First Descent Chilton

I’ll bet you think this song is about you. Don’t you? Don’t you?

So when I first thought of running a little water feature in Chilton, Wisconsin I really hadn’t thought of filming it. Then I thought of filming it, but then talked myself out of it. This must be how Woody Allen feels. Then I started thinking about all those videos with those young ego driven lads sneaking into National Forests to get that “first run” and the follow-up video. Then I thought of Chilton. So I thought about the camera again. Then I thought . . . what if someone thought I was serious?

    Sitting here at WORK!!!! laughing out loud–drew a crowd and put it on my speakers, rather than the headphones, so all around could enjoy.

    Now to figure out a way to put it on the big screen in the “presentation room” with the nice leather chairs, dimmed lights, large rear projection screen. . .maybe I could send it over the network during someone’s presentation.

    Better not I guess, I need this job.

    Thanks :-)

    Dick, that’s for the bit about “how not to “Paddle Safe”. . .

    Alex, thanks, I edited it. Could have spent a couple more days on it but that might have been over kill. .

    I’ve got to edit your other roll yet.

    Hey JB, I have to say there is something even funnier on the HDTV with big speakers, etc. . . :)

    Keith, I was afraid someone might think I WAS serious. Sort of like what happens when “MOM” walks in while you’re watching Spinal Tap. . .

  • Andrew says:

    That’s hilarious! I love it!

    Derrick, you are one crazy nut!!

    I don’t suppose this is a good time to tell you that “descent” is spelled, well, d-e-s-c-e-n-t. But no matter. It was still funny.

    Thanks for that. Never be your own editor. . at least I can fix that. :)

  • bonnie says:

    yeah, I saw “decent Chilton” & I thought you were going to review some cheese or something, one that you ordinarily haven’t been fond of but wow, the cheese store found a cheesemaker that knew how to make a Chilton taste good…

    or something…

    Anyways…ok, can’t resist…that was dammed silly…

    (oh c’mon, somebody had to say it…better somebody that lives reasonably far away)

  • derrick says:

    Silly? LOL!!

    Yeah, you could do the Wisconsin Cheese Tour. Chilton to Colby. . .

  • Bryan Hansel says:

    Funny! This is so Midwestern, it reminds my of when I lived in hour and we paddled 8 total miles of a creek in flood stage to get at one little drop. Makes me wish I had filmed that!!!! Totally funny!

  • Matthew Keller says:

    My chest hurts from laughing! I loved that! Commando Kayaking at its finest.
