Like every other American caught up in the thrill of an historic day for our country, a group of us in the sports dept. here at the PG sat gathered around the television watching President Obama's (wow, first time I've typed that -- kinda cool) anyway, about a minute after the speech ends I clearly saw a person waving a Terrible Towel on the CNN feed. It was on for about a second and I blurted it out, but the few other people watching had taken their eyes off the screen.
I knew I didn't imagine it -- so between myriad meetings we've had today, posting news and starting on a zillion other odds and ends to tackle between now and next Sunday, I set about YouTube to try and find the footage and make a screen grab of it if possible. Watched the speech so many times, I practically have it memorized, but COULD NOT FIND IT.
Finally, I found the Twitter status of someone called FireMom that had a link. I jumped from my desk chair in excitement. Then my deskmate, the talented Colin Dunlap says: "Oh. I didn't know you were looking for that. That's been on Mondesi's House for a while."
Was like someone handing you a bottle opener after you already chipped you teeth and bloodied your armpits trying to open a beer bottle (Colin's line). Or something. Argh! Anyway, good work, Don. Looking forward to your posts throughout the next 2 weeks.
But, please reward my labor and check a pic of it here, too:
