Phucks Per Minute

Published by Jody under general

List of films ordered by uses of the word “fuck”. The top 10 films in their list fucking suck, although I only saw one of them. I’m surprised Pulp Fiction is only #15 on the fucking list.
VINCENT: I think we should be going now.
JULES: Don’t do that! Don’t you fuckin’ do that! [...]

While A Ukulele Gently Weeps

Published by Jody under movies, tv & video, music & audio

A stunning version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps performed on a ukulele. No shit. Watch it all. It’s worth it.
About half way through the video he plays so fast the frame-rate can’t keep up. I almost applauded when it finished.

Doing Something Different Every Day

Published by Jody under humour, life

This Blog Will Change Your Life:
Boasting to be “part instruction manual, part therapy, part cult, part sheer anarchy” this book [This Book Will Change Your Life] offers 365 days worth of instructions for hysterical living. It just so happens my life can use a little hysteria. What will follow starting tomorrow, Monday October 17, 2005, [...]

How to Play Greg Brown

“What we have to learn to do, we have to learn by doing.”
—Aristotle

I just learned how to play Greg Brown’s song, “Rexroth’s Daughter,” from this site: Greg Brown’s Songs: Transcriptions for Guitar. I quickly discovered I don’t have the voice for that particular song, so now I’m moving on to “Jacob’s Ladder” from Honey [...]

How About If I’m Mister Purple?

Published by Jody under humour

Jedi Dogs:
Holmes Sweet Holmes Productions presents an amalgam of Star Wars ep. III Revenge of the Sith and Reservoir Dogs with hilarious results.
A 2 minute and 33 second clip from Star Wars III overdubbed with classic dialogue from Reservoir Dogs. Not laugh-out-loud funny, but amusing.

Michael Moore Is Worried About Canada

Published by Jody under canada

Michael Moore Statement on Canadian Election:
Oh, Canada — you’re not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That’s a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony, but this is no longer funny. Maybe it’s a new form of Canadian irony [...]

A Bar Made Of Books

Published by Jody under consumer, reading & writing

The Book Bar:
One of our non-Vestal housemates worked at the Stanford library, and his job included the task of throwing away old books, which apparently the other librarians couldn’t bear to do. We decided to rescue these books from that awful fate – and what better use for them than a bar from which to [...]

Cauliflower Popcorn Video

Jody and Caitlyn decided to make cauliflower popcorn (6mins, 9mb) by roughly following this recipe. The result in the best episode of Sunday Morning Scoff ever.
Jody had this to say about it: “It was a fun experiment. We’ll make another video someday, although I don’t know of what.” (Music by Greg Brown.)
Update: I’ve been J-Walked [...]
