I am still thoroughly entertained by the fact that I've got the Monkey saying "Go monkey! Choose monkey!"
Hee. Let us know if anyone "gets it".
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

move out and draw fire
billytea, are you guys getting an astrologer to select auspicious wedding dates? That might help also.

Awesome.
About 4 years ago someone sent me a vid of a guy lip-synching to a Romanian techno-dance song, Dragostea din tei. The vid was called "Numa Numa" (the chorus of the song). I thought nothing more of it until someone I've never met sent me a note that's a journal assignment from a high school teacher in NYC. The assignment is to watch every vid of Numa Numa - of which there are thousands - and write about which is your favorite and why.
a. Turns out we have a mutual friend, who didn't explain why I'd be interested.
b. This is why I wasn't a good teacher. My journalling assignments were never that bizarre.
c. Good God, how does something propagate like that, to where manga cats are being animated by Japanese kids as drunken salarymen to a Romanian clubbing song? Or an Israeli boy band covers it?
d. The internet, bringing people together.
e. I really miss canton pop. (I'm sure there's a less perjorative name for it, but I don't know what it is). I don't miss Romanian dance music, although I kind of like Zdib & Zdub, "Moldova's Cake."
f. On topic? Who cares!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Hah, that is AWESOME. I was only introduced to "Numa Numa" this past New Year's; I had no idea it had been around for four years. What rock was I living under? Regardless, I now know what I'm going to write about for this week's topic in my Technology in the School Library Media Center class, so thanks!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We have in fact rejected(!) the astrological advice, on the grounds that I'd already booked my flight. The planning committe (i.e. her relatives) seem to be understanding.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think the appeal of the Numa Numa song is that it is so frankly ridiculous. It demands imperious cats or something to give life to the incredible silliness of it.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Oh Fay, I'd hate to give the impression I was rolling my eyes at the misplaced apostraphe conversation; I enjoyed it. It's just something I'd be useless to spot.

Well, I'm on Guatemala time.

Same here. Except that time I was gun-running in Guatemala; my excuse then was 'temporary insanity'.
