HELLO McFLY

[Daiichidoku]

reminds me of a certain Olympic sporting event

sorry, cant find a complete WAV for it, but this link has a sample WAV of it, and i have pasted complete transcript below

Newscaster (Eric Idle): And right now it's time for athletics and over to Brian Goebbels in Paris.

Goebbels (Terry Jones): Hello, well you join us here in Paris just a few minutes before the start of today's big event: The final of the Men's Being-Eaten-By-A-Crocodile event. I'm standing now by the crocodile pit,- Oh!

(crunching bones, French shouting, sirens)

Newscaster (Michael Palin): Ah. Well, I'm afraid that we've lost Brian Goebbels, so while they're, they're sorting that out, we have a report from Barry Loathsome in Loughborough on the British preparations for this most important...event.

Loathsome (Eric Idle): Here at Loughborough- the five young men chosen last week to be eaten by a crocodile for Britain this summer. Obviously, the most important part of the event is the opening sixty yard sprint towards the crocs and twenty-two year old Nottingham schoolteacher Gavin Worolowe is rated by some pundits not only the fastest but also the tastiest British morsel since Barry Gordon got a bronze at Helsinki. In charge of the team is Sgt. Major Harold Duke.

Duke (Terry Jones): Nahh, you not only got to get in that pit first, you gotta get eaten first. When you land in front of your croc and 'e opens his mouth, I want to see you right in there! Rub your 'ead up against 'is taste buds! And when those teeth bite into your flesh, use the perches to thrust yourself down his throat...

Loathsome: Duke's trained every British team since 1928, and it's his blend of gymnastic know how, reptilian expertise and culinary skill that's turned many an unappetizing novice into a crocodilic banquet.

Duke: Well, our chefs have been experimenting for many years to find the sauce most likely to tempt the crocodile. In the past, we've concentrated on a fish based sauce, but this year, we are reverting to a simple bernaise.

Loathsome: The British team are worried because Olympic regulations allow only the competitor's heads to be sauced. Kevin Worolowe...

Worolowe: Yes, well, I mean, (HACCCK!) you know, four years ago, everyone knew the Italians were coating the insides of their legs with bolognaise, the Russians have been marinating themselves, One of the Germans, Biolek, was actually caught putting, uh, remoulade down his shorts. And the Finns were using tomato flavored running shoes. Uh, I think there should either be unrestricted garnishing or a single, Olympic standard mayonnaise.

Loathsome: Gavin, does it ever worry you that you're actually going to be chewed up by a bloody great crocodile?

Worolowe: The only thing that worries me, Jim, is being the first one down that gullet.

Loathsome: Well, the way things are going here at Loughborough, it looks as though Britain could easily pick up a place in the first seven hundred. But nothing's predictable in this tough, harsh, highly competitive world where today's champion is tomorrow's crocodile shit. And back to you in the studio, Norman.

I'd use that as a sig quote, if I didn't like my current one so much!

What's hilarious is that comment was made in jest at your attitude about facts. You're so fucking stupid you didn't get it.

whats hilarious is that the comment had nothing to do with Slick at all, was your buddy Resdog expanding upon what Rube said (or directly commenting on the news item posted)

are you so fucking stupid you aren't getting it, or is this more typical Rugg making shit up out of thin air?

[Pudfark]

Wow, Daii....it's that kinda of post that leads to global warming and will exacerbate the premature demise of the polar bear....maybe, you should watch some "Whale Wars" and cool off.....

[Daiichidoku]

no need, i be

anyhow, the polar bears are ok, it's been learned that the grizzlies are gettin it on with the polars and there are small numbers of hybrid bruins running about

actually, the polars arent in great shape as a species, from deteriorating environment, and to a small extent, human encroachment. the latter is not the normal problem of humans denying living space or removing food resources, but that the bears adapt to human presence and exploit it as an easy source of food, from landfills/garbage dumps to residential pet/garbage pickin's...exposing the animals to more diseases, parasites, etc, and growing dependance on said resources, not good when the humans view you as a direct threat and take steps to remove said threat, without transportation in the equation

researchers have actually discovered grizzly/polar hybrids recently, it may be natures fix, time will tell
