Some.. Interesting FB groups..

The popular social-networking site, Facebook[FB], allows users to create and/or join "groups" and/or "fan pages".While some of these are obviously useless or just made out of some spite, many other notable ones help clothe facebook with its better features. Some very witty, or just fun to be around to.

During my usual FB scan, down the new and not improved News Feed, I saw that a friend had joined a group called "i feel my phone vibrate when it doesn't."
..I don't know guys, but we may just be going a little off the tangent of our sanities there..
Gotta admit, though. That does happen to me sometimes. Doesn't help when you're already paranoid enough about the HSC. >____>

... And then I began to lurk around to find more FB groups for you to enjoy.

From the category "Just for Fun":

• Dress Your Age You 12 Year Old Whore.
  -- .....HAH!
  
  
• I Picked a Major I Like, and One Day I Will Probably Be Living In a Box -- T_____T;; That's asserting, isn't it..
  
  
• Those Who Enjoy + Partake In the Distribution and Acquisition of High Fives -- A universal gesture.. hell, it works even if you can't speak the language of the country you're in! :D HIGHFIVE!
  
  
• The Official Rules For Calling ShotGun -- shotgunin iz srs bsns
  

• You're 8 Years Old, You DON'T Need a Cell Phone! ...or iPod...or MySpace -- Well, not really interesting, just proof that technology is advancing, and you can't do anything about it.

• I Have Trouble Dealing With The Fact That Edward Cullen Is *Fictional* -- Something for you to facepalm at. You know me. I love killing the inner children in you people. (:

• I bet I can find 200 000 people that hate Kevin Rudd! -- So tell me when anyone finds a person that can completely satisfy a group of 200,000 people under a criteria.

United by a common, the list of these FB groups continue to grow and somewhat entertain us.


....Ergh.. English.. nightmares... returning.. *brain implodes*

Call & Response

A musical term.

Very few might've heard of the tune "Mister Bach". I've only heard of it sung by my high school music teacher. Couldn't find it on YouTube, and it was hard to find on the internet.
It's a tune that goes like this.

A few minutes ago, my friend linked me to a YouTube video of a song called "Fifty in Five" by Hilltop Hoods:

And to the lyrics.

Only after reading the comments on the lyrics page, I learnt that it's like a response to the Tinkerbells Fairydust's "Twenty Ten":


I recognised "Mister Bach" appropriated in this song, and you can hear some phrases from "Twenty Ten" in "Fifity in Five".

It would've been great if I'd known more about "Mister Bach"... that would've been very awesome.

"Fifty in Five" recounts some fifty years of history, in five minutes.
"Twenty Ten" ponders about what the world would be like in the year 2010.

I love the existance of the two songs. It's artistic, it's witty, it's riveting and induces an outburst of thought, like a candlelight illuminating darkness.
