Thing a Week 3 – W’s Duty
For a long time I have been obsessed with the word “duty” which sounds to me a lot like the word “doody” (as in, you know, poo). It’s gotten really bad, so that ever time someone talks about their solemn duty, or how so-and-so has fallen down on their duty, it makes me giggle. So this week’s thing is, well, I guess it’s GWB talking about taking a crap. You will probably find this funny if you have the mind of an 8-year-old boy.
And also, in a strange coincidence, I saw a link today on Waxy and Gawker to an even better example of what can be done with all the GWB audio that’s available from The Bots. This is sort of amazing actually. What I did took me forever and it’s still pretty rough around the edges. And so I must give the maddest props ever to the geniuses who so skillfully manipulated tiny slices of audio to make our president sing COVERS OF SONGS in the most uncanny, creepy way. You must listen:
Van Morrison
Oops, I accidentally wrote over my original post about Van Morrison’s contractual obligation songs. Now I forgot what I said, but here is the link:
Shining Redux
Holy crap. This thing is really funny: Shining Redux
They Do Crush Everything
Japanese scientists have become the first to capture the giant squid on film alive in the actual ocean (photos and story here). This is a really big deal for squid people, they’ve been waiting a long time for someone to figure this one out. They followed some sperm whales and set out a bait bag with an automatic camera. The squid attacked the bait, got caught on a hook, and tore one of its tentacles off in order to escape. Nice, Japanese scientists, real nice. Why do you think the giant squid is so elusive? Maybe because it doesn’t want to have to tear its own tentacles off every time it has its picture taken?
Apparently the tentacle was delicious.
