ninja cat, the youtube video storming the web, is fast-approaching 10,000 comments, one of which was recently posted by a user who claimed their cat is also a ninja, and this behavior is somehow … normal.
I don’t know about you, but this shit ain’t normal, it’s hilarious!

the video:
Another Deadwood reference that.
In this scene Calamity Jane, as played by Robin Weigert, reminds the commissioner who is a representative of the interests of Yankton of his human worth! Granted Jane is keen on the verbal smiting, and a particularly adept word-slinger when inebriated, but she’s especially fond of the commissioner in those regards - she can’t so much look at him without insulating him one way or another! And that he thinks he can rent the coat of Wild Bill Hickok, which Jane very much treasures (it being Wild Bill’s last-surviving possession), she let’s the commissioner know:
He might be proclaiming to be something that he’s not - for a laugh - but comedian John Lajoie’s YouTube video is a hit regardless (nearly 4 million views already), and he does a pretty good job of hitting the normal guy lifestyle nail on the head: has average parents, takes public transport, makes good pasta sauce, and possibly his most articulate rhyme:
(last time I had sex was in 2003, and I’m ashamed to it admit, but it wasn’t free)
Futurama: The Beast With a Billion Backs is the second movie installment of the Futurama series since Fox canceled production of the television show back in 2003. In Billion Backs the world is overran by an asexual tentacled creature that promotes “love” by spinal tapping the back-neck of its victims with its suction cupped appendages, and subjecting them to praise the tentacle. However Leela will have none of it, as she’s saving her neck “for a rich, handsome Dracula”.
In this scene Leela and Amy Wong narrowly escape an ambush by the tentacle-controlled Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. Following one of the greatest pieces of animation in this movie - being chased down a canyon of future buildings in New New York City by Professor Wornstrom - Leela and Amy hide out in an alley, and after glancing at how much of life is controlled by the tentacles, including traffic cops, bus riders, fire hydrants and lizard walkers, Leela remarks on their status as perhaps the world’s only remaining normal people:
a cyclops born to subterranean-living mutant parents, and the lone child daughter of billionaire parents who own most of the real estate on Mars… yup, normal people!
from HBO’s Deadwood, season 1 episode 6. In this scene Al Swearengen bursts in on a whore that has recently been in the company of a man who couldn’t “get it up” (Swearengen’s words), who paid a dollar for her to kill time in his company so as not to arouse any suspicion to his sickness. His sickness is an epidemic of smallpox whose outbreak in the camp is imminent.
The whore, who lost her mother to the “fucking plague” (also Swearengen’s) coming out West, after which her father gave her up and left her to her own devices, fears she herself may be dying. She’s in a panic. Thankfully Al’s logic is stoic, as he interprets her sad sad story to mean she cannot become contagious again. and grants her to “stick to handjobs for a day or two” instead of french fucking or normal:
OBJECTION! Objection to use of the word “normal”!
Not my words. Rather the concern of the prosecutor in this scene from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, season 2 episode 5, during the pre-trial of Leo Johnson who is currently in a vegetative state, which the defense is arguing makes him unfit to be tried, lacking what they call “normal brain activity”.
Normal is a movie featuring the foxy Carrie-Anne Moss of Matrix acclaim. (whoops! this image is probably more appropriate!)
As such, I will def give this movie a watch, and love a good drama. the plot reads:
NORMAL explores the lives of three strangers who are struggling for control, having failed to confront their roles in a tragic accident two years earlier. Catherine is a well-to-do suburban mother who has lost the ability to connect on any level with her surgeon husband and twelve-year-old son after the loss of her elder son. Walt is a failed writer and philandering university professor who deals with impending middle age and haunting memories by sabotaging every relationship around him. Jordie is a sensitive teenager who made a wrong choice one night and although he’s paid the price, still can’t halt his journey downward.
Nearly forgot about this one. This was actually one of the inspirations for establishing this blog. I remember at the time being one of the first few thousand viewers of this video, and it was the video just before Chris Crocker’s imminent success.
(normal is like calling me a cunt)
