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.

The guy on the right blinks so rarely it frightens me.

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

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?

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.

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.

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!
