I Am A Spoken Word Artist!

We were watching television Sunday evening and came across a new term, which had us both laughing hysterically on the couch. She was a performing artist that had a secondary title of “Spoken Word Artist.” She convulsed around the stage and shrieked all sorts of nonsense that no one could really understand. She vacillated between super loud spouts, followed by quiet random mumblings! What the hell? She get’s paid for this? I AM A SPOKEN WORD ARTIST as of today! Going forward, when anyone has a conversation with me and wants my dramatic response, expect to be billed for the time [rendered services] I spent talking with you. Any questions? Good! I didn't think so.

Turns out she was performing for the Dalai Lama here in Seattle. It was so unnecessarily dramatic, I couldn't stop laughing!

Name that movie line..."I thought the Dalai Lama was a Llama?"

If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure she doesn't get paid that much for her 'services'.

At least we can hope that she doesn't get paid much.

"wants my dramatic response" You mean we have a choice? Why didn't anyone tell me this before! Man - I'm about to break out in spoken word artist right now!
