Love the Involuntary Luge clip with corresponding script link. Very funny. I have a student who was asking me if I thought it was a good idea that he starts watching some videos as an exercise and trying to note word for word what they say. He ï¿½ll love this. Thanks Nina.

By the way, to anyone else out there who love this but, like me, spent ages scrolling down the script to find the part that features in the clip, I ï¿½ll save you some time and tell you, it ï¿½s two thirds of the way down and the paragraph ends with the line "I wanna see that event next year: ï¿½the involuntary looge. ï¿½"
