Silly me. I forgot it was "señoritas in drag on mopeds" popping the paper bags. Everyone tells me my memory is going...but then, everyone tells me my memory is going.

But for some unfathomable reason, when you talk about llamas, noisy flamenco dancers and guys on tricycles popping paper bags have to be involved. Llamas also are an integral part of 'The Sims' PC games. The Maxis guys were apparently also Python fans and were as fond of this bit as we are.
In some Maxis games, such as the SimCity series, there were other references to British comedy. Red Dwarf came up from time to time in that one. The original 'Sims' is where I first started using the name 'Stavro'- an obscure HHGttG reference.

That makes them twice as dangerous. Since they live in big rivers like the Amazon, if you see one of these 2 head monsters where people are swimming you shout- ¡CUIDADO! ¡LLAMA!!

If you go forward to another page and return via your browser back button (or equivilant), you will still see the read banner of a new message, as that was what was in your cache. A refresh (F5) will give you the blues.

I saw an interesting name for a comic book store today "Green Brains".
And it was not across from the vegetarian store "Brain Greens".

The post I just made didn't appear, and the previous posts didn't change colour.... so I logged out, shut down Firefox and came back in SeaMonkey. Looks normal now..... My post now shows (in red) and the two previous are in blue. Problem is, since I have never previously read anything on this thread in SeaMonkey, it should have all been in red.

I remember a comic book store with that name in the '70s where you could buy imported Japanese die cast anime toys: toy Yamatos, Grandizers- that sort of thing- along with the usual stuff.

I was thinking of starting another one of these 'silly questions' threads as this one is now slow to load...something involving Asphalt Aardvarks or Wooden Wombats or something...

Great horny toads! The instant messaging has just been fixed and I'm suddenly inundated with months of messages and the question in my head as to whether anyone got my messages is answered also. I feel all apologetic about not answering them, but I didn't get them until right now and they're all out of context & time, so I can't. Sorry if I appeared even more bastardly than usual for seeming to ignore them. Sometimes you can't do anything about these things. If any of these arrived anytime recently, I can answer now if anyone is inclined to ask them again.
...Well, maybe much later as the months old messages are still coming like gangbusters and I've no way to tell which are new. Are any of you getting this also?

You might notice the blog link is now directly on the toolbar so it's visible and slightly easier to access. ...Wow. The messages are still coming...

Aardvarks are apparently very useful in the surveying business and the asphalt variety make excellent (and permanent) border markers. Nothing less than 'doing something nuclear' will shift one and even if a terrorist blows one up, you can still tell it was there from the lingering horrid stench of it's innards.

"Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying" remains a rather popular book (Megadodo Publications, £10.99 or 3 Ningis), but you'd be surprised at how many who want it have no money and can't read.

Since rubber hamsters are also used as incendiary devices, lighting their crap could have results which would be quite...explosive. The Asphalt Aardvark™, however, has petroleum based poo and lighting that could power a small Eastern European hamlet for a month- if you could stay conscious long enough around the fumes. 'Vark turds are vile, vile stuff and aren't to be trifled with unless you happen to have a haz-mat suit and an awful lot of Rubber Hamster™ brand air fresheners. "Now with new Yak Sweat Scent! Buy some today!"

The one thing Google failed to mention is the fact that they are using "pigeon droppings" (turd) to power their large network of high-speed servers. This is a new step in energy conservation.

I wonder if they would substitute it with "Rubber Hamster Droppings", wouldn't be more efficient?

No, too small. The outdoor 'lawn model' Asphalt Aardvark™ can be manufactured as a 'female' whose teats dispense sealant for your driveway and car wax for your jalopy made of recycled beer cans.

Speaking of beer, the indoor model 'varks dispense beer for frat parties. Each teat squeezes out a different brand of beer and hot bratwurst comes out when you lift it's tail. No party should be without one.

As a band or 2 hereabouts could tell you, 'nuclear' is a popular term. And thanks to a cartoonist from my neck of the woods who created those pizza chomping valley boy terrapins, so is 'turtles'.

The whole 'inanimate animals' thing seems to work best, so I'll stick with those for awhile.

I hear if you squeeze a rubber hamster to make it fart, you can light it (the fart, not the hamster) and have an effective blowtorch like Belushi did in that elevator at the end of 'The Blues Brothers'. Or was it Ackroyd? Lousy memory...

Looks like these guys have seen this site. The Big Butch Lesbian® company's 'Rubber Hamster' line does include incendiary devices, including the Holy Hamster of Hampshire, so they can be used in hand to hand combat. It's not hard to do.

