"and we is better at war and flying and shit than they is!"

I actually am in love with this sketch. It reminds me of the sort of thing my dad would lovvvve. Plus I think generally anything sounds funny in that British World War II style voice.



And it was all for Red Nose Day, so for a good cause, hooray!

Much love. x

"Wood, cheese, and children. They make your life so sweet."

I've FINALLY found Sean Cullen's Comedy Central Presents episode online.

Reasons why I love him:
1) He's Canadian
2) He can do accents... well
3) He's one of the best musical comedians around (up there with Tim Minchin and Bill Bailey)
4) Apart from being funny, he can really sing
5) His voice is rich as molasses
6) I've had the chimp and the woman song stuck in my head for about 2 years

I'm putting up part 1 of 3. Watch and enjoy. And watch out for the James Bond bit. Wonderful.

Much love. x

Who's the best at coughing and swearing?

Why, Dylan Moran is of course!

The man who inspired my mother's belief that I'm going to run off with an Irishman is making another appearance on the blog. This time in a short film from 2006, Tell It to the Fishes. Dylan plays Finn, a 'low rent hood' who has just been dropped on the shore, with his feet set in cement. The 10 minute- and some short beautifully displays the thin line between comedy and tragedy, and Dylan Moran just waltzes all around that motherfucking line. He's said it himself "I'm a dancer, it can't be contained."

In other words: Dylan Moran's portrayal of a bum who is going to die within a matter of hours–and knows it– is sooo hysterically tragic. Well done, sir.

Watch it. It's only ten minutes and you'll enjoy it, I promise.

Much love. x

My Life According to Travis

I originally got wind of this through a Facebook note I was tagged in. It's been saved on my computer for ages, and I've been meaning to do something with it. I suppose the most logical thing would be to just follow suit, and create my own note on facebook, but I have an inexplicable moral objection to Facebook notes, and try to avoid writing them whenever possible. Again, this is totally inexplicable; I have no idea why in my strange effed up mind a blog is more acceptable.

Anyhoodles, I present to you, dear reader, My Life According to Travis, one of the most consistently wonderful bands, ever.

Using only song names from ONE artist, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to some people you like and include me. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "my life according to (band name)."
