Those were the days my friend – Nando’s Last Dictator Standing
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
If you like this one, then also consider watching the Nando’s chicken breast commercial.

Etymology – When it doesn’t work (And some phantonyms)
All of us have a conscious or subconscious focus on etymology that serves us well, except at times when it doesn’t! See this video for an example.
Once in a while we come across a phantonym – a word that sounds opposite of what it means. The word “suffrage” is an excellent case in point, even though it wouldn’t qualify as a phantonym. The word root has been lost and the word sounds similar to “suffering” and has a negative ring to it. That combined with the age of the kids, I don’t take the video too seriously, I think it just makes a good joke, that’s all.
A similar confusion exists between bondage (bad) and bonding (good). I know that there is at least some confusion about this topic, because even one of our recent Presidents has said that “Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.”

Top 10 Dance Songs of All Time
I suspect, that the “top 10 dance songs of all time” is a characteristic more unique than a fingerprint. So, if you don’t agree with my assessment, thank you, thank you, thank you, for supporting my theory. If you don’t find a single song in common with your list, we aren’t even cousins! But I sure hope that you enjoy these songs!
I have tried to understand what “top 10 dance songs” means to me. The best I have come up to is that all of these songs are VERY positive an uplifting. There are many other songs that are routinely played on dance floors, such as “I will survive” by Gloria Gaynor, and sure I enjoy them, but it doesn’t feature anywhere in my top list. Each to their own I guess.
Enjoy – have an awesome day, and leave me a note of which other OBVIOUS song I entirely forgot to include. (How could I do that?)
10. Dancing Queen
9. Girls Just Wanna have fun – Cindy Lauper
8. Numa Numa
7. It’s a beautiful life – Ace of Base
6. Macarena
5. Kudi Kudi oh Kudi
4. Bon Jovi – Livin on a Paryer
3. Ketchup
2. Khao Piyo
1. Danza Kuduro

Define: Synchronicity
Here is an idea for another time – a video dictionary. This site (presumably videodictionary.com) should show a short video (5 – 10 seconds) for each word.
For example, for “synchronicity”, it would show:
Synchronicity: noun, and the first 4 seconds of the video below.

Excellent Video (Prodigal Son)
This is one of the best amateur videos I have ever seen – to the point that it isn’t really amateur. Let us just call it young director’s cut.
It is a two part video, so make sure you watch the “Up Next – Prodigal Son (Part 2/2)” video as well.
You can send gifts, etc to the director here.

Last funny prank video in my series
Ok, so if we are talking prank videos, this one is pretty good one too:

Japanese train pushers
I was looking for the 5th video for my “funny 7 videos” series, and I searched for funny videos on YouTube. Obviously, I had forgotten that fact is stranger than fiction. Following serious video explains it all:

Jay walking!
This JayWalking episode is quite funny! I cannot say for sure when someone goes on JayWalking if they start acting stupid simply for the fun sake or not. Sometimes I imagine that if I were on JayWalking, I would try to say something very stupid too.
Anyhow, here is the video – enjoy. (Very clear image quality too!)

Another funny video
This is the kind of prank that takes a bit of work to setup, but is very well done!
I especially like the guy who goes back into the toilet. I am still working on where he thinks he is going. Perhaps he will wait in until the meeting ends? How will he know? Will he take a peep in say 20 minutes?
