This is the famous parody of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, thought to be lost, that the Beatles performed for a show back in the middle sixties.

There’s been a lot going around about how the smiley emoticon is having a 25th anniversary (or birthday, maybe). Well, according to Snopes, that’s not the full story.

From the Snopes article:

Professor Fahlman may have been the first person to use a smiley online, and he may even have invented the form of emoticon meant to be read with one’s head tilted to the left (to better see the representation of a face in what would otherwise look like something that came out of the typewriter when the cat ran across the keys: a colon, dash, and parenthesis that form the eyes, nose, and mouth respectively). Additional text smileys, indeed the veritable explosion of them, appear to be little more than refinements on Fahlman’s three-character model.
 
However, all that said, neither the basic idea nor the first use of an emoticon originated with Fahlman, as this sighting from the May 1967 issue of Reader’s Digest demonstrates [...]

Way cool. And I’d LOVE to have a pen table that big! (And to be able to draw that well in Photoshop!)

A cabbie picks up a fare, a nun, near Kings Cross in Sydney. The nun gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring at her.

He replies, ‘I have a question but I don’t what to offend you’.

The nun answers: ‘My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.’

‘Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.’

The nun responds, ‘Well, let’s see what we can do about that. First, though, you have to be single and secondly, you must be a Catholic.’

The cab driver is very excited and says: ‘Yes, I’m single and Catholic!’

‘Okay, then’, the nun says. ‘Pull into the next alley.’

The nun fulfills the cab driver’s fantasy with a kiss that would make a whore blush. When they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

‘My dear child,’ says the nun, ‘why are you crying?’

”Forgive me, sister! I lied to you! I’m married and I’m Jewish.’

The nun answers, ‘That’s okay. My name is actually Kevin and I’m going to a fancy dress party.’

Yes, it’s that time of year again, International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrgh!

To get you in the mood, I suggest that you check out some or all of the videos posted on YouTube by OfficialWench. Arrgh!

And then, a special treat! George Harrison (my favourite Beatle, in case you haven’t been paying attention) on Eric Idle’s Rutland Weekend Television, wanting to be a pirate! Arrgh! (Keep watching, the punchline is at the end and it’s pretty funny; I never hear My Sweet Lord any more without thinking of this joke!)

First, there was a (hliarious) video plea to leave Britney alone and then gossip blogger Perez Hilton’s video plea for Britney to leave him alone, and now…

In honour of International Talk Like a Pirate Day (which is tomorrow; arggh, don’t worry, I’ll remind you), a heartfelt video plea to leave Blackbeard alone. Arrgh!

If you haven’t seen the Leave Britney Alone! viral video, do so. It’ll make the one below so much funnier…

Yes, okay, I’ve admitted that I’ve been known to read Perez Hilton and that I have a weird fascination with celebrity culture. I just figured it was time to come out of the closet with it. And besides, I found both of those videos completely hilarious.
