TST - Captioning

True Story Tuesday - the day that's not Monday; the day when you can look back at Monday and laugh.  Head on over to Once Upon A Miracle to link up and laugh until you blow your morning coffee out of your nose.

Just for Rachel

I post a lot of videos between my eleventy million blogs and I've been trying to figure out how to caption them for Rachel.  Only, I'm not nearly smart enough to do it.  I think I know a way to do it using Windows Movie Maker, but it doesn't always recognize my Flip videos.  So, I tried to use YouTube's automatic video captioning.

And, well,  this is what it came up with for my Top Shot submission video (my comments in italics)...

headshots elephant (because that's the way to get the producer's attention - start with headshots)

and she can sense my early twenties (I don't know who "she" is, or how she can sense my early twenties)
and her friends (nor do I know who her friends are)
taught me how to choose (or what they taught me to choose)


just because it was fun

the (End.  The end.)
Well, Rachel, I tried.  And I just have one question - does the automatic YouTube captioner-thingy madohickey have its mind in the gutter or what?  I'm almost afraid to see what Mr. Daddy has to say about this.

Okay - not only was that the best post, but dang you have the best commenters too!

I snorted through the captioning, then again from Mrs. Mom and Bill.

Now to be fair... you really should show the video and let people read the words with it - because I'm sure thats dadgum funny right there.


I'm afraid of what the stupid armenians will have to say about this.

But aww heck, let's go get passports and find some hairy fruit.

Dying... just dying. You are awesomesauce!
