Quentin Smith has kindly offered to host the “Doom 3-Playing Teenagers
Screaming Like Hyenas in a Wood Chipper” video on a high-bandwidth
server. I don’t know how long he can do it for, so there are no
guarantees.
Thanks very much, Quentin! I raise a filet mignon on a flaming sword to you!
(And yes, the kids in the video were what convinced me to go and
get a copy of the game. As soon as I find out why my Radeon 9800 isn’t
working right.)
For those of you who will be in the vicinty of Accordion City this evening, my BodyPump
class (bench presses to Alien Ant Farm, shoulder lifts to MC Hammer,
sit-ups and push-ups to AC/DC) will be having a “BodyPump night out”
tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Tortilla Flats (Queen Street, just east of Spadina) after today’s workout.
Why am I announcing this? Because:
Photos tomorrow.
In lieu of the server-hogging “Screaming Doom Boys” video (a whopping 8MB file downloaded by a lot of people), I present to you: a teeny MP3 file (150K) featuring Master Thespian William Shatner not taking any guff from the director on the Star Trek set.
Latest Update: Quentin Smith is hosting the file here. Muchas gracias, Quentin!
Update: The server got hammered, so the file’s been taken offline.
Judging by this video [7.8 MB Windows Media], Doom 3
is either a very scary video game, or these two have a budding career
in horror-slasher films playing “the killer’s first two victims”.
Warning: You might want to turn down your computer speakers before playing this video. These guys scream like hyenas in a wood chipper.
I’ll bet these kids look exactly the same when they place the winning bid on eBay. Click the picture to see the video.
Tonight at the Drake Hotel (1150 Queen Street West, two blocks east of Dufferin) my friend Diana Galligan will be performing a one-woman comedic play she wrote called Viva Vivi! Here’s her synopsis:
The show starts at 9:30. I’ll be there a little beforehand to mingle
with the crowd, enjoy a pint of the darkest beer they have on tap, say
hello to my fellow members of the Thirsty People of Toronto and make sure I get a good seat.
Here’s a single frame from the “at the desk” sequence of my CTV interview from a couple of days ago, annotated. It tells a lot:

Pondering
over the conundrum of the sign will prepare you for many things,
including dating, quantum physics and trying to make both marketing and
engineering happy.
