"You're The Best"

Vixy.net is a web-based application that allows you to convert all Flash-based videos (i.e. YouTube, MySpace Video, etc.) into various offline usable formats (MPEG for Windows, Quicktime for Mac, mp4 for iPod or PSP, etc.). Another feature it has is the ability to just strip the audio and convert to mp3 (and we all know where that's usable).

So I was recently helping a friend on his hunt for an mp3 of the song "You're The Best," by Joe Esposito. Many of you would know this classic from The Karate Kid. As iTunes only allows this song to be purchased as part of the entire soundtrack (whole album) to The King of Kong (more on that here), I decided to get creative and look for a video with the song on YouTube (and subsequently convert it to mp3 via Vixy). In my search, I came across this gem:

F'ing Classic!!

Random Goodness

Just a couple of things on my radar today:

Britney Spears is calling her new album Blackout. Seriously.

It's Kid's Week on Jeopardy. The big winner: a white kid named "Kizzle"

And finally...

Upon watching a commercial tonight for the new allergy drug Veramyst, I read the following line at the bottom of the screen:

The way VERAMYST works is not entirely understood.

Here, check it out for yourself (about 14 seconds in):

Am I the only one who finds this strangely hilarious AND troublesome at the same time?

That's about it for now... More to come soon...

Sorry, Roger - You Tiger Now!

Every once in a while, there comes along a commercial that just makes you El Oh El... We were just talking about this particular commercial at last night's Florida Panthers home opener...:

"Sorry Roger - you tiger now!"

I think that one's safe enough to file away with this favorite of ours:
