Here’s this week’s caption contest. This one involves food — big pizzas with lots of meat. One of the guys in the picture looks like Adam Richman of Man vs Food, but I’m not for sure, because I haven’t seen this in an episode yet. It looks like they’re in Chicago, where there is much awesome pizza to be found. (Oh, how I long to return to Chicago for some of their famous deep-dish pizza!) But back to the point, regardless of who it is, write what may be going on here in this photo.

When you walk into a non-occupied room, it’s a good practice to say, “I know you’re listening.” If no one’s there, no one knows. But if there’s some secret spy organization listening to you, they’re gonna be really surprised and scared…
I just learned that Arkansas doesn’t have an official state fish. I don’t suppose that matters too much really, but there’s all kinds of other official state items, so why not? The state legislature is currently debating the issue, trying to choose one, but things are getting political. I know, over a fish?!? That’s a prime example of why politics are stupid…
Anyway, one of the TV news stations in Arkansas recently had a poll on what the state fish should be. So far the top vote-getter is the blue catfish. Also worthy of mention is crappie, bass, and trout. But receiving 25 percent of the vote was “fried fish”.
I don’t know that “fried fish” should count as a state fish, because that’s very ambiguous, but then again, we are in the South, and deep-frying food is like a pastime to many people. Also, another reason why I can see a vote for that is because they taste great! 🙂 I realize you probably won’t find fried fish in fancy restaurants, nor would you find catfish, but it makes for some great eatin’! Add some fries and hushpuppies, along with lots of ketchup, and you have a feast!
I just came across a crazy Indian music video called Tunak Tunak Tun. For some reason, this reminds me of the ’80s… but in a funny way. I would like for you to watch it, then let’s talk about it. 🙂
Please watch the video before continuing reading, to get the full experience. It starts a little slow, but then it jams, and these guys have some funky-fresh dance moves. 🙂
I have to wonder, would it be better if you could tell what they’re saying? And speaking of that, do any of you have any idea what this video is about? Every time I try to figure that out, I’m just speechless…
I did some research* and this was the first Indian video to use a blue screen. And apparently the Tunak Dance is popular, and there’s even a parody of it in World of Warcraft. I also found another video of it, where someone put the lyrics on the screen. That’s helpful, because it’s kinda hard to interpret what they’re saying.
* That is, I browsed YouTube.
Here’s the version with some lyrics on the screen. I know, you just watched it, but it gets funnier each time you watch it. Trust me.
Have you watched the second video yet? If so, let’s continue.
Okay, so the lyrics might have been an interpolation rather than an interpretation or translation. But at least now we know it has something to do with bears.
Are any of you curious to what the actual lyrics are in English? Well, I found a link for you. But before I reveal that, remember that curiosity killed the cat. Although I don’t think any of my regular readers are cats. (If you are, e-mail me because I have a secret mission for you.) If you really want to know the translated lyrics, you can read them here. And by read, I mean read them as subtitles to the music video. Yes, you have to watch it again! MUWAHAHAHA!
Actually, this video gets funnier each time I watch it.
