The "I Like" Tag

[txvoltaire]

The Wayne Newton song "One More Memory" was the b-side of "Red Roses For A Blue Lady". It was in a huge stack of 45's and 33's that I inherited from my parents and older siblings and which were played until they were too scratchy to play any more. Unfortunately none of us thought to keep the original 1960's presses of the Beatle albums pristine until we could sell them for boatloads of cash (in the late 70's I bought new presses of these albums)

[txvoltaire]

For some reason, the reading from Augustine reminded me of an old Wayne Newton song "One More Memory". It was almost as if he and his "friend" had just split up!

[ProfMTH]

@txvoltaire Yes, clearly it was a very deep and meaningful friendship. His words about it always make me think of my dearest friends and how sick I'd be were I to lose them to death.

I'm not familiar with the Wayne Newton song.

[Pilotwing64]

You must be pretty tall. You are almost eye-to-eye with Fabio.

[ProfMTH]

@Pilotwing64 I'm 6 ft. 2 in.

[averagebear1]

I like....watching my old cartoons on Youtube like Yogi Bear, the Ant and Aardvark, and the Jetsons with my kids standing over my shoulder laughing.

[aineolach]

I loooooooooooove Bollywood dancing!

[ProfMTH]

It's a lot of fun to watch.

[holysinecure]

Wow, I can't believe I missed this one Prof, great "I Like" video!

[ProfMTH]

Thanks!

[myjizzureye]

My lord, thats fruity

[Uraharasensei]

Oh you have to be tagged to do an "I like" video... :( buuuh, nobody has tagged me.

[ProfMTH]

Consider yourself tagged by me, Uraharasensei. ;-)

[sethg81]

I love spontaneous street dancing! We don't have it here in Canada... I always wondered why Americans carried flags and balloons around everywhere and now i know!

[ProfMTH]

lol

[MichaelSJLH]

God, I miss John Lennon.

[Tsukae]

I Never knew you had a man! I'm so jealous! ;D

[ProfMTH]

We've been together for 13 and a half years. Oofa! How time flies. ;-)

[Tsukae]

That's so sweet. I wish I could find someone. It's really hard though. I'm very happy for you. It's nice to see someone who loves and is loved. :)

[ProfMTH]

Thanks very much. I was very lucky to meet him and, of course, I continue to be very lucky to have him. Without him, my life would be unspeakably diminished. Besides, I was starting to *hate* the whole dating scene when I met him. So the right one came along at just the right time.

I know what you mean about it being hard to meet someone. There are loads of duds to sort through before one gets to the few good ones. I hope you find someone soon. :-)

[Tsukae]

Thank you very much. I will do my best to find my special someone whether they are a guy or a girl.! :)

[Creationsofmyown]

there have been more than a few hints up until now... but until i had seen this video i had not realized you were gay.

not that that changes a thing about my opinion of you. ( not that u should care for my opinion)

what i guess im trying to say is, good for you. im glad you met someone who completes you. cheers mate

great vid (as always) and great taste!

keep em coming.

[Uraharasensei]

WOW 13 and a half years together? I can only wish to have that time with my girlfriend... we're, since this year, almost half way trought that...

Cool video, I wanna do an "I Like" video too, to be watched... :D

[mjr256]

LOL. When I first clicked on this video, I thought it was going to be challenging the Transcendental Argument for God.

Yeah, Ben Stein sucks. But Ferris Bueller is a classic! My brother actually bought me a t-shirt that says "Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago."

[ProfMTH]

"My brother actually bout me a t-shirt that says 'Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago.'"

LOL. That's great! I have to see if I can find one of those.

You're not the first who expected a video about the transcendental argument. Sorry for the disappointment. :-)

[Godlesscod]

Ignoring that TAG is uppercase and not lowercase (Tag) - I thought the same... LOL

Oh well. If the gay bashing Christians make the same mistake, I guess they'll get a pleasant surprise...LOL

[ProfMTH]

;-)

[LogicIsDying]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The only thing with Ben Stein's name on it that is actually any good.

[ProfMTH]

I liked "Win Ben Stein's Money." But beyond that, you're right.

[etoposide]

yarrr! i'm sorry but nothing gets under my skin more than Ferris Bueller's Day Off - that finale would make me say "i like a swift chop to my windpipe."

[325982668]

this is the only one of these videos i've really enjoyed watching

[ProfMTH]

"this is the only one of these videos i've really enjoyed watching"

Well, thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[325982668]

. . . of the "I like tag" videos that is, all your other stuff is really great as well.

