Engrish

You know how sometimes we make random sounds that SOUND like a specific foreign language, but aren’t? Think Eric Cartman in “The China Problem”, or the Swedish Chef, or anytime that PaulC cooks French food. See here’s the thing, English is “foreign” to a LARGE majority of the worlds population, so what does English sound like to non English speakers?

Thankfully in 1972 some Italians recorded a music video that answers this exact question. They are NOT singing English in this video, they are making sounds that they interpret as sounding English. Wild. Just, wild.

Sooo, its gibberish, yet the video seems to fit the “song” perfectly. I feel like if they WERE singing actual words that it would be about cars, I have no idea why.

“The Matrix” as done by Charlie Chaplin

No, seriously, I kid you not. The Russian actor's group "Big Difference" (Bolshaya Raznitsa / Большая Разница) did this short video that features a Charlie Chaplin type character as Neo. Pretty dam funny.

Isabella Rossellini

Or her full name Isabella Fiorella Elettra Giovanna Rossellini has three seasons of “Green Porno” videos over at Sundance. What, you ask, is Green Porno? It is a series of short, factual skits where Isabella plays the part of an animal as she teaches us its sexual behavior. Is it funny? Hell no, its hysterical. And of course we love Isabella Rossellini, and not because she is beautiful (she is), but because she is smart and funny.

My favorite is the bumble bee “… but I would die, without my penis I would bleed to death.” Uh, yeah, I can’t really argue with that.

Check it out.

Ahhh, this explains SO much.

Le Ho Fooks

I was driving Samantha to work yesterday and “Werewolves of London” comes on the radio. Good tune, no doubt about it. In a fit of honesty Samantha says “You know, up until about a week ago I thought that this song was ‘Werewolves of Thunder’. “

Uhh, what?

Ok, if I try REALLY hard, I can hear “Werewolves of Thunder”, but what about the telling lyrics?

“He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair”

and

“I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein”

Samantha, you have BEEN to Lee Ho Fook’s, we ate beef chow mein there and DISCUSSED the song.

Pretty funny. :D

The Social Media Guru

I can’t possibly add to this, just watch.

Explain this image

dot com is a site of just really weird photos, some are staged and ridiculous, but some are just snapshots of weirdness.
take this for example


Not staged. Kid came up with a creative way to cross the pond while his friend on the other side encourages him. Why is his friend dressed like that on a miniature three wheeler? Who knows.

Or this clearly staged photo


that still makes me say "huh?" I understand the two individual concepts here. But the juxtaposition makes my head ache.

Or this:


CLEARLY this is staged, but WHY?

Well, he didn't fail at EVERYTHING...

Cramped quarters...

And you thought that YOU had tight cubicles!

Hug me pillow

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but …

uh, yeah, maybe its that CREEPY pillow that is making you dizzy and blue and freakin out your dreams.

Yeah, that is weird. Overstock is selling these "hug me pillows" that were apparently modeled after Brad Pitt (I guess that means no chest hair?)


Read the comments at Overstock, the are fairly humorous, for example:
"I LOVE the hug-me pillow. I sleep with 5 of them, it makes me feel like i'm in bed with a whole family.I've always felt there was something missing in my life, a void. I can't explain it but I now feel like one complete person. thank you hug me pillow!"

What to say?
The picture says it all...
"Well yeah, it was a bit cold out, so I grabbed an old iron and a lead acid battery, and well, there it is."

Nick Nolte on your credit card...

Whats in YOUR wallet?

Dood got a Capital One credit card with Nick Nolte's mug shot.

You can read the full story here, but apparently Capital One realized the error and gave the dood $50 to get the card back.
SUPER.
