I don’t usually plonk a YouTube video in my posting and consider that a valid entry–makes me feel more like the lazy bugger that I am. But sometimes there are exceptions. This video had me laughing like someone who had just smoked a couple of good joints (or so they tell me).
I just absolutely love Amitabh Bachan. So here you are: Enjoy!

LOL. I didn’t get it at first until I blast the speaker.

LOL! That had me in stitches, AbgKai. We should confer on him a dato’ship just for making at least 2 Malaysians happy, today.

MB, that’s not fair. I used to only associate AB with romantic movies like Kabhi Kabhi and now – he is a comic who talks gibberish. Yes, I agree with Zendra, lets give him a Datukship – three malaysians in stitches now.

Mat
It’s not about disappearing for a long time. It’s more like one post. Or until you bring out Amitabh Bachan.
When I first heard my auntie speak in glorious terms in adoration for this man, it sounded to me more like Belacan. I couldn’t believe her. Seriously. The poor auntie, the poor man. She thought I was making fun of her idol. She could not forgive me for months.
Now this belacan will get a Datukship. But many other smelly fellows also get it. Isn’t it?
Did I sound terribly envious of the man? But I have to get my self confidence back. By one upmanship perhaps. Except I don’t have anything up. Except … now, now, don’t go there, Mat.
Cheers.

Salam MB,
didodido didididi.
But, it was kind of stupid and funny. Bet the agency that did this will try to hide its name. At times, when the client insist on certain things, the agency has no choice but to go along.

Er, actually I find the ad a bit illogical. Seems like the issue is bad handwriting, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Even with the best Parker pen.

Point taken, point taken. Yeah it is humorous all right. As an aside, I used to work for the company than bought over the Parker brand about 10-12 years ago. Back during my schooldays, it is always either Parker or Sheaffer fountain pens. Unfortunately all I ever had were those leaky Heros. The only one time my father loaned me his Sheaffer, I lost it – on the very same day. I know it pained him but he never showed it.

Ohh.. I see, they were trying to sell Parker. I thought they were trying to lelong the Big Ben that was ticking so distractingly at the background. *laughs*

May I bro plonk this to share [*lazy to write mood*]:)
Nosey Parker:
“The most usual origin suggested is the late (the very late) Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury in the reign of Elizabeth I in the sixteenth century. He was a reforming cleric, noted for sending out detailed enquiries and instructions relating to the conduct of his diocese. Like many reformers, he was regarded as a busybody.
However, the huge flaw in this suggestion is that the term nosey Parker isn’t recorded until 1907.
The term nosey for someone inquisitive, figuratively always sticking their nose into other people’s affairs, is a little older, but even that only dates back to the 1880s. Before then, anyone called nosey was just somebody with a big nose, like the Duke of Wellington, who had the nickname Old Nosey.
One suggestion, put forward by Eric Partridge in his Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, was that the saying dates from the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851.
Very large numbers of people attended the Exhibition, so there would have been lots of opportunities for peeping Toms and eavesdroppers in the grounds.
The word parker has since medieval times been used for an official in charge of a park, a park-keeper; I’ve read that the term was used informally for the royal park-keepers who supervised Hyde Park at the time of the Great Exhibition. So the saying might conceivably have been applied to a nosey park-keeper.”
