Hipsters can't hi-jack that word (is that Bono in your avatar?) ulysses, they're only allowed to co-opt it...OH, and most of em look silly doin' the 2000's version, all the while reeking of ineffectual pretension touting sub-standard grooming and last-century literature! Oh, and if you're gonna call yourself a real hipster you'd better dig bebop and trad jazz, otherwise......POSER!!

..and please put-out the foul ciggy from Belarus, the shits' nasty and your teeth are mustard....Oh, and tell Betty there to shave her legs and you, TAKE A BATH!!.

Since we're revisiting this, mine was http://videosift.com/video/Ridan-Ulysse

I'm glad it's OK, I really like that one (and Ulysse from the same show, in the related videos).
In reply to this comment by mintbbb:
I can't get this to play: An error occured: DailymotionPlayer is not defined at undefined line undefined

EDIT: nm, it is fine now

I'm still waiting for the follow-up historical epics The Dungeons of Ulysses S Grant and The Passion of the Nixon.

Wait wait. I was with you up until you implied that Avatar: The Last Airbender was crap. It wasn't! Someone from the sift even worked on it, I forget who. Shamalama may have totally FUCKED the movie, but the cartoon was great fun, and actually quite poignant in parts. Not to mention, the artwork is gorgeous (see the fight between azula and zuko that I sifted, for example).

Of course maybe I read too much into your comment and you weren't implying that at all. In which case please ignore this comment entirely.

Cartoons are the thing most likely to bring out the grumpy old man in me.
Transformers (the original, not the rubbish bayhem or the anime crap), Thundercats, Ulysses 31 were all awesome. Hell, even later stuff like Animaniacs, Samurai Jack and Dexters Lab were excellent.
Kids these days with their yu-gi-mon the last air whatever! It's crap.
now get off my lawn!

@ulysses

You are correct sir! It's Titicaca. The blue looking area to the left is all rainforest free of the "human infestation".

Long, long time sift fan, first time poster. I don't know why I chose now to start.

Upvote for Carlin, but I must agree with ulysses that Carlin's work stands on it's own and needs no help from amateur video editors.

Oh, what I actually learned is how Ulysses was censored/ banned and how one good judge unbanned it and set a great precedent against censorship of literature. But sadly, that judge was not Lord Cockburn.

I don't really see it, but I did enjoy watching all the sifted Manu Chao videos. Thanks for suggesting them

I like it. Reminds me of a French Manu Chao

There's more to it -- http://www.portablepoetry.com/poems/alfredlord_tennyson/ulysses.html -- but:

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Not bad as much as just horribly generic emo/lame attempt at post hardcore.

Pose Hardcore is in and of itself bad.

Wrong.
Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Les Savy Fav, Refused, Hot Water Music, Cap'n Jazz, At The drive In, Fugazi, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, Jawbox...


I guess I was just ignorant of what Post Hardcore was. This cover is definitely not Post Hardcore then, but whatever it is, it's terrible, terrible shit.

Don't ban this member! It's my grandma-ma. She doesn't know what she's saying! She thinks she's still 29 and all she ever does is copy-paste ads from her internet shopping sprees. She can't help it. She lives in some twisted, anachronistic past akin to Norma Desmond.

I ask, "Grandma-ma, why do you keep buying all this replica Tiffanys crap?" And she replies, "Dahling, it's to impress the suitors." But, grandma-ma," I says, "There are no more suitors."

To which she starts babbling about her fair Ulysses being gone so long that she became a dried up, crustacean of a woman -- her only lucid moment, despite it being entrenched in epic poetic nonsense. Honestly, though, I wish I could remember half the things she utters. It's quite mad, really -- and by mad, I mean, maddeningly hilarious -- in an endearing sort of way.

I wish you all knew how unrepresentative of herself her past 3 comments have been. Really, I just adore the woman. I adore her so much, sometimes I wear a wig fashioned after her own liceless head of hair. And I like to carry around a knife when I do this -- because when I was young, she loved cooking. I'd help her chop up onions and celery to serve the guests at the motel she runs -- sorry, ran. Since descending into her strange state, she hasn't had time to run things, so I do all that now. I'm what you call a real handy man -- fixing the televisions, talking to our vulnerable, feminine guests, and cleaning the pools...

oh yes, always, always cleaning the pools.
