Last night was oddly amusing

If you're on MSN, you'll notice that the title to this post is also my current p/m. However, it is true; last night was one of the most oddly amusing nights I've had in a while, and it's thanks to the wonders of the internet and the devotion of some YouTubers who wanted to raise money for Comic Relief.

If you cast your minds back to the weekend after half term when I blogged about YouTube and the users I'm following, you'll remember charlieissocoollike. Being one of the most subscribed-to YouTubers in the UK, he hosts a live show at 8pm every Saturday evening, where he "attempts to chat with all".

As you all boldly know, Comic Relief was on Friday and the total now stands at a record-breaking £57,809,938! That's quite a lot of money if you ask me. But you didn't ask me, so I'll be quiet now. Anyway, Charlie and his friends, Ian (username: iianardo), jazza (username: rhymingwithoranges), Dave (username: MusicFromBlueSkies), someone who goes by the username randomprodinc (I don't know his real name, it's not my fault!) and some other folks did a six-hour show to raise money for Comic Relief where they did challenges sent to them via e-mail or through the chat thing on the blogTV website.

They planned on going live for six hours, but went far over that. They were doing challenges until 1am (they started at 6 o'clock last night) and that's when Charlie, Jazza and the others went to bed. After that, we were left with Ian and Dave who were chatting with people for a long, long time; they went to bed at 6 o'clock this morning. I bet they were tired.

Some of the challenges were quite ingenious and some of them, like mine, were dead simple. The funniest and most entertaining challenge to watch them do was when they put ice down their undies and started dancing to "YMCA" and so on. Jazza also shaved his legs, and I think he was also eating lemons (with rinds).

My challenges were simple. If you know me well enough, or have been around me for quite some time, you'll know that I like to shout out the word "pickles!" or "pickled chickens!" at random intervals throughout the day. It's been going on for quite some time now, and I've kind of adopted "pickled chickens!" as my catchphrase. Or just a phrase that I frequently use. Since I thought it would be funny, I sent an e-mail to Charlie saying that if he shouts out "pickled chickens!" for me, I'll donate £5. He got my e-mail, and so he did it. Luckily, I didn't miss it. He just randomly went "pickled chickens!". For that, I donated £5. I then sent a chat message saying "There you go, I donated another fiver for you saying "pickled chickens" for me. That's made my day. ^_^ lol" to which Charlie replied, "Thanks, stuffandstuff, that was a really nice challenge." I was a rather happy bunny. Oh, and stuffandstuff is my username on blogTV by the way.

By the way, I did actually donate the £5. I'm a man of my word, I tells ya! If you noticed, the message says "another fiver", clearly showing that I'd donated more money. I donated £10 for the ice-cube dancing; something like that can't go unrewarded.

So anyway, after Charlie and the others went to bed (they looked extremely tired), Ian and Dave stayed and chatted. I didn't donate any more money because being a 16 year old who is still at school, I've only got limited funds. But they stayed, they chatted and I couldn't bring myself to close the window and so I was up 'til 5 o'clock this morning watching it. It was thrilling. I asked them if they were elves and they said "Aww, are we elves? Yes we are elves." It amused me.

As you can see from this, I'm an easily amused individual. Anyway, if you want to watch Charlie next week, he'll be here on Saturday at 8pm. I suggest you get there early so that you're not in the waiting room for hours like I was. I did finally manage to get into the main room, though. All you have to do is visit the link and the show will load.

You can also go to that link now and watch a recorded clip of the ice-cube dancing and you can see Dave and Ian singing "Show Me Your Genitals". As I said, oddly entertaining night.

Ooh, I forgot to mention - they managed to raise £1,615.44. That's a lot of money for one night, don't you think?

Now, I've got art and graphics work to do, so adios amigos! Visit their YouTubes, be entertained and so on. Toodles!