[sthebg20]

"I like Ferris Beuller's Day Off"

Question:

Who DOESN'T like that movie? :P

[ProfMTH]

Scroll up. You'll see a few naysayers. ;-)

[spaderace5]

Didn't know you were such a romatic Prof!

I'd have called my b/f and asked about the bomb-list!

Personaly I'm a fan of turkish wines at the moment.

[ProfMTH]

Turkish wines, eh? Now there's something I haven't tried. Any recommendations?

[theatheistguy]

I like this video

[ProfMTH]

:-) Thanks.

[HecticSkeptic]

Nice vid Prof. Good wine selection too.

If I may, I would recommend the following:

-Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Syrah

-D'Arenberg Laughing Magpie Syran/Viognier

-Los Rocas Granacha

Thanks, HS

[ProfMTH]

Thanks. I'll check those out.

[rackerslacker]

if Ferris Bueler's took a Day Off from school, how was there a parade, when do they have parades on school days?

[ProfMTH]

Saint Patrick's Day.

[noproofforjesus]

sorry profMTH spelled your name wrong lol...

[ProfMTH]

No problem.

[AbdultheImpailler]

I like....your video :-)

[ProfMTH]

Thanks, Abdul.

[Ruby1978]

Not your best work

[ProfMTH]

Well, Ruby, one can't please everyone all the time.

[Ruby1978]

Well...I throw you compliments all the time, gotta keep you focused!! : )

[noproofforjesus]

promith your great....

[ProfMTH]

Thanks. :-)

[QualiaSoup]

I predict a spike in your video 'Insight' starting around the 1 min 12 mark. Don't ask my why. I just sense it....

Extraordinary, moving words from Augustine. I've never heard that feeling better expressed.

Thanks for the tag, my friend. Your apology is accepted(!) ;^>

[ProfMTH]

LOL! I checked for the predicted spike, but it's too early for such data (or some such YouTube excuse).

You're welcome for the tag. And thanks for accepting the apology, my friend.

By the way, really, how *is* it that you're only the 55th most subscribed director of all time from the UK? No doubt there has been a horrible counting error. I suggest you take it up with the bean counters at YouTube immediately. You're at least 51st. I'm sure of it! ;-)

[QualiaSoup]

"By the way, really, how *is* it that you're only the 55th most subscribed director of all time from the UK?"

You're very kind, Prof. I'd been wondering how to celebrate being on the most subscribed list (at all), but having just seen your newest video about the late Oscar Mayer I feel inspired. How could any celebration be complete without enjoying a good ol' 'bum-length wiener'? ;^>

[ProfMTH]

Indeed, Qualia, indeed. It's the essential celebration tool -- you should pardon the term. ;-)

[dookdawg214]

My favorite part of Ferris Bueler's Day Off is when Ben Stein is saying 'Anybody, anybody?' and then suddenly a terrorist storms into the classroom and blows his head off and then blood starts squirting everywhere. Oh wait, that didn't happen in the movie. Damn!

[loveisallneed]

Your picture with Fabio - your wrist looks limp. LOL.

Sorry, couldn't resist, your still DA MAN. :)

[ProfMTH]

"your wrist looks limp"

Whatever did you expect? ;-) Seriously, it's certainly not the most vigorous handshake I've ever given. And I was a bit drunk. lol

[ProfMTH]

Many thanks.

[orientedx4]

I like this "I like" video. :)

[ProfMTH]

:-) Thanks.

[LasraelLarson]

Tried to find that dancing marine last night using search parameters, "hot guy dances & sings in shower."

Needless to say, went down the wrong rabbit hole & had to stop before Alice went blind & morphed hairy palms...

I peek back today & there is a link!!!

I might need a dose of that shopping list...

& on that note, I'll bring this too much information response to a close. ;P

Cheers Mitch.

[ProfMTH]

LOL! I meant to put a link yesterday, but I forgot. In any case, I trust Alice is safe, if a bit roughed up. ;-)

[LaughingManRa]

I love Bollywood dance numbers too! What movie was that one taken from? Also, have you seen this one:

/watch?v=zMUi9Oe2TyQ

:-)

[ProfMTH]

I hadn't seen that one. Too funny. When I first started paying attention to these movies -- an Indian classmate in college introduced me -- I hypothesized that the dance numbers took the place of explicit portrayals of intimacy. But that doesn't seem to be true. The thing I love is that they just pop up in the films. Perhaps if I understood what everyone was saying, it would make sense -- though I'm not sure I want it to. ;-) The video I had the clip of is called "Say Na Say Na...

