Creampuff to Sea Lions: "Quit Looking at My Rack"
It's been a year since my last brilliant sea lion video. Don't lie to me - I know you've all been waiting with bated breath to see another instalment of me yapping away in Monterey while filming what I claim are the majestic creatures of the shallows known as "sea lions" but which appear to be rocks. Not even fuzzy rocks - just rocks.
I have to pat myself on the back, for I feel that my filmmaking technique is vastly improved this year. By which I mean "I stood closer to the sea lions. Because this damn camera only zooms in so far in video mode".
Behold!
After all of your derisive comments last year, I took the precaution of also adding some sea lion photos to back up my claims.
Sea lion #1: Ungh.
Sea lion #2: I feel you.
Sea lion #3: Do you guys smell me? I think I smell myself.
Sea lion #4: Clyde - don't make me club you.
Sea lion #1: Ungh.
Sea lion #2: For real.
Clyde: Whoa! Check out that chick's rack!
Sea lion #4: I totally have that shirt.
Sea lion #5: Silent, he balances on the surface of the water, surveying the landscape. He spies her, splayed regally on the rock, her dark brown pelt glistening in the sun's rays. As he prepares to make his move, he can't help chuckling to himself. She'll never see it coming...
Sea lion #6: Angelo - I can hear you narrating.
Sea lion #7: Ohhh, yeah, baby. You know what time it is.
Sea lion #7: It's BUSINESS TIME.
Look at that wink! That sea lion was totally coming on to me. Nice try, Smoove. I'm TAKEN.







It's hard to eclipse my jealousy when I see that you were on a beach with ocean while in the sun it's -25 with the windchill in the 'shwa but you managed to do it. I say next year's video should be in a dinghy. Dave would say yay for rack shirts.

I think it does have a huge impact on your film, and even your photography, if your couture is rack-friendly. Thanks for thinking of us.
I love Meg Ryan, leaving her alone would have been hard for me!
Great footage, and photos, especially the player at the end. *wink

If he had only been wearing his business socks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU), it would've been you + sea lion + excellent rack = 4 EVA.

omg I got to hear you! this is so fun, since I had no idea you existed a year ago (how fun is the internet?)
Lane Bryant forsook my panties and so I try not to shop there anymore (seriously, WHO discontinues a fat chick's FAVORITE UNDERWEAR?!) i hope your rack didn't get burnt with all the new exposure!

OMG, it's business time... made me laugh out loud. I love the sea lions. Is this now an annual event? Fabulous.

That wink was smooth...now if he could only 'turn it all into a SEXY dance!'
Nice camera work!

Heather - A dinghy! Brilliant. THAT'LL show National Geographic that I'm serious.
red mojo - I do what I can, my friend. I do what I can.
Melissa - I KNOW - good thing he was sockless, otherwise Katr would have come home to a big, blubbery surprise.
michelle - I can't believe they ditched your ginch! That's so wrong. What's funny is that I went there specifically for the ginch, which I can't get in Canada. Maybe your ginch are up here.
wenders - Business time gets me every time too. Those Flight of the Conchords guys KILL me.
JMc - Hahahaaaaa! If only! I think that's my favourite line from the whole song. Now I have to go watch it again...

wait what? It has been a YEAR since the last video? That can't be right.
The pictures are a fabulous addition to the sea lion post. I wish there could be sea lion/seal posts every day!
"..conditions are prefect! There's nothing good on TV"
pee ess: soooo glad the shoes were not harmed in the making of this film.
