i'm so hooked on youtube.com. there are so many interesting little videos and projects going on there and i was wondering if people could share some of their favorite youtube links. bustie recommendations are always the best. thanks in advance.
one of my current favorites is "the daily soup", with a series of episodes about this guy dating three different women. it's highly flawed from a feminist perspective, but entertaining. here's a link:

Indeed, kitten. He and Stephen Colbert are the only newslike shows I can stomach on teevee.
Oh, and that dirty dancing video...so funny! Back in the day, I watched dirty dancing nearly everyday....*swoons for swayze*

I hate to be the stupid one here, but could someone please explain the Dirty Dancing clip to me? I felt like it was written in code.

Jun 11 2006, 09:21 PM
Kittenb, I think it was written mostly in slang from the Twenties. I had to look some of it up - e.g., "struggle buggy" means backseat of a car - or I just inferred from the context (I've seen the original a million times; if you haven't, I can totally see how it wouldn't make any sense).

yeah, it's dirty dancing turned into a silent single-reeler from the 20's.
i never did figure out 'corneringation' though...

Wow, something I can agree with on Fox News- whoda thunk it?
It was entertaining, but I have to say, arguing with those Fred Phelps wackos is basically pointless- they're worse than the tr**ls around here. I think the best you can do is hope that the congregation dies off and the next generation is smarter than they are and it doesn't continue.

Sometimes I actually wonder if the Phelps "church" is the best thing that ever happened to the gay rights movement....if they make even right wingers on Fox want to show compassion towards gays, maybe their hate serves a purpose after all.

How to do a link:
backslash + the word "link" + start curly bracket + URL + comma + description of URL + end curly bracket
Looks like this:
\link{http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAmljaj5stA&feature=Favorites&page=4&t=t&f=b,I Will Survive (Jesus Version)}
And when you post, you get this:

To open in a new window, replace doodle's "\link" with "\newurl"

Polly-it's Dutch. It says 'Mercator - Reside solutions' (Mercator - Woonoplossingen)
And than they say: 'Because you ever wanna live alone again'. (Omdat u ooit weer alleen gaat wonen.)
That's the translation from a guy in Rotterdam, can't say it explains a whole lot....
Although the Babel Fish translation was even more obscure and funnier:
mercator woonoplossingen. because you only will live ever nevertheless.

Ahh, sorry about the lingual mistake. Thanks- so it's like an apartment-finder service? Hee hee!

I would translate it as: Mercator, housing/living solutions. Because you will live alone again at some point.
And yes, it's meant to be a commercial for a financial service - I think they do loans and such. And btw, it's a Flemish commercial.

Jun 17 2006, 06:46 PM
Oh, cool, smurfin, that makes so much more sense! The Rotterdam guy's explanation (from another board) wasn't all that clear. I don't know why I feel like I have to know these things, but it does make the commercial funnier!
And in a universally related kind of way, I've always liked

Woman has nervous breakdown on Maury show due to her fear of... PICKLES. Now I crave pickles really bad. No lie. Note the girl in the middle too, she's getting over her fear of mustard.

Oh, snap! Excellent Maury material. I've never heard of pickle phobia, although I actually avoid eating them myself (ever since I got sick from them 16 years ago). But I don't run screaming and crying if I see them.
Maybe that girl's not for real and is just a good actress. I know that a lot of people make stuff up just to get on those types of shows. One can only hope...

the whole pickle thing was just... bizarre...
at first it was oddly funny, but then it was just sad. maury is a prick. that girl's got major problems and he's chasing her around with a pickle...
side note, i wonder if she has the same aversion to cucumbers?
