The music is a little outdated, but I don't see anything else that's different Wink

Not to far off from Sam Champion's weather promo here in NYC LOL

Thanks for posting that. That's pretty darn cheesy alright.

Tom,

Obviously I don't watch enough local TV. I live in Charlotte and have never seen this. What a hoot! Thanks for the link.

Man, that is fine aged cheese straight from the nozzle sprayed thick on a Ritz cracker! With a pimento on top!

I LOVE this.

It's tongue in cheek enough to be a guilty pleasure.
Holy cow.

COURVO,

I wholeheartedly agree with you about Hot Air Ballooning in your suit. BUT, I can one up ya. Before I retired from the military last month, I NEVER went Hot Air Ballooning without being in FULL DRESS UNIFORM ! If the Balloon Pilot didn't allow me time to go home and get in FULL DRESS UNIFORM before liftoff- then they just had to go without the ole Sarge. I can't IMAGINE anyone going up in a balloon without being PROPERLY dressed. The fashion Police should have given this spot Keys to the City !!!!!!

...great story....

There used to be a certain cache' to such things (evidence the travelers on the cross-Atlantic Hindenberg)... but I don't see that too much anymore.
