In order to pick up the slack on my languishing blog, I now challenge Sir Prince Gomolvilas to a cat-video duel! Sir!  Let challenge begin! I dare you to find a more cool cat video than this one!

I guess if hope springs eternal, so do other things.  Like the dialogue in this comedy short penned by Robert Benchley, of all people, starting around 0:55. This is pretty funny stuff coming from Robert Benchley and the Knights of the Algonquin. Just stumbled across it today, and I can't understand why I never heard of his work before. Funniest lines  -- Wife:  "Are they sick?" Husband:  "No, they're not sick, but they're tired."

I realize this proves I'm unoriginal, because I posted this on my blog before, but there are some things that remain so lovely that they're worth seeing twice. And besides, now that the code on the video has been updated it can be viewed on iPhones, which happens to be important to me. And so, before you turn in, tonight, I invite you unplug and watch this: Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo .

So, it's no secret that I love mattandkim . I think I've posted "Cameras" twice, now, on my facebook page. I happen to think it's their strongest song to date. However, I hadn't seen this video of theirs, "Lessons Learned," until tonight. And I have to say, it's a pretty memorable video. Be sure to watch through till the end.

There was a Young Person of Crete,
 Whose toilette was far from complete She dressed in a sack spickle-speckled with black, That ombliferous Person of Crete.

Video of (no doubt, the angriest) RV W innebago  salesman in the world, Jack Rebney, swearing more than one thought humanly possible along with a variety of very classy motor homes. *Note this video is officially  NSFW  And enjoy this lovely set of prank calls made using Mr. Rebney's outtakes: And this interesting rationalization about his language choices. But, wait! There's more! There's a full Netflix documentary about Jack Rebney:  Watch the trailer:
