Docs Love a Good Smoke Too

Remember the good old days?
When kids would pass the time playing with mercury infused lead-based paint chips and doctors would promote smoking Camel cigarettes in their downtime?
My favourite part of the video is when the announcer urges you to “…see how Camels agree with your throat.”

Tortured Artist

We all know that artists tend to think differently.
It’s their unique vision that makes their craft so delightful.
Sometimes, not everyone appreciates your point of view – like the Chicago Police Department.

See if you can spot the artist in the video.

Do you have problems with being too close to your work?
If someone rejects your work, do you take it personally?
How have you dealt with this?

Japanese McDonald’s

I don’t know what kind of addictive and mind-altering drug McDonald’s puts in their Japanese Happy Meals.
Maybe it is something like catnip for kids?
Whatever the case, just be glad these kids aren’t showing up at your kid’s next birthday party.

Did you ever get that excited about anything?

Hall and Oates Fix

Sometimes, you just need it.
You can’t deny it – you just need your Hall and Oates fix.
Rich Girl, One On One, Private Eyes - do I need to continue?
Dubbing their own music as “rock and soul,” these guys still have a grip on budding musicians today.

Case in point: Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers.
Enjoy, but don’t watch whilst driving (leave recording a music video and driving to the pros).

Swing Wing

Remember how toys used to be dangerous and fun? Remember when toy makers made crap ads and crap toys but you didn’t care because your rich friend on the bus had one of those toys? Remember when using a toy may or may not make you look like you had some sort of handicap? Behold the Swing Wing.

Guy on a Buffalo

It’s possible you may have seen this video series online.
But if you have not beheld the erratic majesty of a man on a buffalo, you have not begun to live.
Please – quiet the dog.
Send your friends home.
Put down that book.
Whatever you are doing, stop – and cast your eyes upon a dude riding around on a buffalo, doing stuff.

Wilford Brimley and the Diabetes Rap

It’s not often that serious health matters can make us really happy and potentially dance. It is also not often that a song by Wilford Brimley would be blasting from your car as you approach a stop light.
Diabetes is no laughing matter, but being educated by Wilford rapping is pretty effective. (Thanks Walter.)

Gotta Lube Your Pucker

Local television can be great or it can be terrible.
Sometimes, it can be terribly great – like in this example of a local talk show from the early 1980′s.
Just please, take note of the pucker/mullet combo.
It’s like actually watching Summer arrive before your very eyes.

The Greatest Speech of Our Time

My friend and associate Jody Deming sent this to me.
He said that man in the video below delivered the greatest speech of our time…
…if you were one that dreams of training monkeys to ride dogs.

So go on.
Go on and dream.

What words from this “speech of the ages” touch you the most?

Planet Rock (Back)

That’s right.
John Jacobson demonstrates his heart for his followers by creating this alternate video.
So Tiffany, to answer your question – yes, there is a back view… and there is a God.
This would also be the point of view of the rabid bear in a tutu.
Right before he mauls you.
