Being my friend is not an easy gig.
There’s the excessive exposure to Cheez-Its.
The constant photography.
The fear of what I’ll say to people on whom you’re trying to make a good impression.
But lately, the bar to be my friend has grown even higher.
For now, once a week, you must perform.
Like you’ve been captured by the circus, or Sonny and Cher.
Worse than the performance, anything you do will be recorded.
And then shared with the Internet.
‘Cause I’m just that great a friend.
You’re welcome.
Please
Please
Please don’t try the marshmallow trick at home
It’s quite dangerous
And almost gave me a heart attack just watching,
Megan
Why Not Have My Own Variety Show?

Megan, I think life as your friend would be really fun & interesting, and would never, ever, ever get boring!
I think you would make one hilarious and awesome friend…you already do make one terrific blogger!
So out of pure creative genious, I made baked chicken with tabasco cheez-its the other day….and it was EPIC. I thought of you as I enjoyed them. I know you share my husband’s love of the Cheez-it.
That sounds AMAZING. I can’t believe I’ve yet to experiment with Cheez-Its and cooking!
Viral, baby. Viral.
Wow, now that is good stuff. You guys have the same weird brand of fun my friends and I do.
I especially enjoyed the end credit song.
Also, that dress you have is super cute.
Marshmallows – the silent killer.
You ladies ooze talent! Well, entertainment at least.
Giving you a standing ovation here. ::: applause :::
Not quite talent but entertainment – I can’t think of a better description!
I would watch your variety show every single week.
You now have that ability.
And I’m a little behind in the postings (as in, today I posted the 2nd week and tonight I performed the 4th) but you should keep your eye peeled.
Because there’s gonna be one that will interest you.
Quite a show!
Many Tuesday nights I don an organ grinder costume (complete with vest and tiny fez) and crack some cymbals together.
It’s usually a brief performance.
My neighbors don’t seem to appreciate cymbals as much as I do. Surprisingly enough.
Then it’s time for a video camera.
Video cameras don’t judge.
Though YouTube commenters do.
A lot.
This is downright gold – gotta be better than half of what’s on TV anyway
Thank you, so much, for sharing & making me smile.
This needs to go viral.
This is by far one of the best things we’ve done as a group. I love it.
This does not happen often so please take note…
I am speachless!
That was the result I was going for!
Do we get to vote on the winner?
I’m going to have to give mine to Meredith. Flirting with death to entertain her friends should certainly make her the winner.
Ugh. I knew I should have added a sword scene to my performance.
hilarious
You need to hang out with my daughters, especially the 6 and 7 year olds. They are constantly performing. They would provide you with a lot of material.
You are not the first person to recognize that children are my ideal audience!
You’re hilarious! We must hang out!
And now I’m off to buy a bag of marshmallows.
I’m available every single day of the week except for Tuesdays (currently Wednesdays.)
‘Cause I’m wild and crazy like that.
I love this variety show! What on earth are wheat pennies? I’ve never heard of them.
I actually have no idea! I asked everyone for random facts about themselves and that’s what Meredith sent back, though she’s never before shared her love of wheat pennies.
I think I’m going to send in my application to be your friend.
This is awesome.
Application to be Megan’s friend:
Name________
Favorite cheese__________
Amount of bail money available_________
Please attach a photo with excited face.
Application is pre-approved, as Megan cannot afford to be picky.
Sounds like fun!
A questionable friend indeed!
Try the marshmallows another time, but with more than one person. Each person must add one marshmallow at a time, and say “Chubby bunny.” Add a marshmallow, say “Chubby bunny.” Until someone has the most marshmallows and is clearly saying “Chubby bunny” still.
I found a picture of myself with a marshmallow up my nose yesterday (I found it yesterday, the picture was not taken yesterday). I was younger then. But darnit I had fun.
I am slightly traumatized by the marshmallow trick. Other than that, I think you have a hit on your hands. It’s gonna be bigger than Hee Haw. I can just feel it.
WHY WHY WHY on a day when I can FINALLY read blogs, are all my friends posting videos that I can’t watch owing to the sick husband sleeping next to me on the couch???
This is revenge, right? This is how everyone’s getting even with me.
I can tell a plot when it smacks me upside the head like a dead fish.
I absolutely can.
I’m far more evil than people anticipate.
It’s one of my many secrets.
I super glad no one died performing that marshmallow trick (church youth groups everywhere are still mourning the death of the “Chubby Bunny Game” and also, the kids that died playing it.)
Since they’re all still alive and in reasonably good health, are your friends available for rent? They seem far more entertaining than mine.
Uh. That’s “I am super glad…” I understand if this terminates any potential friend-lease agreement.
Trust me – I’m pretty open to rentals and not at all picky.
YES! I am so glad you remember that because I told my friends about youth group and not being allowed to do that and they all looked at me like I was crazy, so good to know there’s someone else out there with those memories!
As one big mouthed girl to another, tell Meredith to never ever show this video to a potential suitor. Personally, I claim TMJ.
Do you think it would traumatize my children if I had them perform a Tuesday Night Variety Show on Wednesdays and put it on YouTube? I’m always looking for new ways to build their little characters…
This was easily one of the funniest things I have seen in forever!!
No.
No it won’t.
Do it.
You know you want to.
I think the backdrop to your movies should change with the seasons. You know, to be festive and stuff.
We clearly think alike, as I have had the backgrounds change!
Great and awesome variety show. You are one hilarious and funny girl. I think we could become best buds.:-) Fantastic show.:-)
Haha, this blog post PROVES that a visit down to see Skye, Megan, and Lindsey is long past due – I’ll see what I can do about that
I know, really! What have you been waiting for?
