I think those types should be forced to fight rogue bears with a Swiss Army Knife...

Sounds like something my uncle would do.

In Scotland bears aren't allowed to carry Swiss Army Knives.

Rebecca Black's Day:

1.Wakes up with make up already on

2.Goes downstairs and sings about eating cereal but never gets it

3.Sings about being in a rush but just stands there

4.Goes down to catch the bus but instead ditches school to go to a party with her friends

5.Asks which seat she should take when there's only one left

6.13 year olds drive her to a party with no seatbelts on in the car

7.And at end the night, some creepy black guy comes to get her in his van

Random story....and a little bit of shame on my part.

I spent either $0.99 or $1.29 (can't remember which) to download "Friday" from Itunes (shame) to use in my edit.  And here's the random part: The rap is missing.  It's just gone.  Why?  Did they realize how randomly weird it is?

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.  I wanted to take it out anyway, so I had to make a slightly awkward edit to remove it in the movie, but that problem solved itself.

Weird.

They must be witches.

If anyone is now considering humane traps for mice/etc., whatever you do DON'T BY GLUE TRAPS!

I don't use them for mice.   I use them for these big hopping bugs(I'm really not sure what kind of insect they are) that we keep getting in our basement.   We need the sticky traps, if we didn't use them, and spray for them, we'd be overrun with them.   Unfortunately, one mouse did get struck in one, a few years back.   I felt guilty about that.  I didn't even know we had a mouse in our house that time.  By the time I discovered it, there was nothing I could, except hit it repeatedly with a heavy object, in order to end its suffering.   The traps we have set for the mice, are the kind that kill quickly.   I have no desire to make a mouse suffer. 

Deja Glue (warning it's a bit icky and spoilers for non Elm-Street fans).

I was looking at some of Ark's other videos last night, and I realized all they are doing are letting rich parents pay them to autotune their kids who can't sing.

Autotune: the crutch of choice for the talentless.

Google Music is pretty amazing.  20,000 song limit with no space specifications.  Uploading 16,667 songs from my library... May take a while, but totally worth it (and totally free to boot!).

Glad you said something. I was approved for Google Music Beta a month or so back, I forgot about it until you said something. All of my music (18,000+ songs) is on my home office computer, which is a desktop I rarely ever turn on. Since I always use my laptop in the comfort of my couch in the living room, my old self-built desktop from 2004 just gathers dust...and stores music. Anyhow, when you posted it reminded me I had to go through the rigmarole of firing up my desktop, updating Firefox and everything else, downloaded the Google Music program, and starting it to uploading my collection (which does include Johnny Cash singing in German and Conway Twitty singing in Russian, why yes, I am an avid vintage country music collector). I also have very rare Johnny Cash singing "Folsom Prison Blues" in high tenor, it sucks, but it's fascinating to hear a true musical genius experimenting with his voice. I also have Gene Autry singing "smut songs", very intriguing and neat to listen to if you have any childhood involving Gene Autry.

Never heard of it.

Now I have: "We're sorry. Music Beta is currently only available in the United States"

Kind of the next big thing in music, I perceive. I have about 80GB of music and a 32GB iPhone, making my iPhone useless for transporting my entire collection. Once Google Music (cloud music storage) takes off, it'll be tons easy to always have access to my extensive collection, of which I'm very proud of, as you may probably can tell.

80 GB?  Wow.

Did someone say something? :p

Man,  I thought my 20 GB was alot.

While updating my thread list, I stumbled onto this old thread.

As xhonzi said, you guys are wasting what could possibly be the most valuable thread in the entirety of the forum.

Well I checked the OP for The Ridiculous Menace ETA on the proper thread, but it didn't say nuffin'. As I don't want to navigate spoiler pitfalls, would Mr. TV's Frink possibly be so kind as to give a quick Off Topic update?

No.

Kidding.  Here's a spoiler-free update:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Episode-I-The-Ridiculous-Menace-A-Frink-Fanedit/post/525414/#TopicPost525414

No real ETA, mainly because I'm relying on a few people to do some work I don't know how to do.

Thanks. I read that Friday song is going to be in it. Is that really worth listening to? Because I have tried 3 times and I can't make it past the 10-15 second mark.
