Youtube Crushes

Okay, these are not legitimate crushes, but oh lawd they is funny.

Ever heard of DJ Flula?

Well, you should watch some of his stuff, because it's hilarious.

He's this German DJ who - when he comes into contact with weird English idioms that he doesn't understand - he gives it his best shot. 

For instance, there's the Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Happy as a Clam.

Skeletons in the Closet.

Proof is in the Pudding.

Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet.

And my personal favorite: the Party Pooper.

(A friend made me watch that in the middle of the university library -- my other friend working at the checkout desk thought I was having a stroke. It's really hard not to laugh, y'all.)

His broken English is adorable and hysterical, and the 'outside opinion' is priceless.

And Olan Rogers.

If you have not heard of him, I pity you.

A friend of mine posts a picture of him every Monday, and when you watch this, you'll see why.

His facial expressions and snarkiness are to die for.

He also talks about the time he took his lady out -- that's pretty awesome, too.

But yeah.

Those are my Youtube crushes.

Random English-y Thought . . .

So, in Old and Middle English, "knight" was pronounced "ki-nig-it".
Yes, like in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail French Taunting Scene.
True story.
The pronunciation, not the . . . well, you know that . . . right?
Anyhoo, I was just letting my mind wander off because I get tired of holding onto that leash with white knuckles, and I wound up thinking about that new Batman movie coming out this year, "The Dark Knight Rises".
. . .
How awkward would that be if we still said it that way?!
I mean, we wouldn't really think twice about it, I suppose, if everyone said it like that.
But still, "ki-nig-it" and Bale's Batman voice (which sounds like he's gargling marbles, apparently) is . . . um . . . pretty stark contrast.
Just sayin'.
Although, it would be pretty awesome to hear the Joker say it that way.

Bring the 90's back!

The other day I was poking around on the internet.
No big deal.
I stumbled across one interesting thing, and that led to another interesting one, until I found this:

SOME KID IS SELLING HIS PIECE OF THE AGGRO CRAG!!!!!


THAT IS A BIG DEAL!!!


If I were that kid, I'd hang on to that thing forever!
I used to watch that show all the time, and I had always wanted to climb the Aggro Crag!
Every red-blooded kid in the WORLD did!
And that got me thinking: there were a lot of stinkin' awesome shows in the 90's, especially on Nick GAS.
Obviously, GUTS and Global GUTS.
And Figure It Out!.
And Scaredy Camp.
And last and definitely not least, Legends of the Hidden Temple.
On a whim, I searched for it on Youtube.
IT.
WAS.
THERE!
I was so excited!
I watched an entire episode, reliving the glory days.
And, naturally, those temple guards made me jump every time.
I felt like I was 9 again.
. . .
And then I remembered my college homework, and suddenly, I was 19 again.

BRING THE NINETIES BACK!!!
