The Children's Twerkshop

Michael Buble: Young, handsome, soulful, and great looking. God has sent you an angel, but you two just haven't met yet. Relax.

Sara Bareilles: The girl next door who plays piano and doesn't take your shit. A role model for the young ladies who can and will have fun with birthday suits in the closet.

BOTH have taken on the daunting task of adapting the Sesame Street Theme into pop gold. Sunny, 4/3 time signature, bouncy piano. The lyrics take a slightly more "young adult relationship" angle than the original, but still unmistakable.






Thoughts? Reactions? Who does Big Bert and Garbage Grouch an A#1 solid? Has Dino Kartsonakis finally met his match? Bombs away, EPL faithful.

Bon Voyage, Phil!

The darker side of EPL's CPA of the Month competition is not something we often address, but for every Crown of Roses, there is a Halo of Flies. And this June, it was the raunchy malodour of one Phil Tarold that attracted those flies.
Every four weeks, Bodacio and I pour over resumes and corporate portraits, each hoping to best the other with our picks at the end of another (AGONIZING) round of deliberation at the judges' table.
I'm going to be honest, from the second B. held up Steve's 8x10 and silently mouthed the word "mine," I knew I was licked. How do you cope with passing on a pony like Steve Grissom? One of two ways. You go mad, or you go maverick.
I grabbed the nearest glossy and in that first rush of desperation that heralds the coming of inevitable defeat, I saw potential. I saw my clay. Some Loreal Strawberry-blonde here, bump up the cyan on the irises. Unisex lavender silk blouse... Maybe. Maybe there's something there...
...but it was a Fool's Paradise.
And while I certainly congratulate Steve on his much deserved victory, I find I can't be that magnanimous with Phil. I questioned, "Did I see something that wasn't there? Did I push too hard? Expect miracles?"
And the answer is "no," Phil. It was you who let me down in failing to make flesh my vision of The New Accounting. I hope you can live with that.
