Baptisation? Baptisation.

I put russell brand into Google to try to get context for a Babylon Bee article, and I added a new word to my vocabulary.

Brandon the Crow - Russell Crowe - Russell Brand

In my last post, "Brandon the Crow," I mentioned Brandon Lee of Crow fame and connected him with the actor Russell Crowe. Then I thought, Hey, isn't there some sort of famous person called Russell Brand? He would complete the Venn diagram!

I am really terrible at remembering who Russell Brand is -- I always get him mixed up with Richard Branson, and I can't remember who that is, either -- but a quick image search jogged my memory: He's that guy who played Trinculo in that one messed-up Tempest movie that had a gender-flipped Prospero.

Then I discovered that the dude's got a YouTube channel -- and that he apparently actually belongs in the center of my Venn diagram.

That's right: This guy, whose name came to mind only because he's called Russell as in Russell Crowe and Brand as in Brandon "the Crow" Lee, turns out to have a thing for crows.

And, skimming the titles of some of his most recent videos, I find lots and lots of anti-peck stuff and -- but of course! -- a video on "Let's Go, Brandon!" Is it possible that this weird-looking Hollywood guy could actually be on our side? Probably not (evidence: YouTube hasn't banned him), but it does suggest that the sync fairies brought him to my attention for a reason.
