Eclipses and Rings and Circular Things

Spock and I have just finished one amazing series and begun another. We a few days last week watching the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Those movies are ridiculously long to begin with, and with the extended versions, another hour is tacked on to each one, at the least. It was fun, though, if only for the fact that I understand a lot more of Spock's nerdy LotR jokes. I suppose I could have called him Gimli on my blog, but he's a bit too tall for that. Speaking of LotR jokes, Spock told me about the viral video "Taking the Hobbits to Isengard". If you ever want to annoy the crap out of someone, send them this video. It's like a geekier version of rickrolling. On another thread, I was very weirded out when Spock told me that the actor who played Boromir Eomer was Bones in the new Star Trek movie.
Today, we started watching the first season of Heroes. We've only watched the first two episodes so far, but I like it already. And I'll admit, I'm mostly watching it because of Sylar, aka Zachary Quinto. Tomorrow, more Heroes!
But for now...

Rick Astley is Serious Business

I frequently listen to a local oldies station, and this morning, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" came on. Spock, my boyfriend-like person, and I joked that the entire county had just been rickrolled. But, I thought about it for a while, and I wondered why the song is so damn funny. For those of you lucky enough to never have been rickrolled, here is the Pop Up Video version, courtesy of a lovely Youtuber.
Why is that song so funny? Is it because a gangly, red-headed Brit sounds like the biggest black baritone you've ever heard? Is it because the dance moves are so ludicrous that you can't help but laugh until a beverage spews out of your olfactory cavities? [That's your nose, just in case you were wondering.] I personally don't see what's so hilarious about it, probably because I had heard it long before it was transformed into the meme it is today. Which brings me to my list.
