    Just to let you know, Sarah. I submitted this video to Fark.com. I’ve never had an article greenlighted by them in five years, but since this is publicity for the website; they can’t possibly pass the chance.

    The link has been approved on TotalFark and, hopefully, be available for everybody on the Main Video page.

    Great work, Sarah!

    Thanks OzBro. That would mean the world to me! Here’s to hoping the put it on the homepage for video. I think those Farkers would like to watch it.

    It’s a great story. How about Rick Astley’s story? I think that is quite interesting.
