My wife and I were reading that the other day. The Japanese Men's searches were AWESOME. I found out that I am Merveilles Gackt! ;)

BTW: Ketchup Song is some track by some spanish girl trio. Its bouncy, silly, and they wear tight clothes in a video filled with girls in swimsuits. Its like Macarena: THE REVENGE.

Whith all the hype over Las Ketchup (which was pretty good) being displayed here, it is my guess that the Cheeky Grils' song has yet to be released in the US.

It wasn't good in any way. It's called the friggin ketchup song and just goes downhill from there.

The Cheeky Girls song makes me lose all my faith in everything. Period.

actually, the song is kinda catchy. too bad they mixed english and spanish in the "ketchup song". either they should have translated it fully, or stick with the spanish "asereje". plus, it's a frikken cover.

Or, the far better option in my opinion, just not have bothered.

I firmly believe that there is a place in Hell for pop stars of that variety, where they are placed in a soundbox and forced to listen to their own abonimations on an endless loop track at 400dB for all eternity.

What about people with 18-line sigs?
Title: 2002 Year-End Google Zeitgeist
Post by: Stryke 9 on December 18, 2002, 10:58:20 pm
18-liners? That's nothing.

Maybe a 15-or-over limit. I'm not sure what the punishment would be, but I imagine one could write a brief summary of it in exactly as many lines as their signature occupies.

Cell-phone users will have the those irritating damn ringtones stuck in their heads forever, as they are tied upside down, boiled in oil, and molested by evil vole-demons. And their only chance to escape is to make a call to God to ask for intercession, on an ordinary, regular phone that happens to be just an inch out of reach.

That, or they're forced to repeatedly try to sneak past a pack of rabid pit bulls, with a cell phone that keeps going off bolted to their spine.
