Cool-but-not-Funny stuff on the Internet

The equivalent in French, if I remember correctly, is "comme si, comme sa" (pron. roughly "come see, come saw"), though I'm sure the POC will correct me if I'm wrong.  

pronounciation correct, spelling is "comme si, comme ça."

that's what I had in mind, but no clue as to how to spell it!

The equivalent in Mandarin is "ma-ma hu-hu".  It directly translates as "horse-horse tiger-tiger" (and no one seems to know why).

Here's one that Bob Stroud sent me back when we first started listening to him:  http://www.oldiesloon.com/

As he said to me back then: "Get ready to spend more time there than you probably should!"

Some fascinating reading.  I could spend a LOT of time there ... if I had a lot of time to spend.

In fact, right now you can build your own 30-track Northern Soul compilation for less than £10 shipped.

My god that's a bargain... it's less than $15 American per CD, and from the HUGE song list, it's obvious most of these tunes are obscure/hard-to-find in the US.

In case you missed last nite's South Park, which took aim at SF (guess they're tired of Scientology) -- here's something from sfgate.com:

So Gaz, how did you feel your test went?  I think I did okay last night, though there were some questions I had no clue on.  But those don't bother me like the ones I knew but just totally blanked on:

JK Rowling
Little Shop of Horrors

I knew those!  But not at the time...

I don't think I did well at all.  Of the 50 questions, I confidently knew about 20, was pretty sure on another 15, made educated guesses on another 10, and oscillatedly wildly on 4.  And blanked on the name of Hamas, which kind of embarrassed me.

There was one question about a dance among (French?) royalty, six letters, began with "M."  I had no idea so I said "Macarena" with a smiley emoticon.  I hoped my sense of humor would compensate for my sense of history.

One of my favorite tactics in college.  Even worked sometimes.  Probably not in the Jeopardy quiz tho...
