So, I told my wife I'm leaving her today...but this cracks me up!

[The Great Sun Jester]

She cried a bit. Meh...I think I've mentioned our troubles in a couple other threads.

But anyway, I have this really hot coworker who's happily married but still a really good friend. She saw I was looking kinda bummed out this afternoon and did the math on her own. A few minutes after confirming her suspicions, I heard this (http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/) wafting over the cubicles. I haven't been able to stop snickering since. She's cool. And so is the dude who created these things.

Man, life is surreal someti...well, I guess technically it's always surreal isn't it?

[grettle]

Just wanted to point out that this IS NOT work safe.

[Mr. Blue Sky]

The very reason why the internet should be shut down. :D

[butter pie]

Yes! I love them. I think I'm the only person on the planet that liked those Quiznos commercials with them.

We are not the huns....

Just wanted to point out that this IS NOT work safe.

Why not

[badbadrubberpiggy]

Why not

Maybe because it's loud?

[norinew]

Inigo, I hope things work out well for you.

[Harborwolf]

Yes! I love them. I think I'm the only person on the planet that liked those Quiznos commercials with them.

We are not the huns....

No way. I love the freaky monkey things.


"THEY HAVE A PEPPER BAR!!!"

[Khampelf]

Spong Monkeys, to be precise.

Not that anyone gets anal about details around here, nosiree.

Somewhere on that site are some kittens in Viking Helmets singing Led Zep's Immigrant Song.

It sounds like this more a question of When, than If, and you're glad to be past it, or do we read to much into the tone, Inigo?

Breaking up sucks from both sides.

[The Great Sun Jester]

Oh...total soap opera pends, trust me.

I'm so pathetically in love with her it's, well, pathetic. But a marriage of one is torture for two, and so I have to end it while my slippery grip on sanity holds. The cliffs are so high, so high...and the shrieking eels are waiting in the abyss should I fall!

I've always been told that my sense of humor will get get me through life's toughest challenges. This is not the six-fingered man which took my father, I fear that this is my Man in Black. And the fight is upon me.

[Nava]

That's OK, Inigo, we've got you covered. I just saw Buttercup get into position.

[jjimm]

Just wanted to point out that this IS NOT work safe.It's completely innocuous. I wouldn't like to work where you do!

That said, if you were working in a place that wasn't cool with such things, you wouldn't want to click the hedgehogs singing the 'Thinking about your piss flaps' song on the same site. :D

[Ephemera]

Spong Monkeys, to be precise.

Sponge monkeys, to be even more precise. :)

[Caricci]

No, that is decidedly NOT work safe, although I don't recall that particular term. It's a good one though.

[Zabali_Clawbane]

Somewhere on that site are some kittens in Viking Helmets singing Led Zep's Immigrant Song.

Not anymore. I wrote the guy and asked why, and IIRC, he wrote back saying it's that he can't have a link to that on a site based in the UK or some such. He pointed out another link where you can find it, but I'm not certain I can link it here. It isn't a site put up by Joel Veitch, the person admits to downloading the video and hosting it himself. The site doesn't say that it's with the creator's permission, though it gives a link back to rathergood.com and is unaltered, it's got Joel Veitch's name, and the song/band name credit on it. It shows up on a search for Viking Kittens though.

[yojimbo]

The Viking Kittens can be found doing Gaybar

Sorry to hear about your troubles Inigo

[Nightwatch Trailer]

Sponge monkeys, to be even more precise. :)
Spongmonkeys, according to rathergood's front page, to be perfectly accurate. :)

[Wesley Clark]

On another note, does anyone remember the one where kittens (I think it was kittens) were dressed as vikings on a ship and singing some song about valhalla? Who wrote that song, what is it called and where can I find the kitten video?

[Cat Whisperer]

Are you being funny, Wesley (note how I didn't type "Westley")?

The song you're talking about is The Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin, as referenced earlier in this thread.

Am I getting whooshed here?

[Wesley Clark]

I missed it the first time around

[AngelicGemma]

*Runs and hides*

Have they gone away yet?

Here's Joel Veitch's other site, The Lair of the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom (http://www.rathergood.com/). I myself like the Laibach (http://launch.yahoo.com/ar-254902---Laibach) stomping kittens (http://www.rathergood.com/laibach/). (Laibach fan site here (http://members.tripod.com/NSKunst/main.html). I also like the biting social commentary in their more recent song "Das Spiel Ist Aus")

[Zabali_Clawbane]

tangent

I researched "Das Spiel Ist Aus", and on the sites (http://leftthought.blogspot.com/2004/05/interesting-if-you-actually-look-at.html) I found, they explained the song thusly: The main phrase in "Das Spiel Ist Aus" is "Raus, das spiel ist aus!" which is taking an old racist phrase "Auslander Aus" (when said, they words slur together, so it's emphasis' are AUSlandeRAUS, which is shortened to "Raus" for the purpose of the song.) and using it to tweak the noses of racists, and tell them their time is up. Here are more sites explaining about the group. Translation of "Tanz Mit Laibach". (http://leftthought.blogspot.com/2004/05/we-reserve-right-to-be-pacifists-of.html) A Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laibach_%28band%29) on them.

Nope, I loved those commercials as well.

THEY'VE GOT A PEPPAH BAR!

I actually don't work in an office. It was just really loud and I thought there should be a warning for those in stuffy environments, which I assumed were most cubical and office environments.

[Little Cloud]

So sorry to hear you're going through such a rough patch but.......









does this mean you're available? :)

[Syntropy]

Inigo, I know how much you've been going through lately. I gotta say, though, I'm glad you decided to do this. Drawing it out could only make it worse.
And again, if you need to talk, my email's listed.

[The Great Sun Jester]

So sorry to hear you're going through such a rough patch but.......

does this mean you're available? :)
Well, yes. As a matter of fact. I'm a little weak and on the rebound and all those other dangerous things, but the right woman could get me through this...and then she'd OWN me! And that's all I really want anyway. :D

And Maureen, Thanks for always being in my corner. I've noticed and am grateful.
