Fun For Warnicks

State of the Warnickian world? Warnickian +2

2011-12-30T12:46:00.001-06:00

Okay, so it's been four months since the last post. It probably would have been longer.

But then I saw the following vid, and it's high Warnickian quotient of 91% demanded it be posted.

Egads!

Here's a solid cover of "Killer Queen." It's good work.

It also reminds you just how talented Queen was as a rock band.

Playgrounds have gotten weak on fun and all about safety since when we were kids. Remember these rockets?

Long since torn down because they were "too dangerous." And because homeless men slept in them at night and gang members left them reeking of pee.

But in Japan, there's a 51 meter long playground slide that's finally a step in the right direction.

Oh yeah.

Push the button.

2011-06-04T21:20:00.001-05:00

Go on, push it. Sometimes it's needed.

Ooooo! Floating Pancakes!

Woah. 87.3% Warnickian, if you ask me.

The TV show "Glee" irritates me a great deal- Jane Lynch being the best part of the show- and I wish they had used the original. But this is a great video, not only because it shows Hebrew University, but also shows how young and wonderful the students are.

I dare you, I double dare you.

From the most excellent of blogs Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream (which is still occasionally updated even while the dude is in medical school!) came my discovery of The Asteroids. This song of thiers is so catchy, that if you listen to it more than once... it may get stuck in your head. Forever!

But who can listen to it just once? Eeeeek! 85% Warnickian!

Isn't it amazing that a grouch like me could feel this way?

The original version. Or so I have been told.

The band guys have such great hair... ahh, the 70's, when all was good in the world- for us.

Oh, so very Warnickian.

2011-04-13T00:41:00.001-05:00

I mean, this is at least 90%. It's folk dancing and math, for crying out loud! Here, watch.

It's 92% Warnickian: it's got a beat, it's got time-slappy visuals, it's from Japan, and... oh yeah, they ride around in a mini-van. What else do you need?

A prank so good, it's transcendant. Winner of the WTFA!

Okay, so there are pranks and then there are masterworks like this, which are, totally f@#$ing awesome.

So I present to you, Winner of the Warnick TFA, this video.

An NSFW reminder about how some beauty isn't even skin deep

2011-02-27T22:49:00.002-06:00

Foul Language. Heavy Makeup. Brutal Honesty. Crass speech. And a bit disturbingly low in self-resepect, but rather funny.

Beauty comes in many shades, and some of it is deep and true. And some of it is just paint and illusion that comes off on the washcloth.

If only it were so....

The Forbidden Dance of Ferguson!

2011-02-02T18:38:00.003-06:00

So not only is "The Late Late Show"'s Craig Ferguson a Doctor Who fan with a Tardis on his desk, but when he had Matt Smith on his show, he and his staff planned to do a musical dance number to "cold open" the show. Then, with the number rehearsed and ready to go, CBS had to cancel the dance with 5 minutes to air. They couldn't get the right clearances for the theme music, and so the dance number remains unseen.

UNTIL NOW. 91 % Warnickian.

True Grit of another sort.

1) Put on a jacket and tie. Adapt a cultured attitude.
2) Take a seat on a padded chair. Read this article to show you are classy and know something about great Opera.
3) Play with your speakers turned up LOUD.
4) At 2:44 in, jump up and shout "Bravo! Maestro! BRAVO!" Throw roses if so inclined.
5) Feel better about the future, knowing you will triumph in the end.

"At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!"

I project this movie will be like cilantro: loved or hated. It also could be that the best of this movie is in the trailer, in which case, oh well, too bad. However, if this trailer is just a preview, it should be awesome (but stupid) fun. It also stars Natalie Portman, who in this trailer appears to be about to go swimming wearing a - oh, just watch it. The trailer is rated R for references to just about everything and combinations of the F, S, V, Q and P words, so listen in a discreet locale.
