David Bowie 1970 - Just Another Long-Haired Lout

Here's a curio for you, Davis Bowie, winning the Ivor Novello (Britain's Songwriter Award) Special Merit Award For Originality in 1970 for his 1969 hit, Space Oddity.


N.B.: I presume that the band was off-stage.

Use Google To Order Ethnic Food In A Foreign Language

As part of the Google Slam series, two (what seem like) college girlies created this excellent video, ordering Indian take-out in Hindi with Google's help.

Incidentally, both girls work really well with the camera and the whole video is a wonderful vertite treat. I hope that they enjoyed the meal!

One of America's Founding Fathers Speaks

I'm not often prone to quoting America's Founding Fathers but I quite took to this quote:


"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 


'Tis the business of little minds to shrink but he whose heart is firm and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death."

Thomas Paine

I consider it excellent moral advice for one's personal life and a wordy suicide note for corporate employment.

Hmmm.

Sean Connery's James Bond Parody: Chimp Style

If you're an oldie and consider the only "real" James Bond to be Sean Connery, then you may enjoy this very silly parody of 007's Sixties films, with a ridiculous dialog between, ahem, 009 and Q.

This is a short film parody directed by Tom Stern (Freaked, The Idiot Box) that was originally shown as TBS' Monkey-ed Movies during the commercial breaks for movies.

More On Sarah Palin

As some of you are aware, I'm immensely interested in the Web 2.0 commentaries that follow many posts & news stories, often finding them more interesting - or, at least, amusing - than the original posts.

Today, Time Magazine ponders what Sarah Palin will have to say about the present crisis in Egypt in a speech that she is due to give today to the Young America Foundation.

Ho hum but the comments are a laugh:

"Oh, yes, I'm going to be absolutely spell-bound, hanging on her every word of wisdom in this matter.

On the other hand, given that my back is killing me, I may just find some appropriate snack food and lie down on the couch, passing gas whenever a pause in her delivery allows me to express my heartfelt opinion of her take on foreign relations..."

Afguy

"What will Palin say? 

I'm not sure but it ought to be a good bet that whatever comes from her mouth tonight on the issue of Egypt will be utterly devoid of facts and comically off on basic history."

"I have been gone too long. I miss deep thoughts of Snowflake Snooki [ a.k.a "Bible Spice" and "Caribou Barbie"] on the Egypt crisis being brought up for debate.

.
This is real heavy stuff here. Next, can we get a thread going on about what Justin Bieber thinks of the IMF's role in creating systemic debt in developing nations through it's embrace of austerity budgets?"

Sarah Palin Meets Thomas Jefferson

I love this mean video, in which an even dumber than normal Sarah Palin meets Thomas Jefferson and the results are not quite what she would have hoped for.

Is it accurate?

No but that's satire.

Is it fair?

As Sarah Palin would say, "You betcha!"
