An early morning Youtube thread?

OK..I want that cat…and the vacuum cleaner too.

I thought the cat was hilarious. Added the link to Bob’s Saturday toons — some good ones this week.

That cat looks alot like our Aleister Cat,aka The Catness.

I know this is awful,but Palin’s turkey carnage interview reduced me to hysterical fits of laughter. I was actually speechless til she said she was in charge of the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner,then I fell apart.

Morning Pups! I don’t usually get here in time for Pull Up a Chair, but I have to work the Re-Store this morning for our local Habitat component and so I am sucking down coffee, waiting for the jolt. WRT to the video: I start every day with LOL Cats in my inbox. It makes me smile and start the day right.

This is great and made everyone in our family laugh..mostly because it was so clever.

That video was so bizarre, I initially thought it was some sort of freakish spoof. And I kept trying to figure out how someone had green-screened it or something. And then when I realized it was a real broadcast, it floored me.

Who could possibly be that much of an idgit?!?

Good Morning! Are you still enjoying the leftovers as much as I am? It did look as though West Virginia was going to pull out a victory yesterday but nope. Today GA and GATech should have a mud-fest. We are getting some much needed rain.

Whoa! THat must have taken that guy forEVER to get all the parts right. Holy mogambo!

That vacuum cleaner looks awfully cool, doesn’t it? But out dachshund would not stand for it. There would be nothing but insane barking and whining from dusk to dawn here…

That looks like fun. If I was the cat I’d do the same thing.

I really thought we were going to pull it out yesterday. Alas, it was not to be. But it was a pretty good game anyway.

We are stuffed to the gills with leftovers. After today, the remainder either goes in the freezer or gets converted into another food incarnation. (Casserole anyone?)

christy - here’s the original group, Moosebutter, doing this. Corey Vidal did all the clever lip synchs, but here’s the original:
http://blog.spout.com/2008/11/.....f-the-day/

Yeah, the Mountaineers played a good game. I was pulling for them.

Colorado (my alma mater) almost pulled it off too.

Who’s going to stop Alabama? Somebody’s got to stop them. I hope it will be Oklahoma. Go Big 12!!!!

Nicely arranged, precise voice, great musician, funny lyrics.

That cat vacuum cleaner rider has me asking a question:

Daddy’s Xanax, or mommy’s Valium???

OMG!!!! The cat on the vac is hysterical! Thanks Christy for the laugh this morning. Morning everyone!

I found this blog thread recently filled with hysterical political cartoons (they get funnier as you scroll down). Enjoy!…

http://www.constructiveanarchy.....riends.php

since the them is cats I must do the obligatory funniest cat thingy I have ever read, I wish I could give credit to the author but it came to me unatributed;

Cat’s DiarY

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture…Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors,I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair…must try this On their bed.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was… Not working according to plan.

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called “shampoo.” What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still LODGED between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their ccomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event, however, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odor of the glass tubes they call “beer..” More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and he speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my acctivities. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time…

YUK alert!!! This is the first year I didn’t have cranberries. While watching Sarah’s video, Morning Joe couldn’t figure out what was in the tray and asked if it was cranberries. When I went to Whole Foods they had their fresh cranberries displayed in a long tray and I just walked on past.

I know a couple who have a lawnmower like that vacuum cleaner. Didn’t see any of their managerie riding on it though.

Florida is going to beat Alabama on Thursday! That should put an end to the silly BCS rankings.

My alma mater (Oklahoma) has a tough one tonight. OSU starts getting its adrenalin up a week before kick off. If the sooners can do it tonight it will have been a good season but OU does not do bowl games.

The Gators.

Saxby’s ads are sending me over the edge. As misleading as the negative ads are against Jim Martin, the one that is the most irritating is the “vote for my big daddy and Happy Thanksgiving.”

Foreclosure Looms: http://andrewsullivan.theatlan.....lth-9.html

I would love to see the Gators knock off the Tide, as long as the Sooners take it all. I don’t care for Nick Saban. (Or the Tide).

Christy,
Morning to you and all.
First turkeyless Thanksgiving to honor my daughter’s vegan lifestyle. Still too much food. Something like Butternut squash soup,salad,Brussel sprouts,sweet potatoes and fennel,regular mashed with meatless gravy,mushroom bread pudding,cranberry sauce,cheesebread(my mom’s recipe, missing her for 40 years) pecan pie and pumpkin pie.
So yesterday the wife and daughter went to the shelter and brought back a 4 month old cat. Just the cutest thing that likes to curl up against your neck and purr,purr,purr.
My daughter says that dogs have owners but cats have staff.
Have a great weekend all.

