Ciaran and I have found ample entertainment watching the YouTube videos of French "athlete", professional imposter and prankster Remi Gaillard. On his website there are all sorts of videos of things like when Remi dresses up as a snail and stops traffic, or dresses up like Mario and races around the city in a go cart (ala Mario Cart) or impersonates soccer, rugby, vollyball players and subsequently meets the president of France or somehow manages to make some crazy (I'm guessing fake) soccer shots around the city in his "Foot" videos.
Anyway, it's hilarious and random and great. At the end of all his videos is the quote, "C'est en faisant n'importe quoi qu'on devient n'importe qui", which translates as "By doing anything, you become anyone."
One of my many favourite videos is below.

The soccer videos are not fake, I would stake my reputation as a fake spotter on it.
