It's (nearly) Chrisssstmasssss!!!!

Well? What would your daddy do if he saw your momma kissing Santa Claus? A-ha Haaaaa!

Worst acting ever.

Get a personal message from Santa.

Why not get Father Christmas to send a loved one a Christmas message, direct from the north pole! I've just used it and it works really well. I can imagine this would absolutely amaze kids, so if you have any young children it's defiantly worth five minutes of your day.

A couple of things on this blog wouldn't be here if Dan (Who we went to Uni with) hadn't posted them on his Facebook page. So it's only right he is accredited with finding them before us. Through his page we recently discovered the BBC Breathing places vial, which is also quite amusing. However more to the point here's another little gem he's introduced us to. Bit of a shame it didn't come out a few months ago, but it's still pretty funny.

New OK Go video

They're such fun those OK Go boys, wouldn't you just like to have them round for tea? They could do a funny dance with some bangers and mash, or craft a chicken dinner into a face, or maybe they could build something, like a terra-cotta army made of Taramasalata. Who knows, the possibility's are endless, and with their continued interest in creating great pop promo's as well as music, it's quite likely something like this isn't to far off. But in the meantime have a butcher's at their latest creation.

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

I must admit I was a bit skeptical when I heard this was happening. But in truth it's really quite funny. Particularly Beaker's performance. I hope it charts well. There's already plenty of support for it. Click here to join the Facebook group.

Ukrain's got talent 2009 & Twinings.

I was stumbling around the internet last night and found this video of Kseniya Simonovia, the winner of "Ukraine's got talent 2009". She creates spectacular sand drawings to demonstrate the history of her country during the second world war. However as soon as I watched it, what immediately sprang to mind was AMV's recent Twinings ads. I've posted both below so you can compare the obvious similarities.

(Be warned the Kseniya Simonovia video is nearly 9 minutes long and she looks a bit mental. But it's definitely worth a look, if you haven't seen it before).

Happy Christmas!!! (Oh, and we're 50)

For our 50th post (Not many when you think how long I've been writing this thing, but I can't do anything about that now. So.... yeah shut-up) we thought we'd get in the christmas spirit. Here's a festive little ad for bbc.co.uk/breathingplaces enjoy me lovelies.

The rules of the Blues.

1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."

2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."

3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes... sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."

4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out.

5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and company motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.

6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.

7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.

8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chompin' on it is.

9. You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.

10. Good places for the Blues:
a. Highway
b. Jailhouse
c. An empty bed
d. Bottom of a whiskey glass

11. Bad places for the Blues:
a. Nordstrom's
b. Gallery openings
c. Ivy league institutions
d. Golf courses

12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it.

13. You have the right to sing the Blues if:
a. You older than dirt
b. You blind
c. You shot a man in Memphis
d. You can't be satisfied

14. You don't have the right to sing the Blues if:
a. You have all your teeth
b. You were once blind but now can see
c. The man in Memphis lived
d. You have a pension fund

15. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues.

16. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues

17. Other acceptable Blues beverages are:
a. Cheap wine
b. Whiskey or bourbon
c. Muddy water
d. Nasty black coffee

18. The following are NOT Blues beverages:
a. Perrier
b. Chardonnay
c. Snapple
d. Slim Fast

19. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broke-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.

20. Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie
b. Big Mama
c. Bessie
d. Fat River Dumpling

21. Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe
b. Willie
c. Little Willie
d. Big Willie

22. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

23. Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Melon, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Jackleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")

24. I don't care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues.


Well that's me screwed. But I think my Blues name would be: Shaky apple Bush.
