Life Sized Mousetrap Game
Nov. 10th, 2007 07:03 pmThe Mouse Trap - Preview Clip from "Makers" from Brian Boyko on Vimeo.
I found this in on the Orlando Sentinel's Webpage. It's from MakerFaire, I think, but it's fun. We had a good time watching it.
More Sesame Street

mactavish in a conversation on IM-
( Sesame Street Retrospective 1969-2004-be warned there are some clips that made me weep. )
( The Llama song. If anyone knows where to find this song, please let me know-I need it for when I'm in labor. )
( And Mr. Hooper's picture. Which makes me cry...Will Lee was a really nice man (a friend of my uncle Jack, too. )

Politics is Queen
Jul. 29th, 2007 09:30 pmWe're watching the CNN/YouTube Debate at the moment. Here's a conversation we just had:
Cayne:"He's trying to tap dance around that question. If he can't tap dance around that question, he doesn't deserve my vote. I'm a Canadian and I know that."
Me:"You don't get a vote."
Cayne: "Okay, you're right, but you guys have namby-pamby debates down here."
(Follow with discussion of Prime Minister's Question Hour, and the shows "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minster".)

Don't Blame Me

The video includes full frontal male nudity, so is probably not safe for most workplaces, but the song is very catchy. No, I didn't check to see whether or not they were circumcised.
Assorted Stuff on the Internet
Dec. 7th, 2006 01:10 amMary Cheney, Pregnant
( AP article behind the cut )
Very little attention has been paid to the fact that Dick Cheney's other daughter is also pregnant. Why? Because Mary Cheney is gay? Is that really a good reason to make a big deal out of it? More important, as far as I'm concerned, is that Mary Cheney and her partner of fifteen years live in a state where that partner will not be permitted any legal rights to the child that she helps raise. Suppose, fifteen years from now, a tragic accident takes the life of Mary Cheney (should have known better than to go hunting with Dad or something)-then what?
Assorted thing number 2:
Hornymanatee.com I didn't believe it when Conan O'Brien mentioned it on his show, but they made it happen. (Reasonably work safe, by the way. Unless your work doesn't like furry manatees)
Assorted thing number 3:
"Avenue Jew"-a piece performed by the casts of the musicals Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof, spoofing both.
melebeth was kind enough to provide a link to the script, too.
