Two Christmases ago, Melissa's mother took Elliot to Build-a-Bear as a present. Elliot had a really good time- he made a panda which he named (...wait for it, you're going to be surprised...) Panda. A good time was had by all.
I made a video of the proceedings with the Flip camera Melissa got Ellen and I for Christmas.

As videos go... you know, I'll say this. WE had a very good time at Build-A-Bear, but I don't know if I truly captured the majesty and wonderment that only Hoovering a bunch of cotton up the ass of a deflated teddy bear. In short, this is probably the most fucking boring YouTube clip you'd ever want to see. Lots of people standing, mumbling, cotton being blown around. You get the idea, it's not exactly compelling viewing.
So why did I post this? It's weird. That YouTube clip has gotten something like 1500 views in the last two years. I think I've watched it, maybe once. I didn't even rewatch it all again when I posted it here. I know Elliot's grandparents probably watched it once or twice apiece. Ditto my sister and Melissa. That accounts for somewhere between 30 and 40 views.
WHERE did the other 1470 people come from who give a crap about this long, boring video? It's crazy!
