The folks over at 23/6 have compressed Keith Olbermann's Special Comments into one minute:

...thinking that [livejournal.com profile] balthrop looks a bit like Olbermann, and could probably do a passable imitation...

I answer questions on Yahoo! Answers. A recent question and someone else's answer had me laughing:

Q. You can use TTC tokens to get on a bus right?
I've lived in Toronto for 5 years and taken the TTC at least twice a week, but I've always thought that tokens were for buses only.

A. You can use Tolkiens for anything that is TTC, Bus, Streetcar, Subway. If it says TTC, you can use the Tolkien.


This is useful information. I'll be sure to stock up on Tolkiens for my trip in October.

Internet Explorer only displays the first 95 characters of a web page's title for display in its title bar. Sometimes that break comes at an unusual place:

You bought Nedsule.
You remember the misses of October?

Real translation (grabbed from YouTube comments, so we don't have to wait for [livejournal.com profile] amothea's husband to get home to translate):

I woke up early this morning
I felt drops on my head
I looked up & saw
what was going on up there
There was a hole, it was very big
& through it fell a nut
& a branch, & a very big bird egg too

CHORUS
There's a hole in my roof
I don't feel at ease
It's because of that hole in my roof

I called my friend Klus ("Chore")
He said, that's a job for me
He was hammering for about ten hours
Then you couldn't see the hole anymore
Klus called out, look I did it again
& jumped up & down of joy
Suddenly I heared a noise & crack
There's a hole in my roof again

CHORUS
There's a hole in my roof
I don't feel at ease
It's because of that hole in my roof

"Gandhi: Freedom Fighter for Indiana" will be the title of the book I wrote some day with my collection of closed-caption bloopers.

I saw a couple more today, presented here as they aired:

*Britney Speer was photographed topless making out with a 21-year-old hotel pool.

*You're watching Forks News Channel.

1. Navigate to this Yahoo! map.

2. Zoom in full.

3. Note the name of the restaurant at the center of the map.

(No, it's not a restaurant. But Yahoo! Maps thinks it is.)