[ProfMTH]

...Bluffmaster." I'm not sure if that's the title of the movie or just of the song.

[N21X]

I like!

[ProfMTH]

:-)

[stangbanger903]

I like when gay men say "fabulous". It is hilarious. LOL! Another great vid prof. BTW, I am straight and I can admit that that marine is a hot boy. :0

[ProfMTH]

Thanks, Stangbanger.  Glad you enjoyed. And high-five on the dancing Marine. lol

[Anesthesique]

Cute video, Professor!

[ProfMTH]

Well, thanks, Anesthesique.

[quebec10000]

profmth. I really enjoy this first thing in the morning, I will boomark forever, Thank you Prof.

[ProfMTH]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[Onodera1980]

I can't believe you took a photo with Fabio... It's cool, but yet not, you know?

Yin/Yang I suppose.

What is cool is that you're man enough to show it to, not just people, but the Internet!

[ProfMTH]

It's one of my favorite things. A real conversation starter, as I said. Thanks.

[SebastianDino]

Amen! (oops, but you get what I mean).

[ProfMTH]

lol

[grahamers]

-1 for liking that part of FBDO. :-)

[ProfMTH]

I'll take it.

[AndTheChoirSang]

The dancing guy is darn hotttttttttt!

[ProfMTH]

Yes, he is.

[Sandolainen]

I get it all, but why Keanu Reeves? Just... why?

By the way, the guy dancing in the bathroom seems to have so much fun. Now I've got to go do it too...

[ProfMTH]

lol

[932016]

Wow... daughtry actually made the song good.... Thx 4 that prof

[ProfMTH]

You're welcome.

[Bobbiethejean]

You have got to be the sappiest romantic on youtube. : D And it's awesome. You've got so much character.

[ProfMTH]

lol Thanks so much, Bobbiethejean.

[threewiseman1]

Loved it, Prof! I just bought the special edition of Ferris Bueller. My high school sweetheart introduced me to it a few years ago.

[ProfMTH]

It's such a fun movie.

Thanks, Threewiseman1.

[TheraminTrees]

I like this video! Although you communicate a lot about yourself in your other work, it's great to see more of you in this one. I was told Fabio insists on having an industrial fan on standby off-camera to whip up and show off his tresses — can you confirm or deny? ;8)

[ProfMTH]

LOL. There was no fan ... that I saw. Then again, I was a bit tipsy and may have missed it. ;-)

Thanks, Theramin. I owe you a response on the other thing. I got behind on my messages. I'll get on that today.

[AuntieDiluvian]

Fabio's cleavage - gah! I loved the guy dancing - beefsteak anyone? Re Bollywood - 'Dil' means 'heart' and you hear a lot of that in the songs. And 'pyar' means love- that crops up a lot too. And 'meri' means my. So Meri pyar' is often heard. I love your voice - it's like honey being drizzled peaches. Or something. Great vid.

[ProfMTH]

"Fabio's cleavage - gah!"

LOL. Before the picture was snapped I had, as the caption on the paper frame suggests, a moment to chat with him. (I thought he didn't speak English, but it turns out he spoke it perfectly. So my talking to him as if he were ignorant of the language must have seemed insulting.) We were in a mall and the place was *swarming* with women who'd come to meet and get a picture with him. I looked him over and was like, "I just don't get it." To each her own. ;-)

[ProfMTH]

"I like your voice - it's like honey being drizzled on peaches. Or something."

Wow. Well, thanks a lot.

[Neeboopsh]

So many things about this video are fabulous. Keep up the good work, and stay super.

[ProfMTH]

"So many things about this video are fabulous."

Thanks very much, Neeboopsh.

[angryislander56]

OK the sexy thing video INSTANTLY made me feel

good!

I take your tag sir!

The response will not be this well edited and may

include adult language:)

[ProfMTH]

"OK the sexy thing video INSTANTLY made me feel good!"

It's just that kind of video. ;-)

"The response ... may include adult language."

Well, I should hope so. Why do you think I tagged you, dahling? ;-)

You're the best.

[Domzdream]

BY the way, nice vid.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks.

[Domzdream]

Ferris Beuler's day off was brill.

[ProfMTH]

Indeed.

[thisis3d]

i like my hookah

[godlessmessiah]

"wine makes mary......hot"

ha ha, that was the real verse in the codex.

