Earth Sandwich

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-mayo-mayo-sucks dept.

yourhotneighbor writes "If you haven't seen Ze Frank's hilarious videoblog, it's worth checking out. A few weeks ago he challenged visitors to create an "Earth Sandwich" where two pieces of bread are placed exactly opposite each other on the globe. Google mashups showing what's on the opposite side of the Earth and a live GeoRSS-based bread gallery were provided. A piece on NPR this Saturday details the concept and a team from New Zealand and Spain completed the challenge. Then on Friday he allowed his show to be written by his viewers who battled out 2,000+ script revisions in a Wiki. Sunday's New York Times describes the results."

    Let me sum it up here:

    Two guys carring a small baggette fly in a plane, drive a car, and eventually walk to a remote area. They then place one half of the baggette on the ground, and claim victory.

    I think I've got a video of a hair growing on my big toe that's more interesting.

    Hadji Girl

    I was out in the sands of Iraq
    And we were under attack
    And I, well, I didn't know where to go.

    And the first thing that I could see was
    Everybody's favorite Burger King
    So I threw open the door and I hit the floor.

    Then suddenly to my surprise
    I looked up and I saw her eyes
    And I knew it was love at first sight.

    And she said...
    Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
    Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
    Hadji girl, I can't understand what you're saying.

    And she said...
    Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
    Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
    Hadji girl, I love you anyway.

    Then she said that she wanted me to see.
    She wanted me to go meet her family
    But I, well, I couldn't figure out how to say no.

    Cause I don't speak Arabic.

    So, she took me down an old dirt trail.
    And she pulled up to a side shanty
    And she threw open the door and I hit the floor.

    Cause her brother and her father shouted...
    Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
    Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
    They pulled out their AKs so I could see

    And they said...
    Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
    Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
    (with humorous emphasis:)
    So I grabbed her little sister, and pulled her in front of me.

    As the bullets began to fly
    The blood sprayed from between her eyes
    And then I laughed maniacally

    Then I hid behind the TV
    And I locked and loaded my M-16
    And I blew those little f*ckers to eternity.

    And I said...
    Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad
    Sherpa Sherpa Bak Allah
    They should have known they were fuckin' with a Marine.
