Skip to 1:38 if you just want to see the singing... but the introduction is relatively funny as well :D Merry Christmas, and enjoy - my present to all of you!
"Important educational video that documents the rise of Om Nom Nom and its meaning in culture. Includes early footage of Cookie Monster in a training video for IBM.
I watched it with my cat, Red, and he seemed enthralled. Of course, he also chases his own tail.
Though, one of my favorite memories will always be the devotion of an entire college class period to the original. The class was Greek, Roman, and Near Eastern Mythology, so it was totally legit. I brought snacks.
Just... made me happy. I always thought Dracula was what vamps should be - scary as hell, and wanted to eat you. And getting sexed while working on that was a major plus :D Plus, how can you not like Twilight Bashing?
This video shows a selection from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Musical Offering (1747) played forwards, then backwards, then both forwards and backwards at the same time. It was created by mathematical illustrator Jos Leys and science/philosophy blogger Xantox. This Bach piece has long intrigued mathematicians:
In each of these canons a musical line is played twice (or four times in Canon 10). The second version is always transformed with respect to the first by shifting in time, but it may also be shifted in pitch, turned upside-down, stretched, or played backwards. Each of these transformations occurs in the mathematics of elementary functions; they are examples of how new functions can be made out of old and of how a function can be tailored to fit a new situation.
I found this and the following two videos whilst scanning through youtube. These are my favs, but I would suggest looking through the channel... there's a great batman/pizza delivery guy crossover...
You know this actually happened, but Star Fleet hushed it up.
Courtesy of Isntitironic on the Fandom Wank back in 2005. Y'know, when people still didn't want to admit that Hermione and Ron made a pretty cute couple in JKRowling's eyes. Thus, the Harmonians: the 'shippers of Hermione + Harry.
I am the very model of a disgruntled Harmonian I defend my ship of choice with diction Ciceronian I'm trained in metaphor and in analysis subtextual My thoughts are all outside the box, my theories intellectual
My position is secure and wholly indefensible To understand the books aright my ship is indispensible To overcome an evil diabolic and demonical The only weapon that will do is romance that's platonical
The only weapon that will do is romance that's platonical The only weapon that will do is romance that's platonical The only weapon that will do is romance that's platonitonical
This love of loves was blossoming in every book sequentially 'Twas clear to all Harmonians they'd conssumate eventually His daring and her intellect together quite invincible That they are heart and soul entwined are one and all convincible
There's a diffrence, plain to see, between this dedica-ti-on And vulgar aphrodisia that's just infatua-ti-on Unless you follow rules chauvinistic and pedantical Such deep and pure devotion surely can't but turn romantical
Such deep and pure devotion surely can't but turn romantical Such deep and pure devotion surely can't but turn romantical Such deep and pure devotion surely can't but turn romantimantical
It cannot be but destiny they're meant for true togetherness To do the hanky-panky in their birthday altogetherness The Herons have the brains of some amphibian Devonian I am the very model of a disgruntled Harmonian
The Herons have the brains of some amphibian Devonian She is the very model of a disgruntled Harmonian
That Weasleys are the face of sin I find is indisputable Their family impecunious is base and disreputable William is the vice of sloth, avoids the cosmetologist In Fred and George we see the greedy and the gourmandologist
Ron is envy incarnate and Percy is pretentiousness Ginevra Weasley can be none but lewdness and liscentiousness Charlie is the sin of wrath - he studies things draconian All clear as crystal to a true and disgruntled Harmonian
Charlie is the sin of wrath - he studies things draconian All clear as crystal to a true and disgruntled Harmonian
My homepage is an archetype of graphic coordina-ti-on And point by point lists the results of my investiga-ti-on I quote the chapter and the page of every interac-ti-on My case is watertight to any prudent satisfac-ti-on
And yet in doing research for my web prosecutorial I discovered things forboding and conspiratorial Corruption in our day and age is tragically prevalent The author's in the pay of interests wealthy and malevolent
The author's in the pay of interests wealthy and malevolent The author's in the pay of interests wealthy and malevolent The author's in the pay of interests wealthy and malevolevolent
Fear not, when I have brought to light the depths of this perfidity The author won't have any choice but to rewrite the book for me To rally others to my cause, my anthem is Didonian I am the very model of a disgruntled Harmonian
To rally others to her cause, her anthem is Didonian She is the very model of a disgruntled Harmonian
Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birthdate wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. FML
Years ago, the Seattle Symphony was doing Beethoven's Ninth under the baton of Milton Katims. At this point, you must understand two things: one, there's a long segment in this symphony where the bass players don't have a thing to do for page after page; and two, there used to be a tavern called Dez's 400 right across the street from the Seattle Opera House.
It was decided that during this performance, after the bass players had played their parts, they'd quietly lay down their instruments and leave the stage rather than sit on their stools looking (and feeling) dumb for twenty minutes. Once they got backstage, someone suggested that they go across the street and have a beer. After they had downed a couple rounds, one said, "Shouldn't we be getting back?" Another replied, "Oh, I anticipated that we'd need a little extra time, so I tied a string around the last pages of the conductor's score. When he gets down to there, Milton's going to have to slow the tempo way down while he waves the baton with one hand and fumbles with the string with the other."
So they had another round and finally returned to the Opera House, a little tipsy by now. As they came back on stage, one look at their conductor's face told them they were in serious trouble. Katims was furious because (get ready, here it comes...) it was the bottom of the Ninth, the score was tied, and the basses were loaded.
