Onions

Crying and onions go together like corn dogs and mustard.

Confession: this week's video was a last-minute effort to not miss a Friday video upload. I didn't upload anything last Friday, and I felt really bad about it. Then I procrastinated for another whole week and still didn't have anything by Friday afternoon. So I snatched my tripod, my camera, and a couple of onions and whipped something together. It's not very profound, but hopefully it's entertaining.

I was inspired by Pippin's song from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It is sad and heartfelt, and Pippin cries a little while singing it. (Watch it here.)

I was also inspired by a Spongebob Squarepants episode where Spongebob gets a seahorse. He eventually has to let it go and is emotional about it. The cynical Squidward has no feeling on the matter, but he ends up crying at key moments due to a bowl of onions that mysteriously appears under his face.

I took a bite from the raw onion. That reminded me of an incident involving raw onion eatage in Louis Sachar's book HOLES. Read it if you don't know what I mean. Mmm, nothing like the spicy flavor of fresh, raw onion!

Later as I was riding in the car with Mom and Dad, Mom said, "Phew! Did someone eat an onion?" I admitted that I was the culprit. Apparently my unpleasant, pungent onion breath was permeating the interior of the vehicle. Haha.

Later,
