Alone in the forest in the middle of the day, are you scared?

Sun. 3/23/08 9:28pm From: bethany

Thanks, Willy -

Human beats computer! Can you tell me what the babelfish translator was thinking??? Maybe I spelled something wrong, but it was translating "La Foret" as "drill"...and even I knew that one!

PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN THE AUDIO SCAVENGER HUNT!

This week: EASTER EGG HUNT

What, you say?? I'm asking you, kind listener, to send me some audio that you relate to as easter egg hunt-related. Be creative. How about the sound of Peeps in the mircowave? Eggs in a skillet? Kids fighting over candy?

Scavenge online - send LINKS or SMALL MP3s to audiohunter@gmail.com or use YOUSENDIT.COM to upload other files.

I'll do a mix of everyone's contributions at the end of the show tonight.
Questions? Send an email to audiohunter@gmail.com

HAPPY AUDIO EASTER!

I just learned something new.
le foret = drill
la foêt = forest.
Don't forget the chapeau chinois (chinese hat) aka accent circonflexe.

To a computer, a drill is what a tree is to a human. You know, they sustain life, are beautiful, natural and all that. So the mistake was quite a simple one, actually.

Sun. 3/23/08 9:35pm From: bethany

Ah...and yes...our playlist system doesn't like those little hats, etither. But they are natural and beautiful just like trees and drills. (!)

(oh, and i'd consider that my easter egg entry just because it's almost a fabergé egg in its complexity, but i can't take credit for finding it.)

Sun. 3/23/08 10:01pm From: bethany

Hi Jackie - The weekend wasn't much different than any other - I contemplated seeing Drillbit Taylor, but will wait for a matinee. Was so happy to have Cadbury Creme Eggs. They're so good, but once a year is all I can handle!

This is kind of off topic, but you should check out the (British) cadbury creme egg commercials; there's this whole slightly perverse masochistic thing going on with them.

What was your username on Myspace again?

Sun. 3/23/08 10:31pm From: Tom (The Bactrian Support Network) (in Brooklyn)

....... but in a few Weeks I think at my Aunt's place is gonna be "Find The Motzah!!!!"" or was that during Chanukah I Forget now ..

Sun. 3/23/08 10:41pm From: jonathan

Between the bunnies eye sliding off in the heater one, and it's head snapping back in the hairdryer one; that video's set to terrorize children's dreams.

Sun. 3/23/08 10:48pm From: dave

it gets better(?). there's a remix of that video with a death metal soundtrack:

jesus fucking hrist was that last track LONG AND ANNOYING...

Sun. 3/23/08 10:53pm From: bethany

Sorry, Ross - I think you'll hate the next one even more...

Sun. 3/23/08 10:54pm From: chunky monkey

jesus f. hrist is the reason for the season!

Sun. 3/23/08 10:57pm From: Droll

To hell with oss -- you can play 'em both again at 16 rpm.

Sun. 3/23/08 10:57pm From: dave

little-known fact: jesus f. hrist was damien hirst's nom de plume during his brief period as an author of trashy romance novels.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:00pm From: Jonathan

This is great 'staring at wall' music; thats a good thing though (it's not an attempt at mediocre sarcasm).

Sun. 3/23/08 11:03pm From: ross

lighten up weirdos, i didn't like one fucking song...i'm digging this one...

Sun. 3/23/08 11:09pm From: bethany

Ok ok okokok...I think we're all in this together. I didn't mean to get everyone fired up. Plus - you should all be doing your homework!!

Sun. 3/23/08 11:11pm From: ross

Hi Bethany,

I'm from Toronto and I listen to your job while doing day job-type stuff. So, long story (sorta) short, Easter means, among other things, getting a dutch licorice fix. So here's a link to Licorice Pizza where they have the John Lennon and Paul McCartney getting together in 1974 for A Toot and a Snore.

http://apt104.com/toot/01 John Lennon - Paul McCartney - A Toot And A Snore.mp3

If the link doesn't work, here's the site:

Love your show!

sheep!

Sun. 3/23/08 11:30pm From: ross

regardless of my horrible comments, i'm going to listen to your show every week from now on...i wish i had my sheepy tune available....

FANK YOU EASHTER BUNNY

Sun. 3/23/08 11:37pm From: dave

... bawk bawk.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:39pm From: Ike

Ahhh, the crass exploitation of children's mispronounciations for candy-selling purposes! Heh.

Hey, you played mine twice. Hee hee.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:40pm From: steven

une chanson ecologiste pour les bambins signee chantal goya. Ca faisait longtemps. Merci Bethany

Sun. 3/23/08 11:44pm From: ranjit

apparently all the world DOES love M&Ms

Sun. 3/23/08 11:45pm From: steven

t'wasn't any candy-selling pusposes Ike, but a kind of vegetarian stuff in a way ("this morning a rabbit has killed a hunter, it was a rabbit who got a shotgun").

Sun. 3/23/08 11:50pm From: Ike

Really?!? I could've sworn the "fank you Eashter Bunny" came from a candy or chocolate commercial, but my memory sucks.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:51pm From: ross

thank you..seriously...

Sun. 3/23/08 11:53pm From: pete

This makes me want to go out and buy some half-price candy tomorrow.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:56pm From: stven

But why not a chocolate commercial, actually. And the rabbit is seasonnal i guess, if in chocolate. scaring stuff when ment for children, anyway.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:56pm From: Droll

It took me a second, but the "Fank you Eashter Bunny" commercial came back to me when I heard it. I nearly choked on a mouthful of refreshing beverage laughing. I'm sad to say the Bawk Bawk message has stuck after all these years. Advertising works in mysterious and powerful ways.

Sun. 3/23/08 11:59pm From: steven

So we could say it rings some chocolate bells then

Sun. 3/23/08 11:59pm From: Ike

Glad you liked my 10-second contribution! It came out a lot better than I thought it would.

Mon. 3/24/08 12:20am From: humanvise

this is david bowie I saw a dvd of him doing this song on the dick cavit show