According to the Book of Armaments- 'First shalt thou pull out the Holy Tail. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hamster of Hampshire towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

General Rules

All Weapons checked, Every weapon you use, from swords to rubber hamsters, must be checked by one of the referees. There is no exception to the rule. Anyone found using an unchecked weapon may have it confiscated.

guess I'll put my sword away and carry a rubber hamster instead.

TMMS forum is #1 on my search, but #2 had me intrigued, safety rules?

General Rules

All Weapons checked, Every weapon you use, from swords to rubber hamsters, must be checked by one of the referees. There is no exception to the rule. Anyone found using an unchecked weapon may have it confiscated.

guess I'll put my sword away and carry a rubber hamster instead.

Hmm...platinum pigs. They had better have wings, or they'll get stolen.

'Rubber hamster' is a phrase I used 20 some odd years ago. Something about cat toys as I recall. Thinking about that made me want to request Steve Martin's 'Cat Handcuffs'- the likely culprit that caused the phrase's creation. And 'aardvark' is supposed to be a funny sounding word. Maybe I just have a strange sense of humor. This is the place for it.

I think 'Zinc Zebras' would make good lawn ornaments, too. The lawn gnomes could ride them.

#1 on Google - Interesting. All it seems to take is the use of two keywords that normally are not mentioned together. Asphalt Aardvarks, and Rubber Hamsters made it. Let's try some other two-word combinations, and see if it makes it to the #1 spot. This will really help out TMMA by gaining popularity and make it better for all of us.

I had another look, and we're #1 now. And that link leads back to this thread. We're #1 for "Asphalt Aardvarks" as well.

So they make hamster rubbers for rubber hamsters. Who knew? Still, I've never seen a hamster wearing a rubber. Not while sober, anyway. And there are a lot of rubber hamsters around here anyway. Those hamster rubbers must break a lot. They must be made in China. Who else would make rubbers that small- ...lets not go there. Eddie Murphy covered that subject pretty well on his 1st album.

I do that, too. I'm even anal enough to arrange them all right side up.
Maybe it's me. I think there's a visceral satisfaction that you get with a metal coin that isn't there with flimsy paper or worse- internet transactions. ...I know. Antiquated thinking.
Still, the coins would be so much better if they at least tried to make them bigger than a quarter.

A two part question deserves a two part answer......

1) Here in Canada, we've had a dollar coin for quite some time and a two dollar coin for almost as long. Initial reactions were mixed. The adjustments are difficult to make (at first) for those who don't like change... But we're Canadians!!! We embraced the metric system, we can embrace dollar coins. And we did. The long term benefit is that the Canadian mint spends less money producing money and we don't have to walk around with a pocket full of quarters if we intend on using vending machines. Embrace the dollar coin and stop producing the paper dollar. You won't know how you ever managed any other way.

2) Back in the 70s, my parents had a flash of insanity when redecorating the kitchen. They picked out a wallpaper design made up of yellow, orange and green lines set out in a horizontal zig-zag design.... Sort of like a bunch of Ws and Vs strung together. (Sounds frighteningly like a certain C.W.McCall song.) All the trim was painted in green. Anyway, with that said, my advice to you is..... whatever you do.... Don't repeat that mistake. (We said it was just like eating inside a broken television.)

Brown walls, huh? I guess my bathroom was inspired by that famous interior designer, Hu Phlung Pu. My toilet and bathtub are beige! Whose drug addled idea was that? Not mine. But I'm not having it all ripped out because I've got 'that '70s bathroom'. The paint has to 'not clash' with the fixtures, I'm reasonably sure. And as for the horrific wallpaper....(200th reply...yay!)

In America, the (evil) powers that be are too paranoid to eliminate the penny & nickel or the paper dollar as it would be perceived (by them, anyway) as a de facto devaluation of the 'almighty dollar'.

With me, it's a dexterity thing. (Oh hell, here he goes again with that 'old' crap!) I find coins easier to deal with and handle than all those annoying 1s mixed up with the rest so it's harder to get at the 'real money' when you need it. I've spent half my life handling 'big' coins. When I was a kid, (oh, boy...) half dollars were much heavier than anything today and no one fussed about Ben Franklin's portrait on them or how heavy they were.
But today's hypersensitive bunch not only dislike dollar coins and are annoyed by those who use them here, but actually use & trust plastic- Bad idea. Poor security and all the identity theft and massive interest rates and debt. Who needs it?

Guess I jus' don't understand these young whippersnappers today, gol-durn it.

