I was checking the most viewed youtube videos of all time and this one was towards the top of the list. I had totally forgotten about this fun video.
I was looking for some images for burning weed (a local plant that makes your skin burn) and all I could find was marijuana stories. We were talking about this video the other night so when I ran across it I had to post it in my blog.
The story featuring Damien Day, was a bit on a British sit com called Drop the Dead Donkey. The end is slightly cut off and Damien says to the camera man "Let's go for a curry"
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I love Robert Downey Jr; he can make a bad movie good and this one looks great! I hate when they start advertising a movie this far out-it's going to be released Christmas Day.
I saw this on TED and sought it out on You Tube. He compares visual illusions to cognitive thinking and how we make decisions.
This isn't a photo of the current traffic jam out of the city; our traffic has boats attached. I think it would be faster to walk if you are on hwy 10 headed north.I found this video when I Googled predator (I needed an image of the Predator from the movie) and it cracked me up. I love B movies and Sci Fi B movies are the best.
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus haiku
I've been feeling like a slave to my stuff. I have to protect it, clean it and store it. I started getting rid of stuff in 2003 by selling it or giving to charity. Every time I get rid of something the house feels a little better.
I never expected this; I was totally surprised by his performance. I made my family watch and now I'm sharing with you. He is amazing.
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head--
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried,
"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!"
"No hurry!" said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,
"Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed--
Now if you're ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
"After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!"
"The night is fine," the Walrus said.
"Do you admire the view?
"It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf--
I've had to ask you twice!"
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
I saw the new Star Trek today and this is by far the best of the Star Trek movies. I was a fan of the TV show reruns when I was a teenager but the previous movies didn't appeal to me.This was one my my favorites talks on TED. I admire the way Adam Savage from Mythbusters passionately follows his obsessions and I'm glad I'm not married to him. :-) His attention to detail with the black bird from the Maltese Falcon is almost pathological; I understand making a replica but my goodness... He is very talented.
