The Letterman Sleepy Kid Clip!
I don’t know whether this is elsewhere online by now, but my sticktoitiveness on this has paid off, because Rajesh Valluri has valiantly answered my plea and risked serious jail time by infringing on CBS’s copyrights and posting to his rather kludgy web site (don’t let the John Denver sound track put you off) the Letterman clip of the sleepy kid I’ve been blogging on about all week. The best part was, Rajesh came to me, I didn’t have to keep searching for it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rajesh. Click the link above, pause “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” and check out the two clips in the top frame of the site, and then laugh, laugh, laugh. You’ll thank me, and Rajesh, when you do.
UPDATE:
Okay, even I am getting a bit bored of this at this point, but you start a thing, you have to follow it up. I hadn’t watched Letterman the second half of the week, but he has since gotten an apology from CNN for their mis-reporting on the story, and he’s had the sleepy kid on as a guest, clips both of both of which are now in the archive of Letterman’s site.

I don’t think sicktoitiveness is a word. Although it is descriptive, and you certainly have it.
Kludgy seems like an appropriate adjectival form of kludge. However, Webster denies.
PN +2.
yo yo, thanks for appreciating the clips. however, the adjectives used to describe my site are rather funny. maybe you can help me out in fixing the site. all I have on my PC is a MS frontpage, and i learnt to use it by trial and error. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pablo, one points. Should have been “sticktoitiveness.” Webster prefers “stick-to-itiveness,” but that’s ass.
As for kludgy, Urban Dictionary has my back.
Rajesh, my main advice to you would be to lose the HTML frames. That’s so 1997. You might also want to consider turning it into a blog if you’re interested in updating it regularly. Blogger.com is a good tool to start with. It’s free and a lot easier to set up than Movable Type, which is what I use. MT is better but if you’re just starting out, Blogger makes it easy.
hey bruner,
finally i started to move away from the old fashioned frames and building a site from scratch. i wanted to remove the old site alltogether but i felt nostalgic before i hit the delete button, so i left it alone…..
my new site is http://www.reviewstuff.com
