(Sidenote: please make sure you watch the video BEFORE you continue reading, or you'll ruin a pretty fun little experience...)
So afterward this is the exchange that took place:
Brett:
It really took you a minute? Well, you've always been a little slow. :-)
Mom:
OK... I got it when he messed up her hair. That coupled with the sand in the face...
Susannah:
Hey now be nice... Ben was really impressed that I got it before the title came up!
Andy:
A few thoughts:
1. I got it with the sand (I mean really, there are windmills all over the background of the guy's office...)
2. Increasingly I find myself upset when really cool and simple ideas for videos get out there without my having thought of them first. This is why I am not going to see Planet 51 - what a great concept! Why didn't I think of that?? I have no idea where this sudden contempt for non-me creative ideas comes from - I've never really been that creative and don't really feel like I have the intellectual right or resume to warrant feeling such contempt... but nevertheless, every time I see something like this a little piece of me dies...
Susannah:
To Whom It May Concern:
I formally apologize for killing a piece of my brother's soul. No harm was intended
Yup, that's my family...
So leave me comments and tell me (honestly) when you got it...

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! I made it onto Andy's blog!!! I'll be famous now.... to Brett...!!!
I didn't get it. I had to think about it once the words came up at the end. But I am tired and pregnant so you can't make fun of me.
I didn't get either until the end...But I think that your explanation before the video threw me off. I kept waiting for something to happen instead of reading into his actions. I felt stupid at the end cause I could figure it out. All well....I'm blonde. Good excuse?
I honestly didn't get it until your explanation afterward. Frownsmile.
Hah! now I don't feel so lame. Apparently you have other slow people in your life! Now don't you feel a little bad about making fun of me??...Probably not.:)
Jamie is still trying to figure it out. "What is there to get?" I finally got it when I read your two part piece. It really is confusing but once figured out, very, very cool. Should we leave Jamie in a perplexed state?
Jamie just asked, "What is he? A fart?"
(I'm typing these in real time. Are you watching the time differences between these comments?) So Jamie just walked away from me and said, "He is a fart because he is dressed in black and he's the wind." I look at him perplexed. "Yeah, he's the wind so what am I suppose to get?" (with hands in the air). I said, "That's it. He's the wind." He replies, "I thought there was more to it. Come on. You have to give me something harder than that. I stand by my original statement, "He's an ugly, smelly wind which equals a fart I stand by this."
