[Opera/Cell Phone guy’s saga continues](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDB9zwlXrB8) (though the unfortunate music selection and unnecessary stage effects make this a bit cheesier). As someone who loves “real” opera, so to speak, I can’t take much issue with fachverwirrt’s comments. I was more moved by the underdog-makes-good quality of his story (and his simple humility), especially in a venue that rarely pays attention to this type of performance. My sister was a music major and aspiring opera singer, but she always seemed to take her talent for granted, and it never really got her anywhere. I just like that this is something he loves to do and is able to share this personal (and quite unexpected) side of himself with the world; I know I never saw that kind of passion in my sister, who was technically superior. I suppose I wouldn’t necessarily feel that way if he was difficult to listen to (sometimes it’s not just the thought that counts), but he’s fine for what he is and the larger arc is about inspiration and not aspiration. Here’s hoping he picks a better piece for the next stage. ---

[QUOTE=Jayn\_Newell] The ending of this show was good on it’s own, but here’s proof that some people have [far too much time on their hands](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvoQz4mSHOo). [/QUOTE] Hey, the whole show was good on its own! 😛 (They are making more, aren’t they?) There’s lots of fun versions of it online. My favourite is the [Mega Man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89ysAAOQC6k&mode=related&search=) version. Edit: Reminded me of [another](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okeq0uuldy0&mode=related&search=) one I saw a bit back. Live action, with an unfortunate ending. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=bubastis] I spent about an hour today watching the “Will It Blend?” series. Was that a legitimate infomercial series? Who is that old guy? I was just glued to the whole thing, even though nothing about the clips ever changed, except what was being blended. [/QUOTE] It’s real! The homepage is [http://www.willitblend.com/](http://www.willitblend.com/) and there’s a clip of Meredith Vieira (the Today show host who replaced Katie Couric) trying out one on the Today Show. ---
