Cartman, iPod and the Wild Wild West

Several weeks ago (over a month ago - maybe 2!) I decided to listen to my iPod by song starting with the first one and to go through the whole thing alphabetically. I just finished today!

Of course, I don't listen to it all day every day, and many of those are podcasts up to an hour long. I didn't listen to all of the podcasts, but some I did partially and some the whole thing. Whenever I synched the iPod or listened to something else in particular on it, I lost my place and had to remember where I left off. Usually I would go back to far. Those are the reasons it took me so long to get through it. Right now it shows me having 2,554 songs on it, but that includes a whole bunch of podcasts.

So anyway, when I got to the W's a few days ago I heard the old 80's song Wild Wild West and that made me think of Will Smith's Wild Wild West so I went and got it off iTunes.

I finished up the alphabetical and went to my "newest" playlist which pulls the stuff I've gotten most recently and heard the Will Smith Wild Wild West and realized I cannot listen to it now without hearing Eric Cartman sing it! That cracks me up.

YouTube Birth Year Meme

Go to YouTube and do a search for your birth year and post a video from the results.

For 1963 here is my favorite -- a bizarre bicycle safety film with kids with monkey masks and tails. It's 14 minutes long and I didn't think I would watch the whole thing but I couldn't look away. The kids who don't practice good bicycle safety end up in all kinds of accidents, including incidents involving steam rollers, open manhole covers and dark tunnels! In the end only one little boy makes it to the picnic, which apparently is why they titled the film: "One Got Fat". Enjoy...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! This spooky car ad gave me goosebumps!!

This is how the story was told to me. A director was looking for video of cars driving along a country road for a documentary he was making. He came across this bit of video, which had some weird notes with it.

Apparently they were filming this piece for a car advertisement. Halfway through, just as the car was passing some trees, there appears to be a kind of mist in front of the car. Then it gets really freaky. It's really hard to see at first. I had to look at it 3 times before I could make it out. It seems to be the shape of a person directly in front of the car, crossing the road. But the car passes right thru it.

Yeah.

If you listen very carefully you can hear the cameraman say, "What the heck is that?"

The ad was never shown. Apparently, this stretch of road is a notorious accident magnet, and after seeing this thing they thought it better to can the whole thing.
