Yip-Yip-Yip-Yip-Yip-YipYipYipYip!! Uh Huh.
Needing to be reminded why I will be moving to a new job within the next week, I spent most of Friday sequestered in a conference room perusing royalty statements. And around hour number 6, close to the end of the day, I was nearing the end of my proverbial rope.
That’s when the Yip-Yips started up. I don’t know if it was the constant affirmative answers I was giving as my coworker read the totals against my printed copies, or if it was something I ate for lunch, but before I knew it, I was responding to questions in the style of my two favorite characters from childhood, the Yip-Yips. And thanks to the magic of youtube, I can now recycle my childhood and present it to you in all its compressed-digital, VHS-copied glory!!
This was the first one, a classic, featuring some of the best onomatopoeia I’ve seen come out of Sesame Street in quite some time. As first contacts go, good effort!!
The Yip-Yips return, though they are still unable to find a sentient life form on this planet. Not that that stops them…
For on their next visit they discover the computer. Thankfully they are interrupted before they are exposed to the terrible time-wasting properties of the internetz.
Of course, if anyone is going to make first contact with the Yip-Yips, it’s going to be Kermit…

Doh! You caught my pingback with a ridiculous misspelling of dutifully. I can’t get anything right this week.
