I'm not sure I get the joke-as it's pretty obtuse, like something I would do-but all the same I really dug the first minute. It made me think of the opening of a John Carpenter movie. Which may or may not be a very keen astute observation on your part; only the next couple of years will tell us for sure. What the hell was that music, anyway?
Some choice Facebook status updates from LiveJournal's very own shekb...
Shek says: if this was a movie, NBC's ridiculous over-description of the impregnable security would be called 'foreshadowing

And then, because I started it, I decided to add another NBA related song from my youth. In this case, the old "NBA on NBC" theme song that was actually written by John Tesh and titled "Roundball Rock":
So, essentially, it is a "joke" that is a play on Obama being introduced and perhaps because he loves basketball? Anyhow, obscure sports related jokes are usually always doomed to fail.
However, those quotes from shekb are nerdy obscure-ish jokes done right.
I saw that intro any number of times (and I certainly, for example, watched every game of the finals that season against Seattle) but I didn't remember this intro at all. Well done!
I just realized that this seems kinda snarky and shitty, like "I saw that intro and I didn't remember it so what the fuck?"
My last congratulatory sentence is meant sincerely, without snark; I trust, however, that you assumed this, since we like each other and are friends. Or at least, we were before I left that last comment, creating this new rift between us.
Yes, please do. I mean, Obama is supposed to be big about transparency in government so if he means it, he should be okay with us virally spreading the truths around his big day.
So helpful your blog to me. I have got a lot from your blog and it is my opportunity to share the good opinions with you.Hope we can contact more by the email and blog.Thanks a lot.by Air force one
