Something Silly

[RM]

I'm not sure what inspired this silliness, but it has some snippets of a few Lightfoot tunes in the 'soundtrack' :

[charlene]

LOL!!
loved it.
wacky canucks...

[brink-]

Wonderful! Too funny, I love the little dance Jeanette did AFTER the bacon.

[Peter Bro10]

Ok Ron, where did you find this one??? huh?
I suspect you may have too much time on your hands!!
(Okay, I did get a slight chuckle out of it... but who is Nelson Eddy?)

I found it by using some weird search terms.......like Gordon Lightfoot + bacon.

You are correct........waaaaaay too much time.

Google Nelson Eddy.......there's a ton of info.

[RM]

Not really silly.....interesting imagery with a Lightfoot tune.

i never knew about that particular fiasco (aliens looking down must think we're truly idiots)...glad the eyesore is now gone...seemed like a scene from planet of the apes or whatever

wonder how the GL track got by the youtube police...we had a family gathering by Gord's childhood home so I threw some clips together to a Gord track but it was instantly flagged and disallowed...I was kinda impressed actually...it must be an actual human who has this policing job (they must watch a whole lot of crap, that's for sure) as I can't imagine there's a software tool that compares the audio to a HUGE database of audio...btw, nice bridge

thanks for the first vid, love that sort of creativity and wit

ps) wonder if there's anyone one the planet who doesn't love bacon...i guess it's actually more of a sodium love-in

Apparently, not many, if any. I just learned that this Saturday (9/5) is International Bacon Day.

funny vid!

oh and timely...I just bought some nitrate-free apple smoked bacon at Trader Joe's :biggrin:
Saw it listed, on sale in this month's fearless flyer

Had it the other night for dinner -breakfast wraps I made with all-TJ's ingredients. Scrambled eggs, the bacon, dried cherries, a little cheese and garlic-spinach tortilla

[RM]

Just something silly.........

'Curb Your Enthusiasm', 'Seinfeld' & 'Jay Leno' are my 3 favo(u)rite shows on TV.

YouTube - Seinfeld on Curb Your Enthusiasm - behind the scenes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgOjtILD9IE)

[charlene]

Do ya think Larry David's like that cuz he has two first names?

;)

[Jesse Joe]

I dont know if your asking me Char ?

But whatever the reason, he is really funny & talented. ;)

[charlene]

asking anyone who has an answer..lol

he IS a funny guy tho...

[RM]

Do ya think Larry David's like that cuz he has two first names?


I'm not sure Ma'am, but that's a very silly question. Nice work.

[charlene]

I try...I try..
;)

[jj]

'Curb Your Enthusiasm', 'Seinfeld' & 'Jay Leno'

i supposed it could be argued that GL has 2 last names;)

jjo, i've never even heard of that first program (am i the only one without HBO?), i've only seen about 3 episodes of the second (but i plan on borrowing a boxed set from the library and watching them all one weekend so i can catch up on what people have been making reference to for decades!) and i can take or leave Leno (that headline bloopers got old a looong time ago, imo) but i do tape the last 5 minutes of every show ie. his musical guests ...in general, i find these shows very whiney, like Woody Allen movies

BUT guys, thanks for the intro to this David guy, he musts be the quiet genius...i think the should run for president, i really like this one:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1309692922245007769#docid=79699402 99927345865

ps) some current event comments from jj:
- i like that they made public the names of two teen murderers who killed a 13 year old...and they got 'life' but they can be free in 10 years? ...even cavemen lived longer than 10 years so i think they need to fine tune that a bit

- the Tate killer finally died in prison...that is what i mean by 'a life sentence'...that evens the score for that killing and now she can go to hell in exchange for the taking the life of the -0.5 month old infant

- didn't mean to get heavy on this silly putty thread...talk about an odd justice system, how about this one?:

http://www.miltoncanadianchampion.com/news/article/280831

and to think i was nervous driving with an open six pack in the trunk

[charlene]

Larry David is on Letterman on Friday October 2..

[Jesse Joe]

To jj, Larry David is a genius for me just listening to him talk makes me laugh.

[Jesse Joe]

Thanks Charlene, I would have probably missed it. :)

With the recent buzz about Google street view, I thought this was an appropriate bit of silliness :

[charlene]

LOL - spooooooky!

[Jesse Joe]

That's very funny, makes one wonder about googling maybe 10, 20 years from now ! :eek:

What is really silly is that I seen this before......I think Char must have sent it to me.

[charlene]

I did send it to you cuz I saw it posted here by Ron..
lol

[jj]

wow, real time browsing! terrific...that was imo, basically pro quality all around..i need to take some time to click away on some of their other achievements, thx

[RM]

Rather topical......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjQ6_FHIFeE

[jj]

that was not really silly, just wonderful (some bits went over my head)

i have done that sort of subtext over ride but using Asian films and other subject matter in the past, it is pretty fun... especially when your audiences think it is real

thanks

YouTube- Just 4 Laughs : Gags (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YibgzJWAwn4)

[RM]

Good one.

(ps : thanks for keeping this boat afloat, I was getting envious of your 'Link to your favorite music video' thread.)

