Jealous Of The Rhyme And The Rhyme Routine

Japanese techno-pop with faux slow motion dancing? It must be Random Tuesday.

Hey. You. Ya, you with the hair. Go back to the video and watch a bit. Just watch the first little bit. Or skip ahead to about 3:45 and watch from there. Really, you'll enjoy it. If you don't, I'll give you your money back.

Heh heh.

Ernie and Bert if Picasso had drawn them.




Occasionally they don't fight.


File this under "the world is just awesome."


See all those brown spots and the grey spots underneath them? They're manta rays. Seriously. click on the picture. From German photographer Florian Schulz:

"During an aerial expedition over the coast of Baja California Sur, I came across something I had never seen before. Not even my pilot, who has surveyed this area for 20 years, had seen anything like it. As we glided high above over the water looking for whales, a large dark spot caught our attention. As we got closer we started to discover its nature: an unprecedented congregation of rays. The group was as thick as it was wide, all heading towards the same direction. I have asked around why this took place but no one has been able to explain it to me. After such a unique sighting, I realise there are so many marvels in the oceans that we are yet to understand. Our knowledge of the oceans is so limited; I just hope that we are in time to rescue it before it collapses from pollution and over fishing."

Yesterday, on the ZNN, a blog I share with Middle Aged Woman from Unmitigated, Jenni of Oscarelli commented that:
"you should do a post comparing newborns to zombies. there are ample similarities. babies are cuter, duh, but both are slow moving and suck the life out of you."

She might have something there. If this kid had teeth he'd have gnawed my arm off.

Speaking of zombies, check out The Un Mom for more Random Tuesday fun.

  4. Very cool vid.
    And yup. Nature did us a huge favor by not allowing humans to be born with a full set of teeth.

  5. workin' my way backwards, I say "kids suck the life out of you...and leave an empty shell." I'm just starting to get back some life now that #2 is out of the house, again!

    Manta ray photo is phenomenal. Imagine capturing this. It's once in a lifetime.

    Your boys are really adorable.

    Bert & Ernie: hahahahaha!

    Finally, the techno pop dance sequence; I actually liked it. I watched about half, then moved to 3:45 and I see what you mean. But it's compelling in it's weird way.

  8. Wow newborns (and all kids) are like Zombies, they do totally suck the life out of you. Never thought about that similarity before. That manta ray thing is very cool. I wonder what they were all doing?

    ReplyDelete
  9. That sure was random. I feel like I went on a trip and now I'm back.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Those kids get cuter every day!

    Ok, now I'm going back to watch the video.

    I promise!

  12. Small, tiny zombies are MUCH cuter! And that is one cute small human! Love the picture of the boys...they are getting SO BIG!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Zombies and babies...I knew it!

    That video was actually pretty cool! The heartbeat / fluttery hands things was completely freaky, but I loved it! lol!

    Kids that don't fight...wow..I thought that was an urban legend...

    Bert and Ernie rock...

  14. My older sister was born with a few teeth. I'm amazed my mother agreed to have more after her.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Can you imagine jumping into that fray?

    ReplyDelete
  16. ZNN! Following! Zombies are a very real threat and when they come my brothers and I will be ready. We have to start training my husband though.

    ReplyDelete
  17. If zombies really looked like Finn, we'd be in big trouble. Powerless against the cute.

    Very cool photo, but also a little creepy. Nature, man.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Do you think the rays all saw the plane, got together and said, "Let's screw with their minds, he, he, he."?

    And face it, if he gnawed your arm off, as he got closer to your face you'd say, "Awww, come here for a kiss, Finn!"

    ReplyDelete
  19. babies and zombies...lol you are funny

    ReplyDelete
  20. Cute kids can be forgiven. Zombies, not so much. However, you don't have to change zombies, just kill them. So, there's that too.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Video - Can I get a partial refund?
    B/E - I like how Ernie is licking his own nose - good stuff.
    Fight - They both seem distracted - that seems to be the key...keep 'em distracted!
    Rays - WOW!!!
    Babies Vs. Zombies - Sounds like a Blockbuster HIT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Every blog is made better with zombies and Asian women.

  23. My neighbor's baby started getting teeth at 4 months. Once he could really bite she would get these huge bruises on her arms from his chomping. It was brutal.

    Those rays are crazy - I thought that was a coral reef for something.

  24. Mickey Finn won't be a very good zombie, until you redirect him to the general location of the brains...maybe he want to enjoy the bone marrow first? Like a daddy appetizer.

    ReplyDelete
  25. That Manta Ray picture looks a little freaky. Like something out of some science fiction movie! It's as if they're "running away from something"!!!!!!

    Godzilla perhaps? Or maybe a huge oil spill...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Your posts are far between (for me) but they never disappoint. That shot of the mantas was awesome! My wife is a diver and would loved to have been there for that!

    Cute kid, too!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Are those manta rays, or are those....

    PIRANHAS!! IN 3-D!!!! GET OUT OF THE WATER!!!!

    Just saying.

    Babies to Zombies. Yes. I wrote a post once comparing my students to zombies, that was just too easy.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Seriously, the baby pictures slay me every week. He just gets cuter and cuter.
    Love the Picasso! Where did you find that?

    ReplyDelete
  29. That picture of the manta rays is amazing!
    Happy RTT!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't know what I love more, the Japanese guys -- especially when they're, um, running -- the manta rays, your boys or B&E.

    This would be like 6 blogposts for me.

    Okay, okay, I love the Japanese guys the most. After your boys.

  31. You called me on skipping the video. I'm so glad because that was completely freaking AWESOME!

    The rays - and the quote - completely mind blowing. Nature is so cool.

    Those boys are pretty awesome too. Even the little zombie.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Your random thoughts are THE BEST!!!

    That video was cool. I'm stealing it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The picture of Finn takes me back to when my youngest was teething. He would just sit and gnaw on my bent finger for hours. It was his favorite hobby and didn't bother me too much until those first teeth came in. Then it was ouchy for mommy! Great post! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Awwww...I love cute zombie babies!

    And I swear I tried to watch the slow motion dancing japanese people video but it wouldn't load properly.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That video is AWESOME! AWESOMMMMMMMME! All I kept thinking was man, they must have rock hard thighs!

    Hehehehehe, brainzzzzzzzzz. Whuh? Got mine sucked out long ago.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That was just the heapin' helping of random I needed...'cause I'm a day late and a buck short.

    Thank you for the brain fizz!

    P.S.: That Finn is just too dang cute. Wow.

  39. I think all those manta rays were just seen exiting a UT football game.

    ReplyDelete
  40. P.S. I think you might have an adorable child.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The manta rays are INCREDIBLE.


    and so is that miniature snarling adorable creature on your lap.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I dive, and would let your latest spawn gnaw off my arm to see one, let alone hundreds.

    ReplyDelete
  43. The manta rays look incredible. Bet their young don't eat their parents' thumbs.

    ReplyDelete
  44. The manta ray picture was awesome!!! I think the boys weren't fighting cause their backs are to each other LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. That picture of the manta rays? Completely awesome. Nature still never ceases to amaze and I'm glad. At least there a few times in this jaded world we can be surprised and overjoyed.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ok, I'll give it to you, the video was pretty entertaining. I wasn't going to watch it. The photo of the manta rays is really cool. Very interesting. Try not to let the baby suck the life out of you. You have a blog to keep up.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Gotta love the Japanese. I don't know where you find this stuff but it is always entertaining.
