This is so random, but I'm watching an old 80s game show (Blockbusters -- love the Bill Cullen), and at that time, Iran was the country that sent the most foreign students to US universities. Must have been right around the revolution.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I play a mean Pianosaurus.
We watched a tape of MST3K from 1991 last night. Man has advertising changed. More to the point, Joel and the bots made a theremin reference.

I LOVE the giant legoman. I love that it just shows up.
Sadly I'm watching Dodgeball.

Sweet! I've got an ocarina, MIDI French horn, etch-a-sketch rhythm machine, pianosaurus and sumi on glockenspiel (freeform).
This band ploinks!

In other exciting news, Emmett and I sang the Spider-Pig song all the way home from the East Bay.
Emmett declares the line, "No he can't / he's a pig" to be comedy genius.

Have you guys seen this? It's a crazy lion/buffalo throwdown, with some alligators in a cameo.
I was watching it and saw the lions settle down after fighting off the croc and I thought, "Hey, we're only half-way through the video, what else--WTFOMG!" as the camera pulls back and you see this whole *army* of water buffalo standing there saying, "You took our calf. Give it back."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Emmett declares the line, "No he can't / he's a pig" to be comedy genius.
I completely agree with Emmett. That line cracks me up every single time.
