Do your balls hang low? do they wabble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knott? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a contenental solgier? Do your nuts hang low?
- Fake Elmo
Nuts or balls, Elmo? (I bet that gets said all the time)

Those would be far more impressive than the set dangling from the back of my pickup currently. Is there anything more classy than a scrotum hanging from the back of your car.

"Fondo Colanco is a private ranch that I visited on the day of the Spring castration. We watched about 30 bulls get snipped and then retired to a barn for the day. We stripped the balls from the scrota, taking them to a giant plow set over an open wood fire for searing in oil, garlic, and chiles before parking them between two homemade rolls for hand sandwiches. The scrota were sauteed...

- Josh Haley
Did you know that during the end credits of Borat, there is a picture like this, of a different woman in a similar hat cupping a bull's balls? I found that very interesting and now am trying to figure out what the real meaning of it all is.

the meaning is... wow, never felt balls like it... :P

You didn't, Morgan, but you brought up a Spanish variant in another thread.
- Derrick
yeah, and if you noticed, it was a joke that had nothing to do with you. so if you take things in other threads personally, especially when they are not offensive to anyone else in context, then I guess I need to apologize for everything I've ever posted because either I'm a fucking insensitive prick, or you are a bit too defensive about shit that was never directed at you in any way, shape or form. either way, if you were hurt by something i did or said, i sincerely apologize for that result.

Available in chipotle, green, habanero, garlic, and original flavors, each jug comes with the recipient's name (up to 20 characters) printed on the label, making it way more personal than the cases of smaller bottles available at the local warehouse club."

ZOMG, the roomie just sent me this pic, and I can't stop laughing. Vegas is the most kick back and chilled dog ever, so to see her "possessed" is KILLING me.
- Derrick
LOL. I forgot this was in my feed and I just started laughing like a fool again.
- Derrick
Mel, everytime I see it, I crack up. It's the total opposite of Vegas. I wonder sometimes if she's on Valium, she's so chill. Until you try and leave the house, anyway.

In fairness to the FBB, I've never seen an episode, but I have seen two ads where the white guy is rapping and it made me want to put my foot through my TV.
- Admiral Anika
I think I've heard of CD, but like...in a magazine or something.
- Derrick
Okay, I'm dying that you guys have never seen California Dreams. That's like...WOW! Everyone I know watched the show. It was like Sat. morning Friends...uh, with music and worse acting. =)
- Admiral Anika
CD was like, Saved By The Bell but worse, right?
- Andrew C
yeah, I don't know who any of these people are, but I'm guessing Zak and Slater would kick all their asses at the same time.
- Michael W. May
At my last job, there was 3 people who hadn't watched the show, but they were forgiven because they were much older than. Then this new girl came in and she didn't get the office-wide California Dreams references and people wondered if she was from another country or didn't have TV as a kid.
- Admiral Anika
I've never seen CD. To be honest, all of the Engel oeuvre runs together in my head, except for SBTB, I guess. And I've never even heard of FBB till now.
- Andrew C
California Dreams used to come on either before or after SBTB. But my favourite Peter Engel show was City Guys.
- cecily
oh, city guys!! damn. had forgotten about that.
- pea
I remember CD. Glad I am not the only one. Made it 10 seconds into FBB video on that site.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
Oh man. I remember City Guys, but I never watched it. I just made a run to the gas station and asked the cashiers if they remembered California Dreams. The guy started singing the theme song! The girl is too young.
- Admiral Anika
I finally saw The Fresh Beat Band this morning. They are playing it on Nickelodeon. And it is bad. Real bad.
- Michelle Martinez
Didn't it make you want to kick your TV? I've never seen the show, but the way-too-long ads/songs they play on the OnDemand shows....HULK SMASH!
- Admiral Anika
The JumpArounds. I am convinced that there is some sort of subliminal broadcast going on during this show. My daughter goes into a zombie-stare-like trance while this show is on. The ads for this show before the delay in releasing the show and then the infamous name change almost drove me to suicide. Thankfully, here its not on at primetime so we never really gets to see it. I want to knock that kid 'Twist' out. But ultimately its not their fault, we can thank nick jr. for that.
- Carlos Ayala
Oh my god. I used to watch California Dreams. I was hopelessly addicted to all those crap teen shows back in the day. (ask me about the fact that I actually own the one album put out by The Guys Next Door. ASK ME, I DARE YOU) And I think CD would win in a fight any day because all the characters were played by people in their 20's.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Wait, Carlos...they're no longer FBB? EDIT: The ad that just came on at the end of Backyardigans on the episode recorded on Monday called them FBB.
- Admiral Anika
They were first called The Jump Arounds.
- Carlos Ayala
OHHH! That makes more sense. Didn't think about it that way.

