OK Go Releases Another Edit-Free (?) Video
— Ace

Remember these guys, who did that amazing treadmill video (awesome song, too) with no cuts? That was the most awesome internet song ever (at least until they were recently dethroned).

Well, they've done another one. I don't think I really love this song, and I don't know if I love the video either. And... I sort of suspect that this time they cheated and there are hidden cuts in places. (Then again, edit-free videos are their thing so maybe they wouldn't cheat. And also, I was pretty sure they cheated last time, too, but was wrong.)

But, I'll give it a chance to grow on me.

Via J-Go.

28 We saw a kitteh circus in Key West years ago. This hippie had those cats trained! They'd jump through flaming hoops, walk a tightrope, you name it. The guy showed up a few years later in Piedmont Park in Atlanta at the arts festival. Those kittehs were amazing.

32 I have mixed feelings.

On the one hand, puppehs = awesome

On the other, hipster 20-somethings dressed all in white = teh ghey.

On another note, we just got a new office dog last week. A rescue schnauzer named Molly. Just over a year old, and she's hell on wheels. Between our official office dogs and the ones from friends that visit several times a week, we're up to FOUR schnauzers.

Hell of a security force, spies engaging in industrial espionage will be licked to death.

38 dogfish, the "marching band" version of "This Too Shall Pass" is pretty clever, too. Wildly different from the Rube Goldberg one.

I don't like this new song nearly as much, but I do loves me some puppehs.

O/T...but goddamned important cuz I say so..

..I have never seen Mad Men. A female colleague told me that it's basically an idealized view of the world, albeit of 40 years ago, by gay men.

Anyhoo..some guy named Jon Hamm who is on the show said on that super genius Bill Maher's show that it's obvious that the Tea Party is about nothing but racism.

My guess is that there aren't any black people on the show...probably cuz they didn't exist in back then

48 33- I agree-the dogs were great, the humans? meh. A lot of what they were doing is similar to the training we did with our various hounds. The German Shepherd was the only one who really got it-or at least, she really cared about doing what we asked. The Lab? No. The Newfoundland? Hell no. He barks back at us when we give him a command. He's too much like my teenagers.

Way off topic but from Mark Knoller's Twitter:

"Someone tell VP Biden he's 1st in the line of succession to the Presidency. In remarks just now, he said he was 2nd. House Speaker is 2nd."

No - Biden meant what he said. He's still waiting for Obama to finish taking practice swings and actually, you know, start doing the job.

We were there! We even sort of looked for you guys. (We didn't see you either). We were sitting in the back (as usual) but on the left hand side as you face Jerry. (Normally, we are on the right hand side, but they took all the chairs that used to be back against the wall out--our normal spot!)

122 "Someone tell VP Biden he's 1st in the line of succession to the Presidency. In remarks just now, he said he was 2nd. House Speaker is 2nd." No! Tell him that the first in line of succession is any randomly chosen taxpayer, then tell him that the Speaker is second. He'll think he's off the hook and just about anybody would be an improvement.

Obama told a town-hall style meeting on CNBC.

Heh, besides the obvious Commie idiocy from that article, CNBC accidentally admits that it wasn't a true Town Hall meeting, just a meeting in the style of one.

Fuckers can DIAF. All of them.

We always park in the new part of the parking lot (towards the back across from the Hotel).

Oh, and one of the groomsmen from our wedding and his wife work in the nursery every Sunday, so we sometimes stop and talk to them on the way out.

If you are traveling at the speed of light and turn your headlights on, what happens?

Your headlights come on and shine normally- the light travels away from you at the speed of light. Relative to you, the light is simply travelling at light speed.