I cannot speak for those in the US, but here in Australia, we have had the coin 1 & 2 dollar coins for over a decade, and I dislike it, when you get change, you're wallet is so heavy and bulges.

With the paper, you can see how much money you have, but with the coins all you have is a hand full of shrapnel, and a check out queue behind you getting angrier as you count out the correct money for a purchase.

IMO, stick with the paper.

BTW, at the time of introducing the $1 & $2 coins, Australia also deleted the 1 & 2 cent pieces.

Not only that, the strippers complain that the coins are cold against the skin. (or so I'm told) ;-)

The bottom line is that the coins are inconvenient, but in the end they are cheaper for the government because they are more durable.

Updated: 4:29 p.m. ET May 5, 2007
OTTAWA - Got change for a million? Canada does: the world’s biggest pure gold coin at 220 pounds.

Already, three buyers have shelled out for one of the 1 million Canadian dollar coins introduced last week.

The Royal Canadian mint made the coins — 20 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick — mostly to seize the bragging rights from Austria, which had the record with a 70-pound, 15-inch wide coin.

“They’re not doing this because there is huge demand for 100-kilo gold coins,” Bret Evans, editor of Canadian Coin News said Saturday. “They’re doing it because it gives them some bragging rights in having the largest purest gold coin in the world.”

“They’ll kick the Austrians out of the Guinness World Book of Records,” he said.

Listed as 99.999 percent pure gold bullion, the coin features Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Canada’s national symbol — the maple leaf — on the other.

It takes about six weeks to make and has a face value of 1 million Canadian dollars ($903,628), though it sells for approximately $2.7 million depending on the market value of gold.

The coins will give the mint a higher international profile.

“We wanted to raise the bar so that we could say the government of Canada, or the Royal Canadian Mint, produced the purest gold coins in the world,” said David Madge, the mint’s director of bullion and refinery services.

Austria’s coin 100,000 euro coin ($138,155) was 70 pounds and 15 inches in diameters.

Evans said the Canadian mint recently lost some market share as mints in Australia, Austria, China and the United States pushed their own high-quality gold coins.

What does one do with a 220-pound gold coin?

Evans said bullion dealers use it as a promotional tool. A Japanese dealer, he said, puts one of the Austrian coins in public venues to draw people’s attention.

“And while they’re looking at that, they are being exposed to the idea of buying one ounce or half-ounce gold coins,” he said.

ok i'll take this part seriously....

question 1) if they really want people to accept and use the dollar coins the government should eliminate the paper dollar!!!

question2) i think a kitchen looks better wallpapered with food themed design. gives it a more homey look like i remember as a kid.


ok, that's out of the way.




and now, a man with a stoat through his head.......

Its time once again to use this thread for the purpose I intended when I started it last year. To ask really inane questions.

Here are a couple of real silly unrelated ones:

What do you think of the 3rd attempt to launch a new dollar coin? (It's so silly, there should be a song about it)

And...
What would be a good color to paint ones kitchen?
(If you read my blog, you'd know I've joined Wayne in the whole 'house renovation' thing while I'm feeling pretty good.)

Nope. No antifreeze chemicals in rubber hamster farts. They fart a nice potpourri scent.
And there's no lead paint on an asphalt aardvark. The one I'm sitting on is painted an oil-based light brown (matches the carpet). And it's saddle- Made in the USA! Oh, yeah! The 'available tar' they exude is pretty noxious though. That stuff smells like a pair of moldy unwashed winter underwear burning in a damp cellar full of rotting cabbage and unwashed urinals.

...But it's not made in China!

I think I mentioned this a few months ago...The infamous Rubber Hamster™ line of cat toys, aardvark lube and incendiary devices as well as the extremely popular, extremely heavy and only slightly illegal Asphalt Aardvark™ lawn ornaments and tar spreaders are made by Big Butch Lesbian (or BBL for short) Industrials LLC in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the labor is cheap and the women (or men or animals- anything goes there) will 'love you long time', or so I've heard.
Rubber Hamsters (and accessories) are found in the pet food aisle next to the Friskies Termite Flavored Asphalt Aardvark Pellets and the Purina Dead Baboon Chow.

I've heard that the Ministry of Silly Walks is no longer getting the kind of support it needs. There's Defense, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks. They're all supposed to get the same. But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defense! Now they get £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all their available 'products'.

My access is to user input. I can't eliminate the duplicate songs that I've seen either. But if you post them in my blog for today (Death to the Daleks), or send Wayne an e-mail he'll get the message and add it to his to do list. It would be nice to be able to add to or fix the titles of songs, or kill duplicates, it would make things a bit easier. ....Got it, Pete.

