So recently I found myself highlighted in a video that someone put on YouTube of a Rock Band party they were having. I was playing guitar on a few tracks, pretty much shredding it. Yeah. I rocked. I’m also pretty good with a bo-staff. (No, I’m not going to post the link to the video. Just imagine me kicking ass and rocking out with a little plastic toy guitar and you get the picture.)

Anyway, Mark was here for a few days, and he showed me some of the funniest shit I have ever seen on the Internet, so I just wanted to share it with you.

First, there was the Bill O’Reilly vs. the “I Like Turtles …

So, as you all know from reading my blog about my time spent living in the Netherlands… they are a bit weird.

I was completely psyched to be playing ultimate in Manhattan and not having to trek all the way up to Westchester to play in the WUDI league (which took about an hour and a half each way if you had to take the train). I joined WUDI, payed my dues, went to one game, the …

I was in an Irish bar a few weeks ago having drinks with Jen and her friend Shari and these two guys were playing folksy Irish music. At some point I look at Jen and say, “I’ve heard this before… in the movie Napoleon Dynamite I think.”

Jen looks back and says, “OMG, you’re absolutely right.” (or something equally Jen-like).

So then I go on a quest to find out what the hell the song is, obviously it’s well known enough for Irish folk-playing duos to play, so it must be on the Internet.

I look up the movie soundtrack listing on IMDB.com (one of my smart friends told me about this feature) and look at the track listings, trying to discern which …
