porn on the floor? possibly knotcaphe fourwirk

Is this the greatest music video of the current generation? Probably not. But it's still frickkin awesome.

Singlish + comedy = singlish comedy?

This is what a lot of my in-laws sound like when they speak English:



It's pretty awesome.

You and me, in the nude, if that's what you're into

Zombies and the absurd

If you know me well, you also know that I'm a big fan of zombies. In addition to my zombie fandom, I'm a fan of absurdist comedy. What do you get when you put them together. Well, the answer was not clear until Andy put the following bit together:

Gender stereotypes are funny

There's Luke not tipping on account of poor service!

Frikkin adorable

Hidden Camera's are one of humanity's greatest and worst invention

I had a great time with this website (no it isn't porn). In my very short life I have maintained a 100% success rate at job interviews (7 interviews, 7 job offers). I think, now, I'm realizing why.

[Updated] where the hell did that apostrophe in the title come from?

Shenanigans

Shenanigans! I declare shenanigans!

PS. I've always wanted to declare shenanigans. I think I'll do it more often from now on.

South Park Shenanigans:


Supertrooper shenanigans:


PPS. While the OED doesn't seem to have an entry for 'shenanigans', M-W does. But M-W doesn't seem to know where it came from. I'd put the word Shenanigans on my top ten list of coolest words in English. Sesquipedalian would be on there too. I'm still waiting for a good opportunity to use sesquipedalian.

God protects us, don't you know

You know what? Maybe this guy (a congressman) is right. Maybe the bible is all the evidence we need to know, without doubt, that there is no reason to fear global climate change.



Then again, maybe this is about as sad and pathetic as irrational, unquestioning, blind devotion can get.

I think it should be called FACE DANCE (or feesu daansu)

Yet another way the Japanese can be CrazyCool.

I think what's happening in the video below is: one of the four people rigged up a system that converts tones to electical impulses.  Those electrical impulses are then sent to these poor people's face muscles.  The music starts playing, and what you get is

FACE DANCE

Take-off rap

If you are a flight attendant, this is how you get people to pay attention to you during those boring pre-flight instructions:



Yet another way Southwest is better than any other US airline.

2 things I miss

One thing I really miss about japan is good, simple, japanese sushi.

Another thing I really miss about japan is the kindness of the people, their good nature. You didn't have to worry about most people trying to swindle or cheat you. You could feel pretty confident that if you forgot your jacket on a train station platform, you could go back on the same train line (in the other direction) and find it where you left it (or one of the attendants will have it safe and waiting for you).

So when I see videos like the one below (the second of its kind) it brings me back and makes me miss the place a bit more.

John turturro

John Turturro is one of my favorite actors (I'd easily put him in the top three). I first saw him in the Coen Bros movie "Barton Fink" and, at that time I didn't think too much of him. But since then I've seen him play a lot of different roles (Miller's Crossing, Jungle Fever, Cradle will rock, Mr. Deeds, oh brother where art thou, you don't mess with the zohan). Despite having a very unique voice and look, he has managed to easily persuade me that each character was real.

By far, my favorite of his roles was 'the Jesus' from the big lebowski. Below is a video of him talking about how he made that character real.

The thatcher effect

I'd never heard of the thatcher effect before I saw this video. It's pretty wild.

Interpret your dissertation through dance

This is the first I've heard of it, but it turns out that there's a contest for dancing your PhD dissertation.

I guess the following video is this year's postdoc winner. It's a neurolinguistics dissertation.

This here is officially my favoritest music video of ALL TIME:

What was that guy thinking?