[ProfMTH]

lol

[juliecranford]

I like that video of that guy dancing, too.

[torresut]

Mmm, pretty gay!

[ProfMTH]

He's fun, right, Julie? ;-)

[0platypus0venom0]

I was so disappointed to find no link to the "Sexy Thing" video. :(

[ProfMTH]

Oh, I'll have to post that.  Sorry.

[Titania1]

Any movie where people spontaneously break out in song and dance does it for me. Great Video :-)

[ProfMTH]

lol  Thanks.

[ricardas83]

I don't know you well, so for a half of video I was confused WTF is this GUYS about :D. Didn't knew you're gay.

Anyway, good video. Super!

[ProfMTH]

Thanks a lot, Ricardas.

[ctastrophe]

Which one is Fabio?  I can't tell the difference.

[ProfMTH]

"Which one is Fabio?  I can't tell the difference."

LOL!!

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

OK, I have to say it: WAY too much half naked guy dancing.

[ProfMTH]

There is no such thing, Bamboo4tameshigiri. In any case, I think that clip was only like 15 seconds long. lol

[unclexbob]

I bet you liked the original blues brothers.... XD

[ProfMTH]

It was OK.

[unclexbob]

prof, between this video and you last video, you are completing the transition from the neutral, professional commentator you started out being, to showing what kind of person you really are. Its like watching a flower come to full bloom.

Keep doing what you do.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks a lot, Unclexbob.

[penvsword]

I saw it on tv and they dubbed out the rude parts........"cameron is so uptight ....if you put a lump of coal in his(badly dubbed) FIST ...in six...."

also try the old black and white pre bollywood films...less camp but wow

[ProfMTH]

I've seen a couple of the old black and white ones. They did seem less campy, but it's remarkable how those films have remained *so* similar over time. It's one of the things that fascinates me about them.

[shamelessbookworm]

Your last two vids have made me laugh and smile like crazy. It's nice to know that someone as clever as you can still be a little dorky. :)

[ProfMTH]

LOL! Well, thanks. I'd say more than just a little. ;-)

[dalinean]

great st. augustine quotes.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks.

[ErikWithBrain]

Prof, you're fucking cool. What an amazing video!

[ProfMTH]

"Prof, you're fucking cool. What an amazing video!"

Well, thank you very much indeed, ErikWithBrain.

[pirbird14]

Augustine should have read his bible more.

Prov. 31:6 Give strong DRINK to the perishing, And wine to the bitter in soul,

31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

EC 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money ANSWERETH ALL things.

[MistertheSpike]

Great video, comme d'habitude. I so wish that scene from FBDO inspired me like it does you-I actually preferred the Danke Schoën scene, for no particular reason. Oh, and what do you have against Fabio?

[ProfMTH]

"Great video, comme d'habitude."

Merci beaucoup.

I like the "Danke Schoen" scene, too.

I have nothing against Fabio. lol

[schrodcat]

It's usually expensive, starting from hardly less than $35, but Barolo from Piedmont (Italy) is just Some Wine. Many like Barbaresco too, on average just $5 less than Barolo, but to me no chance. Back up plans for less bucks ($12-$20 range) might include the likes of Dolcetto d'Alba (some prefer Barbera d'Alba). The Chianti that comes in a straw flask I think is good value for money.

[ProfMTH]

I just asked my partner whether we'd ever tried Barolo. He says we did when we were in Italy a few years ago, but I don't specifically recall it myself.

I love Chianti with Italian food.

[g0at]

Awe, the Fabio photo alone is calling me to make the response.. HAHA

[ProfMTH]

lol Well, I hope you do.

[ByrdieFae]

The quote from Augustine about his friend's death made me cry. I think I'll check that out...

[ProfMTH]

It won me over to the book the first time I read it. So touching and raw. It really is the only work in which he seems human.

[Zombiefisting]

I like your "links" pointing pictures.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks.

[mtsac1]

Keanu Reeves? Oh Prof, say it aint so!

[ProfMTH]

It's so.

[Brandt761]

I hate Dance scenes. Especially the ones that are supposed to be cool...they ruin potentially good music.

[photekxl]

Great picture with Fabio haha. Was that before he took the seagull to the face?

[ProfMTH]

I believe it was before the seagull-to-the-face incident, yes. That happened on a rollercoaster, didn't it? lol

[shubidubar]

FABIO! loloolololl

[ProfMTH]

lol

[Quipert]

This video is fantastic. It allows the viewer to ponder the simple things that bring immense pleasure and joy to their own lives.

