Forget Sara Lee. No One Doesn’t Like Jackie Chan

Forget Sara Lee. No One Doesn’t Like Jackie Chan

From the German TV show Wanna Bet?

Jackie Chan is one of those rare celebrities that becomes universal. He could appear in any country, any language — cooking show, talk show, game show, stage play, movie, whatever — and just be himself. He’s got more in common with Santa Claus or Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed than a movie star.

No one doesn’t like Jackie Chan. And even if you could find someone that didn’t, he could kick their ass and then make friends with them at the same time anyway.

And Polish changes everything. Koparką nad morze, the title says; “excavator to the sea.” Say, isn’t that a Bobby Darin song?

Excavator to the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
A Polish man on golden sands
He’s draggin’ some drips that go sailin’

Excavator to the sea
YouTube’s watching for me
If I could fly like nerds who’re high
Then dragged by my arms
I’d go sailin’


It’s far beyond the czars
It’s near beyond Kowloon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon…

(Thanks to Gerard at American Digest for sending that along. He knows that’s a grapple attachment on the end of that excavator’s arm. He’s cool that way)

“My secoud video about turnimans in Sambir(11.09.2011)

I capture this video on my Casio Exilim EX-H15.
Place of events is my native town Sambir (Ukraine).”

Ah, yes — a “turnimans.” The world needs more of such turnimans, and less of the other kinds.

Synchronized swimming is an Olympic sport. So are canoeing,  jumping on a trampoline, dressage, and badminton. The IOC also recognizes bridge, billiards, bocce, chess, competitive ballroom dancing, and reading a map and compass as activities that meet the definition of sports that could be included in future Olympics.

All the real sports are played informally in the playground and on the street now. If it’s organized, it’s a toddler beauty pageant of some sort, and can be safely ignored.
