Weekly YouTube

A little known fact is that Dutch, Bizzo and I (me?) send a lot of emails to each other. And by "we send a lot of emails to each other" I mean "I send a lot of emails to Dutch and Bizzo and Dutch responds."

....

Ok, that's not totally true. Dutch sends emails sometimes too. And Biz responds to 1/10^sd of them. But still. A lot of emails. Some of them turn into posts, some of them are us just pretty much saying things like "Jesus", "That's Awesome" and "Holy Shit."

This, my friends, fits into both categories.

I mean, I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but this is the Greatest YouTube Video ever. No. Seriously, It deserves the caps. It really is that good. I mean, we all agree about how awesome this one video is. And we never agree on anything. Except maybe drinking. And Zombies. And the Nortonic cause.

I digress Here:

I know it features "Sirius" by The Alan Parsons Project, which was first^sd2 featured prominently in the 90s Bulls campaigns^sd3. But still. It is the greatest thing you will ever watch on youtube ever.

You're Welcome.

Like BHGP^sd4 says:

Let's recap what just happened. The mascot did all of the following in rapid succession:

1. Appeared from a constellation (Ursa Major, to be precise, and folks, this is one major fucking Ursa)
2. Exploded in a blue nuclear shockwave that destroyed an entire planet that was probably full of nonbelievers
3. Flew around space to Kenny Loggins' classic "Highway to the Danger Zone," even though you're not supposed to be able to hear things in space
4. Acquired a cosmic hockey stick from who the fuck knows where
5. Made its own fucking wormhole for intergalactic travel
6. Growled at everybody and bared its teeth
7. Used said cosmic hockey stick to knock a satellite into another dimension for no discernable reason
8. Made our moon completely explode by flying very close to it and growling again extra hard
9. Came to Earth in order to flatten the entire city of Anchorage with its atomic bomb powers
10. Ran over 300 miles to Fairbanks in about 5 seconds instead of showing remorse over the genocide it just committed
11. Found the one building in the entire city with electricity and tore its roof off
12. Jumped into said arena and wrecked the playing surface the teams were hoping to use
13. Made Metallica's music play sheerly by force of will, and the good Metallica, none of this Whiskey in the Jaro[sic] shit
14. Went back into his own logo, which is now covered in exploding blue flames

Seriously, this video needs to be watch by everyone in America. It might even be able to solve the Health Care crisis^sd5. I know that I was sick before I watched it like 50 times, and now I feel better. Of course, that could be the vodka. You never know with me!

Watch it now. It made me like Alaska again.^sd6

When I first moved where I live now I didn't have internet. Now, this would hurt most people but it just about crippled me. Mostly because i read like somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 blogs^sd. But, luckily, I have 3 library cards. So I got to use the internet for a total of like 5 hours a day!

Whatever, I was excited. Anyhoo, I spent most of my time on the computer on gReader reading sites. And the hardest part was that I didn't really have the time to read all. So what I did was emailed them to myself. Among the many, many things that I emailed to myself were videos that I didn't have time to watch. The other day, I was trying to get through some of the youtube videos and came upon this.

Nyle "Let The Beat Build" from Nyle on Vimeo.

I'm not saying that Beyonce's video wasn't good. But how can it be one of the best videos of all time if it isn't even better than this one? It was done in one take! I mean, yeah, the girl at the end is probably a bit unnecessary. But still, it is one of the best video I've ever seen. One take! Seriously!

Sometimes you get the bear and sometime the bear gets you.

Ok, I have no idea what that means. But sometimes, so-ometimes you find the YouTube of the week by accident. You are just reading along and it hits you. You see, this week (if I get this post up first), the YouTube of the Week is about hope. And triumph. And the perseverance of the human spirit. Or, its a trailer from an awesome documentary, you decide.

You see American Movie could probably be made about me. In like 5 years. This is mostly because one of my life goals is to have a documentary made about me. Because my life is awesome. But the difference between myself and Mark Borchardt is that I have many obsessions. I mean I have Ohio State Football^sd, I have cofabg, I have the Republic of Nortonia. Borchardt has a singular focus. Coven. Coven is the thing that consumes his life. I mean, I could go on about what American Movie means to me and the American dream and all of that. But I advise you go watch it. Its free on YouTube until the end of the month. Also, it is Rated R, so you need to have a Google or YouTube account to view it. But I know that Bizzo and Dutch have both of them.

Raised Glass to the Mental Floss Blog, one of my favorite blogs on the tubes.

This is going to make the "Hot Coffee" minigame even better

via kottke, two women play Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor on FAO Schwarz's piano. Sorta like Big, but more awesome.

Well, at least to me. Because I'm a dork, mostly.

Of note, I'm extremely happy with this title.

This speaks for itself. 

Because I responded to Dutch in an e-mail. And can't believe I haven't used this in a post yet.

Because it's only barely funny.

Ear worm you!

Seriously, I cannot get this out of my head.

For the last time people, THIS WASN'T ME.

Though it did put this music into my head.
