Jonathon and Mary Beth Argue + Blue Hair

Jonathon and Mary Beth Argue

Blue Hair

Happy New Year! Well, at least around the time these videos were posted on the 6th of January 2007. Lets see what we can find out about what was going on around this time! 

The song currently topping the charts in the US was “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce. But in the UK, Leona Lewis was on a three week streak at number one with “A Moment Like This”. 

Some Major Historical Events going on January 2007:

Bulgaria and Romania officialy join the EU

Steven Jobs announces the iPhone

She-who-must-not-be-named finishes the final book in the Harry Potter Series

Doomsday Clock set to five minutes to midnight in response to North Korea’s 1st Nuclear Test

Plenty of things going on at this time. Now, cheking back in with our buddy, way back machine (8 January 2007), top 3 featured videos were:

Ron Ronsmith and the Fake News by sxephil

Britethorn Responds! By britethorn

My Legendary Girlfriend by kee1000

But let’s talk about the videos…

Starting with “Jonathon and Mary Beth Argue", I have so many questions and after attempting to dig through the internet for answers I have come back with NOTHING! I am going to assume that this was a personal project with a friend, (whom I am assuming is Victoria who was mentioned in the previous video we watched). 

Premise: Mary Beth (Victoria) and Jonathon (Phil) are having an argument about his drinking on Christmas. Jonathan wields a sprite, takes a sip, and promptly turns into a frog the size of a chihuahua. All 21 seconds are a little cringy, but fit well into Phil’s branding that it just makes sense. Overall, this video was good and I think that it would have fit in very well this the other videos that were on youtube at the time.

EDIT: I have actually started watching the next set and I am currently editing my post, BUT I have discovered that the friend I assumed was Victoria is actual Anja! Sorry bestie!

Total Watch Time: 2m 28s

Blue Hair

Moving on to “Blue Hair”, Philip Lester, you need to tag your jumpscares. This video is simply 100 seconds of Phil messing with the settings on the camera he is filming with and documenting the changes in color and the camera's ability to film in the dark. This reminded me so much of a moment from his recent video on amazingphil where he reads his original buffy fanfiction where he says that he taught himself editing. It’s crazy to think that the 20-year-old we see playing with a camera in this video becomes the successful social media influencer we see today. 

Total Watch Time: 4m 09s

Marathon ~ Brother!Sam Golbach

Summary: Based of the video where Sam ran 26 miles with 26 YouTubers, you his younger sister, join him at the end.

Warnings: possible swearing, nicknames, crying, mentions of cancer, fluff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam was running a twenty-six mile marathon with twenty-six different YouTubers. You were also going to join but for the last mile, knowing the marathon was for an amazing cause.

When you got the news Colby had cancer you felt your whole world collapse. Much like Sam. Colby was another brother to you and you were a little sister to him. You often helped where you could, which both Colby and Sam appreciated.

So when Sam said he was doing this marathon, you had to join, along with your other siblings.

You stood at the twenty-five mile mark, waiting for Sam to arrive. You had been watching your socials seeing the live stream and smiling at how he kept pushing himself.

"There he is!"

You looked and saw your older brother now running towards you. You smiled and tapped to swap and run with him.

"Hey." He called.

"Hey, your doing amazing." You said.

"Thanks, kid." He replied.

You quietly ran alongside your brother, smiling at everyone who cheered him on. You looked and saw he was very tried but knew it was totally worth it.

"Nearly there, Sammy." You mentioned.

Sam chuckled at the nickname, one you used when you were younger. As you got to the finish, you both smiled, a few tears forming in your eyes.

"Fuck, we did it." Sam said.

"You did it." You replied.

Sam smiled as everyone came and gave him a high five, aside from Colby, who Sam hugged tightly. You smiled and got pulled in by the two to join the hug.

"Thanks for doing this with me." Sam said.

"Anytime. Anything for my brothers." You responded, making him and Colby both smile.

