C’est bizarre à dire… mais cette présentation stastitique de 20 minutes est époustouflante et inspirante. Imaginez avoir ce prof à l’école.

Rugby World Cup – Sébastien Chabal

 

C’est présentement la folie pour le RWC (Rugby World Cup), qui a lieu en France cette année. Je ne connaissait rien de ce sport jusqu’à tout récemment. Mais j’avoue que je commence à vraiment apprécier. Beaucoup plus intéressant que le soccer. J’adore la beauté de la puissance brute avec un bel esprit d’équipe. De plus, je pensais pas que les français pouvaient aligner de si gros gaillards. Le XV de France a justement un joueur surnommé « L’homme des cavernes » : Sébastien Chabal. Une topo du mec sur wikipedia ici.

He is renowned for his hard-hitting and aggressive style of play, but a short temper has led to disciplinary problems,…

…He is a favourite amongst both Sale Shark (his pro team in England) and French rugby fans, and has developed a strong online following, who call themselves “Chabalists”.

Date of birth December 8, 1977 (age 29)
Place of birth Valence
Height 1.92 m (6 ft 3+1⁄2 in)
Weight 117 kg (257 lb)
Nickname Attila, Cartouche, Sea-bass, Caveman, Hulk, the Anesthesiologist, Hobo

Il est sublime à voir jouer. Une vraie bête. Un guerrier médiéval.

Sarkozy un peu bourré au G8: vodka, poutine…bon mix!

Un peu plus d’info via Liberation

– – Jeudi le 14 juin – –

Bon, Bon! Il semble qu’il n’était pas saoul. Si ca vient du Libé… sur Sarko.. on peut le croire non?

Tempête dans un verre de vodka

L’affaire a à ce point affolé le Net que le présentateur belge a présenté des excuses officielles auprès de l’ambassade de France à Bruxelles… Mais alors, saoul, Sarkozy, lui pourtant sobre comme un chameau ? Même pas : les journalistes qui ont suivi la conférence de presse n’ont rien décelé de la sorte. Détail amusant, enfin : celui que le Net soupçonne d’avoir servi vodka sur vodka à Sarkozy, Vladimir Poutine, ne touche pas non plus à l’alcool. Il est fort, ce Sarkozy : il ne boit pas, mais c’est tout l’Internet qui s’enivre.

– – Jeudi le 21 juin – –

Voici la raison selon Libé

Dans des propos rapportés par Le Parisien/Aujourd’hui en France, le président donne sa version: «J’étais en retard, j’ai donc monté les escaliers quatre à quatre. Je n’avais rien de particulier à dire. J’ai donc demandé s’il y avait des questions. Je ne bois pas une goutte d’alcool. Je n’ai pas de mérite : je n’aime pas cela».

Obama’s Background ?????????????

Could Barack Hussein Obama be the next US President ?

A BBC article on him here.

Barack Obama also has a good line to fend off any questions about his weird name.

“When I first started to work in public life… people would ask: ‘Hey brother, what’s with your name? You called Alabama or Yo’ Mama?'”

As for the unfortunate middle name, Hussein means “blessed” in Arabic and as the senator puts it: “The American people don’t care about middle names.”

…

His inexperience in the Senate may turn out to be an asset and he has the same talent that JFK apparently had of appearing glamorous and humble at the same time.

…

When pressed about an apparent admission in print that he had smoked marijuana, Barack Obama replied: “Yes, and I inhaled. That was the point.”

He sounds a bit like a preacher in the above clip.

His new book (The Audacity of Hope) is now on Amazon’s #2 Sales Rank, just after: You: On A Diet: The Owner’s Manual for Waist Management ;)

Cock Blocking in Action

On voit dans ce clip des Têtes à Claques… un exemple parfait d’une tentative de “Pure Cock Blocking”.

Some of you may recognise yourselves.

Can’t Sleep? Try OTR.

http://www.otr.net/

“The OTR.Network Library is a free resource for Old Time Radio (OTR) fans. We have over 12,000 OTR shows available for instant listening, with 100 more added each week.”

What is OTR?

From Wikipedia:

Old-Time Radio (OTR) and the Golden Age of Radio are phrases used to refer to radio programs (audio theater) mainly broadcast, in the USA, during the 1920s through the late 1950s.

By those who listened to the shows at the time, vintage radio is now most vividly remembered by its most vivid fragments: fanfares and show openings, running gags, trademark sounds and newsworthy events, such as the headlines generated by The War of the Worlds when it was dramatized on Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater on the Air. Some still recall the creaking-door sound effect on Inner Sanctum Mysteries, the Dragnet theme music, the “Hi-Yo, Silver!” call of the Lone Ranger or the cackle of The Shadow: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows.” 

I’m really hooked on this stuff. It’s very simple and naive. It has these very cool intense and DRAMATIC orchestral music  effects that can’t help but put a smile on your face.

My personal favorite is”The Saint” with Vincent Price.
