I stole a meme!

[nobleplatypus]

Someday I will post about exciting real life happenings. But I don't want to jinx it, so I won't. Yet.

For now, have a meme I yoinked from shannonsequitur:

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon.

I have trouble picking a favorite icon... but here's my most recent one, which I shamelessly stole. Look at the Doctor go!

Also, so you don't get bored, here is some more random stuff... call it a Youtubepalooza:

Via endril_lei: Complaint Choirs might just be the best thing ever. I particularly enjoy the Helsinki one, which I will include here for your viewing pleasure:

Heh.

Also also, courtesy of PWOT's Mirth Canal: The Wicker Man in Two Minutes. I never saw this film, and now I don't have to. "NO! NOT THE BEES!!"

And finally, One man's rant about how Pachabel's Canon in D will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Enjoy, my lovelies.

Hmm. This is also tough. But I think I'm going to go with Kronk's shoulder devil, because I just love that little guy. And I watched "Emperor's New Groove," like, two days ago. WHY DID DISNEY GIVE UP OLD SCHOOL ANIMATION?! *gnashes teeth*

HAHAHA. The complaint choir cracked me up. Thank you!

[nobleplatypus]

THAT'S what you should have your kids do. I bet they'd get into it! ;)

The Helsinki one is by FAR the best one, and the Birmingham one is the most boring. I STILL love the Helsinki one to DEATH.

[nobleplatypus]

I agree. It's the only one I've heard that had a melody I actually enjoyed and found compelling. Like, they harmonized and everything!

[endril-lei.livejournal.com]

I know! they had like... the choir up in PARTS! TEnors and sapranos and altos and everything! It was definitely the most clever.

The complaint choir gave me the best laugh I've had this week. Thank you!

[nobleplatypus]

You're welcome. ^_^ I kind of want to start a complaint choir, but I dunno if Hastings would be up for it... or if we'd be able to come up with enough universal complaints. They all might be really local, like...

The bridge on highway 61 is always backed up
I can't stand waiting in the line of cars
We don't have enough elementary schools
But for every single church, we have a bar

.... or something. >_>

Oooo, *comments for the icon thing*

Heheh, choir. That totally made my night.

[nobleplatypus]

Dude, you have a DOUGAL icon!! THAT is so my favorite! *squees*

[featherfish.livejournal.com]

You know why everyone likes the Helsinki one more than the others? Because Fins and Estonians are superior at choral music to the entire rest of the world.

REPRESENT!!

[nobleplatypus]

Dude. Burn me some Estonian music! ...Please. :) Because the one time you visited me at SMU I only managed to rip one song, and it's reeeeally repetitive so I almost never listen to it. :P

*comments for icon meme*

That complaint choir thing was great, and I especially loved the Pachabel's Canon rant.

[nobleplatypus]

I'd say... the "Do you wanna buy a duck?" one. Because it's SO RANDOM. And ducks are awesome.

Why don't I have a duck-related icon? The closest I have is penguins!

[ember-firedrake.livejournal.com]

Hehe. My duck icon is actually part of a long in-joke. It's a game where you ask someone "Do you wanna buy a duck?" and they respond accordingly. Then they ask another person the same question. Second person responds "A what?", then the first person turns back to you and asks, "A what?". You tell them, "A Duck", and they tell the second person the same. Ditto for the "Does it quack?" question. And then you go on to another person. I originally played this game on a bus in Italy with a group of 44 people. We'd get to about 20 people before someone would say "NO, I don't want a duck."

(don't worry about the icon meme with me, I only have um.. six? And they're pretty much slap-dash ones)

Gayzus christ.... Ok, I had to TURN OFF the English choir because they SUCKED SO MUCH.

Really, they where terrible. But the Helsinki on was really good =D

[nobleplatypus]

Hahaha, I know. Only the Helsinki one really impressed me... maybe because I watched it first, and the others really couldn't compare.

[pujaemuss.livejournal.com]

Loved the Wicker Man thing. That was just two solid minutes of Nicolas Cage being mean to women and children.

PJW

Hehehehe I know! I think my favorite part might have to be him screaming, "How'd it get burned? HOW'D IT GET BURRRNED?!
