Oh Thank You, THANK YOU Franklin! For some reason Queen Elizabeth and Albert Einstein are the perfect friends/adversaries. I was excited to see them together again.
I can only imagine falling down having run over a scarf on my roller skates - it would wrap around the axles and trip me and I would need two knee replacements.
Oh dear god! My husband and I are still laughing about the cabled Christmas scarf (seriously, we'll be debating which movie to rent and he'll pull out his robo-Albert impression and say "but I don't need a scarf" and we'll nearly pee ourselves laughing in the video store). Thanks for giving us yet more reasons to appear completely unhinged in public.
"roller skates are completely awesome sauce" *snort*
I identify. It turns out that my husband burnt a cigarette hole in the Noro scarf that I knitted him, as a replacement for the Noro scarf that I knitted him that he left on a train...I suppose that I should just get the message and buy him rollerskates?!
Liz will be here in Perth in October for CHOGAM....I'm sure she will be able to make a dent in the stash. My (non-knitting) Missus and I were both cracking up laughing as we watched this. She can relate to Albert...and I to Lizzie!
oh, that was wonderful, thank you for the laugh, you clearly have been eavesdropping on conversations between my husband and me--including the Christmas scarf!
thank goodness I've learned to put my coffee down before hitting the "play" button. Even a really good cup of coffee isn't so good coming out of nostrils. :-)
It's a pity Albert missed the most logical thing which is put on the roller skates and go to the yarn shop to placate Her Majesty. Because nothing placates the missus more than yarn.
I have to tell you, I haven't snorted my drink since I was a kid at home and my dad used to try and make us laugh at the dinner table!
I've not been on your blog before. I innocently followed this link and hit play. And I was drinking some water. In fact, I was just about to turn it off when I got broadsided by a comment and I now have to dry the water off of my keyboard!
ME: I'm going to the yarn store. HIM: Are you out of yarn (said in snotty, snarky, sarcastic manner.) ME: (Looking him dead in the eye.) Yes. Yes, I am. HIM: Splutter, splutter...no, you're not!! Why would you tell such a bald-faced lie?? ME: Why would you ask a question to which you already knew the answer?? (See the great grammar moment there?) HIM: ...
I made the mistake of sharing this with my children (14, 10, & 4 years). Now when I am trying to be Firm about whatever, they just smirk and say "perhaps you should take a break from breathing" and I begin to giggle helplessly. You are the absolute best.
You really need a warning on these videos - "it is highly recommended to relieve oneself before viewing - management is not responsible if you laugh so hard that you pee yourself".
OMG!! I can't stop laughing. This is SOOO my husband and me!! HA!!! I ditto the previous message (..."comic genius"). I love "It Itches" book. I've read it several times! Keep us knittin' & laughin', Mr. Habit!
I'm almost a month late looking at this, but could barely stop laughing and it immediately came to mind that this is a knitter's version of "Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus." thanks SO much!
You are a total comic genius. Are you this funny in person?
ReplyDeleteFranklin, clearly you live in my house and take notes on all my conversations.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Franklin, thanks for the laughs. The hubs wanted to know what I was laughing at and my only comment was "Franklin."
ReplyDeleteoh how funny! even better than the first!
ReplyDelete"Not long enough" - perfect!
ReplyDeleteOMG I am still laughing!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these!!!! Albert and the Queen!
ReplyDeleteI had a rough day, but not as rough as those two. Good grief this is hilarious on some strange level.
ReplyDeleteTom bought you roller skates? Seriously?

ReplyDeleteI can only imagine falling down having run over a scarf on my roller skates - it would wrap around the axles and trip me and I would need two knee replacements.
Then I would have Sitting Time to knit.
You light up our lives!

Franklin, I took both your classes in Madison. You are an informative teacher. Thank you for the learnings. This is an awesome blog post. Melanie

ReplyDelete"roller skates are completely awesome sauce" *snort*
"Perhaps you should breathe less air". Absolutely the best line ever! Can't wait to use it.
ReplyDeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteIt.
(breathe less air....HAHAHAHAHAHA!!)
It will take 46 years and 3 months to knit all her current stash. Poor dear hasn't achieved SABLE yet.
ReplyDeleteI love the way she knows exactly how long it will take her to knit all her yarn!
ReplyDeleteGods, I'm going to have to send this one to my husband and relatives when they ask about what I want.
ReplyDeleteOf course, that might result in getting some roller skates.
This knitting derby girl laughed until Friday wine came out her nose.
ReplyDeleteI will marry the man who buys me new skates and also yarn for my birthday.

