For the poll:

"and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends"

"r-o-l-a-i-d-s"

"hey, kool-aid! oh, yeah"

for the poll:

tastes great! less filling!

Nickelodeon. We have that in the US too. Right, Shape Shifter?

I think it was a Canadian show (CJOH Ottawa, if I recall correctly), but may have been more popular here than there - esp if Nickelodeon ran it - we don't have that in Canada.

Canadians invented slime, btw. It's a fact.

The look of terror on these victims of the new weapon should give everyone pause.

This sounds like a job for Maxwell Smart.

By the way -- could the helpful soul who posted the link to that little ditty provide an encore? That was hilarious. I was watching some bad movie (I think it was called Basquit or something, about some 80's artist who was friends with Andy Warhol -- as played by David Bowie). Anyway, Christopher Walken plays a reporter in that movie, and during the scene he was in, all I could think of was, "I need more COWBELL".

In fact, that phrase has become immovably lodged in my RAM. Kind of disturbing, on some level, I suppose.

Cookie was the man. Always looked a little crazy with those spinning eyeballs... Don't fuck with Cookie.

This is all basic shit. You're going to have to throw in some Kaptain Kool and the Kongs or Run Joey Run to have serious childhood cred.

You have to say something like "GE, we bring good things to life!" or "you're soaking in it!" or for str8 and me "Blue smiles along with you" or something like that.

What. Ever.

I'm just younger than you all.

New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey resigns his post, citing an extramarital homosexual affair. Details soon

I wonder how Terrell Owens feels about this.

I'm sure it depends on the smell.

You can't be upset with Anne for missing it; you buried the lead.

I'm not upset. Merely territorial. Like a dog pissing in a corner. But different.

ETA: both fox news and Matt Drudge are going absolutely apeshit over this story.

Sorry, for missing your ETA. More scuttlebut from the Newark Star Ledger.

You'll feel a painful, awful pounding in your head.

And you'll feel so bad you'll wish that you could lie right down and die!

Just remember . . . never never tell a lie
(An even small one!)
Just remember . . . never never . . . tell a LIIIIIIIIIIE!

This was not the only time the Mormon Church totally lied to me, but it had a good beat and you could dance to it.

I believe this is the work of Janice Kapp Perry, who, for all her musical faults, does know how to write a catchy tune. She's also the one who put music to the words of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT and with a gaydar reading just a notch below John Ashcroft's) a few years back.

So is every political blog known to this woman. Chip Jarvis's account is my favorite: http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/...12.html#007708

I wonder if Rick Perry will join the inevitable support group.
