The Monday Funnies-28 July 2008
KATT WILLIAMS *******This is actually the cleanest video I found of Katt’s performances. He had to clean it up for BET, but that’s alright with me because Sinbad and Bill Cosby have made me laugh just as hard as Katt does without uttering a single curse word. I still love Katt Williams though. I just have to make sure the kiddies can’t hear him! Especially the part about Snoop. Don’t mess with the professionals!

WORD OF THE DAY
XANADU
• \ZAN-uh-doo\ • noun
- : an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place
Example Sentence:
To Arthur, the beach house was a Xanadu, the perfect spot for the romantic tropical vacation he had dreamed of for years.
Did you know?
“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree.” Those lines are from the poem “Kubla Khan” (published in 1816) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Coleridge’s fantastic description of an exotic utopia fired public imagination and ultimately contributed to the transition of “Xanadu” from a name to a generalized term for an idyllic place. The Xanadu in the poem was inspired by Shang-tu, the summer residence of Mongolian general and statesman Kublai Khan (grandson of Genghis Khan). You might also recognize “Xanadu” as the name of the fantastic estate in Orson Welles’s 1941 film Citizen Kane.
“XANADU” MOVIE TRAILER-OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN AND MICHAEL BECK *******I remember being absolutely OBSESSED with this movie when I was a young whipper snapper. I would conjure up fantasies of magically coming through a wall (I thought that’s what happened!) and roller skating while singing with my hair blowing in the breeze. Then, I’d find the man of my dreams and we’d live happily ever after! A bit far-fetched one may say, but it’s just a fantasy! Minus the wall part (no, I’m not crazy) I haven’t given up hope of that fantasy becoming a reality. Cheesy much? You bet your sweet goodness it is! *******