ReplyDeleteI believe her majesty needs to find a pattern for roller skate cozies, in orange, with pompoms.
ReplyDeleteLiz will be here in Perth in October for CHOGAM....I'm sure she will be able to make a dent in the stash. My (non-knitting) Missus and I were both cracking up laughing as we watched this. She can relate to Albert...and I to Lizzie!
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Have to go watch it 42 more times!
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm going to be stealing "awesome sauce" as a catch phrase. I will of course, be crediting you.
ReplyDeleteFranklin, your mind is deliciously disturbed!! Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteI totally love it. It is the perfect start to my day!
ReplyDeleteoh, that was wonderful, thank you for the laugh, you clearly have been eavesdropping on conversations between my husband and me--including the Christmas scarf!
ReplyDeleteHil-fricken-larious! Thanks for the early Saturday (late Friday, whatever) laugh! Now I can do my taxed without losing my funny for the day!
ReplyDeleteThis was a perfect start to my day today. I loved it! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt is scientifically established that Franklin is awesome sauce and a barrel of fun.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI love you. Marry me. Or at least run away with me.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this was hilarious. Thank you for sharing "the voices in your head" with the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteYet another place where I want my Ravelry funny button. The world would be a better place with Ravelry buttons everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the laughter! You brighten my day as few others can.
ReplyDeleteWow, Franklin, this is hilarious! I was laughing out loud and sent the link to all my friends. HAHA! Thanks!
ReplyDeletethank goodness I've learned to put my coffee down before hitting the "play" button. Even a really good cup of coffee isn't so good coming out of nostrils. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, thank goodness for previous "swallow all beverages" training!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity Albert missed the most logical thing which is put on the roller skates and go to the yarn shop to placate Her Majesty. Because nothing placates the missus more than yarn.
ReplyDeleteOh Franklin, I watched this at the public library, and it is very hard not to laugh out loud and get tossed out.
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteFranklin, I adore you. I believe that this concept could be developed into a series entitled "Voices In My Head."
ReplyDeleteI do love them and their fine diction. I hear them speaking now. BTW, was there a birthday or christmas with NO yarn?
ReplyDeleteoh bloody hell! can you see HRH QE2 doing this? yeah, me neither.
ReplyDeletePS - word is "nagging"; how apropos! smooches!
Hope this does not mean someone gave you something as useless as rollerskates for your birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat Amanda said.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to get tickeled by the video and then to read the tag!
I enter a new week with hope - hope that Albert and Elizabeth will be back again. Very funny and full of close observation of the knit-obsessed!
ReplyDeleteI had to post this link to facebook. After all, I will be 40 this year and the last thing I want is Roller Skates.
ReplyDeleteOMG.....I have just cried off all my makeup! That is just hysterical!! Great job! Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, I haven't snorted my drink since I was a kid at home and my dad used to try and make us laugh at the dinner table!

This was funny.
That is megafunny even for my nonknitting family!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very funny!
ReplyDeleteOMG Franklin this is the best video ever! Thanks for cheering up my day!

ReplyDelete"Completely awesome sauce..." Bwahahaha!
ReplyDelete(Even if I misheard that line, it still cracks me up!)
Hysterical! Love it. Thanks for sharing your wit. (PS - I'm going to Iceland!!!)
ReplyDeleteToo many favorite lines to choose just one. Oh, I know! It was when there was NO PAUSE before the Queen said how long before she ran out of yarn.
ReplyDeleteDysfunctional relationship, always happy to watch them, so glad to not be in one!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that was too funny, and so close to home!
ReplyDeleteRecent conversation at my house:
ReplyDeleteME: I'm going to the yarn store.
HIM: Are you out of yarn (said in snotty, snarky, sarcastic manner.)
ME: (Looking him dead in the eye.) Yes. Yes, I am.
HIM: Splutter, splutter...no, you're not!! Why would you tell such a bald-faced lie??
ME: Why would you ask a question to which you already knew the answer?? (See the great grammar moment there?)
HIM: ...
The End
I should make a little movie of my own.
Maybe he needs some pom poms for his roller skates. They might cushion his fall when she pushes him into the street!!
ReplyDelete46 years, 3 months & 11 days -- well, she unquestionably needs more yarn!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I needed that. I love your text to movies!
ReplyDeleteThat was utterly hilarious. and I loved the hand motion when Albert suggested (a tad fearfully) that perhaps her majesty should do some knitting.
ReplyDeleteFunny that someone as brilliant as Einstein didn't see that rollerskating to the LYS was the perfect solution..
I made the mistake of sharing this with my children (14, 10, & 4 years). Now when I am trying to be Firm about whatever, they just smirk and say "perhaps you should take a break from breathing" and I begin to giggle helplessly. You are the absolute best.
ReplyDeleteHilarious!!! Thanks for the laugh.. and I like the voices in your head way more than the voices in mine.....
ReplyDeleteThat was just too funny, and total AWSOMESAUCE
ReplyDeleteYou really need a warning on these videos - "it is highly recommended to relieve oneself before viewing - management is not responsible if you laugh so hard that you pee yourself".
ReplyDeleteI really needed that laugh today!
This might even be funnier than the first one, if that is even possible. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI loved both of them!! too awesome Franklin!
ReplyDeleteI actually had this convo....last birthday with my husband and children. They tried to perform a yarn intervention!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the book "Knit Your Own Royal Wedding"? I suddenly have a weird vision of QEII knitting a little copy of herself.
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me with your wit!!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I can't stop laughing. This is SOOO my husband and me!! HA!!! I ditto the previous message (..."comic genius"). I love "It Itches" book. I've read it several times! Keep us knittin' & laughin', Mr. Habit!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteFranklin: I bloody well love you and your 15 seconds will never be up!
ReplyDeleteEven my husband was laughing! You're a genius!!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost a month late looking at this, but could barely stop laughing and it immediately came to mind that this is a knitter's version of "Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus."
