'woooowh!' Ask your local dealer for toll-fre*..."

Actually they'd also need an audience behind it that would cheer and act
all giddy, as if we were watching a home video of a party where everyone
was having TOO MUCH FUN, ALL THE TIME...

Try this:

Also, I fixed where you misspelled "emacs".

The thing about the Macarena is this: it seems to be the White version


of the snow "Come on and ride it." Of ALL the STUPID songs that
"choo-choo" song as got to be up there...and yet the Macrarena with

Oh yeah? My aunt went to high school with David Spade, and is still
friends with him today. There is a fair chance they may have boinked, but
tact prevents me from asking specifically.

For those of you who are thinking, "Are you KIDDING?", remember that not
every man and woman who have met, are friends, or have even dated, have
had sex. Especially when the guy is a scrawny little geek whom even I
could probably beat up.

According to her, all of the circa-17th-season cast members of SNL were
practically dwarfs except Kevin Nealon. I also had the tact not to ask
wherher she thought I could beat up David Spade, but I think it's a much
safer bet than whether she slept with him. Rumor has it that shortly
after he made those comments that the Encyclopedia Britannica kid needed a
serious beating, the EB kid showed up at his dressing room and took a
swing at him, and NBC security was all that separated David Spade from
thousands of dollars worth of reconstructive surgery.

Not that I want to beat up David Spade. There are members of the SNL
staff who deserve it much more, but they're all bigger than me. But
still, when my grades are suffering and my TV is on the fritz, and I'm
strnaded on the other side of town when the buses stop running, there's
always the thought that I could beat up the Hollywood Minute guy. And so
could you.

For those of you who are thinking, "Did they DO IT?", I don't know, I

Which is German for "Do-Bee dance."

I see Tommy, and Michael, and three Cindys, and Mary, and Jeff, and
Richard, and Tammy, and Brenda, and Susie, and Frank...

Actually, what disillusioned me about "Romper Room" was the day Miss
Sally said "Yes, ducks DO say the Pledge of Allegiance. We just can't

Yeah, well tell your aunt to tell Spade that I think that he and Chris
Farley are the heirs to the "Three Stooges Throne of Physical Comedy".

I watched "Black Sheep" last Thursday, and while it was a stinky, stinky
movie, in conjunction with "Tommy Boy", I'd say that all they have to
do is find a good "Moe", and they're a shoe-in.

I'd really have to put my money on the Encyclopedia Britannica kid. There was
a long-awaited EB Kid / Fred Savage grudge match a few years back and although
Fred technically won (if you call beating the piss out of someone winning,
which I do) the Kid (who's Stan Freberg's son, by the by) got some good hits
in and at one point even bashed Fred's head with that six-volume reference set
you get for free when ordering your life away. However, it was Fred who
reigned in the end, pummeling the EB Kid's breadbasket while hollering "I GOT
YER GODDAMN REPORT DUE ON SPACE RIGHT HERE, PAL!"

Truly awe-inspiring, and I bet you wish you had been there.

I think the kid's Stan Freberg's grandson, not son...Freberg was a radio
voice actor as far back as the late 1940s.

Anyway, such bloodlines would make him a more formidable competitor than
you might think. He certainly would inherit a lot more cleverness and
sense of humor than Fred Savage could ever muster. The sense of humor
doesn't work in combat but the cleverness would make a difference.

Fred must have won by cheating.

He was chatting about what he was doing when he dove off the podium into a
mosh pit and started beating up photographers. OSLT.

Speaking of Aged Republicans, however, I saw about 25 seconds of news
footage of General Colin Powell doing the Macarena (Really!) in Scottsdale
Arizona, which is about an hour north of Perth. He was doing it sort of
on a dare, is what I understand, sort of a how-far-will-this-guy-go to
keep the Boy And Grrrls Club members in school.

My pleasure. Bob Dole is using the term "liberal" in an entirely new
meaning. In this context, "liberal" means 1. shallow, hedonistic,
indecent; and 2. something I wish I could do with sexy Mexican chyks .

To differentiate this meaning from the other two, I will spell this
word as "LiBeRaL."

