SNL Digital Shorts
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 23/12/2008 21:14:16A friend of mine emailed through an amusing video that was on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago:
Jizz In My Pants
The facial expression are classic
This is another video from The Lonely Island, a group of filmmakers including Andy Samberg, a repertory player from SNL. A couple of my other favourites:
Dick In A Box
I think it should be obvious what the censored word is
Another favourite is Lazy Sunday, but as the NBC site doesn't work in Australia - here's something completely different:

Street Fighter: The Later Years
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 05/11/2008 20:25:40If you're a fan of the old school Street Fighter series of games you may get a kick out of a College Humor video series entitled Street Fighter: The Later Years.
Pretty funny, a nice walk down memory lane and surprisingly good production values considering. Here's the first episode:
Street Fighter: The Later Years
It's a series of 9 short episodes, so it's worth watching a couple so you can see your favourite character.

Stop looking at me, swan!
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 31/10/2008 19:58:07My last balloon animal, Necky, needed a friend. Enter Swanana:
I admit, my hand is strategically placed here to ensure the swan's head is pointed down
I had a spare blue balloon - so I have the Swan a lake to play in. I think I'll have to start looking for patterns for making a penguin.

Trivial
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 26/10/2008 14:35:37Last night I attended a trivia night for my old primary school. Our table won the night (which was fun - as I've never been part of a winning team before) and everyone seemed to have fun.
I often take a relaxed approach to these kinds of events. I will generally stay quiet and let other people answer most of the questions - only piping up if I'm sure about the answer. I don't know why - but during the "TV & Movies" round I changed my approach slightly.
The question was "". I think I was buoyed from getting a couple of answers right the previous round, so before the music had even started playing I stood up and said to the whole table "Mork & Mindy. And it was a spin-off from Happy Days." I didn't know why I would even try to guess without hearing the music, so I sat back down to a few odd looks.
The light 80's-style music starts to play and people are guessing various shows like Dallas etc. After about 20 seconds I start to think that the music may actually have been from Mork & Mindy, so I reiterated my guess. We ended up going with it - and sure enough, I was right (to much high-fiving).
For those that don't remember the show's opening - here's a YouTube. The bit of the music that they played starts at 0:47 into the clip. Enjoy.

Awesome Blossom!
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 23/10/2008 20:19:29How did I not know about a Blooming Onion?
Bloomin' Heck
It's basically a large onion, cut up, and deep-fried. Yumsy! Apparently the Outback Steakhouse, an Australian-themed restaurant, invented the dish. This is a little odd - as I'm pretty sure it's not an Australian dish.
Either way - I'm keeping an eye out for some onions in bloom!

Not Will Ferrell Trivia
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 21/09/2008 10:08:53Updated by Joel Dixon at 19/02/2009 22:20:49 - youtube video taken down - linked original source
Another reason I like Will Ferrell:

Timmy didn't think about the Mini-Feed
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 27/08/2008 21:01:43Actual screenshot of one of my Facebook friend's Mini-Feed (I've changed the names to "Timmy" to protect the horny):
Either my 15-year-old self borrowed Timmy's PC when he wasn't looking - or Timmy was bored a few nights ago and went trawling for Facebook funbags.
I must say, Fan de Big Tits does sound like a fun group.

Thongs and Superglue
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 06/08/2008 22:13:16The title says it all - I received the following image in an email forward:
People falling down are funny. Especially when they are holding a drink.

The Deep Voiced Knight
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 04/08/2008 22:56:05I saw The Dark Knight on the weekend and enjoyed it muchly. It goes without saying that Heath Ledger's contribution was incredible. One small aspect of his performance that I didn't expect when going in was his portrayal of the Joker's voice - it was a pleasant surprise. Christian Bale's take on Batman's "man voice" however - was very distracting.
Looks like I'm not the only one to think this - nor the most eloquent. One of the blogs I read hosted a mock interview with the caped crusader recently - which sums up my feelings quite well.
Indeed.

Jonathan Roy charged with assault
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 03/08/2008 11:19:37As mention in an earlier post, Jonathan Roy - son of hall-of-fame goaltender Patrick Roy - basically assaulted Bobby Nadeau in a very one-sided hockey fight.
Looks like someone over there's doing something right - as Jonathan's just been charged with assault.
I'd be surprised if he's faced with jail time, but it's good to the authorities are making a stand on this one. Incidents like this give hockey an bad name - which it doesn't always deserve.
