there’s a flash animation going around, that i seem to have missed. it is of Colin Powell singing “Daylight come” while G.W. does backup. the words are modified to be a funny attack on Osama. now, i saw this earlier at school and i want to get a copy on my computer, mostly because of the incredibly cute colin powell, but also because of the really nice animation. i asked my teacher (the person who showed it off, this was in my enrichment class) to bounce it to me, but when i got home i accidentally deleted it with the spam. oops. and the ningas… there’s another Flash thing i liked, that i would like to save too. this is a really well done kung-fu flash, though it is a little older. it is of a ninga stick figure fighting his way into a warehouse against an army of bad guy stick figures. if any of you know where it is, i would be most grateful. ---

oops, i forgot to mention; George is pounding along on the bongos as accompaniment. ---

> [@](#): > > Actually, it’s The Banana Boat Song, although Day-O is a much better-known title. See what I get for believing my Harry Belefonte _Calypso_ CD? (RCA 07863 or 53801-2. Not sure which is the right number.) It lists the song as _Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)_. I assumed that _Day-O_ was the proper name since it isn’t parenthesized. 😉 ---

My memory, however, could certainly do with an intravenous drip of gingko biloba, so I’ll admit that I’m probably wrong. jayjay ---

as for the stick figures, do a search for: Xiao Xiao there are three of the movie ones (including the one you wanted, which I assume to be the one with the Matrix style thing at the end) and a neat-o flash game, that’s like Time Crisis, but all stick figures. Wait… here’s a link to the game, it should link back to the main page [http://www.sfdt.com/flash/movies/790.html](http://www.sfdt.com/flash/movies/790.html) ---

Damn it. I was hoping to find out what a ninga was. I’m actually disapointed it was a typo. 🙂 ---

Including the title, that’s _three_ **ninga’s**! That’s not a preview problem, that’s an idea for a new Chris Farley movie. Well, the fact that he’s dead is only a small impediment, anyway. ---