Bob Dole is "bending over backwards" to appeal to young voters.

Stage diving, lewd dance references...in two months we'll see him in
bell bottoms and love beads, wearing his tie like a headband, slapping
Liddy on the ass with one hand while he smokes a joint with the other.

Ironically, if Bob actually did this, he would win...<G>

Solution to "The Case of the Spotted Spatula"

Encyclopedia Brown knew that Bugs couldn't be telling the truth, since he
had claimed that the phone number had "seven digits." Encyclopedia knew
that phone numbers always begin with the name of the exchange, followed by
five digits!

Trapped in his own lie, Bugs Meany confessed to stealing the catcher's mitt.

As a additional data point, they may like to consider that the
Macarena has yet to enter .uk political discourse, and that
the 'third force' in british politics are the Liberal Democrats.

Well the proves it then, it takes a great deal of cleverness

No problem. Bob Dole was saying that people who do that phunky Mexican

in both economic and moral intervention by government.

Thinking about this, would he not be using "liberal" as a synonym
for evil and decadent (sp?) here?

Or maybe he meant libertine, or libidinous, and his mind's so
concentrated on campaign invective that any word that starts with
"lib" comes out of as "liberal".

Somebody needs to ask him about libraries.

Or libel actions.

Did he volunteer this opinion, or was it pulled out of him with
pliers? Does this qualify as a gaff in America? it probably would
here.

So the campaign slogan is "it's the Macarena stupid"?

No there is and I knows because our very own treasurer did it on
NATIONAL TV. (ok we're not that high tech the tape had to flown to all
the two-bit broadcasting stations) If any of youse have any trouble
visualising what Aussie conservatives look like doing the Macarena try
to imagine a balding, chunkier version of Bob Dole minus a few teeth.

You know I've never heard it pronounced that way accept by Hollywoodian's
trying to fake a British accent [as if a generalised British accent isn't
just as stupid a concept as I suspect a generalised American accent is],
or some scion of Royalty - and *everyone* knows said scions talk right
WEIRD - the most common pronounciation is I feel more like "biskgit",
unless used by a relation trying to stuff you with food until you burst,
then it's a "bikkie".

Pronounce in the same manner that the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street
says cookie.

My theory with biscuits is to always buy/bake the types that nobody eats,
then they last FOREVER. Which saves a great deal of money in the
long run.

My theory is to eat the ones I like as quickly as possible. My

Well, GK has her paws on many powerful people, from George Bush to

(of the USA) to take a stand against Goodbye Kitty is the noble Richard
Nixon. He sided with Hello Kitty and he paid for it. The media was

Well, the alternative hypothesis would be that the term still means
"favoring individual liberty". Which would explain why the two largest
U.S.A. political parties wish to deny any connection to liberal sentiments.
However, this hypothesis supposes that the parties are being honest
about their motivations; so it is obviously wrong.

Now, see, where I come from, we don't ever do the Macarena. Now here's
why. See, I find this fascinating. Now you can't do the Macarena to Patsy
Cline. I have a chart here, I made this chart myself, this here's my

the interest on the debt. That's half of the whole Macarena. Half. All the
way up to where the hands go on the hips. Now that's your Macarena we're
talking about, yours and mine. The Democrats blame the Republicans, the
Republicans blame the Democrats, but nobody's saying what I'm saying,
which is that we have to run this Macarena like a business. And that's
why if the people voted their conscience, I'd be your President today.

Sorry, but when I read your sig I get the following:

Andrew, I love Canadians. They can talk about politics all they wantS.
And no matter how liberal they are I just can't bring myself, Damick,
to care.

I assume "Damick" is a misspelling of "Dammit, Jim!"

Depends on the event. There's Indoor and Cross-country versions.

There's a Beach version, too, but only here in Austria.

We really tried to bring ourselves Damick, but it never happened.
And we applied liberal, even generous, amounts of olive oil and
barbeque sauce, as per instructions. Nada.

So we snuck in a vote on the last local election, and annexed
our WHOLE STATE to Raleigh. I love the weather here, Andy, and
especially now that it's autumn. We just never got such good
fall colors in the leaves when we were stuck in the midsouthwest.