[jj]

dunno if this is silly or just interesting....i'd thought there was more CGI involved

YouTube- The making of Old Spice's commercial: The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

you could probably jump ahead to about the 5 minute mark...enjoy

[jj]

i don't know if this is silly or not...but i somehow ended up on it minutes after i was seeking Steve Carrel (the voice of the lovable Gru) clips

YouTube- Fred Flintstones voice

btw, i could not find clips of Bea doing her Betty Rubble voice or giggle

ps) i enjoyed Despicable Me more than Toy Story 3 but it was also fun stuff

i did get to finally see a non-kiddie film DVD recently...it was called Atonement and out a few years ago...hmmm, that is some fine filmmaking, imo

YouTube- Saoirse Ronan - KTLA interview

btw, the interviewer is a big Gord fan;)

[RM]

This is silly.....but I found it pretty funny....assuming you've heard about the uproar over the building of a mosque within blocks of the 9/11 attack.......

On his radio show, Dennis Miller asked his audience for ideas about what to place outside the mosque that would show the same irreverence to their religion. One caller suggested :

A hot dog stand with bikini-clad women selling kosher hot dogs.

That's just silly.....

[jj]

A hot dog stand with bikini-clad women selling kosher hot dogs..

dunno if this is still happening in FL, but there is a lot of butt floss adjusting going on in the video...i think i'd like to put on my own condoments... thanks, butt no thanks, lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpVm9NRx4io

a gal pitched bikini weenies on CBCs Dragon's Den show and got the thumbs down

i'm no patron but i'd say most of the dog vendors in Toronto are wrinkly men

[Jesse Joe]

Now that 'Dragon's Den' is a real great show jj. Didn't know the bald guy (forgot his name right now) could play guitar. :redface:

[jj]

jjo, you mean kevin o'leary (good dude in real life...he just puts up a front on tv, much like Cherry does)

little robert (mr hairspray) & big jim (pizza man and former wrestler) also nice

dunno nothing much about the other guy of the gal (with the leno hair)


rm i'm again administering cpr to this thread...
i thought this was pretty silly (and a tribute to the Tiger Woods divorce)

Right on Kevin O'leary... Mr. hairspray does look like someone I know down here.

The gal w/ the Leno hair... {lol} I would have never thought of that but you are right. Damn funny :biggrin:

[RM]

This has gone viral.......but it's silly.

you stumped me, jjo?


hey, it's ironic that dogs seem to always be scratching themselves except when situated in front on the tv (in this case anyhow)

if this were a man, the opposite would be true

[Jesse Joe]

you stumped me, jjo?

Just something silly......
------------------
Ken and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year, and every year Ken would say, 'Edna, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.'

Edna always replied, 'I know Ken, but that helicopter ride is fifty bucks. And fifty bucks is fifty bucks!'

One year Ken and Edna went to the fair, and Ken said, 'Edna, I'm 75 years old now. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'

To this, Edna replied, "Ken that helicopter ride is fifty bucks, and fifty bucks is fifty bucks!'

The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word, I won't charge you a penny! But if you say just one word, it's fifty dollars’.

Ken and Edna agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Ken and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'

Ken replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Edna fell out. But you know, "Fifty bucks is fifty bucks!'

i guess this is tragic, but their choice of hunting hours and clothing was silly, imo

i guess she let out a big WOHOOOO in that car...probably a belch as well

i'm actually surprised that hubby wasn't the one mistaking her for a moose...

anyone have big 80s hair photos for posting? i had a big hair wave in the 70s (one that a small surfer could actually ride on)

anyhow, what a gal, lol

[formerlylavender]

OMG, her hair is much worse than mine from the 80s! Unbelievable! I have to show my son, who was just last week making fun of my high school sophomore picture:( I have naturally wavy hair, so it didn't take much work to get it puffy, lol.

[charlene]

she's got a small family living in that hair!
good grief...

[Jim Nasium]

My silly something.

A young man in the the US won a ticket to watch Superbowl. He was overjoyed, he loved Superbowl but could never get a ticket. On the day, he arrived at the stadium and found his seat, but it was way up in row ZZZ and the view was not great. He noticed an empty seat way own front. He waited for 10 minutes and when nobody sat there he decide to nip down. An old gentleman was in the next seat, the young man asked if anybody was sitting there. "No" said the old gent "please sit down." The young man was overjoyed and told the old gent how amazed he was that nobody was sitting there. "The seat was for my wife, who has died." Said the old gent, "we were married for 50 years and saw our first Superbowl on our honeymoon and have seen every Superbowl since, this is my first one without my wife." The young man expressed his sorrow and asked the old gent why he had not offered the ticket to a relative or close friend. "I would have done." Said the old boy, "but they are all at the funeral."

[charlene]

LOLOL!!!

Really, a lot of GL tunes would make great horse names.

But then, anytime I've ever bet on a horse it's been a "race among the ruins"

Silly, but fun.

YouTube - Canadian Police Chase (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsxV49pmnL8&feature=feedrec_grec_index)

as one commenter pointed out, the cop should have a Tim cup clenched between his teeth as he gets out of the car...classic

[RM]

Good one. That's just downright silly.

[formerlylavender]

The Canadian Police Chase is hilarious! Good timing for a much-needed laugh.

[jj]

And it was likely a "bit" cheaper to produce than most of the.superbowl ones

[Lisa J]

The Canadian Police Chase definately got an out loud chuckle out of me! thanks
