Shakespearean “Who’s on first?”

So, in honor of the discovery of the “original” William Shakespeare’s Star Wars, I got it into my head to look for other “original” classics by the original classic. What strange notion caused me to think of “Shakespeare’s ‘Who’s on First'” (which was later performed by Abbott and Costello) I have no idea, but I discovered a pair of actors who perform that very thing!

Verily, prithee direct thine attention hither, that thou mayest indeed partake the wit and flummery of said thespians, as they parlay with merriment and tomfoolery the verbal antics of a pair of ballers of the basest kind!
(apologies for the degradation of the video towards the end, it’s the original uploader’s problem)

Mayhap, enjoy!

David Lee Roth, hitman?

Well, yeah, he was a “hit, man” back in the 80’s as part of Van Halen, but he’s been in Japan filming a supposed “trailer” for a supposed Japanese yakuza (gangster) film. He’s gotten older (as have we all) and more craggy, almost alien in this trailer. Which I guess is appropriate, since Japanese consider everyone else “aliens” (gaijin). If this is going to be a real movie, which I doubt, it could be pretty good, especially if it’s actually more of a spoof. I mean, an American hitman taking out yakuza in a Japanese bath house, while quoting “Sailor Moon”? And taking the bath he paid for afterwards? Way over the top! And no on-screen violence, either, which is a welcome change.

While it lasts, here’s the “trailer”.

Enjoy!

Better hope your next surgeon was a gamer…

Somehow I can see the scene at certain homes: “Honest, Mom, I’m going to be a surgeon, I need to keep playing!”

Hour a day on a Wii boosted surgeons’ skills: Console helped doctors speed and efficiency in delicate procedures

"Oh, I'm not a surgeon, but I did just marathon 36 hours on a World of Warcraft campaign!"

Katsucon 2013: pre-convention cosplay

So, I went to pick up my badge for Katsucon 2013 Thursday night, and managed to catch a few cosplayers wandering the hotel/convention center. I put most of the pictures on a photography page, but I thought I’d share a few in a post.

Cute game of “rug o war” with a cat…