[ProfMTH]

That was my intent, Quipert. I'm glad someone got it. Thanks very much.

[crabbybastard1]

More "Gayory" Prof?

Great video, thanks for the smile.

[ProfMTH]

Yes, more "gayory" indeed. lol  Thanks.

[boobmcnutt]

If I didn't know better i'd think you were trying to win a contest at it. But yeah, nice video.

[vulpix]

You seem to like all the things I hate. I was so repulsed by Ferris Bueller's Day Off that I couldn't sit through the whole thing, which is very rare for a film fan like me.

I also didn't particularly like Chris Daughtry in his season. I found his sheep bravado very distracting, so I was pleased, not surprised, when he was eliminated earlier than many expected. I preferred the purer sounding voice of Elliott Yamin.

But to each his own. I like a lot of stuff, too. :)

[ProfMTH]

To each his own indeed. :-)

[buzzausa]

Prof, if you have the chance try a bottle (or two) of Valpolicella or Bardolino. They are made on the hills near my hometown in Italy. I am not going to tell you they're the best wines you'll ever taste..It may even be that you will not like them, but to me..they are a taste of home...if this makes any sense to you.

"alla salute" :D

[ProfMTH]

Buzz, I'm fairly sure I've tried Bardolino at an Italian restaurant about a year or so ago. I've heard of Valpolicella, but I don't think I've had it. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the recommendations.

[VeryPalpableHit]

Great list.

I think I can think of a few things that I like.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks. And I hope so. Looking forward to your list.

[hellshade2]

i will say i'm not a big wine drinker but on occasion i will have some pino grigio, it's a fairly dry white and not to sweet(i dislike sweet wines) and as for ferris buellers day off it's an old favorite of mine.

[ProfMTH]

I'm not big on sweet wines either, though a Riesling is nice every once in a while.

[west26cali]

So in summary you like stories, music, and group dancing. ;) lol

[ProfMTH]

Well, not quite, but you've got some of it.

[SoullessAtheist]

I like that scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off as well, because that's how life should be and how life should feel.

By the way, that Sexy Thing guy is really really HOT. I see why you always smile. I found myself doing same.

[ProfMTH]

Yeah, he is hot. ;-) Thanks, SoullessAtheist.

[Antichryst666]

I thank you for opening up and bringing some of your admirers to a little better/closer understanding of who you are. Great job.

[ProfMTH]

Thanks a lot.

[tattooskin72]

that shopping list is quite dubious LOL.

yes, that guys video is nice ;)

I got lost in his arms... sweet song ;)

oh, i'm a horrible person cause I love beer over wine LOL.

Chris Daughtry is hot and an amazing singer imho ;)

I love the song Twist and Shout hehe.

[ProfMTH]

"that shopping list is quite dubious"

It was real.

[tattooskin72]

I know it was real... I think I worded that incorrectly. I meant the intentions behind the shopping list could be dubious... uncertain. Sorry, I'm not always the best with words ;)

[ProfMTH]

No problem. I see what you meant now.

[sausage4mash]

I like your video's Prof

[ProfMTH]

Thanks, Sausage4mash.

[cerebulon]

Hey Prof, I was wondering if you had read the "Ferris Bueller / Fight Club theory, and if so what you thought about it?

[ProfMTH]

I haven't read it, Cerebulon. Should I?

[cerebulon]

I've seen a longer version, but this an abridged version of the theory; you might like it. One day while hes lying sick in bed, Cameron lets Ferris steal his fathers car and take the day off, and as Cameron wanders around the city, all of his interactions with Ferris and Sloane, and all the impossible hijinks, are all just played out in his head. This is part of the reason why the three characters can see so much of Chicago in less than one day — Cameron is alone, just imagining it all.

[cerebulon]

It isnt until he destroys the front of the car in a fugue state does he finally get a grip and decide to confront his father, after which he imagines a final, impossible escape for Ferris and a storybook happy ending for Sloane (Hes gonna marry me!), the girl that Cameron knows he can never have.

[ProfMTH]

Hmm.  Interesting.

[Cheebzsta]

Bollywood! Hilarious dancing dude was funny too.

[ProfMTH]

;-)

[Cheebzsta]

Not *that* funny, Prof.

I am pretty sure living around the Davie Village in Vancouver was enough to rub some gay off on me tho. I picked up an appreciation for bright colours and a strange urge to deep throat every banana I see. Oh well.

Enjoy the dancing dude enough for the both of us, my friend!