"You've been broken and reformed..." "Do you really think a monster like you could be a Voltron Paladin?" "Crystal Venom " lives rent free in my head. Shiro spends that episode making so many exceptionally distressed expressions.

TLSP Lowland 2016 really was a fever dream

We had the Kane train situation with Alex’s knowing smirk and his little conductor voice like a happy little boy (21:56) (and afterwards Alex looks like he wants to say even more before thinking better of it) Jesus Alex we can’t you got all the ticket stubs for first class;

And Alex getting ‘stuck’ on the box/amp and needing Miles to help him down (56:54) (even though just a minute prior Alex got down from an identical one on his own🤣)

And then Miles just casually showing off his god skills and just playing one handed while holding his drink in the other hand (57:45)

And at 53:37 Miles’ little “Alex” 🫠🥹 and the way Alex immediately looked up at him

And 54:07 is it just me or do I hear a soft��oh fuck off”

introducing...eden louise “edie lou” ferraro 

gen 1: aries for the another zodiac legacy challenge by @acuar-io

since childhood, seeking out attention was a constant in eden louise ferraro’s life. her parents didn’t engage with her, rarely made her feel wanted. so she became the type of person who would seek out any attention, positive or negative. she’s a needy girl with an almost pathological desire to be noticed. of course, her hot-headed temper and mean attitude (that especially rears its head when eden feels vulnerable) make it difficult to maintain friendships, let alone romantic relationships. 

after making the move from sandy oasis springs to the spice district of san myshuno, eden decided she’d get the attention she so desperately craved by any means necessary. now an internet personality with aspirations of becoming fabulously wealthy, eden louise - self nicknamed edie lou - spends her days: 

trying to turn her social media career into fortune

cuddling and dressing up her bby chihuahua, clover (bites)

gaming, streaming, vlogging

keeping it tight to flex on social media 

seeking out validation in the form of romantic relationships and/or money

&& generally oscillating between being an overly attached lover and a messy gal ;)

The 2024 Men's Olympic Marathon Was Epic

Excuse me for some screaming about the 2024 Paris Olympic Men's Marathon, okay?

Cool. Under the cut 'cause this is gonna get long and enthusiastic.

So, first of all, Kenenisa Bekele, the man the myth the legend, was back at the Olympics. After twelve years. After he very nearly won the 2024 London Marathon. I was there and seated for this.

For second, I immediately developed a massive mancrush on Yaseen Abdallah. He's 22. He represents Sudan. He just graduated from college. He--get this--had never run a marathon before. (He was in the race on one of the Olympic universality places.) And said about running, "I hate hills".

let's all take a moment to remind ourselves of the brutally hilly Paris Olympic marathon course, yes? Yes.

And finally, Bat-Ochiryn Ser-Od was running his sixth Olympic marathon, which is makes my brain bleed to even think about.

I was too cheap to pay for a livestream, plus, from everything I've read, live television coverage of championship marathons is usually pretty shit. (Especially if there are men's and women's races happening at the same time. But feminist outrage about how fukkin' horrible TV coverage of women's long distance racing is, is not the point of this post.) I was following the race via the Olympic webpage, which gives 5k splits, and various major newspapers live updates. I should also say that I'm a pretty new fan of the sport and not at all a competitive runner myself, so, take all of this for what it's worth.

That marathon was ridiculous. Reasons include:

Eyob Faniel (Italy): made what seemed like a serious effort to take charge in the first half of the race. Boy did he pay for it later. But how exciting to see someone go for it.

By the end of the first half, it looked like Tamirat Tola (Ethiopia) had been like, "I'll take it from here" and seeing him win, in an Olympic record, on THAT COURSE, in those weather and humidity conditions, was frankly fucking bonkers. Like, run do not walk to watch the Eurosports coverage of the last ten minutes of the race, because the beauty and economy of that man's stride belongs in a museum.

