He should have said it, without a doubt. Oddly, about 30sec before I posted this comment, I posted another apt Python reference in response to another video... it was an odd morning: "Sooooo, if Obama weighs more than a duck..???" http://www.videosift.com/video/AlJazeera-Misconceptions-of-ObamaHILARIOUS
In reply to this comment by grinter: "..and I discovered that the only reason that she's standing at that podium in the first place is that she's been nailed there!"
Well, I cannot really say I enjoyed this. I mean, the mere thought of Palin possibly becoming the vp is more than any reasonably thinking person could take, isn't it? But I had been wondering (having access to maps, unlike Ms Palin and Miss Teen South Carolina) what she would actually be able to see "from her home", but was too lazy to dig into it. So, thanks for doing my research for me. Are you from Alaska or did you just happen to come across this vid or did you seriously do some research?
In reply to this comment by Octopussy: Thanks for posting this. I know it doesn't really matter, but I had been wondering what/how much/from where one would actually have a view of Russia from Alaska (realising one couldn't possibly see it from either Wasilla, Juneau or Anchorage).
His 3 albums are some of the most valued treasures of my 90s CD collection, so I couldn't help jumping back on the old 900-foot bandwagon by posting another of his videos. Didn't know he used to have long hair!
P.S. Your avatar is the first album I ever owned! (yes, on vinyl)
Your Montaigne vid went dead. I don't remember if you made the youtube playlist or not, but here's parts 1, 2, and 3, so you can create a new one or fix an existing one.
In reply to this comment by wazant: Hey, thanks for promote! (Again!) I was especially disappointed when this one didn't make it. Good to see it has now.
The ultimate sarcastic remark both illustrating the ignorance of another and conveying a supreme truth which cannot be argued...
...well done. I'd say you're a masterdebater
In reply to this comment by wazant: ^---Bill O, are you saying that people from San Francisco have forced you into a homosexual lifestyle? I had no idea. How is it going with that? They never seem to find the time to come and force it on me; instead they seem intent on leaving me to enjoy whatever type of sex I like. Wish I could say the same for the Jehovah's Witnesses.
I'll trump that with the following observation. In Vancouver we have a Steam operated clock in our historic disctrict of Gastown (it's not really steam operated, but that's beside the point). The clock is completely inaccurate, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
On the quarter-hour the clock whistles. People wait until it whistles before taking their flash photos. Think about it- people take flash photographs of SOUND!
In reply to this comment by wazant: I used to think that people taking flash photos of fireworks were the dumbest people on earth--until I saw this video, which features people taking flash photos of a movie. It's like trying to pour yourself a beer at the bottom of a swimming pool.
In reply to this comment by wazant: Ha ha! I was also at one of those YES shows (at Meadowlands arena in New Jersey). Same enthusiastic reaction there (and here). For me, that is THE classic bugs episode. Just found it on YouTube and thought to submit it here, but too late...
Personal anecdote: Right before I went to bootcamp (Navy) in 1987 I saw Yes in concert during their 'Big Generator' tour. They had no opening act, but they ran a couple of cartoons before they started. They showed two cartoons...
When I originally posted this vid it was viewable everywhere. They then made that change... Bastards....
In reply to this comment by wazant: Hmmm. Downvote for not being visible outside of the "US". The statement suggests that we instead play games on their site. OR, we could go to Bittorrent, which IS visible everywhere and provides all of the Robot Chicken episodes in high quality for free...
Thanks for trying. I think I know where I'll use my first promote.
In reply to this comment by wazant: Hey, saw your playlist and subtle plea for more material so I thought to submit a couple of my favorite Dead classics. You'll find 'em in the queue.
hey, i just uploaded parts of the omid djalili show, he is amezingly funny. to think that the u.s wanna bomb clever people like this one is a joke. u should check it out, greets, dead.
Excellent choices. I'll add the 2nd one to the playlist during the day so hopefully they can both get some more eyeballs. If you haven't listened to it already, check out that Jack Straw - one of the best I've ever heard (hurry up and get gold so you can save it for me! )

Interesting point! Thanks. Is that your own formulation, or can you cite it for me?

Isn't it also Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers) that we see here in a cameo as the hippie in the men's room?

NP. Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow! Another promote from Jonny! I must owe you like 10 stars by now...
I think that was my very first attempted sift. Always wondered why it never made it, since I think it's quite cool.

off to rechannel some car sifts.