The strangest thing that happened today involving site transfer problems was the elimination of the overwhelming majority of apostrophes from every last one of Marcus Tee's song posts. I've been hunting down his contributions all day and replacing the vanished punctuation. And only his are affected. With this anyway. Who knew?

Bad news. It happens here, too. I've spent enough time messing about with the song pages today to have experienced that several times. Wayne said that the new site wasn't at fault, but rather the way he programmed the old one is causing a few problems, mostly for me and my lyric fixing efforts. The problem seems to involve the way the page types interact. Or don't, in some cases. We'll hunt down each glitch and get to them all, eventually.

Coincidentally, and now the news for wombats............

In the debate a spokesman accused the Government of being silly and doing not at all good things. The member accepted this in a spirit of healthy criticism, but denied that he'd ever been naughty with a choirboy. Angry shouts of 'what about the watermelon, then?' were ordered by the Speaker to be stricken from the record and put into a brown paper bag in the lavvy. Any further interruptions would be cut off and distributed amongst the poor. For the Government a Front Bench Spokesman said the agricultural tariff would have to be raised, and he fancied a bit. Furthermore, he argued, this would give a large boost to farmers, and a lot of fun to him, his friend and Miss Moist of Knightsbridge. From the back benches there were opposition shouts of 'postcards for sale' and a healthy cry of 'who likes a sailor, then?' from the Minister without Portfolio. Replying, the Shadow Minister said, he could no longer deny the rumours but he and the dachshund were very happy; and, in any case, he argued, rhubarb was cheap and what was the harm in a sauna bath.

(Cut to narrator. Caption on screen: '7 HOURS LATER')

..... were not involved. The Minister of Technology (cut to photograph of minister with a wombat on his shoulder) met the three Russian leaders today (Russian leaders again all with wornbats on their shoulders) to discuss a £4 million airliner deal. None of them were indigenous to Australia, carried their babies in pouches or ate any of those yummy eucalyptus leaves. Yum, yum. That's the news for wornbats, and now Attila the Bun!

Whoops- theres one now! No, it's just a wooden wombat. Actually, what I do more or less begins and ends with the content. How it gets to the page thankfully remains with Wayne as I couldn't program my way out of a wombat's digestive system.

It does help a great deal though, if everyone has a look 'round now and again and tells me what I've missed. That's part of what the editor's blog is for. And when you go to the song pages maybe write a review of an artist or song you like.

Arrrgh, good luck! There is a lot of stuff to go over. I'll let you know if I see anything out of whack. (And do watch out for aardvarks! Don't be so complacent.)

The old site used to do some strange things. For example, I would be looking at a song page and I would find the lyrics to a completely unrelated song. And then I would come back to the page and the correct lyrics would be there. Hopefully that has been fixed.

I'm reasonably sure it doesn't involve hamsters or aardvarks or even BBL, but rather is meant to be a status that frees up Wayne to do other things like make the show on time and add new features like the one added today and such like. People who Google a demented tune are directed here these days and Cap'n Wayne didn't want visitors looking for lyrics or info to see incorrect or misspelled or even 'vandalized' pages.

Some maniac had tidy things up a bit and make the archive, though incomplete, as accurate and well put together looking as possible. Arrr! I be that maniac, matey!

Well, the way things are going here at Loughborough, it looks as
though Britan could easily pick up a place in the first seven
hundred. But nothing's predictable in this tough, harsh, highly

shit. And back to you, in the studio, Norman.

Well, here I am on London's busy Westminster Bridge, seeing just how much time sitting down can take. Well, I arrived here by train at about 8.50, it's now 9.05, so I've been here approximately twelve minutes and if it's any encouragement, I must say that my legs do feel rested.
Are those crocodiles? Where did...ARRRRGH! CRUNCH ! CRUNCH! ....Ah. Well, I'm afraid that we've lost John Dull, so while they're, they're sorting that out, we have a report from Barry Loathsome in Loughborough on the British preparations for this most important...'Being Eaten By a Crocodile'.....event.

Good evening and welcome to 'Nationwide'. The programme where we do rather wet things nationally and also give you the chance to see some rather wet items in the Regions. Well, everyone is talking about the Third World War which broke out this morning. But here on 'Nationwide' we're going to get away from that a bit and look instead at the latest theory that sitting down regularly in a comfortable chair can rest your legs. It sounds very nice doesn't it, but can it be done? Is it possible or practical for many of us in our jobs and with the sort of busy lives we lead to sit down in a comfortable chair just when we want? We sent our reporter John Dull to find out.