The performance of Akira Akasaki (Japan). Bro is 26, this was his first Olympics and world championship race. He stayed in fifth place almost the entire freaking race, even with the Faniel-led craziness in the first half, and only ended up sixth when he got passed at the very end. You can see his finish in the clip above, and I implore you to watch it. Dude looks so flipping' happy, and from what I could see on the live tracker, you could set a metronome or an atomic clock by his pacing. And you can see from the video of the last ten minutes--he's running alone! There's no one with him! Again, as far as I can tell this was his first race at this level of competition. Absolute insanity. I can't wait to see what he does in the future.

Bashir Abdi got silver! After his bronze in Tokyo! What a legend. Also, Benson Kipruto was third. Both, from the live tracker, seem to have run incredible, smart races, especially in the second half.

Emil Cairess, (a Yorkshireman! Whoo!) who went from 9th at the half, to 2nd at 30k, to 6th at 35k and 40k, and finished fourth. I bet his race was epic to witness live. (And his finish is hilarious, dude looks like he left it allllll on the ice. Love to see it.)

Seeing somebody set a National Record is always exciting; seeing someone do it in heat, humidity, and hills, and come seventh in the Olympic marathon, is even cooler. Give Tebello Ramakongoana (Lesotho) all the flowers.

In the battle of Connor Mantz (USA) vs the Hurt Locker (dude looks like he went with Faniel and paid for it), the judges award Mantz the victory. He hung on for eighth.

Yaseen Abdallah, hater of hills, finished his first marathon, in 2:11 for 33rd place, setting a new national record for Sudan. My head exploded. If he ever decides to run another marathon, dude has a bright future.

Kenenisa Bekele had a rough day at the office but he finished! I was hoping to see him medal, because I'm a huge fan of his, but seeing him grind to finish 39th is inspiring. Massive respect to him. Eliud Kipchoge sadly DNF'd, and I hope he is okay.

And in last place, Bat-Ochiryn Ser-Od, finished his sixth Olympic marathon, which he was determined to do after dropping out in Tokyo. Ridiculous.

And that was the men's Olympic marathon. Bonkers from beginning to end. Cannot wait to follow the women's race tomorrow!

Last ten minutes of the race:

John's Theme

This song, as obviously stated by the title, is a remix of a song from the Marathon OST called "Guardians." The original song (and the rest of the OST) was composed one of the game's lead designers and developers, Alex Seropian; credit for the song and all of the Marathon OST goes to him, not me. This remix is done by Ryan Martin, credit for this remix goes to him, not me.

I specifiy that this is John's theme because it simply reminds me of him. Chief in-general, regardless of version and continuity.

Uh.

Does youTube degrade the quality of older videos? Or did I really watch this "ING New York City Marathon course video" like 55 times back in 2006 and never notice that it was filmed using an array of photo resistors duck-tapped together and hilariously sold to someone as a "camera"?

I guess ubiquitous HD video has me pretty spoiled.

IDK if I'll be able to train up to doing it, but before I didn't know if I'd run at all again.

My leg feels … interesting.

I ran a half marathon last weekend!!!

When Beta tells Hailey her next assignment is to have a movie marathon, she and Scott have the film festival ever when they binge the Chibi versions of her favorite Disney movies.

Please enjoy the best version of the vaudeville Mirror skit. Lucille Ball and Harpo Marx are incredible in this scene. From the episode ‘Harpo Marx,’ of I Love Lucy. Aired 9 May 1955.

The Lucy/Harpo skit was inspired by the famous scene from Duck Soup (1933) with Groucho Marx and Harpo Marx.

Aside from the Vaudeville skits on stage, the Groucho Duck Soup routine was inspired by this skit in The Marathon (1919) with Harold Lloyd.

Honourable mention goes to this X Files episode ‘Dreamland’ with David Duchovny and the incredible Michael McKean airing 29 Nov 1998.
