The return of Vlog Santa

He has a few words about the writers strike. Also, his taste in liquor has improved.

Very hearing centric day at mnspeak. vlogs, weather dude, jason's interview with Shelby.

I can read lips.

Nobody has ever seen Vlog Santa's lips. It is believed he has 3 of them.

Since Jason and deFamily couldn't do our PSA this morning, we hired Vlog Santa instead! Actually, it went well. There's some raw footage of me in firefighters gear doing the stairs being edited at Jason's Station right now.

I can't hear people who have facial hair over their lips.

That rules me and my magnificent mustache (which wayne covets) out...

WHAT I CAN'T HEAR YOU?!!

Big problem. My single word comprehension goes from about 85% when I can see the persons mouth, to about 5% when I can't. But I'm still only 15-20% if I have no sound.

And I've never been good at reading lips from a screen.

Bob, your mustache didn't seem to give me to many problems. If you decide to go Sam Elliot Western style, that would be different.

I still haven't seen Brokeback Mountain...is this a line from the movie???

No, it's just that in his westerns, Elliot puts Bob and ned flanders to shame.

:-{)

Doc Hollywood? Is that you?

Mnblrmkr--
I can sit in a noisy restaurant or bar, look at the tv screens with the sound turn down across the room and get 95% of what's being said.

Impressive. How did you get so good? I've never been that good.

Reading lips is how I learned how to speak. I wasn't so always so heary as I am now. My parents noticed that I was looking at their lips a lot and that I didn't turn around when I wasn't looking at them.

So vlog santa is quitting.

Love, Charlie is ending.

What's the point of life? I should have stayed in bed.

ayy, whats da big deal?
my back is goin' out anyways. also, i hate kids.
i'm cookin' up some other kinda gig, my agent says dese computa videos is real hot prooerty.
