See if you like this humorous characterization I came up with. Please give it
a good rating if you enjoy it.

Oh well!

Judging by the complete lack of reaction, either nobody got it or it just
wasn't funny ornobody is in the mood right now.

I disagree with one of the comments below your video... absolutely great
accent! Just like a true Russian.
Imagine was absolutely the best! Good voice too Dave; I'm impressed.

[usenetposts]

Thanks, Karola, thanks too to Kylie and Eugene. I'll be doing some more of that
character, and I also have an American character which I'll be adding in the
next few days, and all feedback will be much appreciated.

[ja_karola]

Will your American character have a Texan accent by any chance?

I doubt I can do authentic Texan, but at least I'll trah.

This is awesome, Dave. I had a good chuckle. My son was watching it with me and
he said he thought you sounded like one of those Russian criminals in "From
Russia with Love" (the 007 movie with Sean Connery, if you remember). Your
Russian accent is absolutely spot on! Also, your lip curves upwards with the
word "dreeeeaaamer"- it kinda shakes and vibrates like Elvis's. That's
hilarious! Hooliganov is truly ripping into it with a whole lotta emotional
intensity! I can definitely feel it in every note (...any crystal at home?)

Hooliganov...you are the man!

I love it, Dave.

[ejmarkow]

Dave, very impressive! You can even sing.

What type of video camera do you use? Is it digital?

My parents gave me a logitech webcam for my birthday last week, and this is
what I've been doing with it. The earlier stuff by me is with a Fuji Finepix.

[kylie1]

Dave, I have a feeling you could do the German accent quite nicely. Would you
give it a try? I think you would be really good at it!

Other suggestions:

a drunk
British aristocracy
English with French accent.

OK, I'll resurrect my old Usenet persona "Sproey von Weitzentrenner" and turn
him into a video turn.

I wouldn't know how to do that.

> British aristocracy

OK, I even have one of them. I'd like to do an impersonation of an aristocrat
who degenerates into a chimp during each of his appearances, all the while
taking umbrage at charges of "inbreeding" in the European aristocracy.

> English with French accent.

I have to call that character "Pierre de Launey"

Thanks for the inspirations!

[kylie1]

Dave,

Before Gary went to work, I decided to play "youtube" with Mr.Hooliganov for
him. He really liked it - especially the Lenin song! He thinks you are
pretty good. I know none of us could ever do this! I think the fact that you
are so good at this has a lot to do with you having a really ear for both
foreign languages and music.

Your American is not too shabby either, you know!

That's definitely a gift from up high!!

Thanks, Kylie. I was particularly pleased to hear that my American wasn't too
far off the mark.

I've now put bespoke colours on my profile, which might add something, I don't
now.

[kylie1]

I love that name, Dave!

I think maybe we should also consider his brother Ames Toulouse and perhaps his
cousin Toulouse De Beat?

[russh]

Very very good.

I agree with Kylie - more needed!

[usenetposts]

Thanks, Russ!

Dave, you sod!

I've heard Imagine at least 4 times on the radio today. It's always been one of
my favourite songs.

Everytime I heard it, your version came to me. Aaargh!

I'm not going to give you a list of my 10 all-time favourites, that's for sure.

Heh heh heh.

I don't suppose "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be on it, will it?

I might give that one a twirl in the future.

'Mama, just killed a man. Can't get his song outta my head'

No, its not on my 10 all-time, but I do love it. I remember when it first came
out (1975), accompanied by that incredible (at the time) video. Sheer Queen!

I saw them at Live Aid (yes, I was one of the lucky ones to get a ticket) - one
of, if not the, greatest live shows ever (Queen that is, as well as the Live Aid
concert as a whole).

You lucky man.

Anyway, if you like Bohemian Rhapsody, you won't want to look at me

Who needs Freddy when we've got Davey!

Super, again.

What about Elvis? I'm sure that In The Ghetto could do with a better version
than the last re-mix.

Yeah. I'll do some Elvis. My next character I'm already working on, and if I
get some peace and quiet when the kids have gone to bed, I might do something
with him. He's based on a friend of mine from University who claimed to be
Polish when he had a broad Newcastle accent. I might get him singing Elvis in
Geordie.

Enjoyed it! Dave, a man with many talents. By the way, "Imagine" was a good song
to pick on. Tell me one thing: how do you find time for all your on-line life?

Thanks, Ervin

I spend more time on it than I should. But I think people do tend to make time
for what they enjoy, and I did have a bit of holiday recently.

I expect that your expertise in photography took a good while to perfect so I
could ask you the same question!

I did separate out the G in "ng" sometimes, but I didn't always remember to,
that's true. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

Спасибо!

Dave, you have given me some inspiration to produce a video here to post on the
net. Any recommendations for a theme?

It all depends on what you can do and what interests you, and also on what your
technical gadgets are and how well you can squeeze something out of them.

You could do a nature report down there or sing some American song, or
something.

I think I will recruit one my my workers by the name of Jasiek to team up with
me in a comical video. This man should have seriously been in Holly-Łódź. He is
a natural born comedian and an excellent worker as well. If anyone here needs
high quality stucco work and someone to keep you pissing in your knickers at
the same time, just let me know.

I'm looking forward to it.

In the meantime, I have taken to using software to do a spot of editing on my
new videos. See the latest ones here:

Also note my sexy orange and black colour scheme...

Have you ever seen the movie Ishtar with Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman? It
was one of the greatest Hollywood distasters of the eighties. By virtue of
being so bad, it was one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen! The best: their
pathetic performances in a shady Tangiers hotel and an attempt to buy a camel,
which in the end turned out to be blind.

I don’t know why, but it just came to mind…. It certainly is a mine of
inspiration. Rent it, if you can.

Not yet, but I will heed your advice and rent it. I really enjoyed Hoffman in
the classic film "Midnight Cowboy". That films presents such an array of
contrasts (like Siemiechów and New York City), although not considered to be a
comedy. One film which had me bursting at the seems is another classic, "The
Owl and a Pussycat" with Barbara Streisand. Pure humor. An oldie but a goodie.

That often happens with hollywood films. Some are considered to be flops by the
elite critics when in reality they have a cult following and are enjoyable.
