I’m not sure I exactly get the point of this poster.
A few of the silhouettes are pretty iconic… the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower… etc…
You could use them to represent their countries on a chart, even unspecific ones like the windmill or the Greek portico.
Some others are vaguely suggestive of the countries they represent, while others are, at least to me, unrecognizable.
I don’t pretend to know what famous landmarks exist in every country, so maybe someone else would know them all.
But I doubt most people would know what landmark or country was meant by every symbol.
If that’s not their purpose, there are more attractive ways of presenting them all as art, and more informational ways to display them, ie, with labels.
I think this is what most very little kids think of when they’re placed on Santa’s lap for a picture! You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices!
There are people who think about the future and people who only live for the minute. Then there are people who complain that people aren’t all the same.
I hear ya. It’s okay if you don’t make a big deal of it. Buddy and Kiki won’t know the difference. I’m sure, in his own way, Buddy misses her too. He has no one to show him the ropes any more, and no one else to blame when he acts like a doofus.
Again, very interesting facts.
I had to watch it in two parts though (his sense of humour and mine do not align / and again the distraction of the bleeped obscenities).
On the bright side the commercial running from 5:52 to 6:56 can be skipped right over (I do realize the site needs to be paid for and others may well want to see what else it offers, but I skip commercials whenever I can / back in the day more than one waterworks department has stated they knew when the television commercial breaks were on because their peoples’ gauges registered increased usage).
Today’s Songs:
1. ‘General Hand Grenade,’ 2. ‘Girls, Girls, Girls,’ 3. ‘Glory Days,’ and 4. ‘Go Your Own Way,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. ‘Chilidron Chicken’
1. As promised, ‘General Hand Grenade’ by Trooper from 1967. A weird song that can’t quite find its footing. I don’t think it made it south of the border, but I’m open to correction. …….’Good old General Hand Grenade
Ridin’ in a motorcade
Sippin’ on a lemonade
And waving at his fans’…………….it’s earworm stuff though .
2. The Vancouver strip club mentioned in the song is no longer in existence. The Marble Arch hotel is now a retirement home.
3. Semi-autobiographical.
4. Linsday Buckingham said he wrote this as a a stream of consciousness.
5. Loose translation; ‘Tomato Sauce Chicken’; even with the pork in this recipe.
I recognized only a few of the references from the movies (the Shakespeare “Worf” is reading is a translation to English from the original Klingon by the way), and while I got more of the references to both of the television series I was nowhere close to even half.
The attachment of the licence plate is there because something always annoyed me about using the alphabet to designate new marks of the “Enterprise”, it should be NCC – 1701- 4 as far as I’m concerned.
It is worth watching, they were having fun while they were doing it.
.
I’ve seen that movie exactly once on television.
And you’re telling us that because?
we used to wrap all santa’s presents on christmas eve while , whatching this movie. now it’s TRADITION!!
And that’s a valid reason.
If you had only watched it once: why bother or tell without reason.
I have moms copy on DVD. She watched it every year.
And not just on christmas. It’s actually a very good musical and mom loved musicals.
Funny, I thought of sisters too.
2 NOSES!

eeeeekkkkk!

That’s what I call a “chiseled physique.”
Wow!
DZIOB!
Beautiful bird!
!!!
Very!
!!!
.
Is that a cake?
To answer your question….. …..YES. There are a whole lot more like the one above there, too.
,,,.
Beautiful! But there are people who would fuss about the amount of energy used to make this beautiful welcoming scene.
There are people who think about the future and people who only live for the minute. Then there are people who complain that people aren’t all the same.
Very pretty.
Some of those magical types must live there.

What? You put your kid back in there when you knew he was already that scared???
What a sourpuss!
That even out Scrooges me!
I’m having a hard time feeling it this year.

Lost our dogs a few years back. Nowadays, we just get to borrow our kids’ dogs once in awhile. Better than nuthun’!
Not safe for work.
Or around children.
Many will find this offensive.
I find it hilarious.

I posted a reply to “Gangnam Style” – worth watching:

Do you ever laugh?
There’s one “guest” who doesn’t seem to like me.
shots fired! shots fired!
Duck and cover!
Do you know “Atomic Cafe”?
If Cleo had her way, the Cliffords’ front door would have an “UNWELCOME” mat.
Her idea of holiday cheer is a Bronx cheer.
…
Yeah, yeah…. There’s probably a way for those poor carolers to escape their closet-size dungeon.
Claude can probably find the button that brings the little elevator back up.
Clara might even send them on their way with a few cookies….
Though Cleo will accompany that with a stern warning, and maybe a couple of barks.
….
Then Claude and Clara will sit Cleo down and give her a “Confound-it” or two, and a quick lecture about bad dogs and Santa and presents….
which by Christmas morning will be completely forgotten, as she unwraps her shiny new weaponry.
Another BB-gun?
