Telephone Parody

So you know how I love Lady Gaga and her crazy antics.  Check out this parody!  Its freaking hilarious!

Bolo Santosi

I got this via Mr Brown (a really popular Singapore blog) and its hilarious!  This is a montage of a character in the popular game Just Cause 2 called Bolo Santosi who is I guess a Southeast Asian islander.  I've never seen the game before so I don't know for sure but boy does it have some superb voice acting!  

So this sounds remarkably like the "original" Singaporean accent.  Original being in quotation marks please.  For folks who haven't heard a Singaporean speak, this is NOT how we talk.  I repeat this is NOT how I sound.  This is just a really bad, campy version, and for those of you who know what I mean, its very "Masters of the Sea"- a really really horrific drama series known for its bad script and worse accents. 

What's really interesting about the whole thing is this is US based game and apparently this is what an "exotic" Southeast Asian accent is suppose to sound like!  (The game is based on a fictional Southeast Asian island - I see the connection...)  Seriously couldn't they get a better voice actor to do this??  What I want to know who is hell voiced Bolo Santosi!

"My name is Bolo Santosi... I am the leader of the revolutionary army known as the Reapers..."

Awesome Commercial

Ever wonder how to take the best pictures of yourself?  Check out the new Samsung camera (no obviously my blog isn't famous enough for me to get paid advertisement...)!  Personally I have a Canon Powershot with a flipout screen so I know how important it is to be able to see what you're taking!  And you know what they say... a picture paints a thousand words!

A Depressed Whale

This is so funny!  Story of my life:  "I'll be honest, I don't fully understand where that leaves us..."

Oh my god this is so funny. Damnit, is this going to be MY life in Michigan?

Student Meals

Ok, I must admit I don't quite look my age, particularly on Friday when I'm no longer in heels and a jacket. Friday is dress down casual day and I take full advantage of the fact that I no longer need to squeeze my little feet (little as they may be, they still hurt in heels!) in my closed toed heels. In fact, I'm usually in jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers. I used to dress up a little more on Friday, with more casual heels and sometimes a strange flowy flowery top, but what the hell, its Friday, if I wanna wear sneakers, who's going to stop me?

Anyway I digress. So Friday. I was in my t-shirt and sneakers and was heading for lunch with my boss and another older colleague of mine. We finally decided on Pizza Hut (god knows why) and we sat down to peruse the menu. The elderly waitress, who was probably 50 or so, kudos to Pizza Hut for hiring older workers, kept telling me about the student meal discount.

"If you have your student pass with you, you can get $2 off the set meal. But you will need to show your student pass. Do you have your student pass with you?"

I just smiled and said no. I didn't get the student rate and my boss and colleague were laughing their heads off. It would have been funnier if this didn't happen in front of my boss, who as cool as she is, I don't quite want her to think I'm a child...
