Je.c’s Great Ideas

Filed under Humor, Personal by Scott Allen on May 2, 2009 at 9:19 pm no comments

My stepson Jesse is constantly coming up with great ideas and sharing them with anyone who will listen. Occasionally they’re both original and brilliant. Sometimes they’re just one or the other. Sometimes they’re…neither.

My son Jordan captured Jesse on video sharing some of his ideas and sort of mashed them all together. Enjoy! (BTW, this was my son’s first solo film for his Media Tech class).

Grammar Gremlins

This is what started it all…

Scott_allen_new_150x150_normalScottAllen: @unmarketing How is social media in March different from social media the rest of the year? [ducks]

Me_normalunmarketing: @ScottAllen son of a……. well played

When I was in 5th grade, our English teacher implemented something called “Grammar Gremlins”. Whenever you heard someone make a grammatical error, you were supposed to holler out “grammar gremlin”, at which point you jotted down what they said in a little notebook and they had to sign it. Some silly prize was given out to whoever collected the most (guess who?).

Needless to say, I barely survived 5th grade.
