Che Guevera was a great man by any measure.

The "murderous thugs" were the kind of assholes that you support, QM. The kind of guys who would roll into a village and kill anybody that they suspected might someday challenge their authority and rule.

You pick on the weak and bow to the strong.

Gramps was a murderous thug. She should be a-CHE-med of herself.

LOL, don't exploit animals, but it's OK to exploit and objectify women, and make a mockery of a peoples' revolution!

Quit yer Stalin, and tell us what you really think!

Approche-toi petit, écoute-moi gamin,
Je vais te raconter l'histoire de l'être humain
Au début y avait rien au début c'était bien
La nature avançait y avait pas de chemin
Puis l'homme a débarqué avec ses gros souliers
Des coups d'pieds dans la gueule pour se faire respecter
Des routes à sens unique il s'est mis à tracer
Les flèches dans la plaine se sont multipliées
Et tous les éléments se sont vus maîtrisés
En 2 temps 3 mouvements l'histoire était pliée
C'est pas demain la veille qu'on fera marche arrière
On a même commencé à polluer le désert

Il faut que tu respires, et ça c'est rien de le dire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire

D'ici quelques années on aura bouffé la feuille
Et tes petits-enfants ils n'auront plus qu'un oeil
En plein milieu du front ils te demanderont
Pourquoi toi t'en as 2 tu passeras pour un con
Ils te diront comment t'as pu laisser faire ça
T'auras beau te défendre leur expliquer tout bas
C'est pas ma faute à moi, c'est la faute aux anciens
Mais y aura plus personne pour te laver les mains
Tu leur raconteras l'époque où tu pouvais
Manger des fruits dans l'herbe allongé dans les prés
Y avait des animaux partout dans la forêt,
Au début du printemps, les oiseaux revenaient

Il faut que tu respires, et ça c'est rien de le dire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire
Il faut que tu respires, c'est demain que tout empire
Tu vas pas mourir de rire, et c'est pas rien de le dire

Le pire dans cette histoire c'est qu'on est des esclaves
Quelque part assassin, ici bien incapable
De regarder les arbres sans se sentir coupable
A moitié défroqués, 100 pour cent misérables
Alors voilà petit, l'histoire de l'être humain
C'est pas joli joli, et j'connais pas la fin
T'es pas né dans un chou mais plutôt dans un trou
Qu'on remplit tous les jours comme une fosse à purin

If they came in the same box, would they be a DUO-che?

/nothin.

I actually saw a comment somewhere on the web that mis-wrote "contradictory" as "contra dictionary". No joke. I laughed so hard. I just had visions of Che Guevara and Noah Webster getting together to start a revolution.

I've also seen "all intents and purposes" written as "all intensive purposes".
Ahh, the internet! it's so intense!

J'aimerais écrire des mots d'amour
Parce que parler c'est pas mon fort.
J'aimerais écrire des mots d'amour,
Les faire jaillir de mes trois accords, mais
J'ai un peu froid, comme a dit l'autre,
Et ce long frisson qui n'en finit pas.
J'ai un peu froid, mauvais apôtre,
Mon cafard me lâche moins souvent qu'autrefois.

J'aimerais écrire des mots d'amour
Parce que le reste, c'est pas grand-chose.
Je l'ai appris et à mon tour
Je te le livre un peu ; je te propose
De laisser le long du discours
Nos contentieux et les comptes à rebours,
D'oublier le temps d'un refrain
Ce bon vieux réflexe ; moi j'en garde pour demain.

Des mots pour toi mais que je n'dis pas.
Ceux-là.

Quel était le refrain du jour ?
Si je l'oublie, je cède encore.
J'aimerais écrire des mots d'amour,
Jeter l'éponge, un peu, tenter le sort.
Une pause ici pour poser là,
Entre deux conflits, entre deux coups d'éclat.
Une pause pour dire autour de moi,
Mon ami, mon frère, mon amour, écoute-moi.

Insightful comments from both of them.

What's up with the constantly hard-line left wing video titles on here? Is videosift run by a bunch of che t-shirt wearing communist wannabes who take out their un-slaked thirst for vengeance against our capitalistic system by posting snarky titles questioning Glenn Beck's sanity?

(Yeah, yeah, I know its the submitter that probably came up with the title, but it's still a very annoying trend on the Sift.)

