This evening Pebbles was playing with her toys when the Vacuum Monster interrupted her. She started playing with the Vacuum Monster instead and eventually had a bit of a victory.

For some reason, I just don’t doubt it…

Alas I don’t have a lot of time to spare today, and somehow got it in to my head that today was Friday and not Thursday (I put it down to the NRL season starting tonight and causing me great confusion) so this just have to do for today. Originally I was going to post two videos in this post, but seeing as I have now worked out that it is Thursday, the second one can wait until tomorrow.
Given the events of this week in federal politics, and the fact that I don’t think Kevin Rudd’s ego will let him leave alone the idea of getting back in to a powerful position in the government, today I will share with you my favourite Kevin and Julia song.
Tomorrow, my favourite of Kevin on his own.

With thanks to Irene for sending this one through
If I Didn’t Have A Dog…Or Cat……
I could walk barefoot around the yard in safety.
My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.
All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be hair-free.
When the doorbell rings, my home wouldn’t sound like a kennel.
When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through all the fuzzy bodies who beat me there.
I could sit on the couch and my bed any way I wanted, without having to take into consideration how much space several fur bodies need to get comfortable.
I would have enough money, and no guilt, to go on a real vacation.
I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grandkids through college.
The most used words in my vocabulary would not be:
“out,” “sit,” “down”, “come,” “no,” “stay,” and “leave it ALONE”.
My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates and makeshift barriers.
I would not talk ‘baby talk’. ‘Eat your din din’. ‘Yummy Yummy for the tummy’..
My house would not look like a day care centre, with toys everywhere.
My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.
I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, O-U-T, G-O, R-I-D-E, S-U-P-P-E-R, and C-O-O-K-I-E.
I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.
I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much.
I’d look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading them as ‘mud’ season.
I would not have to answer the question: ‘Why do you have so many animals?’ from people who will never know the joy of being loved unconditionally by the closest thing to an angel they will ever encounter.
How EMPTY my life would be!!!

This week’s Friday Funny is another literal video version of a song, this time being Dustin McLean’s adaptation of Billy Idol’s White Wedding.

This one was plastered all over the media a few weeks ago, but it amused me greatly at the time and it seems timely, so I’ll give it a run.
I’m sure that it would come as no surprise to regular (and even infrequent) readers of this blog that I am not a fan of Lady Gaga. I’m sure that there’s some talent there, but the act just doesn’t interest me. It is, however, virtually impossible to escape the media coverage of her tours, and she was in Sydney yesterday, so it reminded me of this little gem which popped up a few weeks ago. Weird Al Yankovic put together a rather clever and amusing parody of one of Lady Gaga’s songs, and also of her act. It amused me, and I hope it amuses you.
I’ll get back to the literal music videos next week. I think I still have one or two of them to share with you.

We continue the series today with Dustin McLean’s reworking of A-Ha’s Take On Me.

A few years ago there was an internet fad of changing the lyrics of songs to reflect what was going on in the song’s seemingly unrelated video clip. I missed this when it happened, but came across it a few months ago.
Some of them are better than others, but of all of them, this is my favourite. David A. Scott’s reworking of Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse Of The Heart.
Enjoy!

I’ll share some of my other favourites with you in the coming weeks.

Given that we are rapidly approaching the final of the soccer world cup, this video seems apt for Friday Funnies.

A few weeks ago A Current Affair hyped up a story about a restaurant which was serving cats. They ran a bunch of promos claiming that they had an investigation in to a restaurant which was cooking cats and serving them to customers. It was a beat up and a half, as it happened the restaurant was serving cats…it was serving them the leftovers. They were feeding a bunch of stray cats. Big deal.
Anyway, it reminded me of an amusing song which I had around here about a restaurant cooking cats. I looked for it at the time and couldn’t find it, however I found it earlier this week and thought I’d share it with you today.
If you have something which you’d like to share with the world as a Friday Funny, send it to samuel@samuelgordonstewart.com and I’ll usually be happy to give it a run.

What happens when you entrust an egocentric psychiatrist with the task of creating a short jingle for his radio show? Perhaps we should allow Dr. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) to demonstrate.
By the time you finish playing that each hour, it’d be time for the next news surely.

OK, get those counting fingers…and toes…and shoulders…ah heck, just get an abacus ready, because you’re going to need it if you’re going to have any hope of counting Sonny’s conspiracy theories.
Sonny called Casey Hendrickson on KXNT on Saturday to, uh, well I don’t really know why he called. It did turn in to one of the most entertaining calls of the year though. Enjoy!

Now that I think about it, if you can comprehend Sonny’s theories well enough to count them, you might not want to use an abacus, because you’re probably on Sonny’s wavelength and believe that Abacuses are tools used by the Queen’s Presidential Illuminati to keep tabs on all of us, and using one would cause you to change the subject, ignore the questions and yell more loudly about stuff which makes even less sense.

Back on Friday the 13th of March I was clearing out my hotel room in Deniliquin when I heard this bizarre exchange between Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard and 3AW’s Neil Mitchell. I believe that, had Julia just used the word “no”, Neil would have been caught off-guard, and nobody would have blamed her seeing as “no” would have been a perfectly honest answer…nobody can guarantee what the actions of third parties will be, so why Julia felt the need to ramble around the answer was beyond me, but highly amusing.

It was great fun listening to it, even if I started yelling at Julia and the radio at one point (actually, that could be why it was fun).

I’m going offline for 24 hours now (update: OK, now that the Mark Ferguson story is out of the way, I’ll disappear for 24 hours). I am available for urgent contact only, on my mobile. In my absence, enjoy some video.
