I got nominated (in absentia) to take the lead role, lipsynching to Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”.
I knew it meant I had to do something a little bit different, so I wore a long Elvira wig and my signature helmet.
Then I attempted to ride my unicycle with the assistance of two ski-poles (with tennis balls on the pointy tips). I made sure the first two attempts were failures (that part wasn’t hard). By the finale I could travel a few feet. That’s EARNING respect instead of just EXPECTING it.
