Kids in the Hall was awesome. I crush your head. I crush it! crush crush crush crush…

I’ve put video on here before. It’s been awhile, but this ain’t the first time, nor the last…

This may very well be the first time I have seen video of any kind embedded on darcynorman.net. Also, this is the first time I have heard you guys mention Kids in the Hall (which is one of my favorites -Dear Mr Echo, should I write that twice.) Wasn’t Strangers with Candy a Canadian production as well -Steven Colbert before he became a political flunky.

@keira: that’s probably some of the worst editing I’ve ever done, which is why it works so well for that clip I’m sure we could mine SCTV, and Kids in the Hall, to produce all kinds of fun quasi-educational content. Wonder if they’ll think about a creative commons license?

You’re an editing genius! I have a feeling you two could mine SCTV for a looooooooong time to the benefit of all ed tech folk.

@niran: I’m pretty sure the undergrads are about 12 years old now. I know I didn’t look that young when I was an undergrad…

@michael: Apoohcalypse Now was a high point for me, too. The ending, with Pooh “waterskiing” down the river… the two movies mix surprisingly well. I was a bit disappointed that more people didn’t stare hard enough for the LSD hallucination to kick in. Oh, well… It’s a good trip anyways. It was great to finally meet you in person, too!

Certainly the hallucinations were the high point - altho I was surreally stimulated by Poo - head in honey pot -drifting down the water as Apocalypse Now soundtrack played in the background. It may have been the acid flashbacks but I was sure both Brian and D’arcy were so loose they seem to have melted into the floor before the bad craziness of the flashback kicked in. Those beers afterwards in the University faculty Club, as we cursed the shortsighted nature of university adminstrators, had a nice calming effect to help take the edge off the futile pursuit of ed tech adoption.

Nothing like a good University Pub…When did the people start looking so young ? Would love to see you if you’re in town. As for WEM, the only good thing about it is that it is 5 minutes away from Westworld.

I’m SURE Deadmonchuck has better than that abomination. WEM is the tackiest place on earth, by design. I refuse to believe that there isn’t a decent pub in the city. We wound up in one near U of A campus that, although being an instant-Irish-Pub (just add water), was much better than “Bourbon Street”

It’s too bad we were in and out of ‘Chuck so fast - I’d have love to have some time to hang out with the Sabanathans! Maybe next time I’m up… There’s a chance I might get to head back up to the City of Ex Champions for another conference in October…
