Thanks Chuck, that whole movie cracks me up, especially their "Theme Song" ( I can only watch it when the Mini-Reika has gone to bed. Was caught singing the song to myself a work by my co-workers once. All the cooks started singing it with me.

Great music! Soccerdude has me listening to a band from Finland (??). I think you'd like them.

nightwish. they're ok - played here a while back (of the infamous kid goes to concert and doesn't make her "i made it ok" security call). they're playing up at the wiltern in LA soon. have a bad feeling about LA, and the ticketslave has been acting very oddly, so i've strongly advised kid to not go. she's not.

your son might like uniklubi, but the kid says they are more like emo. :wink:

From New Scientist

Quote:
CONNOISSEURS of 1970s UK police soap operas will remember the refrain "Let's be 'avin' you" when an arrest was about to be made. Matthew Falder brings to our attention what he describes as an example not of nominative determinism, but of locational determinism - the existence of a police facility on Letsby Avenue in the Yorkshire town of Sheffield.

This is true; we have checked it out. "No news yet if there is an 'Onyer Way' or 'Evenin Hall' in the vicinity," observes Falder sadly, in reference to two more catchphrases of the genre.

I have decoded, intercepted, and stolen some valuable information. It tool the NSA, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls and the PTA and me to come up with the correct translations. It's a hard language to crack.

The first one is pretty accurate, just a tale of some poor innocents that hadn't been warned. But were baited with 40 Euro. The second..weeelllllll, I'll get to that one, first the setting.

Ohhh the legend of Chuck lives on and has spread. The name gets changed as the legends continue to this very day. Let this be a dire warning, the legend is true. Believe it or not. I have even seen him in a pink tu-tu in my research, it must be him.

I don't know what they call this other Cafe. I've a feeling we can out do them if it ever comes to the dreaded...."Cafe Wars". Because Chuck is here and they still think he's in Black Lake.

Nope, no bunnies were harmed. The ducks were more than happy to donate to the cause.

....ah, yes. The Legend of Chuck...

...I hear Chuck's a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly prose-breaker, the owner of not one good quality, a plagiarizer of Billy Shakespeare, a leader from battle's rear, who shows himself lowly taught and an eater of pralines.

What he lacks in intelligence, he more than makes up for in stupidity. But there are only two things people dislike about him -
his face.

His legend is rooted in his being poet lariat of Millersville, his stories masterfully going nowhere about nothing painfully slowly, until his reader-victim suddenly finds him/herself wishing to hang him/herself in this long-braided poetic noose, in an effort to stop the misery, which seems to just go on and on, seemingly without end, as if forever, into the abyss of the eternal day and night, as wave after countless processional wave of churlish claptrap pounds the shore of his/her mind, infinitely infinitude, as it were, that is to say, so to speak. Or so I've heard. (...arrrrr.... ...Black Lake's just my vacation hideaway...)

:lol:
...thought I'd give nominative determinism a try:
The Blessed One (Lightning), the Good, the Handsome Obama?

The name as I wrote it above is a literal translation of “Barack Hussein Obama.” Barack is a variant of the Arabic and African word baraka, the blessed one, or if you prefer, the Hebrew word for lightning (the Barak of Jewish tradition is a victor against the odds, which should come in handy for Obama). Hussein, a name of Arab, and in Jordan royal, origin, means “the good, the handsome one.” Seems nominative determinant for one running for president. Except I couldn't find a meaning for Obama. (If it means "NOT!! !", he could be in trouble).

John McCain:
JOHN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN (English) [key]
English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious".
McCain: Irish derivative of McKean. McKean: Scottish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Iain ‘son of Ian’, a Gaelic form of John.

His name is "John" "Son of John", or "God is Gracious Son of God is Gracious". Maybe not nominative determinant, but if he wins, perhaps his name explains his win. :lol: :wink:
