1. My god I love that video. Don't you wish you could ask him about making it?

That aerial work is just great.

Hope all this Natalie Wood business isn't messing with his head.

Oh, and Fatboy Slim rocks, too.

2. One of my all time favorites; just sent it to a friend who had NEVER seen it

Love to see a man dance well! :D

3. Spike Jonze has directed some of my all time favorite music videos

the guy is a genius

Other favorites of mine done by Jonze include "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ULVQOneeZE (that's Jonze in the striped polo shirt oh and at 5:28 you see the actual Fatboy Slim in the background) and "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE

4. I clicked this thread so that I could say that I prefer my Viking Sword.

It has a damascus blade and I keep it by my bed (along with several others). It was a gift from my parents.

My second favorite is an light battle axe with a spike point on the back. That one is by the door.







What about you?

8. I have a great-maul I made myself out of a 7" round from a felled ash in my backyard.

It's in storage now...but oh how I'd have loved to have a burglar back when I kept it in the bedroom closet.

What could be scarier than a NFL-linebacker-sized man chasing you naked through his home swinging for your head with a giant wooden sledge one-handed.

10. I had to chase several of my students with a giant sledge once

Used to TA a field methods course and they put together a giant wooden square (to hold water so that they could monitor the water going into the soil). Anyway, they put the thing together WRONG and I was the one that had to go out there in the summer heat and break it down by myself. I had busted knuckles from trying to get the damed bolts off since they put them in back-ASS-wards. I drove back to campus where they were doing their write ups and lab analysis. A lot of people in the building learned the horror of my dark side that day.

This is me on a good day: (6'1/2" ~220 lbs. I don't have a good pic of me so the drawing will do)












(If I had to chase a burglar, they would get lucky - I sleep in my boxers)

5. I can never get enough of that vid!

6. For another awesome example of Christopher Walken's dancing, try Pennies from Heaven:

He really kicks it into gear around 2:45 in this clip. Really it's a shame the man got typecast as a creepy psycho after "The Deer Hunter", even though he plays that well, he's such a great dancer it's a shame we haven't seen too much of that in his films. I'm guessing he must have had an extensive background in song and dance or musical theater prior to becoming famous.

Once a woman is introduced to Col. Angus, they'll settle for nothing less!
