There's a Catholic ceremony near me; many of the Italian graves have photos on the grave markers, going back to the 1920s. It makes them all the more poignant.
Just the other day I was listening to an old This American Life. This one, in fact. The Act Two bit is the relevant part.
Ace Rimmer
If that's not a porn name, I don't know what is.
It's a character from Red Dwarf.
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer, without him life would be much grimmer...
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
I love the BBC.
Email your friend and tell him/her that you know a Nigerian diplomat that needs his/her bank account info.
Here is what the
First Bank of Nigeria has to say.
Ace is everything Arnold is not. I love's the theme song:
It's cold outside, no kind of atmosphere.
I'm all alone, more or less.
Let me fly, far away from here.
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun.
(Did I get it right?)
You forgot the goldfish shoals (schools)...
eta: Ah, they are in the second stanza. I cheated and googled...
It's cold outside,
there's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone, more or less,
Let me fly, far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.
I want to lie shipwrecked and comotose,
Drinking fresh mango juice,
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.
In other words, Mikey, good show.
Anything where somebodies curry comes to life as a Curry Monster is clearly a good show by default.
By the way, Ace Rimmer's website just made the front page of Slashdot.
BTW, I found the lyrics at this [link] . Lots of tv song lyrics.
