News You Can Bruise for 2003 December 1

Permalink [Comments] (4) Mon Dec 01 2003 19:19 Strategic Imitation Limitation Treaty:

There's lots of things I can't do, but one of the things I can do is imitate certain voices. Unfortunately most of the voices I can do really well scare Sumana, who has placed restrictions on when and how I can do them.

I can also do a Steve Ballmer and a Bill Gates, but it honestly doesn't sound like them anymore. It's more fun to do charicatures of their voices that only denote them if you're in on the joke.

What voices can you imitate well?

I've gotten pretty good at doing Homestar Runner and Strong Bad.

I used to be able to do Wakko, from the Animaniacs. That decreased in effectiveness somewhat when I hit puberty.

I can do a number, but in the vein of "voices that annoy the bejeezus out of my girlfriend," I can do Grand Nagus Zek, and Melissa absolutely DESPISES him. But I've decided that's my life's calling.

Charicatures are easy. I once got my high school's headmaster imitated perfectly. He had one of those high, nasal, back-of-the-mouth rasps that was practically a charicature in itself.

Let's just say that I cannot confirm the origin of a certain prank answering machine message programmed into his phone.
