I wish you all happy new year! *UPDATE: I fixed that Top Gear/Rednecks video clip Don't mess with the South/Phony phone conversations that I had submitted for Jon Swift's BBP of 2008! I should have checked all the links when Jon posted the BBP feature. It got pulled due to "copyright violation"! I couldn't embed the clip (at least not the version I wanted) I tell you what! I am getting so sick of having these great video clips yanked because the studios/production companies, whatever- are upset that people are viewing a 5 minute streaming clip and they're not getting every stinking penny they can get for it! I think that is the most ridiculous crap! Greedy bastards!
These here two videos make me think: What the F%$#!?

Ahh...memories of hits gone by...
I love comedian Eugene Mirman, who I had on this blog a long, long time ago with this post: C3 Fun -Comics, Comedians and Clips: Don't mess with the South. Jon Swift featured it for his Best Blog Posts of 2007 (Chosen by the Bloggers Themselves) . That got me a lot of hits for Mirman's hilarious recorded phone calls messing with those far right Christian long distance phone telemarketers, plus that Top Gear thing in the deep South! I am indebted to Jon-that was the freakin' most hits this lowly blog has ever had! Thanks Jon! (Glad you're back!) Here are a coupla clips of Mirman at his strange, NSFW best!

Hey! I really like your TTS! And More Moron music
*Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend!
I guess this is part of being a parent nowadays but still we had a wakeup call last week! We found out the hard way that we should have had more control over what our son was able to access on the Internet a couple of days ago! We went to a friend's party and my mom stayed with our son-(yes we are so lucky we have my mom close by!). When we came home, our son said "I saw a guy pushing out his eye with a spoon in a video." Arrrgh! My mom had just gone to the restroom, and when she came out, she saw that our son was looking at this guy literally spooning out his damn eyeball! The title of the video: "Fucking disgusting!" Yes-it was-and it was even more disgusting because my son was looking for Disney clips on Youtube! Lucky for us he was so shocked by seeing someone spoon out their eyeball that he didn't read the title! I don't really care for the "Related Videos" thing too much. Sometime these videos are actually related in subject and age level, etc., and sometimes they are way out of the subject field! Since he was looking for Disney videos for pete's sake! In the Related Videos was Fucking Disgusting! Yeah-really close match, YT! Anyway-I am not in favor of censorship or anything, and I do think there are other things that can be harmful for a 7 year-old kid learning how to use the Internet out there. We decided to give him his own account, with a "kid safe" browser-(Kidrocket-Web Browser for Kids - KidRocket it limits kids to 11 sites that are kid-friendly-Starfall, PBS-Kids, etc. It also has some simple math and art activities also.) and just hid the IE away, and put some of his games on the desktop. He really doesn't need to be Googling stuff without our supervision!
Anyway, my son likes this text to speech thing where he can type out a story and then he can have the story "read" by a "robot" voice! He loves that thing! It's called Ultra Hal TTS Reader-(Text-To-Speech Reader) I was thinking that I would have to download the program again and so I Googled Text to Speech Readers. I came up with one site I had come across before called Site Pal-sitepal.com/howitworks where you can type some text and make a robotic character say any kind of crazy shit you want! I remember playing with that site for quite a while about a year ago-there's lots of characters that you can choose from, and lots of different voices to use! The only thing is, you can't save your "work" because it's not a free service and you would have to register and all that other BS! It is fun to "make" the different characters say weird stuff though. (click on the "Try Our Demo" button;click on the model/character you want; click on the accessories and background you want; click on "audios" and then "TTS". I don't mess with the "players" choices. Once you type your text, hit "Preview" and the fun begins! Mess around with the voices, as they often give different inflections for more hilarity! It's sometimes inaccurate with the pronunciations and the emphasis you might want, but try different voices to get it work better! I also like to move the cursor around the character's face like a fly to make their eyes and head move around!)
I also found another TTS engine with characters that is maybe better because you can send your funny saying to someone! It doesn't have all the characters, accessories, etc, that the other one has, but it's still fun! The address is free-translator.imtranslator.net/speech.asp With this one, experiment with the speed of the reading, and what I also do is try using both the English-speaking guy and girl. Try it! Make your own funny saying! For some reason, for me at least, making these digital, flash technology characters say nasty, dirty, or just plain silly things is hilarious!
Here's a few of my weird-ass creations! (it takes a few moment to load!)

I was minding my own business, looking up clips on YT for trying to do arpeggios correctly on the guitar and I came across some humorous comments for some of the videos I saw. This one is a video clip for this excellent Chinese classical guitarist named Lie Jie.True to his screen name, "Assmask" makes a comment about Lie Jie's hands that Assmask claims people took the wrong way! Here is one of her many clips. She is an excellent guitarist! If you like classical guitar music, check them out!

I have been horribly busy lately at work with school meetings, "putting out fires," and other things. Here is some weird stuff I found on the 'nets. (click to enlarge)

A few vids, a few comics, and a few comedians
Saw this and had to put it on. Its just too weird! Some Finnish musicians doing "YMCA"!

Funny Family Guy clip
Ha ha! This guy sounds like the outgoing message on our answering machine! Funny clip about how abbreviations on the Internet can be hilarious!

Ted Nugent is appearing in ABQ tonight. Just saw what the jerk said at a recent concert in Anaheim from American Scot http://americanscot.blogspot.com/2007/08/maybe-hell-accidentally-shoot-himself.html. You know, as I was growing up, learning how to play guitar, I kinda liked Nugent. He was (and I guess still is) a pretty good guitarist. Somewhere along the line though, he transformed into this raging, crap-spewer that I can't stand. I will not listen to his music because of his extreme views on most everything. Even the old stuff. So, in honor of Nutcase Nugent live in concert here in my own town, here is a little cartoon. We can only dream...thanks, American Scot for the idea!
Speaking of rock and roll, I was listening to some old Sabbath and thought of this clip that has been around for a while but, I thought I'd put it on in commemoration of good ol' rock and roll!
Another speaking of rock and roll clip-here's the legendary Bill Hicks talking about today's state of rock and roll. I was going to post Bill's infamous Rush Limbaugh audio clip, but maybe some other time. It's pretty hardcore. Gotta think about that one!
