It’s Good Friday so before I get started with our special Friday Funny Festivities, I want to take some time to wish you all a blessed Good Friday.  Today’s the day my son and I make Resurrection Cookies and read the Resurrection story in the Bible.

Well, as I said, this week is also a very special Friday Funnies week because Foot in Mouth Man’s five year anniversary was this past Tuesday. FIMM began his misadventures five years ago this month!  April 19th, 2006 to be exact.

You can check out FIMM’s very first episode along with several other featured episodes here.  As FIMM’s fame grew we featured him in his very own video:

Later on there were just too many FIMM Misadventures to put them all on our website so we created an eBook with the best of FIMM’s episodes.  You can check it out here.  He also agreed to a radio interview with me several years ago.  You can hear FIMM SPEAK here.  And finally, we started FIMM’s own brand of clothing at cafe press.

It’s been a fun five years, but I am slowly running out of good foot in mouth material and I’d LOVE some help!  If you have a misadventure you’d like submit, please send it to jojo@artofeloquence.com and put FIMM in the subject line.  FIMM entries must be family friendly please.

If I use your episode, you’ll get a mention on our site and on the blog as well as a free Art of Eloquence product!  So…got any great foot in mouth stories?

The Sketch Show: Phobias Video

Phobias and Communication

I laughed so hard at this one, I couldn’t answer the phone when my dd called!  I don’t mean to offend those who have real fears as they have my prayers, but this was just so creatively funny and must have been incredibly difficult to do!

Random Act of Culture

Making a first appearance here at the Video Countdown to CHRISTmas is the Opera Company of Philadelphia “Hallelujah!” Random Act of Culture!

On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating organizations to perform one of the Knight Foundation’s “Random Acts of Culture” at Macy’s in Center City Philadelphia. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ – the world’s largest pipe organ – the OCP Chorus and throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as shoppers, and burst into a pop-up rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah” at 12 noon, to the delight of surprised shoppers. This event is one of 1,000 “Random Acts of Culture”

Music Videos are a powerful form of communication because they involve several of the senses and creative talent as well!  The 2010 Video Countdown to CHRISTmas is even bigger and better than the two previous year’s countdowns had been!  It’s been expanded to two weeks prior to CHRISTmas instead of just one!  Stay tuned each day for all the video CHRISTmas fun!

We begin the countdown with an old favorite: Amazing Grace Video Laser Light Show Extravaganza!  This version, though, is high def so…Enjoy!
