Boatload of YouTube: Part 2

Ok so I was not planing to do another YouTube Post but after my conversation with Doug over "Take 5" I figured that I should do another one... Ok off to the videos... lol...

This video is one of the few that made Youtube famous... It is such a simple movie and with a simple tune but for some reason it just makes you smile every time that you watch it... The band, if you are wondering is sick Puppies."


Everyone has seen the "I am an apple, I am a P.C." commercials... Here here is the P.C. guy pretending to be Steve Jobs at the World Wide Development Conference... It
pretty funny... Have fun...


I remember when I was in college and I realized how much rap music is influenced by Japanese animation... Well everyone knows that the best Japanese Animated movie was Akira. Yes... the BEST movie WAS A-K-I-R-A... end of story... Well it seems that Kanye West agrees and he has used some scenes in his new music video "Stronger." The best part about this is that it is all live action... f-ing sweet...


Ok... This is probably better than Spider-Man 3... Enough said...


This video is from the world championships at yoyoing... I can imagine how much sex this guy has had to give up over the last couple of years to be able to do this...


"Naked News" picks an anchorwoman. For those who do not know... "Naked News" is a web site that has women read the news for you naked... Note this is not porno... I would say this is porno-esk... or porno-like... Well you may be wondering how they pick an anchorwoman... Well funny that you ask...


Airtrax omni-directional technology allows this Sidewinder Lift Truck to move forward, diagonally, laterally, in any direction at all. The wheel system can rotate 360 degrees in its own footprint or go sideways without turning at all. The navigational options are virtually limitless.


The Algorithm March with Ninjas. From Wikipedia: The Algorithm March is a dance fad created in Japan, based on the children's television series PythagoraSwitch. It is attributed to Arugorizumu Koushin - Itsumo Kokokara. The dance can be performed in lines, moving canon style one at a time. After each movement, the line takes a step forward.


ok.. Continuing on the ninja genre like I am twelve... Here is an upcoming movie... It is called "Ninja Cheerleaders." Come on... This has to be the greatest movie idea since "Snakes on Plane" Hot Cheerleaders. Ninjas. And best of all it's got George Takei from Star Trek fame... Can't wait...


Ok here is the video that started all of this... This came from a conversation. Basically it is Dave Brubeck's Take Five. I was once told that this song sound like Christmas music. Well lets see how it sounds while it is done by a Japanese girls band.

Boat load of YouTube...

Ok well I have been wanting to post some YouTube videos for quite a while. Well since I have such a large backlog of things to talk about I figure that I should just put a whole bunch of videos in one post instead of just one video a day... I would never catch up if I don't do this. Please write back and tell me what you think... I might just be wasting my time...

-- Kevin Smith vs. a Heckler
This was one of the most memorable moments from Comic-Con '07. A non-believer tried to grow a pair and tried to call him out by asking him, "Are you ever going to make a movie with original characters that doesn't suck?" Well as Kevin Smith reminded him, "Don't mess with the guy with the microphone."


-- Storm Trooper Stripper (OK, Prostitute)
This is really cool except for the fact that all stormtroopers were men, so, basically, the guy who went to a BROTHEL, went to have fantasy sex WITH A MAN!!! Well some men like women with guns, I guess this guy likes his women to have a gun and a uniform and come from Star Wars.


-- Bush admits that Iraq Had Nothing To Do With 9/11
One of the most interesting things in politics these days is that it seems the people who worship Bush are also the people who don't listen to a word he says! This video is almost a year old but for some reason this has been kept out of the main stream news. Has anyone seen this?


-- Spider-Cat
This is one of the most amazing things I have seen on YouTube in a while... How does an animal figure out they can do this. This is better than the last Spider-Man movies and it makes me think of the best part of the Simpsons Movie... SPider Cat! Spider Cat! does what ever a spider can.


-- The History of the AK-47
Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do.


-- The Dark Knight teaser trailer
After the last movie every comic book nerd has been chomping at the bit for the next installment of Batman. This video is the teaser for the upcoming movie. Still the trailer does not show very much. A teaser trailer is intended to make you aware that a movie is coming out and peak your interest. Still when they say "teaser" they mean it... Even virgin's don't tease guys this much.


-- Make a Tabletop Biosphere
Watch the video and create a closed system to live on your windowsill! If you have an aquarium, you probably have all the chemicals you need for this. If you have to buy new chemicals, you'll have enough for hundreds of biospheres! A few dollars will get you hours of enjoyment.


-- Turn A PENCIL Into A LIGHT
Imagine your car breaks down and you do not have a flashlight. Still you have a pencil. Well that is enough. That is enough to save you and give you a few minutes to look around under the hood. At least that is long enough for you to realize that you have no idea what you are doing and then you can call the tow truck...


-- Automatic Car Doors
1993 Lincoln Mark VIII Disappearing / Automatic Doors! Very cool even though it was not very save... This has to be some of the coolest concept car doors ever. Still the concept did not go very far so they just canceled the whole thing and they junked the car.


