Excerpts from a cat’s blog

Day 983 of my captivity

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomited on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies’. I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

100 iconic internet videos

// April 14th, 2009 // No Comments » // Funnies, Video

A few years ago I mentioned that the Numa Numa video was undoubtedly one of those ‘laughing so much the coffee came through my nose’ clips.

The team over at Urlesque listed the top 100 iconic internet videos that made us laugh so much we cried and perhaps, just perhaps, changed the internet as we know it. Admittedly I don’t recognise all of the videos on the list, but here are some of my favourites below.

80. Bill O’Reilly Flips Out (We’ll Do It Live!)
39. The Two Talking Cats
20. The Evolution of Dance
17. Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption
13. OK Go, ‘Here It Goes Again’ Treadmill Video
11. Numa Numa
10. Sneezing Baby Panda
1. Star Wars Kid

Geez it cracks me up every time.

Update: Turns out that it was four years, almost to the day, that I first blogged about the Numa Numa phenomenon. Remarkable.

Numa Numa

// April 16th, 2005 // 5 Comments » // Funnies

Numa Numa is undoubtedly one of those ‘laughing so much the coffee came through my nose’ clips.

Essentially it’s a flash-based clip of American Gary Brolsma lip-syncing to the Romanian techno song, “Dragostea Din Tei” by O-Zone, energetically on his webcam.

The video clip made him quite a celebrity, after he first posted his “Numa Numa Dance” on December 12, 2004. Since then it has had over 2,300,000 hits, popped up on hundreds of websites and blogs (including this one) and made appearances on ABC’s Good Morning America, CNN, and VH1’s Best Week Ever.

There are various versions of the clip, the original can be found here and one with additional content added here.

The latter has something to do with the future of ad-free content.
