Atlas, that Mandelbrot set is groovy.
Yeah I loved the Young Ones.

Some Rik (the peoples' poet) quotes:

"Well, if I'm a virgin, how come I know what a girl's bottom looks like??"

"We did everything....At one stage she even took her bra off!"

"Oh, God! Oh, God, I've killed a hippie! I've killed a hippie, and now I'll have to pay. Oh, God. Vyvyan's bound to tell on me, and I'll get sent to prison and raped in the shower by Mr. Big who's in with the wardens."

A couple of Rik's poems:

Pollution
all around
sometimes up
sometimes down
But always around
Pollution
are you coming to my town
or am I coming to yours?
We're on different buses, pollution
but we're both using petrol
BOMBS

What do you think you're doing, Pig?
Do you really give a fig, Pig?
And what's your favourite type of gig, Pig?
Barry Manilow?
Or the Black and White Minstrel Show?

Blatantly the funniest ever bit from the Young Ones is when the policeman, wearing dark glasses, creeps up on the bloke who has just rung the doorbell and says something along the lines of "hold on a minute, Mr. Darko-nasty-sambo-coon, that's white man's electricity you're using there"

The Young Ones? This is like a trip down memory lane, but yes it was very funny. I always found the 'University Challenge' episode very amusing.

Peabody - I think your avatar from Shrek 2 is brilliant, as it always reminds me of that hysterical scene as the cat plays the 'cute & innocent look'.

Sadken - I preferred your Alan Partridge avatar, my favourite 'chat show host'. I remember somebody asking Alan what was his favourite Beatles Album, he thought about this for a while ... and then replied "The Best of the Beatles."

Anyway avatars are your own choices, it's a free country (actually it's not, as I'm in China).

Atlas--Your current avatar looks like Moonraven's prefrontal cortex. You steal her PET scan from her homeopath's office?

I chose mine because it is a little reminder of my home country of Canada. I also love the mountains.

Mines from the movie "Wet Hot American Summer" which, if anyone has seen, you know is the funniest movie ever made. I'm thinking of changing it soon though... been using this for awhile.

I'll second (or third, or fourth) that The Daily Show is the best source for American news. In Canada they show it on CTV (one of the channels you don't even need cable to watch ). It's sad that a fake news show is a better source for news than all the "real" news organizations, but I'm certianly not complaining.

And Spinoza, way to steal my signature quote! Actually I just changed mine ten minutes ago and now see you were already using it. SHIT!

Om-man. Your avatar looks more like Darkside Of The Moon. A title which would be appropriate for many of the postings by a certain regular to this forum. Can anyone guess who?
The University Challenge episode (it was also the one where Motorhead played Ace Of Spades in the living room) of the Young Ones was excellent. Remember this?
' Crop rotation in the fourteenth century was considerably more widespread after "John"?'

Rick: Vyvyan, would you stop being so sexist? they're called bre@sts, and everybody has them.
Vyvyan: Well, I don't.
Rick: Yes, and nor did Adolf Hitler! *snort*

Rick: This house will become a shrine! And punks and skins and Rastas will all gather round and all hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader! And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"

Apologies to those who don't know what the hell I'm going on about.
( I cannot fathom why "bre asts" would be *beeped*. What is happening to us? From now on I will refer to bre asts as " devil's dumplings")

I still prefer "devil's dumplings". And that joke is Jurassic, Chris.
