Keeping up a blog is hard work once you leave college and have Real Life to deal with. Yeah. Same lame excuse as everybody else. When I finally have a spare moment to relax, I’d rather go on YouTube and watch episodes of QI than anything.
Oh, you haven’t heard of QI? Well, maybe I do have a topic to blog about for a minute! (I have mentioned it before, but what else am I to do on a Saturday night?) QI is a panel trivia show in Britain, (it stands for Quite Interesting) hosted by the wonderful Stephen Fry (Dr. Gordon Gordon Wyatt on Fox’s Bones to you kids who aren’t much anglophiles). Each season is a letter of the alphabet, and each episode is a take off from that letter. On one hand it’s a show to learn weird pieces of trivia, and on the other it’s just fine to listen to British comedians pretend they know something, and digress from there. You get some real gems floating around on YouTube, even if you don’t immediately recognize the comedians. For example:
The panel discusses British accents in Hollywood, and Alan Rickman.
How to defend yourself against an alligator.
A great story from Stephen about Dracula and Van Helsing.
Now you know why we say “hello” when we answer the phone.
And my personal favorite, the Moonwalking Bird!
I totally blame Taylor for this, as I do most things I enjoy. This is why we are friends, because we can share a love for bizarre things like British quiz shows. I mean, really. I dare you not to get hooked!
By not riding the bus anymore I’ve found I have less time to things done. I’ll work on that for you. Until next time… ever wanted to know what the Queen has in her handbag?
