Happy Saint Patrick's Day from Chatterboy who enjoyed munching on clover for this photo shoot!

Piggy runs for president, gives a campaign speech and eats lettuce. Watch the election! Abigail did most of the writing, filming and editing for this episode.

After watching Chris Pirillo's Help! video, Chatterboy decided to ask Chris to help him with a problem.

Here is Chatterboy's response to Chris:



And here is Chris's answer for Chatterboy, courtesy of Darth Vader.



Thanks, Chris. Hope you get some sleep! In the meanwhile we'll try to find some magazines...if anyone else has any suggestions, please let us know.

Elisabeth, age 4, wrote the script for this episode. Chatterboy enjoys tea and broccoli. Blooper included.

Michaela, who loves penguins, thought of this idea when we found some gummy candies in the shape of her favorite animal. Together we did our first stop-action video. For the record, I must state that Chatterboy did not follow the script. He got into the act too much! The plan was to do stop-action with the gummy penguins marching in the frosting and then do video to show Chatterboy chewing (on lettuce or hay) beside the penguins, to make it appear as if he had eaten them. Michaela's title for it was "Great White Guinea Pig". But instead, after sitting by the penguins for a while, the guinea pig decided to try one. I got it on video but please note that we immediately removed the candy from Chatterboy's mouth! Working with animals is a bit unpredictable!
