It’s the usual Matrix pseudo science so put your brain on hold, and enjoy the story (its fun !).
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II does a really good job as a replacement for Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus.
Here is a Dutch version. Apparently the German version actually does have black pepper as part of the recipe. You could add it, but I have no suggestions as to amount other than small (the “pepper” part is, I suspect, filled by the cinnamon in this version).

Cream butter and sugar, add beaten eggs. Sift flour with baking powder and
spices. The dough should be extremely stiff and either rolled out thinly and
cut in tiny rounds the size of a coin or, with addition of1/2 cup cream, thinned
and shaped into small balls and placed on greased cookie sheet. Bake until light
brown in 350° oven about 10 minutes.
Notes from me:
Keep a very close eye on them from the seven minute mark.
1903 advertisement
A skilled tradesman might earn $850.00 a year.
Still a much better automobile cost / income ratio than today’s.
Note that “can be fitted” more than probably means extra cost.
And for those in the know; note that “Olds Motor Works” was strongly implying that the 1903 Olds was “the-answer-to-life-the-universe-and-everything.”
I posted the original video here, probably a couple of months ago.
I said it was one of my favorite videos ever…
Even though it was a silly, badly acted story, it’s fun, and colorful… and displays the red, green and gold of his lyrics.
Snippets of it are cut into this one, but mostly not cued up with his singing.
…
You actually prefer this grab bag of still photos, from different years and places, to seeing him happily singing in real time, and watching his carefully orchestrated little production?
I always try to find videos that show this actual performance, rather than one photo, or a pastiche of them.
But to each his/her own, truly.
…
And yes, this song is an earworm for me too.
I thought I didn’t like it at first, but it really grew on me, and now I hum it at odd moments.

The “12 Days After Christmas” is indeed a fun bit of Christmas silliness. 🙂
This, to my eye, is a well researched article about the origins of the… “CAT CHOIR”
… which is also fun.

Nana Mouskouri’s – “Old Toy Trains” video came very close to putting tears in my eyes.
As a barely pre-schooler, one of my favourite toys was a battery powered train set very similar to the ones in the video.
In an etched childhood memory, I can still remember dropping the locomotive on the floor and its breaking.
Along with that memory though came other very much happier ones (Puddy our cat, Noche, our pet squirrel, who used to eat visitors’ cigarettes to the point of sickness, Scamp, our dog, Mingo, our horse, more pony sized though, and, of course, childhood friends, one of whom just got in touch with me through a “feeler letter” (he wasn’t quite sure if I was me). 🙂

These are all Christmas-themed parodies of Beatles music performed by a cover band.

I’m not quite through with the new “Spiderman”-movie, but it’s fun – many well-known faces. The movie above is next on my list.
Stek, it’s going to take some time to go through all these goodies.
Wow…. the Bassets‘ Christmas album!
I haven’t heard it in ages…
Now I’m going to be howling Christmas music for days… but ’tis the season, isn’t it. In TWO days it’ll be Christmas!
Don’t they look great? Always so dapper… still wearing matching outfits, at this stage. Except for the hats, of course.
…
And those human guys who always imitated them… Buggles? Bees?
Oh yeah… it says right there: “Beatles“. They can’t howl, and they can’t even spell.
It’s not even snowing on their cover version…
I should say, the cover version of their cover version of The Bassets.
…
But hard as some of us have tried, we can’t post real Bassets videos on a human website … or any real canine copyright ones.
Only little videos that humans have made of basset hounds, like Dean.
Not actual basset singers… those are on BassetTube, and we can’t post them.
…
Thank heavens Stel did find some actual “Beatles“(sic) music…
It’s not the Bassets, but it’s kinda nice.
I’d never heard that Fan Club recording… it’s funny, hearing them make fun of themselves.
They know they’re not the Bassets… but they make the best of it, with humor.
Here’s the Beatles Fan Club message from the year before ….
It is snowing.
There was real, falling snow on the Bassets‘ album cover (er… I mean the Bassets’ cover album cover) 12 hours ago, when I posted my comment…
but I guess the weather has changed since then.
Or maybe by now, it’s simply been replaced by a still snapshot, just like on the Beatle’s cover, instead of live action.
…
It’s quite possible that, while it was a spectacular effect, the likes of which is only ever seen from Stel’s studio…
record stores just didn’t want to shelve a wet, snowy album in the bins with the regular dry stock.
Only StelBel knows for sure.
I know; I’ve saved it. But – sorry – it didn’t look too good imo (made me dizzy).
But it is snowing on the human version.

Those ears!!
and that unseen Gumby-like neck
That neck really threw me…
It’s this a rare bassiraffe?
“I TOLD YOU I needed traction for my stiff neck.”
What you can read of this “National Geographic” article says this is off South Africa. LINK
Is the kayaker hearing music by John Williams at this point?
..
Awwww… is its name Karma?
I’m old enough to have this ear-worm (not the Star Trek one!) stuck in my head.
(much better than the original video Imo)

That’s not nice.
You guys…
Sorry…. I don’t understand what’s not nice.
I asked a question, explaining my preference, and trying to understand yours…
and I shared that it was an earworm for me too.

Bern (Berne), Switzerland.
And (sniffle) …those roofs are actually brown, without the snow and the moonlight making them look blue.
But it’s beautiful.

Great poster, Stel. I love all the sparklies!

They need to quit giving him baking soda!
Works wonders against the smell of the litter-box.
Wow. Who says black cats are bad luck?
More Worm Week.
I want to know how long it took to knit that scarf.
