Laughter is contagious


This is the famous "Dad at Comedy Barn" video.  24 million views on YouTube, just to hear a man laugh.  If this is your first time viewing it, don't give up in the first two minutes.  And note it even ends with a refrain of "Bohemian Rhapsody."

The doorstop always wins


A compilation of puppies battling doorstops.  I also found it interesting that in two instances the doorstops were mounted on the doors rather than on the wall; I wonder if in some situations there is a practical or design advantage to that arrangement?

"Poo Pourri"


An advertisement for a (real) product designed to minimize or neutralize malodorous flatus and fecal odors.  The video is SFW, though many will find it egregiously tasteless.

"Beyond The Fringe" - the Farewell Performance


Re the American political system:
"They have inherited our two-party system, haven't they?"

"How does that work?"

"Well, let me see, now.  They've got the Republican Party, you see, which is the equivalent of our Conservative Party.  And then they have the Democratic Party, which is the equivalent of our Conservative Party."
Note this was performed in 1964.

A "motley crew" dance for you

Via Boing Boing.

A good excuse to review "motley":
The word motley is described in the Oxford English Dictionary as a cognate with medley, although the unrelated mottled has also contributed to the meaning... When used as a noun, it can mean "a varied mixture." As an adjective, it is generally disparaging — a motley collection is an uninspiring pile of stuff, as in the cliche motley crew.

The word originated in England between the 14th and 17th centuries and referred to a woolen fabric of mixed colors. It was the characteristic dress of the professional fool...

[M]otley did not have to be checkered and has been recently thought to be one pattern with different colored threads running through it.
Motley is the only wear.
—Shakespeare, As You Like It, ii. 7

Mommy Rhapsody


Does the world need another Bohemian Rhapsody takeoff?  Perhaps so, if they are as well done as this one by "Church on the Move," who have altered the lyrics to suit a mommy-oriented audience.

Touch typing (not)


The CEO of the Irish Association of Pension Funds demonstrates for the cameras how he imagines his secretaries type (at 0:45 in the video).

As a touch typist for 50 years (most useful course I ever took in high school), I see this kind of fakiness quite frequently in movies.

Two golf videos



I found these at Within The Crainium, and here's an old joke...
Recently I was asked to play in a golf tournament. At first I said, “Naaahhh! I already play 4 or 5 times a week.”

Then they said to me, “Come on, it’s for handicapped and blind kids.”

Then I thought……Hey, I could win this.