-- Bike Drifting
Wow... It's been years sine I rode my bike but even after years of practice I don't think I could do this... Just insaine what this guy can do... I am guessing the has to shift his body weight so it is not so heavy on the back tire.

Latin You Should Know

Why do you need these Latin phrases? Well, like Latin teachers always say, Latin lives on in plenty of English words and phrases. But mostly, it's worth learning a bit of Latin because omnia dicta fortiori, si dicta Latina: everything sounds more impressive when said in Latin.

Ad hoc: Literally meaning "for this," it's generally used to mean improvised.

Ad infinitum (not to be confused with et cetera): "To infinity, without end."

Caveat emptor: "Let the buyer beware."

Citius altius fortius: "Faster, higher, stronger" - the motto of the modern Olympics.

Columbarium: A collective tomb in ancient Rome that was also used as a house for pigeons and doves.

Corpus christi: "The body of Christ."

Cuius est solum eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos: "Whoever owns the land it is theirs up to the sky and down to the depths." The state of Kansas used this law in the 1970s to argue that airlines could not serve liquor when flying over Kansas, a dry state. "Kansas," Attorney General Vern Miller said, "goes all the way up and all the way down." (If that's true, Kansas can lay claim to, and prohibit drinking in, about 82,282 square miles of western China.)

Deus ex machina: "A god from the machine," usually referring to an awkward and contrived resolution to conflict. The phrase got its start from the plays of Euripides, in which a god was lowered down onto the stage via a mechanical crane to sort out intractable conflicts and confused plots.

Et ignotas animum dimittit in artes: "And he sent forth his spirit among the unknown arts." A beautiful quote from Ovid.

Id est: "That is," often abbreviated "i.e."

In medias res: "In the middle of things." Stories like Paradise Lost or The Odyssey or Sweet Valley High 17 begin in the middle.

Ipso facto: "By the very fact," i.e., "absolutely, regardless of circumstances."

Lupus est homo homini: "Man is wolf to man." No one knew this better than the Romans.

Magnum opus: Great work.

Nolo contendere: When you want to enter a plea of No contest" in as fancy a way as possible.

Opus Dei: "The work of God" or "An outsized villain in a bestselling novel."

Quod erat demonstrandum: "That which was to be demonstrated." Abbreviated QED, often the end of a mathematical proof.

Sic semper tyrannis: "Thus always to tyrants," the motto of Virginia and the last first thing John Wilkes Booth said before after shooting Abraham Lincoln.

Sic transit gloria: "Glory fades," popularized by Max Fischer, founder, Rushmore Double-Team Dodgeball Society.

Sub poena: "Under penalty," as in "Do this or you're in trouble."

Tabula rasa: A "blank slate" - John Locke's description of the human mind without knowledge.

Veni, vidi, vici: "I came, I saw, I conquered," and the most oft-mispronounced Latin phrase in the world. It should be pronounced, WAY-nee, WEE-dee, WEE-kee.

Bad day at Hallmark

Ever wondered what happens when Hallmark writers are having a bad day... Imagine getting one of these in the mail...


My tire was thumping.
I thought it was flat
When I looked at the tire...
I noticed your cat.

Heard your wife left you,
How upset you must be.
But don't fret about it...
She moved in with me.

Looking back over the years
that we've been together,
I can't help but wonder...
"What the hell was I thinking?"

Congratulations on your wedding day!
Too bad no one likes your husband.

How could two people as beautiful as you
Have such an ugly baby?

I've always wanted to have
someone to hold,
someone to love.
After having met you ..
I've changed my mind.

I must admit, you brought Religion into my life.
I never believed in Hell until I met you.

As the days go by, I think of how lucky I am...
That you're not here to ruin it for me.

Congratulations on your promotion.
Before you go...
Would you like to take this knife out of my back?
You'll probably need it again.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Dad!
(Available only in Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia)

Happy birthday! You look great for your age.
Almost Lifelike!

When we were together,
you always said you'd die for me.
Now that we've broken up,
I think it's time you kept your promise.

We have been friends for a very long time ..
let's say we stop?

I'm so miserable without you
it's almost like you're here.

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Did you ever find out who the father was?

Your friends and I wanted to do
something special for your birthday.
So we're having you put to sleep.

So your daughter's a hooker,
and it spoiled your day.
Look at the bright side,
it's really good pay

Happy Birthday MTV...

Note: The following is from the video...

On August 1, 1981 at 12:01 am, MTV aired its first music video, "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. This debut is still remembered as the breakthrough cultural event of the early 80's, making the beginning of the music video era. Even today, [over twenty-six] years later, this video and related commentaries can be found on numerous sited all over the Web.

Appropriately enough "Video Killed the Radio Star" celebrated the birth of one new medium - the music video - and mourned the waning of another - radio.

On June 6, 2000, eStudio.com helped usher in another paradigm-breaking medium with parody of the original MTV video - "Internet Killed the Video Star." Like the video if parodies, "Internet Killed" chronicles the explosive growth of a whole new medium - the Internet. This animated music parody leaves a lot of roadkill in its wake - MTV, AOL, Bill Gates and others, and is the first in a series of animated music parodies from eStudios that will appear on shockwave.com.
