This morning, whilst trying to acquire Homer Simpson singing “Spider Pig” I came across vixy.net, a site which makes it possible to download video and/or audio from YouTube videos. So I processed one of the Simpson Movie trailers and I now have this new Spider Pig MP3 as my ringtone… Cool!

Three days to go!
Mr. Brigstocke is a funny man, and his monologues on The Now Show are always worth listening to again. Helen brought this particular monologue to my attention, and so much of it could have come out of my mouth. If only I was as clever and witty…
It’s astonishing to me that there are so many movies I want to see this summer. This trailer for Transformers particularly whets the appetite…
Spider Pig is one of the funniest bits of the film, and the makers know it. The song Homer sings appears in various forms throughout the film. My previous Spider Pig MP3 didn’t have the middle section asking whether Spider Pig can swing from a web. So this morning I got another sound clip from the movie (again using vixy.net & YouTube) and made this (using Audacity) – the new full Spider Pig MP3!

I’m not good at writing movie reviews, but may it be known that The Simpsons Movie was brilliant. It was like a Simpsons TV episode over an hour and a half, rather than some meddled with nonsense that so many movies-from-tv programs are. I may go and see it again, because there were so many favourite bits I can’t recall which one was the best and it’s somehow important to know such things. I’ll certainly buy it on DVD. Most of all though, it wasn’t a disappointment. It was exactly how I had expected and hoped a Simpsons movie would be, and I’m grateful for that. Well done Mr. Groening and friends…
In other news, I am apparently most like Comic Book Guy. Thanks.
Better news is that the number of visitors to my site has increased ten-fold due simply due to the world’s love of Spider Pig. I didn’t realise that this post would have such an impact, but I like the fact that it has.
I’ll post something not about The Simpsons soon. Honest.
It’s the name of Peter Andre & Katie Price’s new baby of course!
Of most interest to me are these two lines :
From the BBC Website – “Katie always loved the name Princess, but everyone thought it was a bit over the top. I loved it too but I wanted to name her after both our mums.”
From Peter’s Website – “Peter and Katie have decided to name their new baby daughter TIAAMII. It is pronounced tee-ah-me and is taken from both their mum’s names.”
I did try and look on Katie’s website for her official comment but you have to register to read important news and I’m not that much of a celebrity-whore. Honest.
Still, I spy a bit of conflict here. I wonder if there’ll be calling it different names on their TV program!
Full of bad language, inappropriate and in bad taste. This one comes with a 15 certificate (at least) but if you’re into football it’s great fun…
I’m astonished that it’s taken me so long to find the Daily Mail-o-matic Daily Mail headline generator. I was alerted to it by a friend yesterday after I told him about a despicably vile woman in the restaurant we went to for lunch. It was the nearest I’ve come to walking up to someone in public and pouring water over them – if you’re going to spend the entire meal spouting racial hatred don’t drag your grandchildren into it, and don’t make the others diners hear it too by using your loudest voice. My ‘favourite’ quote, directed at her grandchildren, was this :
“Don’t repeat anything I’ve said at the table, people don’t like it.”
Because it’s hateful & wrong, so stop saying it! Arggahh!
I’m sure she’s like this headline :
COULD ASYLUM SEEKERS KILL THE BRITISH PEOPLE?
Whilst I like these…
DO TEACHERS STRIP YOUR MORTGAGE OF ALL DIGNITY?
WILL GAYS LEAD THE ELDERLY ASTRAY?
COULD GYPSIES GIVE BRITAIN’S SWANS CANCER?
There’s also the odd mention of the People’s Arse. Which is funny, if bordering on the Di-ly Express’s territory.
Have a play if you’ve not before…
OK, so earlier in the week I was wondering why I’d joined Facebook and questioning what its point was as a site. And yet today I sign up to Twitter and with the help of a very useful blog post have added it (as I wish it to be) to this site. I even tweaked the code a little which impressed me in my own simple way. What I do quite like about Twitter is that I can update it from my mobile for the cost of a text, which on my plan essentially means free. With LJ & (the hapless) Vox it had to be MMS messages which cost extra. I’m not sure why I need to be able to update my blog (or a part of it) from anywhere at anytime, but I like the idea that I can…