Thanks for the good laugh - always a favorite way to start the day. I have an early one of those vacuums and haven’t used it in a long time. I think I will get it out to amuse the wire dachshunds. I am quite sure the two young ones have never seen it. I am sure neither of them would sit still long enough for a ride though. None of mine care about vacuums as I use a big one in the kennel all the time so they get used to vacuums when they are young.

Christy! And fellow PUAC Pups!
Since most youtube watching is beyond me for a moment, most of them freeze up my ‘puter, I can only assume that it’s one of those vacumn robots. The only reason I’m aware that they exist is that my when my daughter was here in October and we were camping, while sitting around the campfire, she told us she and her, ahem, recent news alert here, Fiancee, bought one. A rebuilt one. Floored my husband who didn’t get the concept at all. But, she swears by it. Their apartment is very small — DC, you know — and she says it works fine. It even navigates itself back to its recharger. She said it keeps the doggy hair down to a minimum and keeps their little pug company all day while they are gone at work.

LOL — that is so true about cats. Ours is standing by the door, daring me to not get up and let her out to her box…think I’ll let her out. Stat.

Today’s my b-day. The Gators play the Criminoles, I get to do a water change for my aquarium at work, clean up the back porch and take the gazillion bags of cat food cans to the recycler. Then I won’t feel guilty about watchin’ the Gators thump Florida State’s Criminoles.

Now it’s off to breakfast with my friend Joe. If we’re lucky Mel Sembler won’t be at the Kopper Kitchen.

watch the hand…

and for Christy, turkey fettucine, turkey pot pie, turkey mountains [pancake layer the stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, ladle with gravy….and scrape into the disposer].

Happy Birthday, SD!

Happy, happy birthday!

Put another candle on your birthday cake SD.
You Are getting older, but you are Also getting better.
Big Birthday Hug.

I love parrots/birds. Here’s a cockatoo dancing to the Backstreet Boys:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related

If you’ve been around birds, they looooooooooooooove to dance.

Hey Southern Dragon, hope you have a day filled with joy and love.

Hey, enjoy your breakfast and the game. Happy, happy day.

Happy B-Day Southern Dragon!

“The Criminoles”, LOL!!!

I once went to a Florida State-Michigan game and the Michigan students had a different name for them. In the interest of good taste I won’t repeat it here.

Happy Birthday Southern Dragon. Enjoy your new year.

Happy Birthday SouthernDragon! Have a great day.

Happy Birthday SD! In honor of your birthday, I just had leftover pie and ice cream!

Happy Birthday, Southerndragon!

Happy birthday Southern Dragon! Gift arriving Jan 20

The name came from one of their stars years ago getting caught shoplifting all his expensive duds. He had help from the store clerk, who also got busted. And we can beat the Sooners.

Morning everyone. If we’re going to talk youtube idiocy, here’s one my sons did spoofing Kobe Bryant. They have waaaay too much time n their hands.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-W2qjBjn9M

No! Big 12 RULZ!!!!

I still LOL at this one:

I was watching this one again earlier today:

And this Once Upon a Time clip is very cute:

Both FL and Alabama should be in the top four at the end of the season and then the bowl games will decide the strongest conference. SEC should win that handily.

Wow. Thanks folks. I’ve got a Native American flute picked out, now all I have to do is muster up the bucks. For a simpler, and cheaper, b-day present I’m gonna make a gigantic banana split later. When I lived in San Diego there was an ice cream place where the big b-split was called “The Trough” and when they delivered it to the table the servers put on pig noses and oinked around the place. This sucker had everything you ever wanted on a b-split.

No sir, I respectfully disagree. SEC RULZ.

LMAO I love the tags on the first video! Hysterical.

Happy Birthday Southern Dragon - mwaaahh!!!

Now I’m really off to breakfast before Joe calls me and wants to know where the hell I am.

The breastfeeding baby one was HILARIOUS. Anyone know of a way to isolate that so I can send it to someone?

Enjoy your gigantic banana split later, SouthernDragon! Bah hahahahahaha! That ought to make your B-day complete, huh?

Already had breakfast here. Leftover pumpkin pie.

Was the ice cream parlor called Farrells? We had them in LA.

That video is funny.
For a real belly laugh, I would suggest this:

Have a good day all!

Christy -

we have been watching Roomba Kitty for a week ! - makes us both howl

kitty looks like our Ms Doralee - who makes us all laugh. She’s over a year old and yet still sounds, looks, and acts like a kitten . . .

