I know what you all are saying: “B-Side, you write about Big Brother and Mad Men all the time. How about more German videos???” Well, I’ve heard you loud and clear. Enjoy these German bloopers of Chancellor Angela Merkel, or as I like to call her, Angie Merks. I don’t understand any of it, but …

Jessie Hones His Inner Primordial Monkey Man
Jessie from Big Brother 10 and Chris Kattan’s Mr. Peepers from Saturday Night Live. It’s not a perfect match, but somehow it works. Thanks to A Fisher for the pic.
LEAVE MY iMAC ALONE!!!
This past Saturday, I had to make my first ever visit to Apple’s Genius Bar (a.k.a. help desk) as my poor little iMac seemed to have come down with the vapors. While I waited for my name to come up in the queue, I couldn’t help but notice a strange young man standing nearby, aimlessly …
Skydiver 2, Tubas 0
Most parachuters like to land on grass. Some, however, like to touch down ON TOP OF A MILITARY BAND. That’s right. Yesterday, during some sort of military event, a skydiver descended from on high and unfortunately landed amidst the brass section of one very unlucky marching band. To be fair, the guy didn’t intend to …
If Betty White and Ted Bundy Had a Love Child…
My good friend IndianJones recently issued this challenge to me: “Are there any posts tagged ‘death’ and ‘funny’? That would be more useful.” I assume he’s talking about physical death, not metaphorical death (such as the one suffered by the New England Patriots’ dreams after their near perfect but ultimately failed 2007 season). Well, the …

NPR Provides Twangiest Moment of 2008
When it comes to Southern drawls, twangs, and everything in between, it’s hard to top Sheila Kennedy from Big Brother 9. However, leave it to NPR’s All Things Considered, champion of the rural human interest story, to dig up quite simply the twangiest dialect this side of Tammy Wynette. In fact, it’s so twangy that …
What A Sad and Pathetic Swan
I just stumbled upon this article in Yahoo’s “Oddly Enough” news department, and while I’m sure it’s supposed to be amusing and heartwarming, I just found it troubling and sad. Okay, and amusing too. Basically, in 2006, a black swan named Petra fell in love with a paddleboat that resembles — you guessed it — …
CURIOUS THOUGHT: What If Juliette Binoche and Abigail Breslin Swapped Heads?
Earlier today, I was looking at a picture of Abigail Breslin on Best Week Ever, and for some reason, her face struck me as being particularly Juliette Binoche-ish. I couldn’t help wondering if it was just me, or if their faces were truly interchangeable. I busted out the Photoshop, and ten minutes later, I had …

DAS YOUTUBE: Six Awesome German Videos
Last week, the above clip was featured on Digg and quickly became a viral hit. It’s not the funniest video in the world and I still can’t decide if it’s fake or not, but I laughed anyway. The reason: it’s in German. Yes, I’ve recently concluded that everything seems funnier when it’s in German (unless, …
