springtime wannabe wednesday

so, it's Wednesday afternoon and I'm avoiding work at all costs - what else is new?

ah, so yes. my recent (revival) addiction: Whose Line Is It Anyway? it's especially hilarious because I myself have done improv many-a-time, and I can appreciate the genius of the performers. I am especially fond of the musical talents of Wayne Brady. you can check out his performance of "Greatest Hits of the Bus Driver," with pros Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles (both somewhat Canadian.)

fabulous show. my favorite "Greatest Hits" segment is "Greatest Hits of the Lifeguard." in the third song, Ryan Stiles tells Wayne to do a lounge hit called "Bllblblblblb," i.e. the sound of someone drowning. the following are the lyrics to this little song:

Wayne:
(Thanks!)
How many times, have you drowned? (10! Right?)
How many times, have you made this annoying sound? (*Laughing* I don't know)
Oh, you know you couldn't get too far,
Because you're dying and you need CPR
And when that's happened, there's only one thing to say
Whoa, you go "blblblblblblb"
Oh, you go "blblublbb"
Hey, you go "blubllblbb"
You go "blbleeeeeeeee"

Oh, it's just that good. If you really want to see what I'm talking about, click here, then click on Season 1, Episode 9 - it's about halfway through the show. you will ADORE. I promise. (wear Depends.)

and, just for kicks, here's my Friday Five. hollaaa!!! 5 days late.

1. Would you rather serve in heaven or rule in hell?

Since I'm a good boy, I'll choose heaven. Though ruling in hell... I'm sure it'd being a lot of chicks to the yard.

2. If you had evidence that would catch a killer, but also put you in jail, would you use it?

Ohhhh Lord. I hate these "help society but fuck yourself over" questions. I don't know. Probably yes, though I'd get raped regularly in prison, let's face it. :( Tough question.

3. If you could work the worst job you have ever had, for three years and then never have to work again, would you or would you rather work the job you always wanted but not be able to retire until well past the age of retirement?

Yeah, I'd rather work the job I love. I mean, working for only three years would be great, but unfortunately I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth - I need to make actual money. And I bore really easily - soooo working sounds great.

4. If you could write four newspaper headlines, which would come true, what would they be?

"Scientists discover the cure to cancer"
"Poverty is officially ended the world over"
"Global warming is now being reversed"
"Joel wins his 5th Oscar!"

5. A video of children in Florida fighting, while adults cheer on, was posted on the popular web site MySpace. The popularity of "gang videos" has also increased, and there has been renewed interest in re-creating the infamous "Faces of Death" video series, do you feel there should be laws limiting extreme videos?

Do you feel your questions are random as hell? I vote yes.
Do I also feel I have no idea what you're talking about, and have never heard of these videos before in my life? Yes.
Am I going to answer? Um, no.
