Dog Judo
The “movies” on this site had me laughing so hard I was worried I would wake up my fiance. They remind me of the “cartoons” Terry Gilliam used to make for the Python television series, except these appear to have originated from a sane mind…well, comparatively speaking.
His Favorite Works Include: Mozart’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, and Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet
Well, Slippery When Wet isn’t listed, but the BBC plans on posting all nine of Beethoven’s symphonies in mp3 format. So far five are up and ready for download.
Simpsons-Larger Than Ever
