Nov. 16th, 2005 10:04 pmRainy today. We're scheduled to be connected to internet on Friday. (edit: obviously, didn't happen)
The Tale of Prince Ichi is now ready to be uploaded along with the updates to Schizo.
The Black Cat Info Page is also ready to go up. (Huzzah)
Vocabulary Words:
Chilly Bin - 'Cooler' in US, 'Eski' in Oz.
Buzz Bars - Marshmallow rectangle with a layer of caramel, coated in chocolate. Can sometimes buy them with Chocolate Fish. Yum!
Cluedo - Different name for the game of 'Clue' in US.
"Dub Dub Dub" - Spoken for 'WWW' for urls.
Saw a Dancing Competition on TV today. It's absolutely hysterical. Imagine sports commentary - to Jazz and Salsa dancing.
"She's falling asleep, Oh! And she's awake again!"
I'm not usually one for Quiz Shows, but there's one called 'Snatch our Booty' that's absolutely wonderful. You've got two guys, Oscar and Nate, who have 'The Booty' that people try to win by being smarter than them. There's different segments to the show, the Quick Quiz (answer questions as fast as you can), the Ring Tones (you have to identify the song from the ring tone, it's not always easy) the Rasta (last week was 'Pasta') Mon segment, where you have to answer with an accent and wearing a funny hat. There's the Ringer Round, where someone gets to win a third person for their team, a Ringer. Last week it was an actor from hamburger commercials, this week was a member of Parliament. (can't remember his name, he of the massive dreads, Green Party, known for wanting to legalise pot. Neat guy.)
Sample Question, from their 'Games with James' segment:
James: "If I'm wearing this (blonde) wig, standing next to this broken car in Auckland, how long is it going to take before someone stops to help me?"
-it took 11 minutes 18 seconds before a tow truck driver did. (last week it was how long would it take for him to stop after he bungie-jumped off a bridge)
It should be noted that James was not in drag. However, he did try wiggling his ass. *snickers* (no, I won't describe it, you pervs.)
An object on a memory game: Poo on a plate. Ewww.
Most of the questions have to do with New Zealand, so I suck on a lot of them. But I'm learning! I like the fact that they have 'Booty-ettes', three women on stage in formal dress who sing jingles for each of the different segments.
It's just a very clever and fun show. And even if you don't win the Booty, you still get a shirt that says 'I Lost to Nate and Oscar'. Or something like that. Seems like everyone has a fun time on it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERO-OBAACHAN!!! XD XD XD *Loves!*
