I thought she did a fantastic job. I enjoyed it.

I'm ashamed to admit (but less so as I get older) that I really like Avril's music and always have. Great voice, catchy songs, and pretty face. What's not to like.

Don't know if it struck anyone else, but in this video she totally looks like Veronica Mars (aka. Kristen Bell and now aka. Elle in Heroes) who also happens to be a great singer.

I love hearing the chat log being read by him right back to them, it makes me "ell oh ell" each time.

Lyrics:

Pendant mes cours d' SVT en terminale
il y avait une fille assise à mes côtés
comme elle était femelle et que j'étais un mâle,
j'ai décidé d'en faire ma fiancée.
Mais n'ayant rien suivi de mes cours de bio
Pour me faire remarquer j'ai fait l'idiot:
Je me suis penché vers elle et j'ai déclaré
les mots suivants, un peu comme ils venaient:

Oh,tel un coccolitophoridé
coincé entre le tertiaire et le crétacé
les systoles de mon coeur affolé
m'ont fait comprendre que tu es ma dulcinée.

Elle m'a regardé d'un air ébahi, j'ai eu peur d'avoir dit une connerie.
Puis son visage d'un sourire éclatant,
me dévoila toutes ses belles dents.
Et quand l' prof aborda l'immunologie,
c'est sur un ton d'antigène, qu'elle me répondit:

Si toi tu es un coccolitophoridé
coincé entre le tertiaire et le crétacé, moi je suis un trilobite décédé
depuis au moins 200 millions d'années.

De toute évidence elle suivait mieux que moi
le peu de cours de bio auxquels j'étais là
Mais pendant qu'la classe dessinait les anticorps
je n'pouvais me résigner à oublier son corps,
alors réunissant mes quelques feuilles de SVT
je suis parvenu lui rétorquer:

le polyallélisme d'un gène s'exprime
par la diversité phénotypique des individus,
ces quelques mots,je les déclâme pour te dire que tu as les plus beaux yeux qu'j'ai jamais vu

Me regardant, elle a rigolé,
et m'a répondu sur un p'tit bout d'papier:

le polyallélisme d'un gène s'exprime
par la diversité phénotypique des individus,
ces quelques mots, je sais qu'tu les imprimes
et je compte bien de voir ce soir après le bahut.

Et nous baladant sur l'échelle stratigraphique,
faisant fi des temps géologiques
nos hypothalamus en ébulition
on a participé à l'évolution!

When I was in school,
There was a girl who sat next to me
Since she was female and I was male,
I decided to make her my fiancée.
But, having paid no attention to my biology class,
To make myself seen, I played the idiot.
I leaned towards her and declared
The following words, a little bit as they came to me

Oh, like a coccolithophorid
Stuck between the Tertiary and Cretaceous
The beating of my distraught heart
Made me understand that you were my girl

She looked at me, dumbfounded. I was afraid I had said something stupid
Then her face with a dazzling smile
Revealed to me all her beautiful teeth
And when the teacher addressed immunology
She responded to me, not at all shy:

If you are a coccolithophorid
Stuck between the Tertiary and the Cretaceous, then I am a trilobite dead
For at least 200 million years

Apparently, she followed better than I
The few biology classes that I attended
But while the class drew antibodies
I couldn't resign myself to forgetting her body
So putting together the few pieces of paper I had
I succeeded in replying:

Genetic polyallelism expresses itself
Through the phenotypic diversity of individuals
I ranted these few words to tell you that you have the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen

Looking at me, she laughed
And responded to me on a little piece of paper

Genetic polyallelism expresses itself
Through the phenotypic diversity of individuals
These few words, I know, will impress you
And I expect to see you this evening after class

And walking on the stratigraphic scale
Flouting geological time
Our hypothalamus boiling
We participated in evolution!

Regarding "5 to 10 times the interest you'd get in a bank", Qbert takes 4.5% interest on his no-limit money market account with PSECU, and over 5% on his Paypal balance (which he aggressively maintains).

Who here thinks John Stewart or any other eat-the-rich populist bellyacher shops around for a good rate? No, the guys who bellyache about how unfair the system is just refuse to accept that it is within their power to optimize their own experience.

Like it or not, the Fed system is designed not to protect the rich, but rather to maintain stability (and thus peace) in the world. It is perfectly within the power of our elected officials to tax *ell out of the top 2% to stimulate social mobility, and I'm all for that. Just as it's a traditional rightist canard to blame regulation for all societal ills, it's a traditional leftist canard to insist that someone or something must necessarily be to blame for the inequality that has always and will always exist in the world.

I don't want rich people shooting craps and poor people slaving. But the world resembled that dramatization even more BEFORE the Fed came to be.

Soooooomething somethiiiiiiiiing..

Ell oh ell.

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".

Pop culture occurrences

* The song is the source of the widespread provocative use of the phrase "Who's your daddy?", as popularized in the late 1980's and early 90's by syndicated radio shock jock "The Greaseman".

Fahhh-keen ell, mate.....

...fuckin'ell, is this what Sunday schools' like in the U.K.?....dude!

Now ladies of Videosift....this is what a healthy, fit, female should look like-they didn't have fast food joints on every corner, and magazines like ELLE (absolute rag,good photographers) and GLAMOUR (as if make-up tips will enhance yer well-being) to dictate health and beauty.

Notice how the average, acceptable for sponsors and mass-consuption ass size, is what most would consider too big nowadays. Real lookers on this talkie!
Choggie+Time Machine=What ever happened to that fella??

cops dont raid houses because chat rooms are invaded "ell oh ell"