doc says i have a respiratory infection... are you supposed to feed those or starve them? All I want to do is lay in bed. :(

:( but damn if that hair doesn't look great! ;)
- Josh Haley
For infections: eat as much as you can, preferably in light - to mid hearty soups, this serves the dual purpose of keeping you nourished as well as keeping you hydrated to promote the cleanse of the infection. As well, drinking as much as you can, through teas, but preferably more vitamin enriched juices ~ these are dependent on how much you can hold down. & Hell yeahzz you are one put together invalid :))
- sofarsoShawn
Aww. :( Sorry you're not feeling well!! Hope it passes quickly.
- Laura H.
:-( I'm sorry you're not feeling well.
- vicster is...
@Josh, Shawn - fixed the hair to go to the doc when I was feeling significantly better (when it was mainly the sore throat)... by the time I got home I felt awful. Rest assured a few hours tossing in bed has wrecked the hair for sure!

"Slang is sabotaging language, with some teenagers unable to speak in any other way, say critics. So should it be banned in schools? From the Cockney rhyming calls of London's East End traders to teen speak, slang has always been part of Britain's rich and diverse language. But young people are increasingly unable to distinguish when it's appropriate to use it, say some linguists. Their language is becoming saturated by slang, leaving them ill-equipped to communicate in the wider world. Paul Kerswill, professor of sociolinguistics at Lancaster University, is studying street language in London. He says an entirely new dialect is emerging."

The same thing happens here in the States and you know what? I can't feel for a person who doesn't get time and place. Let them stay under their rocks. Meanwhile children whose parents have taught them better can proceed forward. You'd think by observation of other adults and just watching TV, that someone would pick up that a dialect or use of slang would be inappropriate.
- Admiral Anika
How the heck are you supposed to "ban" slang? I don't like a lot of coined words, either (don't get me started on "bling-bling" (shudder)), but how can anyone just control what people do or don't say? Sure, stop them from doing it in English class, but you can't stop it everywhere. As I think Anika was trying to say, parents and others just need to set a good example of good English for the kids. That definitely helped me out growing up and still today.
- Kamilah Gill
It just seems to me that English lessons need to teach when certain use of language is appropriate - not just slang and standard, but in various different situations... interviews, meetings, official communication with authorities, etc. Beyond that slang is one of the generators behind the development of a language, new words and phrases always filter across a language where appropriate.
- alphaxion
When I worked at the staffing agency, it was amazing to see people who came in for interviews slip into another language/dialect when they saw someone who looked like them. One time, one black guy was interviewing another and he said that the guy then proceeded to slip into ghetto slang with him during the interview. He cut the interview short and told the guy that there's no way he's placing him just because of that familiarity.

This is the time when we start readying holiday cards and postage, becoming particularly picky about which stamps to use with specific cards for specific personalities. Choosing the right stamp for the right card is a must when it comes to stationery. So we were in utter awe when we saw these postage stamps those lucky blokes and birds over the pond will soon be able to use upon their envelopes, printed with the legendary album designs from the likes of New Order, Blur, Bowie, the Stones. The Royal Mail will offer these set of ten 1st class stamps designed by Studio Dempsey to celebrate classic British album covers in 2010.

how do you know which house is yours when you come home schnockered? sheesh...look at these clones!
- Morgan Haley
I lived in a terraced house, that was in one long row, not even duplex like these. Nope, I never did try and get in the wrong house, although the neighbors almost called the police one night, when I came home three sheets to the wind, and stood there swearing loudly at myself because I couldn't get the key in the lock. I don't behave like that these days though.

very cool, i have a couple analog synths. This is real, unlike the new "analog's" every1 is trying to pass off as real (digital.)

closest thing i personally own these days is my Korg DW-8000 from 1986. digital oscillators but actual analogue VCFs and VCAs. i miss my old Sequential Circuits Six Trak, that thing was magical.