Ingredients

4 tbsp Olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
8 large garlicky Sausages
200g wild boar bacon or pancetta, diced
1/2 fennel bulb, finely chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
1 tsp Thyme, chopped
1 tsp redcurrant jelly
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
450ml chicken stock
410g tinned green lentils
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 tbsp crème fraiche


Method

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a saucepan and add the onions and garlic. Fry gently over a medium heat.

2. While the onions and garlic are cooking, heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan and fry the sausages for 5-10 minutes, until browned on all sides. Cut into bite-sized chunks and pile into a casserole dish. Set aside.

3. Add the pancetta, fennel, carrot, and celery into the saucepan with the onion and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the thyme, then add to the casserole with the sausages.

4. Stir the redcurrant jelly and balsamic vinegar into the chicken stock and pour into the casserole with the sausages. Bring to the boil and then add the lentils. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the lentils are tender.

5. Mix the crème fraîche and wholegrain mustard together in a small bowl.

6. To serve, spoon the casserole into a large serving dish and drizzle over the mustard crème fraîche.

It's spelled "Crème fraîche" folks

Just tried this, pretty darn tasty. I substituted the crème fraîche for some creamy garlic and herb cheese, worked great. Thanks A_C

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor#Trivia, it's been used in;

The "Lucia Sextet" (Chi mi frena in tal momento?) was recorded in 1908 by Enrico Caruso, Marcella Sembrich, Antonio Scotti, Marcel Journet, Barbara Severina, and Francesco Daddi, (Victor single-sided 70036) and released at the price of $7.00, earning it the title of "The Seven-Dollar Sextet". The film The Great Caruso incorporates a scene featuring a performance of this sextet.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody is best known to some from its use by the American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges in their short films Micro-Phonies and Squareheads of the Round Table, sung in the latter with the lyrics "Oh, Elaine, can you come out tonight...." But the melody is used most dramatically in Howard Hawks' gangster classic "Scarface": Tony Camonte (Paul Muni) whistles "Chi mi frena?" in the film's opening sequence, as he guns down a ganglord boss he has been assigned to protect.

It has also been used in Warner Brothers cartoons: Long-Haired Hare, sung by the opera singer (Bugs Bunny's antagonist); Book Revue, sung by the wolf antagonist; and in Back Alley Oproar, sung by a choir full of Sylvesters, the cat.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody also figures in two scenes from the 2006 film The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese. In one scene, Jack Nicholson's character is shown at a performance of "Lucia di Lammermoor", and the music on the soundtrack is from the sextet. Later in the film, Nicholson's cell phone ringtone is the sextet melody.

The Sextet is also featured during a scene from the 1986 comedy film, The Money Pit.

In the children's book "The Cricket in Times Square," Chester Cricket chirps the tenor part to the "Lucia Sextet" as the encore to his farewell concert, literally stopping traffic in the process.

An aria from the "mad scene," "Il dolce suono" (from the 3rd Act), was re-popularized when it was featured in the film The Fifth Element in a performance by the alien diva Plavalaguna (voiced by Albanian soprano Inva Mula-Tchako and played onscreen by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco). A loose remake of this film version of the song was covered by Russian pop singer Vitas.

The "mad scene" was also used in the first episode of the anime series Gankutsuou (in place of L'Italiana in Algeri which was the opera used in that scene in The Count of Monte Cristo).

The "mad scene" aria, as sung by Inva Mula-Tchako, was used in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent involving the murder of a young violinist by her opera singer mother (who performs the song right after the murder).

The "mad scene" was released as a music video by Russian male soprano Vitas in 2006.

Among other selections from the opera, the "mad scene", "Verranno a te sull'aure", and "Che facesti?" feature prominently in the 1983 Paul Cox film Man of Flowers, especially "Verranno a te sull'aure," which accompanies a striptease in the film's opening scene.

The opera is mentioned in the novels The Count of Monte Cristo, Madame Bovary and Where Angels Fear to Tread and was reputedly one of Tolstoy's favorites.

"Regnava nel silenzio" accompanies the scene in Beetlejuice in which Lydia (Winona Ryder) composes a suicide note.

A portion of the opera is also used in a key scene of the film The Fifth Element, written and directed by Luc Besson.

shm ow wee. Started with "smiley" then changed to "shmiwee" but the half-deaf skipper called me Schmawy so that's what stuck. I might have failed at spelling it.

My pleasure to promote. I loved it. It's not often that classical clips seem too short.