. . .we adopted her as a street kitten, so killing to eat is deeply imprinted on her - the back patio looks like an abattoir . . .nothing is safe from her, including the 3 different snakes I’ve had to sweep from the house

…think of little Claudia in Interview With A Vampire

The video of the little French girl is wonderful! Let’s hope her imagination never goes away. ;-)

cathy,

‘Right-click’ on the link you want and ‘Copy Shortcut’. Then in the email you’re sending out, ‘Right-click’ again and ‘Paste’ it.

Hope this helps.

~ PEACE ~

We had one of those around here. Great sundaes there.

Lou,
Will that isolate that particular part of it?
Thanks

Well I don’t know if this qualifies as funny or not but Juan Williams was just on NPR. He said that liberal or he didn’t know what some people called progressive bloggers were up in arms about Obama’s choices to fill positions in his Administration. He pointed out that these guys were upset because for his national security team he was keeping Gates on Defense and making Jones his National Security Adviser, two men who were supporters of the war in Iraq. These same bloggers also were saying, Hey wait a second, about the likes of Geithner and Summers who were involved in the “corruption” on Wall Street that led to the present meltdown. But Williams concluded there was no liberal opposition “of any substance” to Obama and that he continued to enjoy a broad well of support.

Listening to Williams, I had two questions.

First, why wasn’t, errr, Williams addressing the points bloggers raised, instead of the fact that bloggers raised them? As a reporter, shouldn’t he do a little reporting and actually ask someone on the Obama transition team to defend Obama’s choices in light of his campaign rhetoric?

Second, is Williams saying that bloggers are without “substance” –since they have been critical of Obama’s picks but, as Williams notes, there has been no opposition of “substance” to Obama’s choices? Isn’t that just a trifle contradictory? And if liberal or what real tuned in guys like Williams call “progressive” bloggers are of so little consequence why did he just do a piece on their concerns?

No one checked out my sons’ video? I laughed. But, hey, I’m their mother.

I’d completely forgot about them until SD mentioned the Trough. In high school, it was a real event to pile into someone’s parents car and drive about 45 minutes to the other end of the Valley to go there. It was old fashion fun. I can’t imagine the kids these days thinking a trip to an ice cream parlor would be such a big deal. Their world is just so much different than ours was. I know, that’s saying a lot.
And, I wanted to let you know I appreciated your post on Milk the other day. Your sharing was so honest. Thanks.

I saw a really funny video a few years ago. A parrot, in a cage on one side of a room, was singing “Sweet Adoline” over and over again. A cockatoo, in a cage on the other side of the room was squawking, “Shut up! Shut up! Don’t make me come over there!”

That was hilarious, solai!!!! “The White Kobe”, LOL!

Bah hahahahaha! Good one. He’s very talented. ;-)

Love it! My son and I were in a pet store a few years ago and there in the center of the store in a large cage was a parrot. Whenever we or someone else got near the cage the bird would say, “Help! Help! I mean it!”, as if we were trying to hurt it or something. LOL

and RieszFischer, too

I understand we Longhorns fans have to um, root for you guys tonight - not only bizarro but we in this house have a soft spot for OSU

as someone who loves college football but didn’t pay much attention this season due to the Election - puhleeze ! somebody’s gotta beat ‘Bama. they must have had the softest schedule - yeah Go Gators !

Thanks. I didn’t want to have to beg.

cbl2:
Your cat brought you dead snakes? You swept them out of the house? OMG! I. Don’t. Do. Snakes! Ever.
I’m a really big baby in that respect. *g*

cathy,

I’m sorry, I didn’t understand your original question. If you’re trying to ‘clip’ a portion out of a complete YouTube video…NO CAN DO. (I think YT will be doing that next version update. *wink)

But I did go and find it (alone) here: http://www.redspot4.com/play.php?vid=524

This video of Pinky the Cat has always been one of my faves.

“He’s a very loving cat.”

Personally I’ve always loved snakes, but spiders really creep me out.

Southern Dragon forgive me - but this is easily my favorite story of the college football season:

Florida State Player Awarded Rhodes Scholarship

Hysterical.

See? Spiders don’t bother me at all. It’s nice that we’re all so different. Although, it bothered my two sons that I’ve had the No Reptiles, No Matter What rule in my house. I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

A few years ago, my wife and I parked in a huge parking lot of a mall, in order to go Christmas shopping. When we got out, we heard the plaintive automated voice of a car alarm saying, “I have been violated! I have been violated!” The sound followed us all the way into the mall, as we callously chuckled and failed to render aid.

Lou Costello,
Thanks so much. My sister will love it.

I’m off soon. But let me go OT for a second. I’m throwing a party on Inauguration Day. Big Bash. Taking the day off and preparing a feast for some friends. Well, I thought it would be a nice touch if I had some party favors or some memorabilia. Looked into wine glasses or coffee mugs with some expression on them (I prefer “end of an error” or “our nightmare is over”). Anyway, that stuff is waay too pricey. Anyone have any ideas?

