Just STEP UP TO THE MIC AND BEGIN:
Well, they said it couldn’t be done. But look, just look at all of you! Heroes. A roomful of heroes. You’re all astronauts, right? I was told I would be speaking to a roomful of astronauts today. Okay, that’s fine, I’ll still talk to you people. You look enough like astronauts. My main point is this: they said it couldn’t be done! They did. But look at all of us, right here, right now. It’s being done.
That’s not all they said, though. They also said, “Why try?” And: “Don’t bother!” Also: “There’s no point!” They called it “a waste of energy, time, and planning!” Naysayers! One person even said, “Nay”! What’s his deal? Does he think this is the Middle Ages? Forget that guy!
Oh, but they said other things as well. One guy said, “I think it can be done but I won’t help. I’m too busy—I’ve got to pick up laundry and yadda yadda yadda.” I didn’t hear the last part of what he said—I had headphones on. The point is, that guy is NOT HERE right now. Screw him.
One lady said, “I think it can be done, but I don’t want to clean up afterwards!” That lady IS here today…ma’am, will you stand up? Where is she? I can’t see her. You cowardly witch! Lady, you don’t have to clean up because we’ll all clean up! Right, everyone? No…Okay, I got a better idea, let’s just not make a mess, then NO ONE has to clean up. Sound good? Good. Now shaddup, lady!
Now, let me address the guy who brazenly told me that he knew it could be done because—and this took some real cojones—because he’d already done it! No. I don’t think so, pal. I don’t think you already did it, because then it would be done and what would be the point? There would be no point. But there is a point and it is this: It can be done. We can do it. We’re doing it.
But I’ll go one step further. I think it can be done in record time. Today. Starting…now! So thank you for being here, thank you for believing, screw the naysayers, and LET’S GET THIS OVER WITH!
