Okay, SNAP OUT OF IT ALREADY. Enough blubbering and boo-hooing over the rain and the Dow crashing a kazillion points, and how this economic crisis is finally going to force you to get a job. In my new series “I’ll Give You Something to Cry About, Crybabies” I will be giving you something to cry about, crybabies! Like for example this video of a young James Earl Jones reading the alphabet on Sesame Street.
Go ahead… watch it. And CRY, BABY, CRY!!

If you’re too much of a crybaby to sit through the whole thing, I’ll tell you how it ends after the jump. SPOILER ALERT!!

He says, “Z.”

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. I love how he seems to have very distinct and strong opinions about each and every letter of the alphabet.

    B = “I do not like how you are standing in the way of C you fucker”

    G = “I’ve been waiting for this letter all my damn life”

    J = “J is a motherfuckin asshole and I’m going to wipe it’s ass all over the floor”

    L= “what the FUCK is this letter doing here?”

    M= “What? M is here too? Unbelievable. Goddamn motherfuck.”

    P=”I am going to try my best to not make this letter in any way refer to urine. It is not a respectable way to behave.”

    U = “Yes, YOU. bitch.”

    W = “Ah, finally, the only multi-syllabic letter of the alphabet, my favorite. A chance for me to really fuckin shine in all my oratorical glory.”
