We got to the third episode of the tenth season of Top Gear tonight (don’t pirate illegal video, kids!) and this. just. killed me.
It’s nearly ten minutes long but oh, god it’s worth it.
(Cameos (for those less familiar perhaps with the BBC’s personalities): John Humphreys, Fiona Bruce, and Dermot Murnaghan.)
But really, check out their conclusion at the end. Even someone like Jeremy Clarkson says that. So, you see?
Still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen printed was Gerard Baker, a little over a year ago:
Now to those who survived the Blitz and Barbarossa, the news that today’s Luftwaffe will not fly at night in potentially hostile environments might be regarded as a welcome historical development.
Same paper, different journalist, best headline ever:
The Sunday Times - For us ze war is over by tea time, ja
ninme hits the ground rolling
The ultimate in catblogging:
Update (11.2): The video autoplays, and since nothing makes me descend into an impregnable black rage more than blogs with ads and things that automatically play when you load the page, especially when they’re not right at the top and you end up having to go looking for the controls to shut it the heck up, well I thought it would be very golden-ruley of me to figure out the settings so it doesn’t do that. But since I can’t figure out the settings, I’ve just put it below the fold.
Titled “Wake-Up Call. For All the Cat People.”
Audio a must.
Hercules used to climb up on my dresser and knock stuff down until I woke up to feed him.
The Weedlets give it 8 thumbs up. And now they want a cat.
Yess yessss my plan for cat domination is vorrrrkingk.
Blacky would go for exposed toes but if the toes were sufficiently blanketed he would attack the eyes–all paw at first followed by a artful escalation of claw.
Heheheheh
I Lol’d, even with no audio yet. Yeah Lizzie Borden goes for the toes too, Baby for the ear, Malcolm is biscuit-maker to the masses.
Oh no, did you ever watch with audio?
I watched it like six or seven times yesterday. I mean, it starts playing everytime you load this entry or ninme, and, well, why not?
I really wanted to figure out a way to turn that off so people don’t have “meeoow” playing randomly somewhere in the page for the next three days, but it didn’t have an auto-play thing anywhere in its embed code like they sometimes do.
Just heard the audio - I lol’d again.
Is there a little traffic jump? I’ve spread thisn far, if not so wide.
Err, yes, actually. I’d been under a thousand people for most of October (except for maybe two days every week there’d be a jump up to a little over 1100) but since November started it’s been over 1200 every day. All… two of them (so far counted in aw stats).

Especially the 8 hour diversity single parent sustainability meeting. One does wonder just how close to the truth that is (except the bit about inviting Clarkson to it…)

Mrs Red said she’d be prepared to re-visit the concept of parallel parking if she had one of those.

I imagine it’s really quite accurate. I especially loved the Chilean knit hat she’s wearing. It’s perfect. And the eight hours is probably where the comedy lies. The truth would be seven hours.
And hey, if you had one of those, you’d be parallel parking just on principle.
