Spike ,'Sleeper'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Dude, A-Rod totally eats baby brains for breakfast when he's not munching on freshly minted millions. He's eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.
He must be if he gets Plei to make a baseball related post that isn't about how there's too much baseball natter.
On an unrelated note - Jess, where's your tagline from?
For posterity:
NO, YOU FOOL! THE COMEDY SHEEP! BRING OUT THE COMEDY SHEEP!
Lo, many posts ago, Natterinos discussed:
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe
Catch a tiger by it's toe
If he hollers, make him pay
Fifty dollars every day.
I thought I would share that I used to say it as:
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tigger by the toe
If he hollers, let him go
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo
I realize now that tigger is probably worse than tiger, but not realizing any racial connections at the time, I always thought it was a tigger like the Tigger found in Winnie the Pooh.
In case anyone still cared...

I learned it both ways but I never thought it was tigger instead of tiger.
I never heard the fifty dollars thing til last night.
I have been known to mock the British myself, although mostly over things like eating baked beans on baked potatoes and their fondness for standing in queues.
Man, it's like shooting fish in a barrell, mocking the British! We all need to start challenging ourselves, mocking-wise.

Once again, DX is me. I was only taught (and have only actually heard) tiger, but I was aware at a fairly young age of the other. God knows from where - the curse of the young voracious but indiscriminatory reader.

Oh, and also - the British? Try the Russians. We all know about the line-standing. When I was in Russia my brother's GF went to pick up baked potatoes for lunch.
What she went to get:
Something kind of plain, with maybe some broccoli or some other veggie on it.
What that translated to:
Slices of ham in cheese sauce
Pickled vegetables, sort of like a gardiniere
Pickles of the usual sort
Hot dog slices in mustard sauce
Something else I disremember
This is on each potato, mind you. They must have been out of beans.
That's some kind of potato. Wow.
Two tidbits from tonight's Alias:
1. Driveshaft's "You All Everybody" is playing at Weiss' party
2. Martin Bishop is Robert Redford's character in Sneakers
And Nadia is hot.
OK, I think I don't like the "Many Faces of Sydney Bristow" opening credits on Alias. Missed them last week. Not sure what they were before, but they didn't seem so....well, that.
Yeah, I definitely prefer the old credits. The also changed the music up a bit. It sounds too dischordant to me now.

Neither did I. I heard the racist version from my best friend in kindergarten through 2nd grade or so, though. He turned out to be a real jackass when we got older.
