Be Excellent To Each Other

One for the holiday season.

Mike Birbiglia is really goddamn funny:

I always thought she sang that long note slightly flat in the actual single anyway.

As Lord Vetinari would say, 'Learn the words.'

That's oen of the first records I ever bought that and Adamski Killer.

Catherine from Atlus. Possibly NSFW, though definitely a lot creepy.

Hah! Not bad though.

An amusing comedy sketch film spoof thing:



The Button

The rapping is so terrible. It's like something from Borat. But somehow the combination of the terrible rappers and a fantastic backing track just make it watchable.

I bet if you tried to license the Holiday backing track today for a novelty record you'd be told to get lost.

Great April Fools from the Grandstand team:

Loses it slightly before the end but otherwise hi-larious. Plus, it's hard to get the tune out of one's head.

I must say that I prefer Boom Box

Creepy wind-powered robots

Seen those before but thanks for the reminder, beautiful how they move. Look quite organic to me.

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but http://www.youtube.com/movies has a load of movies on it. There are some real crackers on there:

Watch this pretty much every day with Baba Z, she wuvs it!

Hurricane Katrina storm-surge at Gulfport, Mississippi, taken at hotel by daredevil/idiot stormchasers.

Ta for that, wonderful stuff. Great music too.

I like to think the "Theiss Device" is a camera with some sticky tape strapping it to the wall. Theiss Device. What a prick.

Patrick Moore meets Carl Sagan. What more do you want?

Damnitt! I had a really good mocking joke about that I intended to post along with the video, but forgot to do so, and have now forgotten the joke too.

I think the "Theiss Device" was probably his eight year old son on a step-ladder. "Time to learn the family business junior!"

I like how middle-aged Moore looks like a Bond villain - that one played by Charles Grey. I like to think of the excitement and frustration Moore must have felt watching the space-race. Seeing amazing developments in probe-technology, men on the moon, the Hubble telescope - but at the same time man failing to capitalise on the leap into space and the Moon landings in the end written off as a brief Cold War 'Can-Do' demonstration.

I gave that 'game' a go after watching the video. Odd stuff. I might have to give it another try to see how scripted it is. I like to think I helped Trip and Grace out iron their marriage difficulties out, despite complimenting Grace on her tits.

Home made wolverine claws!

G&R's childish lateness antics didn't go down well in Dublin last night.

That's fucking awesome! What's he playing at? As far as I can tell, he's just deliberately late for every show. And they're not Guns N Roses any more anyway, the big bunch of wankers.

What an arse.

...bottles? pah, the pussy, compared to Metallica at Donnington 85 (the last year of allowing glass bottles I believe).



One of the funniest things I've seen at a gig was Johnny Rod coming to the front of the stage at Donnington 87 to throw some shapes and then running for cover as a barrgage of plastic bottles full of piss rained down on him.

How late were they?

That's fucking HILARIOUS!

Malabar, the girl complaining at the end of the video says an hour and a half, I think.

The staff announcers were great.
A child has become trapped in the tunnel of goats..

I heard on the radio they were about an hour late, then when they finally started they got booed and bottles were thrown at them. So they stopped, and told people to give it a rest or they'd leave. They started playing again for about ten seconds then stopped and stormed off. Someone from the O2 staff came on and told the crowd there had been a 'technical hitch' but he got booed as well so then another staff member came on and said they were trying to get the band back on and pleading with the crowd to stop chucking bottles. Some of the crowd started chanting 'Refund', and finally about 35 minutes later the band played a short set for the smaller number of fans who kept hoping they'd come back and stayed to see.
I think a band turning up late and not apologising would put me off them. Arrogance is quite off putting in some situations. Time and a place.

Peace and love.

Exactly. That was a lot worse, really.

Bit anoarky this, but meh. There's a company called Jam in Dallas who are the kings of the radio jingle. They still can be heard in this country but not as much as in the past (Jam jingles are abit expensive for our screwed radio industry), but they still dominate in the USA. Radio 1 used them for years and Moyles (being a radio anorak) commissions stuff from them.

Anyway, one upon a time they decided (for fun) to make a song with as many jingles in it as possible. Very American orientated but interesting to hear them shoehorn them all in.

Holy shit.



At least now that I know this is possible, I can take a little comfort in some of the absolute spankings I used to get on Mario Kart DS online.

PHULPH!

I love those little beggards. They were being re-housed when I last went, though, so we didn't get to see them.

Otters are without doubt my favourite animal. I had a teddy otter when I was a little 'un and carried it everywhere. It was a fine, life-size stuffed otter. One day outside the shops my mum got a dressing down from a woman who thought it was disgraceful for a mother to give her son an otter as a pet. She thought the stuffed toy was real!

chortle

Oh my. That made me laugh like Jimmy Carr

This isn't Youtube, but ever wondered what it would be like on a cruise ship during a major storm?

Asian Shortclawed Otters are ultra supoib. They're in with the Orangs now.

Some sterling belm from "Dave" in the comments there.

I wish to point out that I am not that Dave.

Sadly, being a Dave doesn't guarantee awesomeness, just makes it probable.

The guy in the area with the fork lift truck near the end made the right decision to get out the the way seconds before the first wave hit.

Kay Burley is Dim :)

Live action Pacman.
Though should really be in the Pacman thread.

I'm surprised no one has posted this one yet...
