Tall Tale Tuesday: Stephen Colbert, & Wednesday Riddles
I missed Tuesday, but we’ll make up the Tall Tale today.
A Tall Tale is a legend about a larger-than-life hero, generally doing something deeply crazy, like riding tornados or freezing lanterns and so forth, which shows, in general, how ballsy and ingenious the given hero might be. Today’s Tall Tale is about, and dedicated to, a real-life Tall Tale hero — Stephen Colbert.
You folks might recognize the name from Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, their spoof of right-winged pundit “news” shows. It’s a spin-off from the Daily Show. The host of the show, Stephen Colbert, was recently invited to do a bit at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.
I’ve seen the videos and read the transcript, and I must say, Mr. Colbert has balls the size of the fucking moon, and his speech was sheer genius. He blasted the press and the President. It was scathing, hilarious, and beautiful. I now love Stephen Colbert. He is, indeed, the Man. In honor of Stephen Colbert’s gigantic balls and resulting hilarity, I give you your Tall Tale for the day: the transcript of his speech, and two videos of it, Part One, and Part Two. Enjoy.
And now, from Riddlenut, your Wednesday Riddles:
