Torturing hobbits

This is either funny or appalling, depending on your sense of humour. It made me laugh. William Shatner, eat your heart out

And here I was thinking it'd be about Sin City.

I think I missed something though...(mainly the lyrics) but why was it disturbing? (I couldn't understand most of the lyrics in the verses).

Fenix, my hat's off to you. If that doesn't disturb you you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din. I didn't even need the sound up to get the creeps - did you see that jacket

Ok after re-watching it several times (it is the Spock video at the end of link right [just to be 100% sure]?), I've concluded maybe I wouldn't want to find one of those little souless children who were prancing around to be looking at me in a dark room, but...jacket?
Sorry, I get confused easily

...damn my 47 chromosomes.

And sorry, but who is Gunga Din?

You watched is several times?

You are brave! It must be your 47 chromosomes

I didn't mean anything serious - just amusing myself on Sunday morning

Sorry about the Gunga Din thing. It's just a kind of phrase a lot of people use. It comes from Rudyard Kipling's poem of the same name. You can read it here

Kipling's not a very poetic poet. He's sort of known as the best of the bad poets. But he does have a knack of making memorable phrases that fit a lot of situations and I happen to like him.

Well, I *did* brave the shower this morning without my floaties - of course the bike helmet stayed on, I'm no superman.

The poem is indeed a bit unusual, but hey, I'm no poet, what do I know, the only poem I think I've actually read was London by William Blake for school..

But back on topic - Would you happen to know when that cah-razy video was made? (Was it after the movies came out or book came out? It's so old skool, and I thought all actors from original Star Trek movies have passed on - seriously)

Sorry, no idea. I just stumbled across it and it made me laugh. But I don't think it's recent, somehow. He can't need money that much

I'm pretty sure it's fairly old. I've been hearing about the song at least for a good while, if not the video. I didn't even know there was a video.

I wish I still didn't know. Holy crap. Why were they throwing things around behind the hill? Why did they have those sticker-button-things? Why did all the girls have pointy ears, but not Spock?

Will the questions never end?! NO LENNY NO, DON'T DO IT!
