Time to Virtual Hurricane Party (...like it's 1999!)

In honor of Monsieur Ike brewing and slowly creeping his way out of the gulf, I have decided to host a hurricane party. Of course, this party will be virtual, that way it stays safe, dry, and everyone can come!

You are all cordially invited to join me in the safety and relative dryness of netspace as we weather out the storm1 in our respective corners of the world. Virtual blankets, cots, and bean bag chairs are scattered about this post for your comfort, a massive imaginary entertainment center to your right, and of course, the snack table in the back. For the imbibers, I direct you the invisible well-stocked bar, where the wild-haired Czech/bartender2 will be glad to assist you. We also have a virtual minifridge stocked with plenty of soda and water for tho who prefer to abstain.

No need to bring anything to the party but yourself, however any offerings of virtual snacks, lawl-worthy net macros, amusing anectdotes, comment!fic/art/etc, YouTube clips, recs, random philosophical discussions, or anything really is always welcomed and appreciated. After all, it's a party!3

Pull up a chair, bean bag, floating carpet, or seating choice of your fancy and join the party in the comments section!

1 - If it's sunny in your area, we can totally weather that out too. Hey, what are friends for?
2 - Use caution when ordering from the Zelenka-tender. He has been known to hoist his fanon, but very potent homebrewed vodka on unsuspecting patrons.
3 - There's a distinct possibility I have no earthly clue on how to throw parties?

Entertainment Center

For your viewing pleasure, we will be providing links to YouTube and other streaming media clips. Subject matter may vary, but will likely be geared to try and make you snort Zelenkastoli out of your nose.

First up, my favoritest commercial. Ever.

OMG I LOVE THAT COMMERCIAL.

I remember when it was originally on; we quoted it for years. Years! I actually went and tracked it down myself a couple months ago...

A few other favorite commercials:

That old Sprite campaign cracked me up... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwSOfW-9jXw)

Neil Patrick Harris! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TusJ8HSLaUs)

And of course the Got Milk commercials:
Wait a minute...where am I? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtxDhWAV9Oc)
And the original - who shot Alexander Hamilton? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLSsswr6z9Y)

It's like the best commercial evah! I remember quoting it a lot in high school, especially at very dramatic (re: dull) moments.

And of course the Got Milk commercials
Oh, god, how could I forget the Got Milk commercials? The Heaven/Hell one is my favorite, but the Alexander Hamilton one still cracks me up as well!

Speaking of soda commercials:

Dramatic Lemur! (well, technically I believe it's a tarsier, but...)

Dramatic Lemur (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqqMPPg2VI)

The first time I saw this, I rewatched it about a dozen times in a row. I don't know what that says about my sense of humor. Nothing good I suspect.

Of course, there's always Celebrity Jeopardy.

BAHAHAHa, oh, you have EXCELLENT taste! Both the snickers commercial (as [livejournal.com profile] xparrot already said, we used to quote it. A LOT. And the SNL CJ? We have *all* of 'em, (in veerrrrry low video quality, but still ^_-) "I can't remember the rest, but your mother's a whore!"

I would contribute, but sadly, I think neechan's already beat me to most of the links. Err, do crazy random *huggles* count as contribution?

I lied, two *very* random links:

Spinning dancer (http://greengabbro.net/2007/10/20/the-spinning-dancer-and-the-brain/): Yay for weird brain tricks, which way does she spin?

And so this is a charity site (http://www.freepoverty.com/), and I really do hope I'm donating that much water, but the sad truth is I keep going back cause the random test of my geography knowledge is strangely addictive. (But hey, now I'm finally learning all my African countries. That's a plus, right? ^_-)

Ooh, I donated 54 cups! (It took me a second to figure out I was supposed to click on the area, I R slow). That is a teeny bit addictive.

Although that dancer... I swear she's switching directions when I'm not looking!

Re: Entertainment Center

[identity profile] gnine.livejournal.com 2008-09-14 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeah, just a teeeeeny bit ^_- (I've played enough that I've gotten over 400 cups...oops? :-p)

And did you read the thing on the dancer? oh, optical illusions are just so cool!

Ahahaha! "The day is mine!" Celebrity Jeopardy never fails to cheer me up! I actually wound up watching two last night that I hadn't seen before, and I thought I'd seen 'em all.

Crazy random huggles are always welcome as well! :D

The Quantum of Solace (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kQW2MtibAmk) trailer looks all kinds of cool. But the proposed theme song (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TMoJRLStD9c) is even better...

Re: Entertainment Center

LMAO! "The Santum of Quolace... I might have gotten that confused..."

The trailer does look cool, but that theme song rocks my socks off!
