Yeah, I was only a mildly irritating younger brother. I cringe every time I hear that long, falsetto "Hiiiiiiii." But having the power to evoke that sort emotional reaction from me so quickly is also why I love this clip.

"Let's Go, Jeffa!"
I felt a little embarrassed at my Harvard graduation. While everyone else's parents and family members were politely clapping and cheering when their name was called to collect their diploma, my dad decided to unleash one of his supersonic thumb whistles on the indoors crowd, and my uncle added a "All right, Jeffrey! All right! Yeah!" for good measure. But then my dad had to cup his hands around his mouth and scream, "Let's go, Jeffa!" like I had just made a diving catch in the outfield to end the inning. I love you both and I'm so glad you're that proud of me, but take it easy, guys!
I didn't fully regain my sense of humor about that moment until I watched the videotape, where Dad's unexpected monster whistle startles the old lady seated in front of him and nearly bursts her eardrum (or so the old drama queen makes it seem).

A Stevens Family Summer Vacation, 1997
Paul: Is that on?
Me: Yeah.
Paul: (after a pause) Why?
Me: Something like this deserves to be taped.
Darn right it deserves to be taped! Though nothing beats the comedic timing of my Mom's repetitive pleas for all of us to stop everything we're doing to look for the cottage's one sharp knife that has somehow gone missing.
And bonus points to my cousin Paul for stepping on the dog food dish and knocking its contents to the floor.

"The non-stop barking beagle"
This is what happens when the Stevens family goes on vacation to Cape Cod and they leave their untrained beagle puppy in the cottage while they go out to dinner.
They come back after dinner and find notes like these, written on the back of a Parenting magazing envelope, left on their door.

"Goodnight, Geoff"
Yup, that's what Nick says to me as he's heading off to his first day of junior year...at 7 in the morning.
Also, watch for the late reveal of the jeans.

"Airball!"
In this installment of Stevens Family Videos, dated July of '96, Nick (with an assist from our Dad) tries shooting some hoops in our back yard, but his aim, touch, and luck ain't too hot...

"I Got A Zoomer!"
In today's clip, the Stevens Family deals with the attack of the April Fool's Day blizzard of '97. Also included: rare footage of my dad shoveling snow- could be a collector's item.

"I'm gonna strangle you, ma"
Dated January 10th, 1988. Nick wakes up one morning and comes downstairs to the kitchen, displaying his physique while by only sporting underwear and a yellow Panda t-shirt. Luckily, my mom had rented a video camera that weekend to record my 7th birthday party.

Beisbol Esta' Aqui, Amigos!
Now that the 2008 baseball has fully arrived, I'm reminded of some funny exchanges between announcers Joe Buck and Tim McCarver during last year's All-Star game:
Tim McCarver: If his hobby wasn't cooking, his name would be Little Papi.
Joe Buck: (prolonged awkward silence)
AND LATER ON...
Tim McCarver: I'll have to ask Chase (Utley) if he limits his dancing to weddings only.
Joe Buck: (another prolonged awkward silence) I...I don't know.

Pete Holmes Vs. My Dad
Comedian Pete Holmes Vs. My Dad, George Stevens
For some reason, my Dad feels the need to pipe up at comedy shows and take it upon himself to help answer the performers' rhetorical questions. He had done this at a Shark Show before and peeved many a comedian, so I guess this is his delayed comeuppance.
And for the record, Pete Holmes is one of the nicest, most genial comedians around, and one of the funniest, too. His set just wasn't going great that night for some reason and he was feeling a bit off, so he decided to take his frustrations out on my dad. As you can see, it helped!

Jack Bradley's Greatest Falls!
JACK BRADLEY'S GREATEST FALLS!
Jack Bradley's Greatest Falls! from Geoffrey Stevens on Vimeo.
Since getting a DVD recorder for Christmas (thanks Mom and Dad!) I've been busy converting all the old Stevens family home videos from deacying VHS tapes to DVD, a more permanent medium for safe-keeping. I gotta say, there is some serious gold on these tapes.
The first installment of the Stevens Family Videos, embedded above, is Jack Bradley's Greatest Falls, from the fall of 1989.

My Summer Jammy Jam
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fo_QVq2lGMs
When I first heard this song, I didn't like it at all, but after watching the video a few times, which is AMAZING, this quickly became my official summer jam of 2007.
You might remember this group Justice- when their video won Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Video Awards, a clearly DRUNK Kanye West got up in the middle of their acceptance speech and said HE should have won for his Touch The Sky video instead. Classy! At least it gave them a ton of free publicity.
Now I wanna see Tony Shalhoub follow in Kanye's footsteps this fall when he loses an Emmy (Hh yes, he will lose. He must!) to Alec Baldwin, Ricky Gervais, or Steve Carrell.

Best Actor In A Comedy Series
If Tony Shalhoub wins one more Emmy for Monk, especially this year over the 3 top actors on this list, then there is something severely wrong with A) the Emmy voting process, B) The Emmy voters themselves, or C) The World. Take your pick!
ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
Steve Carell, The Office
Ricky Gervais, Extras
Tony Shalhoub, Monk
Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men
Oh, and NBC? Are you still debating on canceling 30 ROCK after it scored you 10 freakin' Emmy Nominations? Think you can still find a spot on your loaded fall lineup for the funniest show on TV?
