Very good ep-
"National pornographic" and the fox stock going down twice (-60 then -80) were only 2
of the good moments-nice to see MOM again too.

Overall, I really liked this episode. The Pat Buchanan joke was
brilliant. I was in college in the early 80's and I saw more than my
share of aspiring 80's guys.

It was very similar. It's a variation of the basic wheel shaped space
station, which has been around for a long time. If I recall correctly,
it was first suggested by Von Baun.

I thought the 'pun' was funny:
"Help Prevent Stock Market Crashes
by driving safely"
And who else is gonna by 'Soylent Beans'?
I also liked the scene where Fry mooned Mom cause it reminds me of some
of my favourite taunt macros I was using in Descent 1 multiplayer (gosh,
the memories). I planned to use a phrase similar to 'you just got
vaporized' and used 'you just got Mooned' simply because this happened
to by my nick. Took some time till someone actually let me in on what
the phrase really ment... but as a taunt it really work like a charm ;)
BTW, DYN that the version of Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance" hummed
by the 80's guy actually did not appear to be the original version?
Instead it sounded very much like intro of the 'original aussie
version' which is more like a dance remix of the original pop song.
Curiously enough a lot of 80's compilations I've seen only do have the
remix so maybe it was kinda popular and you in the US might not have
heard the other version at all.
Another thing: what does the shape of the Momcorp ship remind you of? It
kinda rings the bell but I just don't get it...

=v= I remember when that song was released in the U.S., and it
was always a version with that particular melodic hook. I don't
think I've ever heard the original Aussie version! Presumably,
neither did Fry nor That Guy.

Definately. One of the things I've always liked is the way Scruffy
appears in random episodes and is used to make some crucial decision, then
vanishes and isn't mentioned again. IIRC, he also died the way he lived
(lying on a cot reading an issue of Gigantic Asses ;)
The Pat Buchannan vote was also one of the highlights, as was the 1984
commercial. And the "last thing a delivery company should be concerned
with is deliveries. It's all about the brand." Quite fitting humor for
the dot com era we just exited.

No kidding! I rewatched last night. Another thing I Loved:
Farnsworth's Planet Express business plan, which he kept close to his
heart. (the organ was in a jar, in a desk drawer, and the plan was an
escape plan, not a biz plan. ;) "So long suckers!"

There's a commercial with a "motivational speaker" does a similar
routine.
"You've got to think outside the box. change the 'pair uh dig um' "
When it first aired, his idiotic pronunciation of paradigm reminded me
of Zapps 'sham pag in' instead of Champaign.
Then this episode made fun of the same cliche. Incredible.

I think this is a pure coincidence but there was an american airline
commercial about 10 years ago where some ppl where boarding a plane. On
their way to it they met a lot of airline ppl while paying the tickets,
checking in the suitcases and stuff. And whenever they turned away the
workers laughed their asses off and said "sucker" cause they obviously
payed too much since they weren't using that airline that did the
commercial.
In the last scene they show one of those guys who put the suitcases into
the plane (dunno the correct term) and he ways his hand and shouts "So
long suckers!".
It's sometimes weird to see what kind of trivia stuff gets stuck on your
mind...

You bet!
I temporarily uploaded the two versions on crappy but still audible 64
kbit to my subdomain on nncyonline.de:
http://moon.nnyconline.de/stuff/men_without_hats-the_safety_dance.mp3
1.2 MB, this is the Album version that was popular in Germany.
http://moon.nnyconline.de/stuff/men_without_hats-the_safety_dance_
(original_aussie_version).mp3
2.5 MB, this is the other version which also was released as the 12"
version in Germany. And only this version has that particular melodic
hook the 80's guy was humming, it starts at 23 seconds into the song.

I believe it's "Par uh dim", but I have heard it pronounced "par uh
dime" as well. I think they are both correct. The 'g' is definitely
silent.
>Anyway, Curley (of the Three Stooges) once said at

I think it was an episode called "The Hoi Polloi". It was a parody of
Pigmallion / My Fair Lady (minus the music).

My spell checker let that slide for some reason. It may have seen that
I capitalized it and assumed it was a proper name. Which Champagne is.

If you've seen "That 70's Show" they have a sequel called "That 80's
show".
If you get the chance, tape it. Then erase the tape, tape something
else over it and throw it away. It's not funny because the 80's
weren't funny.
That 70's Show is pretty good though.

In American English, it is most definitely "pair uh dime."

It's "champagne." "Champaign" is a city in Illinois. (University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.)
Larry
Yeah, I spelled it wrong, but I can't imagine that I spelled it
Champaign. So, I am going to blame the spell checker for that putting
in.
