Tina Fey: "I can do it!"
It seems like my Ramblings has turned into just a bunch of video clips lately. Oh well, it's what's hitting me lately I guess. Anyway, here's a bit of Tina Fey's monologue from SNL; her old-fashioned movie style cracks me up.

"Pick it up!"
Use ska to teach your kids to clean their room! This song is from the show Yo Gabba Gabba (which I've never seen) and features Alex Desert of Hepcat.

Red Sox Batting Stances
Pretty funny video. The Mo Vaughn and the over-the-top Youkilis impressions are great..

Drunk Jeff Goldblum
Hilarious: slow down an old Apple ad with Jeff Goldblum, and he sounds drunk as hell:
And if you like Jeff, be sure to check out the Jeff GoldBluMan Group...

Pumpers Need to Pump!
One of my new favorite shows is Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! It's pretty random and absurd, but also (I think) pretty damn funny.
Anyway, they had one clip of "Pumpers" which really cracked me up, partly because it brought back childhood memories of Jon doing it.
And there's a good interview with Tim and Eric over at The Onion AV Club.

The Best 5 Seconds on the Web
I've come across this video here and there, and it never ceases to crack me up.
Funny to see the original source clip from some Japanese TV show.

Full Wire Video Now Online
I finally got around to putting my last riding video on YouTube. "Wire: 1989-1995" is a best-of compilation of the four videos I made during those years. Until now it's only been available on VHS, so rather than make a DVD version that nobody wants to buy I'll just put it online for free. If you like old school New England riding (especially flatland) you're in luck:

100 Movies, 100 Quotes, 100 Numbers
I thought this was pretty cool. Someone put a lot of work into this, and there are some great quotes here.

Beardy Guy Powers Activate!
Lore Sjöberg used to run The Brunching Shuttlecocks (which was one of my favorite humor sites at the time) and I especially liked his ratings of random things. which are archived over at Book of Ratings. Now he's back with a video version: State Quarters Part VII.

Conan O'Brien & 1864 Baseball
Baseball season is almost here, and I came across this video of Conan O'Brien interviewing people who play olde tyme baseball: "1864 rules, 1864 costumes. Some say a waste of time. Others say an incredible waste of time."

Advanced BMX
I don't really ride any more but I can still appreciate it. This video of Scotty Cranmer takes skatepark riding into videogame territory...

Stolen "Losers of the Year"
Someone in Japan took part of a video I made ("Losers of the Year"), edited out all non-flatland stuff, dubbed some rap over it, and uploaded it to YouTube. While I'm not exactly thrilled that somebody used my video without permission and added their own music to it, what the heck...the video is over 10 years old.

"Where's Mel Gibson now?!"
Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke visited Remy and Don on last night's Sox game, talking about Kevin Youkilis:
Denis: "I'm so proud to have a Jewish first baseman."
Lenny: "So am I. I hope Mel Gibson doesn't come into this park."
[Youkilis makes a great play]
Denis: "Where's Mel Gibson now?! Are you happy Braveheart? The Jewish first baseman makes the play, Mel Gibson!"
Watch the whole thing...

Keith McElhinney's Front Flip Flair
I haven't seen my old riding friend Keith McElhinney since he moved to Pennsylvania, but he's clearly been doing a lot of riding at Woodward. At the Dew Tour's 2006 stop in Denver, Keith pulled the world's first ever front flip flair (which he has named the lawn dart) -- check out the video. Update: Another video at the Dew Action Sports website.
Update #2: Keith's lawn dart won trick of the week on dewtour.com, getting him $5,000 in the process. Congrats, Keith! (And you're welcome for the votes...)

Quick update
Random updates and links:
- New websites for Amelia and Jeremy are up now.
- Everyone's seen Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner by now, but still...
- Since I rarely update the Photos section of this site, I'm trying out Flickr to see if that gets me to take more photos. (My new camera is definitely helping.)
- Crossed of my list of "things that I should have been doing a long time ago that my friends probably assumed I was already doing": joined Netflix. After way too many scratched DVDs from our local Blockbuster, we've converted to Netflix and so far we've been very happy with the service and selection. (Plus it's nice to get some non-junk mail every once in a while.)

Microsoft designs the iPod package
Microsoft designs the iPod package
I first saw this in YouTube, but it was removed from the site...perhaps by the Microsoft employee who created it? No matter -- when something is this good, once it's released onto the web, it's not going away. "It's funny because it's true."

"Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy Delicious"
Saturday Night Live hasn't been very good for quite a while now, but this weekend's show (hosted by Jack Black) was surprisingly funny. The best part -- not to mention the best thing to come out of SNL in years -- was Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg's hardcore rap about getting cupcakes and going to the movies to see "The Chronicles of Narnia": check out the video for "Lazy Sunday".
Update: You can download the video from the iTunes Music Store for free.

Danger: grapes!
Howard Stern has been playing a clip of a field reporter falling while squashing grapes, and it cracks me up every time I hear it. But I really wanted to see it, and it took me longer than it should've to find it on the web.I know it's not cool to laugh at other people's misfortunes, but this is damn funny -- and even funnier when they cut back to the studio and the morning news show hosts almost don't know what to do. Ah, the issues with live TV. See it for yourself...
Update: Web rumors (which of course are rarely wrong) claim she died after this fall, which turns out to be false: she's alive and well and now a meteorologist in Albany. So if you're into watching people fall and get hurt, it's OK to laugh at this...
January 14, 2004
Now that we're halfway through January, here's a quick update:
- Happy 2004
- A new video of Amelia has been added to her site: What's So Funny?
- I'm debating bringing eWire to an end. I don't seem to have the time or passion to keep it updated regularly, so I might close up shop and archive the site as it is. (I've already started moving some things over to this domain to save on hosting costs.)
- Damn it's cold!
- Only one month until pitchers and catchers report for spring training...
