Dude. Nitro.

That's one way to do it.

Not what anyone expected

I've had "The French Mistake" stuck in my head most of today and found this in the side-bar.

This also ties into my hypothesis about how trauma creates comedy. Having gone to a Catholic school (nuns and everything!), I think I understand.

No, the Elfmans did NOT write that.

Awww yeaaahhhhh.... These folks had street cred.

Jesus would have gotten Hannukah gifs

Considering the events celebrated in Hanukkah happened about 165 years before Jesus was born, I think it's safe to assume the kid lit candles.

Oh, children...

I would like to say mad props to the cameraman, the father, and especially the younger brother for maintaining calm.

Last year, I had posted a mere link to this video, but not the video itself. I should have done this one instead, as it has those wonderful electronic beats.

Klezmer and a Cat

Well, Hanukkah is starting tonight and I'm NOT going to be playing a bunch of songs about matzoh. Yet. I think. Matzoh is kind of a thing.

But I am going to tell you about a wonderful wonderful movie that's coming out:



And the Amsterdam Klezmer Band is doing the soundtrack! I admit I squee'd when I saw this. I loved this book (although it looks like the film is going to draw heavily from the second in the series). Yes, there are Jews who aren't Ashkenazi and there was a thriving population in Algiers. If you like history and well thought-out religious arguments, you'll love it. And all starring a cat who first used his power of speech to tell a lie. ("I did NOT eat that parrot.")

Check it out: Tintin's dog.

Rock, rock on!

Dude, it's Neil. It's like he brings his own hairspray and spandex pants.
