A Few Happy Things

Jordan linked to this a while ago, and I’m still watching it every few days: We No Speak Americano

This Lionel Richie Lost Poster is so right.

And speaking of posters, yes to Posters on a Stick.

Watch your back, pointer finger.

Wait, just wait for 1:45. If that doesn’t make you miss your dad, you’re dead inside.

    Waht a terrific little collection! I can’t decide which I like best. Let’s just say i had audible reactions to all of them.

  • Nicole Says:

    We No Speak Americano – it’s like watching Irish Step-Dancing, but with hands, instead of feet!?

  • Nicole Says:

    Doh! Perhaps I should research before commenting.

    I’ve been to the Minnesota State Fair. Those crazy Minnesotans put everything tasty on a stick! I had a foot long corndog that couldn’t have been tastier!

    Are those two the couple on the ‘McDonald’s coffee is magic’ commercial?

  • amie Says:

    Woman! If you haven’t already, go immediately to see Rodrigo y Gabriela, and note that it’s Gabby who turns the guitar into a percussion instrument. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8zT_OxsDFs&feature=fvst. And go see them live as soon as possible. Balm for the soul, I tell you.

    Thanks for the giggle about the pointer fingers. WHERE do people come up with this stuff!?

  • Megs Says:

    In another life, I was an Irish Dancer and that is how we all practiced our steps when we weren’t actually dancing. The first time I saw this video of Cleary & Harding (who used to dance for Riverdance) it brought back vivid memories of being in class, sitting cross legged in the back waiting for my turn, and our teacher, Colleen, yelling over the music “IF YOU’RE SITTING YOU BETTER BE DANCING IT ON YOUR HANDS!!!”
    10 years later and I still subconsciously ‘finger dance’ sometimes when I’m lost in thought.
    It’s worth watching their other videos on their YouTube channel; they are doing some interesting things with Irish Dance. And yes, that’s them in the McDonald’s commercial.

  • Maureen Says:

    Megs, thanks for that! My big question as I watched that video was “How the hell do people come up with this stuff?” Now I know!

  • Kris Says:

    Oh, that last one made me weep. Some day, I hope my little one looks at me with that much love.

  • Kate S. Says:

    Oh, that last link was absolutely precious! Thank you for sharing.
