I’m a hero. And no, I don’t mean I’m a long tubular sandwich, although the fact that I’m not should put to rest once and for all the notion that you are what you eat. I mean I’m now an actual American hero. I’m in league with the likes of John Glenn, Abraham Lincoln, and Superman. My time has come. I have arrived.
I know I’m a hero because I’ve been recognized by a major celebrity on national television as one of our nation’s heroes. And it only cost me $50.
This screen capture came from last night’s Colbert Report where Stephen faithfully acknowledges those who contribute to his SuperPAC by shamelessly pandering to them. This is also evidence that I’ve fulfilled the promise I made to my kids last month that if I was lucky enough to sell my ancient boat for a fair price that I’d send a donation to the organization dedicated to making a better tomorrow tomorrow. Done and done.
It’s not at all clear my kids really care about this, nor is there any obvious connection between boat sales and snarky political activism. It’s perhaps more that I’m prone to the unwarranted linking of disparate thoughts running through my brain after 11pm. But at least I follow through on them.
okay…that. is. fantastic. 🙂
YAY! I’m with a celebrity now…
Yea, Tim you’ve made it now, the checks will start flowing in now!
The truly amazing part may be that I actually noticed my name go across the screen. The donation was weeks ago, and it’s not like I’ve been watching for my name every night. In fact, usually I fall asleep at about that point in the show. But not last night, and there it was!
Maybe your name was on before and this was another Tim Nichols. Hmm?
There can be only one!
Only a matter of time. Fab.
awesome. worthy cause for sure.
Colbert is hilarious. The Word is one of my favorite parts of any show I’ve ever seen. By the way, isn’t the sandwich spelled ” gyro “?
Ummm… there is a “gyro”, but I was referring to a Hero sandwich… also known as a Hogie, Grinder, Po’Boy, or a Sub (submarine) depending on where your from.
OK, I guess they’re two different things. Anyway, I hope Colbert will subscribe here, and blog with us 🙂
