We got about 8" of this stuff in St. Louis back in the early 90's then it froze over on top. You could almost skate on it, then crack it open to find these little beads beneath it. Very strange.

Good lord, man. You've forgotten the best thing ever produced by Nick.

Pete and Pete.

it's true that "Wetten Dass?" is germany's if not one of europe's most popular shows. it's been on for probably somewhere around twenty-five years. yet it has to be said that they've lost a lot of their shine. the current presenter (thomas gottschalk, the dude with the blonde perm) is way over the hill and needs to retire badly. that you might as well tell him yourself - he resides in malibu.

Inappropriate use of the word "decimate" has always annoyed me. I mean the word contains "DECI" for pete's sake, it means to reduce by 1/10th. The Doctor Who finale used it correctly this year and I cheered for the baddie, I was so excited.

this is a viral ad waiting to happen.

this really ticks me off. nowhere does anyone mention that the song is an old Tom Lehrer song. the artist has merely made the video.

yeah, that's germany alright.

there are plenty of 60 second and even 90 second commercials even today, just as there are lots of 15 or even 5 second cut-downs. the way it usually works is that the agency makes a 30 or 60 second commercial and just recuts it to fit other bought slots. they often start out airing the 60 and then go to 30's after a week and show the 90 in theaters.

Mississippi is an indian word meaning "Land of the Porch Monkey".

What have blancmanges got to do with Cuba?

Geneisi 1 vrs 24 - God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

So I guess we are supposed to decide the fate of "god's creations" LosetheGodcomplex....
