OK, between us we found the truth.
The print ad (the guy and speaker) was Maxell!
The tagline (is it live...) was Ella Fitzgerald's voice shattering a glass for Memorex.

Should I recaption the thing or just let it ride?

Sorry? What does this mean?

Don't watch videos with these restrictions. I beg of you all.

"One Note Samba" performed June 22, 1969 by jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald with Ed Thigpen on drums; Frank de la Rosa, bass; and Tommy Flanagan, on piano.

clearly ella fitzgerald has been reincarnated as 2 white girls.

You're in luck, because I like all three of those things.

I agree. The only reason I attempt to shop for Christmas is because I know people are shopping for me. If there were an opt-out on Christmas presents I would definitely do that. Going to my parents' house to drink Irish coffees and eat turkey is good enough. It's what Jesus would've wanted...>> ^peggedbea:

i'm so dead incredibly outrageously fucking broke this year that we're skipping the christmas present part of christmas. i've informed my family that their rich asses can suck it, i'm checking out of going broke buying trinkets for rich people and their children this year so that i can keep my heat on instead.
and i'm thoroughly enjoying the season so far. it's only about baking and making christmas crafts and listening to ella fitzgerald over and over and over with my kids. it's beautiful.
you should all just tell the present part of xmas to suck a dick and make paper snowflakes for 4 weeks instead.

I can't agree more with your sentiment.

Every year we decorate our Xmas tree with a different "crafty thing" to avoid the urge to spend money on useless (and meaningless) glass baubles.

Last year we made ornaments out of Lego's (that I'd collected through my child-hood and passed onto my son.) It was an awesome tree, mainly because the family made all the ornaments together.

Why are dogs so racist?

"Legend" has it these dogs were bred then brought to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and used as hunting dogs. Supposedly, lion hunting dogs. Well, since hunting for sport was primarily a white person's past time, they were primarily owned by white families. They probably also had used them for protection and quite possibly trained them to be biased based on the color of a possible intruder's skin. Now, I don't know if racism can be bred into an animal, but I do know the amount of alert that dog would have depending on a new person's skin color was noticeable. Of course after introductions, Ella would be keen to that person and only tell jokes about their race when they weren't there.

RE: A musical mind fuck

The one my friend posted on Facebook is slightly different. I'm just showing you her answers since I did yours instead. )
