The last Youtube video I post today - the problem with random web surfing.

I have started doing French lesson’s at work on Pat’s prompting, and the last one (a couple of weeks ago now) was particularly entertaining for our vibrant discussion of recent films we’d seen, including Michael Bay’s Transformers and The Simpsons movies. For reviews of those, check me out on Flixster via Facebook.
But one particularly useful thing we did was translate the Spider-Pig song into French. For anyone wondering, it goes a little something like this.
Le cochon arraigné, le cochon arraigne, il fait quel que chose qu’on cochon arraigné fait… est-ce qu’il peu balancer sur un atoile… non, il ne peu pas balancer sur un atoile, il est un cochon… regard dehors, il est le cochon arraigné…
If you think I’ve gone mad, or don’t know what I’m talking about, check out…:
Corrections to the French welcome! But what a way to learn a language! Can’t be topped.
Now, I’m not a big fan of the Mac/PC ads, and I like both Marvel and DC comics. But these are brilliant, from “some random guy” on YouTube.
Thanks to Chris for pointing them out to me. You can watch them all on the dude’s YouTube site.

A hybrid of two interests - comedy and gangsta rap. Very entertaining. Wonder if this is part of the BBC/YouTube deal or if it’ll get taken down?
Went to a gig tonight and we got to thinking what alternative lyrics the Killers went through before they came up with the ever memorable “I’ve got soul, but I’m not a soldier…”
Suggestions:
I’ve got to bowl, but I’m not a boulder
I’ve got Lou, but I’m not a loser
I’ve got a boil, but I’m not a boiler
I’ve got a foal, but I’m not a folder
Any more for any more?
I mis-heard something Tom said last night and thought it might make a great pop song. Sadly someone had already beat me to it.
Don’t blame it on the sublight
don’t blame it on the nav guide
don’t blame it on the fuel line
blame it on the Wookiee
Geekily brilliant, and better than I could have done.
Ok, everyone’s linked to this already but its still awesome and very much in character with me.
Christmas wishes to y’all, every one.
I think I might be related to Jables. Check out this photo of my brother, Arvind, and note the similarity of goatee to JB’s. Henceforth I shall be known as Armand D.
Today was the D-Line.
When I got the Orange Wednesday text in after a hard day’s, erm, rockin’, I was pretty psyched. Very few people I know showed any sign of enthusiasm, mild interest, or even moderate contempt at seeing this film: even my most juvenile friends thought it would be rubbish. Naysayers. They didn’t bother me. Patty Y joined me for what was possibly the cinematic experience of the century (according to the trailer).
It was Destiny.
The movie is exactly as good as it should be. Completely true to everything that is the D: fast paced, funny, coherent in a trippy sort of way, and definitely rocking. Man, does this movie rock. And whilst it plays to the conventions very well… it does some things differently. Sometimes when you expect it to rock… it rolls. And when you’re expecting a patronising speech… you get a bizarre lesson about Satan being in everyone’s heart.
I am not sure that non-fans, or the weak of spirit, will really get this film. I mean, if you don’t like swearing, then you can ******* **** right off. If you don’t like rocking, well, you too, buddy. So I don’t know if I can, in good conscience, recommend it to everyone. But if you’ve ever chuckled at *any* of Jack Black’s songs, go see Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, on a disappointingly limited release in the UK right now. It won’t make you laugh as much as Borat did, but it will make you laugh.
Oh, and that couple that was making out in the front of the cinema at the Trocadero? What was that all about? Mind you, I suspect the D would approve…
Aside: my ultimate team-up right now. For a band, project, comic book, whatever:
Jables & Cage
Kevin Smith
Neil Gaiman
John Cusack
Matt Stone & Trey Parker
Scarlett Johannson (because she should be in everything)
That would be great.
This is quite funny, if you have some time to spare and can cope with simultaneous video clips. To be honest, they all look the same to me, quality wise. YouTube has better community, Revver pays you for content, and, erm, Google Video… owns YouTube? That’s pretty much its strongest feature.
Via Scoble: I must get about half my interesting links at the moment between Scoble and BoingBoing. The volume of Scoble’s posts is scary. Oh, Chris Pirillo is the man who made the video.
