A Few Things for my Brother

angel — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:12:07 +0000

Happy (a couple of days early) birthday, Brother Mine! I hope that the videos which I found for you this year meet with your approval.

We start with the trailer for Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveler (a film we all enjoyed in our youth.) It’s followed by a link to a bit more of same, and then…an appropriate song from The Electric Company.

(a bit more Tommy Tricker here.)

And just for fun:

Subtitled Bing.com Commercial (Los Links)

angel — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:36:58 +0000

Speaking of telenovelas, here is a Bing.com commercial that spoofs on them, too. A Spanish-speaking friend of mind was kind enough to point me towards it. (Thanks, Maria!) Now, I have no particular fondness for Bing, but the commercial is mighty funny.

While we’re on the subject of telenovelas, does anyone have a favorite? Or…have you seen the Mexican Soap Opera episode of Psych?

Un Hombre, Dos Mujeres

angel — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:30:26 +0000

This is another one of those videos we talked about at work. It took a bit of hunting, but we finally tracked it down. It’s a skit from MadTV spoofing the popular Telenovelas found on Univision, etc. here in the USA (and on tons of other channels worldwide.)

Triscuit. That is all. (tee hee)

Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco

It’s occurred to me that I seem to be posting videos in pairs. So, for my second Sesame Street video I give you a glimpse into the place I work now. No, I don’t work with Cookie Monster. My coworkers are just prone to remembering some cool tv skit, etc. and eight and a half years of reference work means that I can’t help myself. I have to then go onto Youtube and find said skit for them. The other day, it was this video I hunted down. In an interesting moment of serendipity, that very same evening I was going through some old CDs, and one of them actually had this song on it! Stap me! Oh my stars and garters! Other statements indicative of surprise!

Enjoy the video. And I hope that Cookie Monster found his cookie in the end.

There are Chickens in the Trees!

angel — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 08:12:50 +0000

I’m not sure if I’ve posted this here before, but it’s worth another look either way. Once upon a time on Sesame Street this animated short was shown. I have been singing the song ever since. Yes, it has been known to make Koshvader a bit insane, but I sing it anyway. Why? Because there are chickens in the trees!

The Firefly Intro – 80s Style

angel — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:29:17 +0000

This is so very much how the intro for Firefly would have been if the show had appeared in the 80s. Fun! A word of warning, though. They seem to have forgotten about poor Simon.

New Doctor Who Season Headed Our Way!

angel — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 07:39:39 +0000

I can’t wait! Here’s the most recent trailer.

I Can’t Wait!

Is it April 17th yet?

New eps of Doctor Who coming soon. Squee!

This has been a squee break. As you were.

Blast from the Past: Hee Haw

angel — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:33:57 +0000

Yep. I used to watch Hee Haw. This is one of the bits that always made me giggle.

Blast from the Past: Cap’n Mitch

angel — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:50:34 +0000

Here’s a blast from the past for all of you from the Sacramento area. Cap’n Mitch was a TV presenter on Channel 40 for kid’s shows (like cartoons.) Sometimes he’d go to schools and kinds would be on his show…like me. Speaking Spanish of all things. Wish that I could come up with a copy of *that.* Yep. I already had my 15 minutes of fame. Anyway, here’s a tiny bit of tv from my childhood:
