The kind of hilarious log of how one man got dumped because his girlfriend somehow missed the fact that he’d gone to Europe for two weeks.

I’ve been giggling about the juxtaposition of these two posts for about 15 minutes now.

And another - that was freaking amazing! A very unique blend of visual art, music, and performance. I must admit that I found that the artist’s cheesy head-flinging, etc. plus the candle bit to be over-the-top, detracting from her sand work. But the sand work itself more than made up for that: absolutely brilliant.

I have no idea, I just find it hilarious that the kid is getting totally owned by his dad (who is 100% correct in this case) who is apparently more internet savvy than his kid, and then the stills of the keyboard cat waiting to play him off until the end, it is just perfect.

I’ve already seen the sand animation at another messageboard - & it was amazing.
The Gordan Ramsey emu clip was amusing.

Half-Life fans will enjoy this one. What is really going on inside of Gordon [Freeman’s Mind](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J80KD4BG7M) during the events of Half-Life. (This is part 1; he’s up to part 12 or so now.)

[A Colour Box](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T33tS9FeS3U&feature=channel_page), Len Lye’s experimental animated film of 1935.
[Adopt-a-Pet](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDpEyuWVVQ4) goes hilariously wrong on Vancouver TV.
[Fry and Laurie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFD01r6ersw&feature=channel_page) (aka Stephen and Hugh) talk about language (I think).

Wow, this was epic. I wonder why she didn’t just call one of his friends to ask where the hell he was. But good riddance anyway.

Anyone who’s ever lived in the DC area should appreciate [Arlington: The Rap](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T1RMuoQnKo), and hopefully other people can as well.

I think he did - & the friend decided to have a little fun at her expense! 😛
Anyone who thinks this is unbelievable - my husband came home yesterday, looked at me & said, “wWhat are you doing home?”
& like every other Thursday I replay. “Its Thursday. Its my day off!”

Inspired by a recent thread bump. . .
[Sarasponda](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUgCpsvwhoU) There is an unrelated video of some cute girl at the end, which has nothing to do with “Sarasponda.”
