My 3 seconds of TV fame

Ya I know I've been away far too long. Gonna try and do a little catching up with you all just as soon as I can. I do have valid reasons for going silent for so long, most are health related and that's about all I'm going to say on that matter for now.

To start off I'm on TV!! Ok, well. I WAS on TV!!! Ok so only for a few seconds but still, it's TV!! Best of all, it was a major program on TV!! Ya, I know the suspense is just killing you, I can tell, and the longer I drag this out the more it just eats away at you. My orneriness has not waivered as you can tell.

Yes I was on 60 minutes!! The TV program, yes really.

The story wasn't about dogs, crippled folks, or even service animals. So you are wondering any was I on the show aren't you. Well I just happen to be in the right place at the right time and then some video editor decided to use just the perfect few seconds of footage. Yes total and complete dumb luck. Gotta love it!!

The show was about movie piracy and all those people who record movies as soon as they hit the theaters and then sell bootleg copies of usually low quality not worth watching copies of the new movie. I've seen a bootleg copy, they really do suck. Don't know why people don't just by the real DVDs when they come out, they are much better and have all kinds of fun extras.

Ok getting sidetracked. Anywho. My human and I were at the premiere of Wolverine in Tempe Arizona back in '09. As you may recall we got our photo taken with Hugh Jackman and naturally I licked his had as he hugged my human. It was the time of our lives! What a rush!

So now all this time later 60 Minutes is doing this story and brings up the Wolverine movie and premiere because it was a very pirated movie. Well in the story, while talking about the premiere event they used footage of the crowd at just the right time and there I am! Oh ya my human is seen too, but mostly it's me!!

Here is a link to the episode, the Wolverine but is towards the end. Enjoy and don't blink!
