Hollowpoint Sniper Hyperbole

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I was driving to pick up Vietnamese from a little place just around the corner from us and I was listening to 88.5 Live FM and a song was playing in which I heard:

I’s the b’y that built the boat
I’s the b’y that sailed her
I’s the b’y the sunk the ship
You’re the one that save me

The first two lines of that are taken from a very old Newfoundland song and it blew my mind when I heard it on the radio.  I had to look up.

I haven’t been able to find too much in the way of actual facts, but the song is by Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker and they are indeed Canadian, but not from Newfoundland.  Which just adds to the mystery.

I’m hypnotized by the song now, and I think their T-Shirt looks pretty cool.

Tonight on CBC while watching the “speed-walking” event:

CBC Commentator: “…you need to keep both feet on the ground…”

Anita: “Both feet?”

Me: “He means you need to keep one foot on the ground at all times.”

Anita: “Yeah, ’cause you can’t walk with both feet on the ground.”

Me: “Well…  you could Moonwalk.”

I leave envisioning the arrangements of a Olympic Moonwalking race as an exercise for the reader.

Just wow.

Why is nothing I do ever as cool as what you find on the internet?

3 Lines, yet so much weird.

This is crazy. I heard it on the radio a few days ago and I can’t get it out of my mind!


Speaking of sleep, I need to get some myself… let’s see what’s wrong with the post layout later…

Update: Didn’t care for all the messing around trying to figure out what was wrong with embedded videos, so I just installed EasyTube to take care of that for me. Yay!

C-10

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

People are screaming over over the C-10 bill that will allow the government to withhold any funding (and can anything Canadian be made without GoC money??) if the resulting film isn’t acceptable.

And if I understand things right it doesn’t get judged one way or another until after the film is made…  So once you’re finished then your money can be pulled from you.

Steve’s a jerk.

I’ve sent a email about it to my duly elected representative.  Have you?

(But on the bright side, I did find a YouTube clip of one of my favorite Kids in the Hall sketches on the facebook group!)

I’m just the Typical

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical

[Listening to: Typical by Mute Math off the album Mute Math (3:57)]

The N-Word.

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Sorcha posted a video to the Facebook page. It’s a clip from ABC about all the planes landing in Gander after Sept. 11.


And I don’t think they pronounce Newfoundland correctly once throughout the whole thing! Here’s the simple rule of thumb for proper pronunciation:

In Newfoundland we all like to have a good time so -

New-Fun-Land

Just like that. Newfunland. Not NewFinland, not Newfoundlind, or even the understandable Newfoundland. (They always seem to drag out the found.)

I’m not even going to get started on that other N-Word.

Now even robot’s can dance better then me.

Seriously, the little guy can cut a rug.

I want one of these on my desk at work! For now I’ll have to settle with finding the album the song is off.

That deserves a link.

Faith and Devotion

Friday, December 8th, 2006

I couldn’t say that I’m among the the devout, I try more to look at the message behind the messiah. If the rapture was held tomorrow I’d be wondering where everybody went.

I’d like to say I was agnostic more then anything else, but I’m not sure I even believe in that.

Aliens, Magic and Life after Death are all things I wish I could believe in.

In any case, I still find it easy to get a good hate on for Righteous Christians. Like Vegetarians, it won’t be long into a conversation before they’re telling you just how Christian they are. These are the people with bumper stickers and bracelets all trying to convince you that they are very Christian. They spout Gay Marriage is WRONG, Pro-Choice means you’re Anti-Life and you’re damned if you don’t do as I say.

It’s kinda sickening. It’s been 2000 years since this poor fella got nailed to a tree for saying:

Hey, wouldn’t it be great if we just went around being nice to each other?

-Jesus

And some people can’t even do that all while saying how much of a follower they are. You’d like to point out the hypocrisy but these people are one Televanglist away from blowing themselves up on street corners in the name of God.

I stubled across these videos that make me think on the subject more:
