Wow. Just…wow
Oh. My. God. My jaw just dropped watching this. Perhaps you already know about these videos, but I didn’t and I just automatically need to share this new knowledge with the world.
It may seem repetitive, but have patience and watch the whole thing. And no, I don’t know who or what P-Low: The Skillful Abbot is. Perhaps he’s the nice Australian man.
Yes. Yes, you just saw that. I mean, besides the obvious, there’s the diaper on the head tied under his nose! For a moment I thought he was robbing her with a paper clip. I mean, I’m glad they’re learning useful phrases for traveling abroad. And I suppose aerobics is a sort of mnemonic. They both end in “ic” anyway. You can’t get it out of your head, right?
Oh yes, there’s more.
Useful phrase, no? I like that the computer voice says it with three different inflections. I would also like to point out that they are wearing matching sports bras that say “Fraulein,” WITH the umlaut. Just ’cause.
You’re welcome. And if it’s stuck in your head for days, I want to hear allllll about it.
(thank you to this blog for introducing these amazing women to me: http://finalgirl.blogspot.com/)
PS – don’t you like my newfound skills for embedding videos? It will make everything so much more exciting!

Click Here!!!: Performing Brilliance
Oh. My. God.
I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. This is happiness. You will thank me. 🙂
YouTube – Stavros Flatley – Britain’s Got Talent – Show 1.
PS – Susan who?
PPS – I have realized that perhaps this is not so funny if one has never heard of Michael Flatley or Lord of the Dance (what, have you been living in an underground cave?). To that end, for your edification, I give you Michael Flatley, the most pompous performer of all time, in all of his Celtic spritely glory.
YouTube – Lord Of the Dance – Cry of the Celts [Michael Flatley] – Skip to 2:00 for the grand entrance (and also the clip that the above is based on!). Mmm, shiny shirt.
I think my favorite part is when he slo-mo prowl/creeps forward and then prances back and forth showing off his calves. And they are glorious. Enjoy the learning experience and your introduction to this important part of our popular culture canon.

Click Here: Check out my vodpod videos on your right. All the cool kids are doin’ it.
Just a note to point out my vodpod sidebar thingamabobber and that I’m constantly adding videos to it that I think are awesome, and that I think you should check out! However, I’m not writing a new post for each one. So, if you come back here and I continue to suck and not update things…check out the sidebar!
Thoroughly entertaining and sure to brighten your day…or at least distract you from work for a little while, assuming that playing videos does not shut down your whole company’s server. In that case, do it later.
To give you a sample of the awesomeness, I’m singling out a video; I’m also doing this because it needs some explanation as to why it’s there and now I can prove to you I’m not a total weirdo.
Check out Miniatur Wunderland!
This video may appear on the surface to be a slightly interesting look at the world’s largest miniature replica (read: gigundo train set) of…the world. However, this official corporate ad video for the tourist attraction in Hamburg is so much more!
Sure, there are moving cars, picturesque villages, trains, lots of water, yeah, okay, whatever. The guy’s kinda funny, it’s all in a German accent, the translation is a little iffy, but that’s not all. Trust me and have patience until 2:35.
That’s when we get to why I put this video on here –
This miniatur wunderland is full of people too! Every sort of person you could hope for. What sorts are those? Well, he’ll tell you. “Thick people, thin people, animals on trips, or very strong famous children.” Yes, that’s right. You read that right. Don’t you know any very strong famous children? Or penguins with suitcases? I also love that after the one fireeater they have (there can only be one) they point out the “very alive humans,” also known as people having sex in a field. That’s kind of the best description ever. I get the feeling that with hours of examination you could find all sorts of weird little things they throw in (like the sexual references in old Disney movies). Perhaps Waldo’s in there somewhere too.
Keep watching. Wait, what’s that?! A snowman in an outhouse? An upside down house AND a secret underground lair? AAAND a whorehouse?
The people who created this thing have what one might call an “interesting” sense of humor. And I like it.
So visit the Miniatur Wunderland, and prepare to be amazed.
