My personal favorite...my son and seven friends performing a brilliant synchronized swim routine without water.
I AM SO PROUD!!!
The only thing to mar my joy was a blockage directly in front of me that obscured my view of 1/3 of the stage. It looked something akin to this

Do you remember this movie? "So I Married An Axe Murderer" contains the finest description of large headedness ever recorded.Stuart: Look at the size of that boy's heed.
Tony: Shhh!
Stuart: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick
Tony: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart: Well, that's a huge noggin, That's a virtual planetoid.
Tony: Shhh!
Stuart: ...has it's own weather system
Tony: Shhh!
Stuart: HEED! MOVE! I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts. Oh, now that was offside wasn't it? He'll be cryin' himself to sleep tonight on his huge pillow.
I had my own personal planet orbiting in front of me at the talent show, but since I am trying very hard to be a cheerful, positive person I cranked my neck like a periscope to see around him and thought of all the useful things inherent in a ginormous cranium
- no one can stretch out your hats
- room for brain swelling in case of a blow to the head
- weight gain may create pleasing symmetry
- snap judgment=assumption of intelligence
- makes a big nose look almost dainty
- provides shade in the sun and shelter in the rain for the rest of the body
- larger surface area makes it easier to head the ball playing soccer
Well now, I feel much better about large noggins. Don't you?

So what's the deal? No video of the waterless synchronized swimming routine? Crap. I would have been there had I known.
Waterless synchronized swimming! Classic!! Wish I could have seen it. Too bad about the big head :(
I feel better about my own heed now. thanks
I seem to be a magnet for BIG heads sitting in front of me at sporting events, movie theaters, church, concerts, you name it. I have never thought about the poor person who has to carry it around. Thanks for teaching me about compassion. Although I do like the idea that a large head might make the largest of noses seem dainty! Hahahaha!!
Swimming without water is awesome.
I love that movie. The scene at Alcatraz is great.
Came to say hello and thank you for following my blog and discovered a hilarious and entertaining blog here. I'm delighted to 'meet you'. Obviously I have signed up to be your latest fan/follower and now I'm going for a rummage through your posts. (If you don't mind!)

Yep, as long as they're not in front of ME.
;)
PS. My hubby and the rest of his bishopric did that synchronized swimming thing at the singles ward talent show. It was a riot!
Yeah- no video? I'm disappointed. SIMAAM (my acronym for that movie) is one of my favorites. My brother and I always quote the Phil Hartman part where he's giving the prison tour.
Sorry about the planetoid-head in front of you.
Brad cites "ginormous cranium" more frequently than I can appreciate.
I would have liked to have seen the routine. You didn't happen to video it, did you?
Swimming without water has it's merits and is the only way I know how, being from California and all. You know that phrase, "makes a big nose look almost dainty", love it!
omg I had a friend in high school who would do that scene because he sounded just like Mike Myers!! too funny
