See y'all in the post-apocalypse. I'll be the one begging redemption from a midwife.
Can't stand that Max Headroom-esque Current host but they are some great psycho-baby clips there.
