I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this, I just *had* to share it. :)

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, best song ever!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? :)

Hmmm, I see the sign for shoggoth is the same as 'pig' or 'dirty' :D. That is one talented interpreter. I didn't even know there was a sign for zombie. That was awesome!

Have you seen Adam Hills' stand-up act? He performs with an interpreter and often tortures her in the same way. It's AUSLAN (Australian sign-language), but it's still incredibly fun to watch and he's hilarious and his comedy is really, really happy. His DVD has been loaded up on youtube. The first part is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtW-RtMJkwY). If you do watch it, it turns from 'characterful' to 'joymonger' halfway through, as the second act has a different name. And he does swear a lot, if you're in mixed company.

I think she was coming up with some of the signs as he sang them, although as this was a Con there *might* be a sign for Dalek and Cylon and Chuthulu in a crowd like that.

Thanks for the link! I shall have to check it out on a day my kids aren't home.

THIS MAY BE THE GEEKIEST AND MOST AWESOME THING EVER. My sides hurt from laughing. The Cthulu sign! And the Cylon!!!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

YES! Just a million kinds of awesome, isn't it? I was hoping it'd get a laugh from people!

So much FUN! *VBG*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! (although what on EARTH you are doing up now, I've no idea. Hope all's okay!)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

All is okay. I'm.... just having a really weird few nights NOT sleeping very well (this will be the 3rd in a row). Tonight, however, I am actually going to go to bed. Any second now.

I am just the type of person to have a bunch of friends who will enjoy this more than is likely appropriate!

(The next big BWAHAHAHA you hear will be from the direction of Saskatoon!)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yay for friends who will get all the references! Personally, I have watched it probably an unhealthy number of times myself :)

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

I'm saving this one for medicinal purposes!
It is guaranteed to make me smile!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Definitely favorite it over on youtube. It's just too hysterical *goes and watches again*

Crossposted to Facebook to reach maximum number of geeky friends. How did I miss this earlier?!

...ugh, I'm supposed to be writing angst right now. I'd better go hit repeat on my inspiration-song, I'm FAR too amused for my own good.

[noirrosaleen.livejournal.com]

Also: I'm terribly proud that I know EVERY REFERENCE in that song.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

No, angst and Shoggoth song do not mix. Glad to have introduced it to you though, hope your friends approve!
