Caution: This post is rated R for language. U.S. History fans... remember the air raid drills from the 1950s. Okay, so maybe you weren't alive then (I wasn't) but you can still read about it and find hilarity in this clip. Hey my former students: makes you want to sing the "Duck and Cover" song with the Turtle... Loving the little bit of fun today!
I found this on multiple book blogs. Just thought I would share this awesome video. Enjoy book lovers!
So I am a Gleek. I fully admit it. I love the soap opera-like crazy plot lines. I love the over the top musical numbers. I love all the Brittany and Santana one-liners. The one thing that I haven't loved is the lack of really good classic rock songs. I've been wishing for some Queen and Bowie for forever. And last week's episode (I know I'm a bit late, but I forgot about watching it and just watched it on Hulu.com) "Silly Love Songs" fulfilled my dream. Puck sang "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen as his love song to Lauren. Oh my Goodness! I love that song and loved loved loved his rendition! I just had to run over (okay okay click over) to iTunes and buy it. That's big, I don't do that, but I had to do it. And strangely it did put me into the Valentine's Day spirit, albeit a little late. But that's okay, it's the thought that counts. *As a definite second favorite song from the episode, Artie's "PYT" was awesomely silly and sexy at the same time. I love him! And Blaine's Gap Attack was pretty awesome too. And I'm pretty sure I liked Rachel's "Fireworks" more than Katy Perry's. Okay, okay, the entire episode was kinda awesome!
Last night, the boys, the bf, and I watched an episode of Mythbusters (the boys' current favorite). The episode featured the viral video of the giant Lego ball rolling down a city street. Here's the original viral video:
The viral video is like poetry in motion. I love the imagery and the inventive nature of the video. Of course, the bf (tech geek that he is) burst my bubble by explaining the fakery involved. Aside from that momentary dip in excitement, I still love the video.
So the Mythbusters decided to try and recreate the activity. I've included the inaugural launch of the 1 million piece Lego ball. Note how it ends --- Amazing! I thought the viral video was poetry in motion, but the Mythbusters clip topped everything.
In a way, I didn't want the crew to burst my excitement bubble. I wanted to have a great memory of a creative video. But finding out that the video definitely is not plausible didn't ruin everything. In fact, I think it made it more interesting. And the image of the ball exploding is too great to shut out.
Man I love Legos. And the boys were so enthralled with the episode, it was all they could talk about for the rest of the night. Great family time!
