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.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.
