That playing card is pretty badass... anyone know if the whole deck is garfield?
Admin
More salmiakki? Your readers must really hate you, I wouldn't give salty liquorice to my worst enemy.
Admin
If a belt loader eats zippers, and a zipper eats penises, then then a belt loader can also eat...
Admin
All that excess to Wi-Fi explains why there were no porn movie charges on that hotel bill.

CAPTCHA: appellatio - a certain sexual act performed in the Appalachian mountains

It looks a lot like that card had the faces pasted/taped on. Different paper "edge" around the heads, and they look flat compared to the card.
Admin
That's not a Bundesjugendspiele consolation price (which would be a 'certificate of participation'), but the Schüler- or Jugendsportabzeichen in bronze. Similar thing, but sponsored by the DOSB (German Olympic Sports Confederation). The Bundesjugendspiele are sponsored by the Federal Presidency.

From which circle of Hell do you buy your pants?
Admin
Nice to see my favorite nationl (Czech) chocolate bar featured here :) To be precise, full name is "Studentská Pečeť", i.e. Students' Seal.
Admin
With the bubble gum, I suppose you are trading being overly chewy and bad tasting for the ability to blow really big bubbles.
Admin
I bought some salmiac after reading your about your first Finnish food parcel.
I liked it. Rather too much in fact. After scoffing an entire bag I spent the night see-sawing between digestive agony and explosive flatulence.
It's lovely but never - ever - again!

Ah haha, I had Wow! (the internet service provider) as my first ISP. IIRC they were one of the first (if not THE first) companies to offer flat-rate cost internet connections. It was $20/mo dialup.
One day they sent a customer-wide e-mail that was very similar to: "Hello everybody, we're going out of business, this last month is free, thanks"
They attempted to be an AOL-style ISP, with their own special browser and intranet stuff. Their client was REALLY annoying and would full-screen, even covering the windows taskbar, trying to prevent you from using other clients. It was very easily circumvented by just having windows dial the same number, and using it like any generic dialup.
Ah the memories. I discovered internet porn and cybersex via Wow!. One day I got a really sneaky idea and wondered if anybody had pictures of naked ladies on the internet hidden away anywhere. Holy crap was I surprised, hahaha.

Unspecified Venue isn't very good for events like Exception. I don't know why they keep scheduling them there.
Worked pretty well for #DIV/0! '99, though.

I received a band just like that when I went to a show at the Palladium Ballroom (adjacent to the Loft) in Dallas back in July. A friend of mine received a band like that. His ID either didn't scan, or the system handled his outdated ID in that fashion. Mine printed my actual age and birth date on it. Pretty neat stuff!
The system also prevents you from getting a band, giving it to an underage friend, and then getting another band for yourself as it stores your ID in its database.
Admin
Erm.
Bubblegum? I think that packet looks suspiciously more like one that would contain something used for an entirely different purpose, and which I would not put in my mouth ;) [I honestly hope that was the joke :D]
Admin
I think the String Fellows band might have some copyright issues if they try to break into the UK.
Admin
Zippers don't eat penises they eat pubic hair, as do belts - so it's a no brainer.
Admin
Admin
There's a cool invention to remedy that. It's called underwear
Eeewwwww, TMI.
Admin
Whenever I see a condom machine in a public bathroom, I always tell the clerk/bartender/whomever that the bubblegum in the bathroom is stale. In the old days I got laughs. Now I get dumb looks or horrified stares. The connection between the spent wads of gum that they have to clean out of the bottom of the urinals and this lame joke only occurred to me recently. Yes, I still say it whenever I can. Glad I could brighten your day. Enjoy lunch.
Admin
Well obviously. The one face even extends past the edge of the card.
Admin
TRWTF is that Askimet is letting a lot of these flag words through, considering how anal it can be about some less-innocuous things.

Screw you akismet, second attempt; Third?

If you dissolve the Tyrkisk Peber in a bottle of rum it makes for some really great party drinking.
A bit like jalapeno-flavored Jagermeister. :-)
Admin
Are you sure that was gum? It almost looks like it is in a condom wrapper.
Admin
S Bakula??????
Sam Beckett? Chuck's father? Man of a Certain Age?
Admin
And now you know why they called the service Wow!
Admin
That might actually taste good. (FWIW, I actually like salmiakki)
Admin
Don't forget Captain Archer.
Admin
In case you are interested, the ES² stands for "extra sensitive".
They also offer ER² ("reissfeste, extrafeuchte" = "tear-resistant, extra moist") EF² (easyfit, "Besonders ergonomisch geformt" = "formed more ergonomically"!!!)
(I am posting the link only to challenge Akismet ;-) (succeeded)

No, don't use it as bubblegum!

Hi! I'm crazy programmer guy! I have a keyboard on my head!! Isn't that crazy? I have a keyboard on top of my head!!
Now give me some candy!!

Oy! No dissing OS/2. Assuming the hardware is old enough (no USB, reasonably small hard disks, at most 512 MB memory, you get the picture), it's a really freakin' cool operating system. Pity IBM killed it. Brutally.
Admin
Me neither! I would eat it by myself :-)
Admin
I reiterate my offer to take any salmiakki off your hands.
Admin
whoosh

Billy Mays is dead. Buried in an OxiClean shirt.

P.S. I'll happily accept candy you'd like to get rid of, as well. I fail to see any reason to decline free candy (well, unless it's being distributed by a sketchy guy out of his van, I suppose.)
Admin
Am I the only one who remembers that scene from Coneheads where they gave their alien leader some "chewing gum?"
Quibus: use of this gum may help prevent transmission of certain diseases during quibus.
Admin
I wonder how long it will take before Alex actually loves salmiak liquorice. (My personal favourite is sugar coated salmiak gums: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DHkwBIwsL.jpg)
Admin
StringFellows? Are you sure it's a band.. and not a ladyboy (as in girl with dick) bar in Pattaya, Thailand?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIRUMvML9ho NSFW!
Admin
Stringfellows as a bandname is of course rather cunning...
Admin
What are you talking about? Of course this concludes that belt loaders can eat penises XD. Every child should know that this relation is transitive. If A->B and B->C, then you can conclude that A->C also applies.
Admin
That's why the package has some pink ribbons. So you make a knot and use it as a balloon.
