There is nothing funnier than Izzard.
"Day one: Rang bell, cat fucked off.
Day two: Rang bell, cat went and answered door.
Day three: Rang bell, cat said he'd eaten earlier.
Day four: Went to ring bell, but cat had stolen batteries.
Day five: Went to ring bell with new batteries, but cat put his paw on bell so it only made a
thunk
noise. Then cat rang his own bell!
I. ate. food."
Eddie Izzard and "Do you have a
flag?!?"
is another one that kills me. Oh, and the French lesson about how you would bring your monkey and cat etc. to set up the scene so you could use your vocabulary? Oh. God. I nearly peed myself the firts time I saw that.
Anything he does in a foreign language cracks me up. Summarizing
The Italian Job
in French? Priceless. Then after all that, "If you don't speak French, that's the last bit of it...I also took German." and then proceeds to do the bit in German.
I'm going to listen to Izzard right now!
ION, I don't know if any of you heard this on NPR today, but I thought it was a *really* cool idea, especially for political junkies or government students. Heard of fantasy football? Well this is Fantasy Congress. Build your own teams of senators and representatives! Get points for their successful legislation! Design snappy uniforms for them!
Too. Funny.
Oh! And follow-up post from last night--the word I was trying to remember is "transcoding", which is another form of code-sharing (that I think Cash had suggested?).
So, I plugged my iPod into my computer to charge up, since I can't find the wall charger. It asks if I want to update the iPod software -- fine, good. Then it says, "To finish updating, unplug iPod and plug it into the wall charger." Er...
So now I can't use my iPod. Curse you, Apple!
