And now for… Eduard Hill

In the vein of our friend and Canuck commenter Karen, who apologized for the Olympic closing ceremonies by saying “our best writers were working far from home,” I am only posting this latest Internet sizzle because the writers of DadWagon are too busy with their “jobs” to bring you more of their usual dyspeptic  insightful content today.

So here is Eduard Hill, the latest Internet meme… from the Soviet era. John Flowers brought it to my attention on the Twitters. Many years of studying Russian tells me he’s supposed to be singing about coming home finally. Except he’s lipsyncing. And not very well.

Regardless, he got mention in the Huffington Post. And has a Facebook fan page. And a Zazzle t-shirt. Go ahead–try not to watch.

UPDATE: No discussion of Eduard Hill is complete without mentioning that he is also the secret truth behind LOST’s Dharma Initiative. Enjoy the awesome:
