(My son getting a Mohawk many moons ago)

Cool! The Mohawk video was fun too, but Dave’s hair is too curly for a good one. What’s he sporting now?

When are you getting a mohawk Craig?

Dave looks 100% normal now, and is a Psychology major at U-Mass.

Here he is 3 years ago at High School Grad......

Funny story - when he had his full Mohawk he ran for class President. The opposition was tough - those all-involved kids that usually get the position. In fact, the opposition was giving out free candy! So one day before the election, they all get to address the entire school through closed circuit TV. The other candidates make it clear they are going to do this and that (normal pol stuff).

He won in a landslide.

Then they wanted him to do stuff like organize Spirit Week! He Quit.....typical Issod, likes the glory but doesn’t want to kowtow to the football team or any authority.

Yeah, what the heck - it seems to have stopped working - but I wonder why the earlier ones still show.....back to the drawing board.

BTW, it does not show on the preview even when it works - only on the full post.
I’ll try a you tube one below since the other is goog

OK, maybe it is a google problem.....

Youtube works.....

all you do it click the <youtube> button above the edit window and enter the funny numbers at the end of the Youtube URL..... like oAwPQtkq_A4

The code for mine here is like this:

I think it is a problem with the ID.. Sometimes Google Video uses a negative ID
and you need to add the minus as well. So copy everything after the

Here are just some random movies from the Google Video Homepage:

Brilliant, thanks lars!

I’ll change my instructions to reflect that....

Alright, let me try this again with a test.  I shot this clip at the Cape Cod airshow a couple weeks ago.
