The Billiken's Bluff

YESSSS (and it counts).



This kid unearths a Nintendo 64 on Christmas morn



and goes ballistic as if he just won the lottery,



or as if he just lost the New Hampshire Democratic primary.



IdleAtWork linked to the original home video version of this a year ago. My girlfriend and I thought it was hilarious and have been referencing it and going back to watch it ever since.

Tonight she saw a holiday TV commercial that starts with this home video clip and then segues into a BMW ad:

Remember when dreams came true? They still can. Introducing the BMW Holiday Wish Event -the best time of year to buy the new 328i sedan.

This is encouraging to me. If I were pitching ideas for BMW commercials (or writing on a blog after work) I would probably link to this a video like this. It’s like someone from the neighborhood you grew up in “making good”.



Maybe.

And a random video from Harvard Medical that makes the inner machinations of a cell pretty theatrical.

This is a ribosome or a mitochondria or a golgi body doing some werk.



Cheers.
