some time wasters

Hey, so I'm at the shop and I'm bored out of my mind. I'm watching Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It's got one of the greatest action sequences I've ever seen on film.

On most days I'd be content to sit here, watch a movie, listen to the awful music that's piped into this place... like this:



This song is worse than death, and is only beat out by this other song I get to hear about two times a day. I'm gonna give you these as lyrics because to assault your other sense would be criminal.

Hey, lumpa sugar, you look kinda sweet
Cuter than a baby walkin’ down the street
When I look into your eyes, I wanna leap
I can’t conceal that you make me feel

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!

I’m feelin’ stronger than a grizzly bear
Soarin’ like an eagle flyin’ through the air
When I get you in my arms, you’d better beware
I go insane ’cause I can’t be tamed

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!

You keep my heart jumpin’ like a kangaroo
Floatin’ like an onion in a bowl of stew
Baby, ev’ry time you come in view
I run like an antelope to get to you

I’m your tiger and you’re my mate
Hurry up, buttercup, and don’t be late
I might get mad if I have to wait
Come right now ’cause I’m on the prowl

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!

You keep my heart jumpin’ like a kangaroo
Floatin’ like an onion in a bowl of stew
Baby, ev’ry time you come in view
I run like an antelope to get to you

I’m your tiger and you’re my mate
Hurry up, buttercup, and don’t be late
I might get mad if I have to wait
Come right now ’cause I’m on the prowl

Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow

According to the Geneva Convention, this song has been outlawed as a form of torture. Of course, no one listens.

I know, this site is turning into the link equivalent of the boy who cried wolf.

So, one day, many years ago I had taken a nap and paused something on television. I pressed play and a few minutes later there was one of those 'emergency news bands' came on the screen and I thought... what if we'd just gotten nuked. Somewhere close. And I woke up from a nap to find one of those things going past, and it was 30 minutes in the past and I walked outside and got fried up.

That would be a silly way to die. By a nap.

Sigh.

So, here are two fun time wasters for those of you who are stuck at work or stuck at home because a nuclear bomb went off somewhere close to you and you still have internet access, but can't leave the house.

Overheard in New York

Not Always Right

These are fun.
