Lip Synch Madness
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—10/28/2013—The video showcased in my last column (titled “Wow!”), comprised a compilation of eye-popping images. This week’s footage had me laughing out loud at my computer screen.
The background: a six-year-old child has been losing it, and loudly, for about an hour. To lighten the overall mood, 40-year-old Dad begins “lip-synching his daughter’s tantrum.” His improvisations and timing make for a hilarious performance (unless you’re female and related to him, though someone—Mom?—had to shoot the footage). Overall grade? Empathy: Not so much; Humor: A+; Crotch scratch: As in baseball, could’ve done without it.
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
