Fnorgn! Making Tim Conway's Siamese Elephants

Fnorgn! Making Tim Conway\


In this Carol Burnett Show outtake, Tim Conway reduces his co-stars to tears recounting the story of the Siamese Elephants. My wife loves this sketch so much that I knew I had to make her a pair of Siamese Elephants for her birthday.

Step 1Stuffed Elephants

Stuffed Elephants
I bought two identical stuffed elephants to victimize for this project. They're from the "Shining Stars" line, but all I cared about was that they were small, plush, and identical. I used Audacity to edit a 14-second clip which emphasized the line, "All they could do is just blow, and go 'FNORGN!'"

@goofy239: Carol Burnett tells her that it's her turn, in the game, and Vicki Lawrence replies something along the lines of "Is that a**hole through yet?"

You were really close, What she said was "Are you sure that little A**hole's through?" Love the skit and loved the show. also the latter "Mama's Family".

Awesome job, my wife loves that one too!!! If you want a much better "voice recording chip" that is very easy to hack, I just found one at Family Christian stores (to personalize a Staples Easy button). They have a line of stuffies called Prayer Circle Friends that you can personalize with different prayer voice chips. One of the options allows you to record 10 seconds of your own audio. They are normally 7.99 which I thought was a good deal. After checking out I happened to notice it showed on sale at 3.99 on the receipt!! I am going back to get a few more for other projects. The audio quality is pretty good, but seems like the speaker is being a little overdriven. I am hoping the bigger speaker in the Easy button will sound much better. (that instructable will be worked on next week) Anyhow, here is the link. The recording one is called "Personalized Prayer" and is item# 1112784 and shows up in the lower right panel on the page. http://www.prayercirclefriends.com/