That is a wonderful story! And it seems so out of character for Florida State! :-)

Morning all :) sorry OT, but have we seen this?
‘British police have flown to India to establish whether any of the terrorists who killed 150 people in the Bombay massacre had links to the UK.’

demi -

it’s worse than that - two of them were merely stunned and started wiggling the second I reached down with the paper towel - hence the broom

I am a birder/hiker and managed to keep my phobia a secret for decades. But living out in the country for almost 6 years has all but cured me - I no longer hyperventilate at the mere sight.

RieszFischer - I work with a goth-like young woman who has scorpions, a poisonous tree frog and wants to own a cobra - but happens to be scared to death of . . . moths !

Disposable cups and glasses that each person could write their own saying on with a marker? Could make it a competition?

Plain mugs, glasses or whatever with stickers or decals.

Thanks Christy…….now that the coughing stopped from laughing so hard…..

So how is everyone this fine morning?
It is sunny and 49 degrees in Phoenix with an expected high of 71……

Hmmmm….not bad.

Thanks. That way, each guest could take theirs home as a party favor.

PW is upstairs with her new thread…

Upcoming comedy gold:

Tweety makes it official, he’s running against Snarlin’

Felices cumpleaños, not older, just better ;-)

oh Toby, that’s priceless! thanksyou.

I have three parrots (two senegals and a cockatiel) and they all LOVE the vacuum cleaner (damn good thing, considering the food flingers they all are). My cockatiel in particular sings his heart out when I am cleaning their room.

The sound of the vacuum also frequently (and oddly) spurns them to bathe furiously in their water dishes. This is a parrot thing, and the conjecture is that it somehow mimics the sound of falling water. ‘Kay, I vacuum a LOT, and I have never heard the **falling water** thing, but maybe you need parrot ears. Ot maybe the conjecturers are idiots.

I don’t even want to ponder the sheer terror a Roomba would throw into them!

(((((Kathymine)))))

Punkster, I would say that’s true about the sound of a vacuum mimicking the sound of water rushing. I had a mating pair of cockatiels (Alice & Morris) who had 3 clutches and I was told the reason why my home was perfect for mating was because we had a 30 gallon fish tank near their cage, which near water is where cockatiels most likely have their babies in the wild. It would make sense that certain sounds to a bird would mimic water to them or they would search for the sound in captivity.

My mating pair would have sex just for the hell of it too, which was kind of embarrassing when company was over! The male cockatiel sings to the female and holds her with her wings. ;-)

Bah hahahaha! Funny story! ;-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUTHERN DRAGON!1!1

peace.

Not laughing today, too sad. This morning it became obvious that my poor ol’ cat is relapsing her lymphoma. I think we’re going to have to make the final trip to the vet today. sniff. Then i have to figure out how to tell my daughter, who’s away at college, and whose cat this is that I let her puddy tat go. How do I do that??

Aw Christy. Late greetings here, and appreciation for hilarious pets who own us, lock stock and barrel. We have a kitty who loves taking rides. (rolling tables, boxes, you name it). Good thing we don’t own one of those little sweepers. She’d never dismount! heh heh.

This must be utube day! We rec’d one from a delightful friend we met on an elderhostel. She teaches Tai Chi/Chi Gong and she said the performer in the video is one of her students. You’ll also find the link in Oxdown diaries. It’s too priceless to bury in a long thread. Enjoy! Oh that we had the ability to embrace our golden years as this gal has! Just WOW!

Introducing: The Amazing Student!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzQPOsvmGhU

In EPUville. Just tell her straight out. She’ll ask you what happened and you can go into the details then. There’s no easy way.

Good advice, Dragon.

Have a wonderful birthday.

I’ll second SouthernDragon. If you don’t tell her, then she’ll find out later anyway, and mourn alone when everyone else has already dealt with it, I think. I know you don’t want to interfere with her studies right before exams, though.

Here’s a YouTube about men & breastfeeding, and here’s the YouTube clip Cathy was asking for.

It’s Hollywood.

LOL! Thanks for the laughs, Christy. BTW, my animals are petrified of the vacuum too. All I have to do is mention casually to my hound, “I’m going to be getting out the vacuum, so maybe you’d like to go on the porch?” and he’s at the door like a rocket, anxiously hoping to get out before he even has to lay eyes on the horrible beast.

Ok, I’ve watched this 4X’s and it’s funnier every time. It’s every bit as funny as the Web-site www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com - Yes! It’s that funny!

No doubt!!! THAT was worth waiting until I could get out of work to see. Plus, of course, animals riding vacuums.
