Smorgasbord Monday

Is it still Monday? Yes! Well then, the time has come the walrus said for a weekly helping of internet delights!


First off, breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day and apparently also the one with the most slow-mo. This video is totally haunting and will leave you shouting, "3 second rule!" Watch and see.

Ever take a color personality quiz? Hop on over to http://www.colorquiz.com/ 

Apparently, a lot can be learned by the colors you are drawn to. Take this quiz and find out if the results are accurate for you. Turns out, I long to be more spontaneous and impulsive. So, that's why I ate that Worther's Original I found in the bottom of my purse today. Clearly, I was craving spontaneity and the taste of pennies.

Speaking of insanity: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Directed in 1963, by none other than Stanley Kramer (director of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Inherit the Wind, and Judgement at Nuremberg). This guy knew how to direct an ensemble and what an ensemble this film has. It is a who's-who cast of comedy legends (Ethel Merman, Buddy Hacket, Spencer Tracey, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar...the list goes on). Basically, when they were shooting the film, actors kept on showing up on set and asking if they could play too (Jack Benny what are you doing here?) 


I was six when I first saw this film. I had just had my tonsils removed and was recuperating on my living room sofa. I watched this next scene and laughed till it literally hurt. My mom came in when she heard the gurgling sounds of painful mirth. I don't regret a moment of it and so what if I'm now an unfortunate mute (just kidding...never make fun of mutes). In this scene, Phil Silvers character has convinced these two gas station attendants that Jonathan Winters is an escaped mental patient. They are trying to capture Winters. Actually, Winters is playing a sweet tempered truck driver pushed to his limits in a cross-country treasure hunt. Your basic, simple plot. Watch. Enjoy. Have a great week and try not to throw anyone through a wall :)
