On Many Subjects

I still have a cold and I am curing it the "natural" way... that is waiting very impatiently until it goes away.

Because I have a headache and my throat hurts and my body hurts, I decided to cheer myself up with watching some video clips of Eddie Izzard, who is, far and away, my favorite comedian.

In this particular clip, he is learning to speak French from an audio tape and it is subtitled in Dutch. Being mono-liguistic, I can watch this video and feel dumb in two languages.

The clip is 46 minutes long, so sit back and get comfy before viewing... make a coffee, get some biscuits and jam ready and turn on the video feed. That last bit was for the Europeans who read this blog. In America, we say, "Make some coffee," and "Grab some cookies and jelly."

Now, that we all understand each other, happy viewing.

Oh, a note to all of you. Eddie Izzard may be a bit offensive to some because of his use of some of the more more colorful metaphors, so get your children, small dogs and grandmothers out of the room before clicking the link.
