I should thank you! Apparently, Last.fm's servers are down and I need something to listen to. I was just about to see what Chocolate City had up and your music tends to be along the same lines.
- Admiral Anika
That was great! I liked the last 5 songs the best. That last one was a great song to end on.
- Admiral Anika
The funny thing about this song is that the guitar, for whatever reason, reminds me of Beat It, so I always wind up with a strange mashup of the two songs.

Ain't yo mama pretty; she got meatballs on her titties; she got scrambled eggs between her legs; i took her to a party; she turned around and farted. I asked her why she did it. She turned around and shitted.
Don't ask me why this just popped into my head right now. Don't act like I'm the only one that used to sing this shit in elementary school either.

Now THAT one I've heard and sang. :) My old standby was always the Popeye the Sailor Man tune. Mainly because burning one's weiner was prime for giggles.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I'm Popeye Sailor Man. I live in a garbage can. I like to go swimmin with bowlegged women I'm popeye the sailor man!
- DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man...I live in a garbage can...I turned on the heater and burned off my weiner...I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! :D Mo knows where it's at. :D (there was also another verse "I turned on the gas and burned off my ass")

Our rockin' robin: "Mama's in the kitchen, burning rice. Daddy's on the corner shootin' dice. Brother's in jail, raisin hell. Sister's on the corner selling fruit (cup your breast) cock (cover your privates) tail (shake your booty). Rockin' Robin." I can't believe I sang that when I was 6. LOL

*dead* that was one of our rockin' robin verses too.

I fear I have had quite a boring childhood. LOL@Rockin Robin!

jlt-Janet: This is the version I heard when young: "Hilter's only got one ball the other's in the Free trade Hall, his brother, the dirty bugger, Chopped it off when he was small." There's a Wiki entry for this one! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- WorldofHiglet
WoH, I never heard that one!!! I am seriously ready to sue my parents for the rich teachings I have missed out on! I am laughing at all these songs/poems. All I remember is itsy bitsy spider at the moment, no x-rated version either.

oh janet, these are not songs parents teach kids. these are songs kids teach each other... then you find out when you're 30 and grown that your mom used to say the same dirty stuff when *she* was a kid.... lol

Yeah, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game. You said "$100 to the first person" implying that at least one will eventually get it. You're out the $100 anyway, presumably, if anyone gets it at all, so why discriminate against those who are actively participating in your thread?

I don't like this... but think about it - Facebook was becoming quite like FriendFeed. However, Facebook is CLOSED, what I like about FriendFeed is being able to interact with lots of people that I haven't met IRL. I don't want these discussions to be taking place among my high school mates and coworkers.

If Facebook effs up FriendFeed, someone else will build the same functionality. But I doubt FB will screw with it to the point they wreck it. 47 million is a lot of money, they won't be willy nilly with it.

Please explain to me how Weird Al is in anyway relevant? Seriously? While Mr Blunt may be pulling a d-bag maneuver but at least it spares me from having to listen to hackneyed parody songs
- Ryan Tiffany
I don't think Blunt if being a d-bag actually. I think It's a fair call to make. Kind of like a creative commons license. You can fuck with my song, but not for profit.

As for Weird Al... I didn't download the song, I don't own any of his albums, but I always get a good laugh out of his gimmicks even now-a-days. That's relevancy to me.

We usually refer to coriander as the seeds and cilantro as the plant.
- Admiral Anika
Anika is right. I use coriander in my beer, not cilantro.
- Ben Hanten
Depends where you are in the world I guess. In India, we refer to them as coriander (leaves) and coriander seeds. In most Indian languages, "kothambari" - the leaves.
- Kamath (नमः)
Further reading in the Wikipedia article echos what is being said above: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... The leaves are the part called cilantro, whereas the fruits are coriander.
- CAJ, somewhere else
I've long suspected that this was the case - and now the matter is finally resolved. I love coriander, in just about anything, but I wasn't so sure about cilantro, that sure is a funny way to pronounce Kory Anda -/

I love watching Nigella - I could eat her with coriander or cilantro - or both.

Hint to getting started again with crunches: do 20, stretch, do 15, stretch, do 10, stretch, do 5. You've knocked out 50. If you start at 30 and work your way down you'll do 105.
was about to say the same thing geoff.. pushups also give the core muscles a good going over too :)
- alphaxion
I read this quick and thought you said "crutches" for a second.
- Rachel Lea Fox
from iPhone
Also: I can barely get out 20 standard pushups at this point anyways, decline pushups are not currently an option.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Geoff: any exercise is bad for some other part of your body if done in bad form. When doing crunches one must keep in mind that they're targeting their abs therefore keeping them engaged. Also if the abs are what one is strengthening, other forms of exercise should be emloyed targeting the surrounding muscles such as the obliques and even the glutes, in addition to targeting the different abdominal muscles (i.e., lower and upper).
- April Buchheit
from iPhone
I'll take pretty much any other damage over back damage if I am forced to choose.
- Geoff Schultz
Geoff, fwiw I did crunches all through my overactive youth and never once had a back issue. Knees, ankles, and wrists? All of 'em hurt. But never once an issue with my back. Like anything it's got to be slowly and with proper form (and with the knowledge that you have to work the opposing muscle group to keep strength balanced).
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
pushups instead of situps? Is today opposite day?
