And the Winner Is…
Holls looks more like Barack Obama! Wow! Nobel Peace Prize and now this?
Just kidding! With a final count of 11 votes for Baby A & 7 votes for Baby B, I have emerged victorious. That’s right. Baby A is me and Baby B is Ben. I win.
As promised, I went to here and allowed them to choose a number for me. I had 15 comments, and they selected the number three: My good friend, the Sass.
That’s right. The Sass. Sassy Mac. The Sass-a-nator. Ole ChiliDawg. Reesey-Piecey. The last two I made up. But whatever. I wish her nickname was Ole ChiliDawg. Sarah Mac was born in Jackson, Mississippi to famous song-and-dance duo Bob-n-Kay. Bob-n-Kay were legendary for the dancing tricks they performed while singing old gospel hymns. Most extraordinary was the “Plate Trick,” where Bob would take a long, thin stick, balance a spinning plate on top, balance Kay on TOP of the spinning plate, all while singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain” in perfect unison.
Bob-n-Kay hung up their performing hats when little Sarah arrived. There was talk of adding the wee one to the “Plate Trick,” but ultimately, it was decided that Sarah needed a grounded upbringing, sans being a celebrity baby in world of Gospel song and dance duos.
Sarah was a bright child, always interested in the world around her and curious. This led to her acceptance and subsequent graduation from MIT at the tender age of 8. It seemed that despite Bob-n-Kay’s best efforts, Sarah would not live the life of an unknown; she was destined for greater things.
As much as little Sarah excelled in Planetary Sciences (her post doctoral work for MIT included the study of Exo-Solar Planets and Brown Dwarfs), she felt drawn to the field that ultimately brought her parents together. Eager to add her name to the long and storied roster of plate spinners, she knew the only place that was worthy of such a plate-spinning pedigree as hers was the Chinese National Plate Spinning Troupe. Torn between her love of country and her deep, heartfelt desire to perform, she hid in a wooden crate being sent to Shenyung, China and relocated to pursue her dreams. Little Sarah lived in China for four years, learning the mystical art of Chinese Plate Spinning. You can view a video of Sarah in traditional Chinese costume, spinning plates to the delight of millions here.
After spending some time as an undercover spy for the Intergalactic League of Galaxies, Sarah Mac moved back home to Mississippi. Yearning for the simple life after years of high-risk shenanagins and balancing plates for audiences, she bought a trailer/hot dog stand, selling hot dogs to the crowds of people who flocked to Mississippi to see the birthplace of Rogue from X-Men.
During that time, Sarah wrote the following works of literature:
Pride & Prejudice, under the pen name Jane Austen
Don Quixote, under the pen name Miguel Cervantes
The Da Vinci Code, under the pen name Dan Brown
Everyone Poops, under the pen name Taro Gomi
The First Two Twilight books, under the pen name Stephanie Meyer
Sarah Mac now serves on the President’s Council for Methane-Produced Oxide & Obesity-Powered Energy Resources (MPOOPER), is a member of Mensa (along with Sharon Stone), and is currently said to be heading the development of a much-anticipated movie project with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer; Arrested Development: The Movie.
You should check out Sarah’s blog that she keeps with none other than the Berge, That’s What She Said. There you can learn ever more about the great enigma that is Sassy Mac.
