All very strange I asked Landon to let me have his file and he emailed me the wmv file as referenced above by CHarlene, it
downloaded OK but two odd things.

it is only 2.43MB yet when the video opens in Windows Media Player it is indicated to be 3 minutes 14 seconds long
and plays that time in full which is remarkably long for such a small video file 24.3MB would be what I would expect.
This just might be because the file I received whilst showing the (presumably) hysterical laughter by the audience is
unfortunately
bereft of any audio content just the video (and yes I have downloaded it twice now from the email and neither resulting
wmv file has any sound.

Anyway whilst I agree that the look of the artist (piss artist??) is very like a 70's Gord I doubt if it is anything other
than some comedian with a false moustache and what looks like a missing tooth and he is much more puffy cheeked than Gord

So Landon since your original posting did say "the voice sounded a little different" does your original include audio and
if so could you resend it to me please as I would dearly like to add it to my GL "funnys" collection and upload it as I told
you somewhere for all here to enjoy.
alternatively CHar if the copy you received has sound could you forward it to me please?
I tried googling for:-
looking for my wallet and car keys.wmv
Since if it was originally found on the internet it should be a download link somewhere
and found no such link. However I did find a blog where somebody claimed
"I must spend 1hour per day looking for my wallet and car keys and sometimes even my car!"
Finally Landon could you ask your wife to ask her sister for definitive details of this jolly jape's provenance
which no doubt she received from somebody else etc

P.S. CHar if you would like to upload the file (with a soundtrack)yourself let me know and I'll set up a suitable free website for you at http://www.fileave.com, who offer completely free 50 MB websites with no banners and the files are hot linkable, and their arrangements feature a particularly easy to use File Manager/file uploader wonderful
