Rivalry Week Humor

Published by Kevin Myers under Uncategorized

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Michigan fan.  She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Michigan fans too.  Not really knowing what a Michigan fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands fly into the air.

There is, however, one exception. A little boy named Michael has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different.  “Because I’m not a Michigan fan” he reports.

“Then,” asks the teacher, “what are you?”

“I’m a proud Ohio State Buckeye Fan” the boy said!

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Michael why he is an Ohio State Fan?

“Well, my Dad and Mom are Buckeye fans, so I’m a Buckeye fan, too,” he responds.

The teacher is angry now. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly.
“What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot. What would you be then?”

Michael smiles and says, “THEN… I’d be a Michigan fan”

Why I Rescue Memories

Published by Kevin Myers under Uncategorized

I am in the business of rescuing memories trapped on film, videotape, slides, photos and negatives. I am unabashed about sharing this fact with everyone because I have laid witness to an endless storyline of individuals who upon rediscovering these moments swell with pride, experience tears of joy and enjoy heartfelt laughter. My business is called iMemories and we serve a higher order to save and document family legacies. We are fueled by the knowledge of knowing every one of these images are in the twilight of their existence. We make it our daily purpose to remind everyone we know to avoid the “Y2K” of his or her own memories. Our pursuit is to allow each customer to engage in a hassle-free approach to save and digitally re-mastering every old movie and photo they have nearing extinction. Customer’s value ease of use, wholesome fun and unending joy of preserving priceless moments onto DVDs and sharing online in secure and personal theaters.

I rescue memories because:

  • This is history, family history and it must be saved before their gone forever
  • We have witnessed the stirring emotions connected to rediscovering precious moments that have never been seen or a forgotten memory. We relish the opportunity to let everyone experience this exuberance.
  • Reliving past moments are the very fabric of your life’s meaning and purpose
  • We are a mobile society where special moments are not shared with loved ones thousands of miles away
  • We choose to prove the experts wrong that most people care about saving videos and photos, they merely need a trusted company to help. David Pouge recently wrote in the New York Time “Remember: an enormous percentage of today’s videos are going to disappear, as their tapes crumble and video players become obsolete. So if 2 percent of it survives, we’ll be lucky”
  • While video was shot based upon the faith that someone would care enough to watch, we believe that memories rescued should be one click away with sharing the most precious moments.
  • Since the dawn on mankind we have sketched stories on cave walls, scrolls, books, photos and finally motion pictures. We have an innate sense of what is important to capture and share. I rescue memories so this become easier and more enjoyable to the minions of those that care.
