weird bird

Lol I'm not in the habit of posting nature documentaries, but this bird of paradise's mating ritual is incredible. Watch for the psychedelic cyan smiley!

And the gal isn't even impressed - what a bitch.

Thanks to cracked.com

boum

Crazy song, I can't remember where I first heard it. Yup he looks like he's gone bonkers, but forgive him he's French.

La pendule fait tic tac tic tic
Les oiseaux du lac pic pac pic pic
Glou glou glou font tous les dindons
Et la jolie cloche ding dang dong

[Mais...]

Boum!
Quand notre coeur fait Boum
Tout avec lui dit Boum
Et c'est l'amour qui s'éveille

Boum!
Il chante "love in bloom"
Au rythme de ce Boum
Qui redit Boum à l'oreille

Tout a changé depuis hier
Et la rue a des yeux qui regardent aux fenétres
Y a du lilas et y a des mains tendues 
Sur la mer le soleil va paraître

Boum!
L'astre du jour fait Boum
Tout avec lui dit Boum
Quand notre coeur fait Boum Boum

Le vent dans les bois fait hou hou hou
La biche aux abois fait mé mé mé
La vaisselle cassée fait cric crin crac
Et les pieds mouillés font flic flic flac

[Mais...]

Boum!
Quand notre coeur fait Boum
Tout avec lui dit Boum
L'oiseau dit Boum, c'est l'orage

Boum!
L'éclair qui lui fait Boum
Et le bon Dieu dit Boum
Dans son fauteuil de nuages

Car mon amour est plus vif
Que l'éclair, plus léger qu'un oiseau qu'une abeille
Et s'il fait Boum s'il se met en colère
Il entraîne avec lui des merveilles

Boum!
Le monde entier fait Boum
Tout l'univers fait Boum
Parc'que mon coeur fait Boum Boum
Je n'entends que Boum Boum
Ça fait toujours Boum Boum
Boum Boum Boum Boum Boum!

There's a sucky (and incomplete) translation here.

Hot Fuzz

Yeah I watched Hot Fuzz last night. Wow. (Thx peck for the recommendation haha.) Some crazy cop-action-comedy movie - not a porno flick (bad jokes!) Simon Pegg did the impossible, man... A sympathetic portrayal of a dedicated police officer. Takes some doing. To think he could make me respect the fuzz... Ann Liang would be proud lmao
