Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The greatest Downfall parody of them all :

:hmm:

What's the point of blocking the parodies now? As this particular parody says, it's difficult to say where Constantin has been materially harmed by these shorts. All that's happened is that awareness of the film has been raised.

Is Downfall itself any good?  Never seen the movie, only the parody clips.

The trouble with the world, generally speaking, is it has no sense of humour. Pulling the Hitler parody, annoying as it was getting, proves that point.

The last hour is pretty good. The next time it's on TV I intend to watch the lot, rather than deciding not to watch it earlier in the day and then channel hopping to it in sheer desperation... :)

Quote from: Razgovory on April 21, 2010, 10:13:09 AMJust a warning.  I'm going through an insane period right now.  I had nightmares about tigers and pulling my own teeth out and that's always a bad sign.

Sounds worse than the dreams where they just fall out on their own

The dream is always the same.  I'm chewing a big wad of gum but it becomes stuck to my teeth.  So I'm pulling out handfuls of gum and I keep taking out teeth at the same time.  And tiger and lion dreams always bother me.  That and I dream about the girl I had a crush on in high school which usually gets me down.  After that I come on to Languish and take it out on Tim and call Berkut a racist.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I had a dream I went back in time to Memorial Stadium in Baltimore to see Orioles & Colts games (which seemed to be on the same day).  It was kinda creepy.

It's my second favourite Nazi movie. My favourite being Helga: She Wolf of the SS.

One of the better hitler vids survived the purge. So far.

Why would you wish that upon anyone? :x
