This is a Greatest Hits compilation, bringing together samples of about 80% of the posts (mostly impressions) on this blog. All run together like this it is pretty friggin' weird. The voices, in order, are: Woody Allen, Larry the Cable Guy, John Wayne, Paul McCartney, Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca), Marty on Marty's Hour of Talk, the Mad Hatter, Yogi Bear, Kermit the Frog, a distressed muppet, Piglet, Elmo, Droopy Dog, Pee Wee Herman, Julia Child, Yoda, Jack Kennedy, President Obama, Darth Vader, Christopher Walken, Sean Connery, Edgar the Alien (from Men in Black), the archetypical classically trained actor, and Daniel Day-Lewis (in There Will be Blood). All the voices are me; all the sounds are not.

Meta-Post: Hiatus

I have been out of commission for the past week on account of a sore throat—that most obvious and menacing of maladies for a dude who makes silly sounds with his voice. But it's almost entirely better, and new posts will be up soon.

Derry Murbles was immediately one of my favorite incidental characters on Parks & Recreation—and then all the more so after I realized that he's played by Dan Castellaneta, who voices a substantial percentage of the characters on the Simpsons, including Homer.