'(Mynd you, Møøse) bites Kan be pretty nasti' is the line on the bottom of the screen in the credits of Holy Grail that got the Swedish credit makers sacked (again) for trying to get viewers to vacation in Sweden. The truly gonzo Python fans recognized this as a similar ploy the 'North Malden Icelandic Saga Society' used to drum up business in North Malden during 'Njorl's Saga' in ep. 27.

As for making funny noises, that reminds me of the Alexei Sayle song in The Young Ones ep. called 'Cash' where they make Neil join the police and the chief is Alexei doing his Mussolini impression. "When the boss has given you the sack, 'cause you lost all his invoices. Don't drink a bottle of sulfuric acid! Relax, make stupid noises...."

I don't know what the reference is, so I will stand on my head and make funny noises now. Also, I will obtain some floral shrubberies to cover the smell of asphalt aardvark poop.

Though rubber hamsters are afraid of the vacuum cleaner and the way it goes vroom vroom vroom and sucks them off the ottoman when they're resting and generally not being stone dead.

Indeed it does. You're not catching me out there. I've got a license for my rubber hamster, Eric, and I've got one for my asphalt aardvark, Eric.

Though rubber hamsters are afraid of the vacuum cleaner and the way it goes vroom vroom vroom and sucks them off the ottoman when they're resting and generally not being stone dead.

Oh, the old lady whose cat ran away because it was afraid of the vacuum cleaner? The last I saw her, she was getting a pizza delivered!

By the way, does your rubber hamster have a license?

I see that "dog" is crossed out and "rubber hamster" is written in crayon.

You haven't seen a little old lady on a Hoover vacuum cleaner saying, "I'LL GET YOU MY PRETTY! AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOTO,TOO!", have you? I don't even have a little dog Toto. I have a rubber hamster called Eric, though.

I read that too. Looked it all up before posing the question. Gives one no clue at all. Perhaps he was just a guy with a comparatively funny name after all.

I looked on Wilkepedia and he was prone to gaffes in speaking. Also, as Home Secretary, he was very involved in the crisis in Ireland and was punched by Bernadette Devlin, an Irish MP in Parliament.

Unless, it's a male. It looks fairly butch.

And now, who has the boil on the bum? Here you go. Who's got the chest rash? Have to get a bigger bottle! Who's got wind?.....Right, who's got a boil on his Semprini, then?

That's what I was thinking. This is more of a question for Nigel. Though there are quite a few of them there, now. I still think there should be more and bigger maps so everyone can find each other quickly without having to use the search function. But that's just me.

Meanwhile, where were we? Oh, yes. The naughty bits can be used to lay an egg, but if they do, it would roll down the back of the television set.

That's in the sequence that precedes 'Death of Mary, Queen of Scots' and 'Penguin on the Telly'. (It's in the same episode- 22)
I'm also getting the feeling that line could be exclusive to the same sequence on the 'Live From City Center' album.
And in the 'Lemon Curry' episode (33), theres a bit where the sound is supposedly off during a 'news' bit, and when it returns, the newsman is heard to say, 'until the word 'Maudling' is completely obscured.' He's mentioned over and over, more than Heath or Thatcher. What I wanted to know was, Maudling, Heath, and Thatcher were all Conservatives and therefore, comedy targets, but what made Maudling worse than the rest?

--- peterpuck9
Wasn't there also a reference to the naughty bits of Sir Edward Heath? It probably was in a different episode.

--- Stavro288
Sometimes, all they want are the naughty bits. You're no fun any more! Okay, here are the rest.

#5 The Naughty Bits
#7 Two inches to the right of a very naughty bit indeed

#27 More naughty bits
#28 The naughty bits of the Cabinet
#31 The end

Again with Reginald Maudling. I know that he was a Conservative MP In Mr. Heath's government, but I wonder what made him alone the target of so much rare Python topical humor? Another silly question.

And I've just taken a right turn into a bit from episode 42 where insane Edwardian toffs discuss whether words sound 'woody' or 'tinny', a premise within itself that can potentially turn viral. 'Premise'- tinny sounding word!

That explains everything. The entire transcript of the "Salavation Fuzz (Dead Bishop)" sketch from the Monty Python's Flying Circus episode #29 (from 1972) is here.

That explains everything. The entire transcript of the "Salavation Fuzz (Dead Bishop)" sketch from the Monty Python's Flying Circus episode #29 (from 1972) is here.

Ten years later there was a punk band called Church Police - more info here.

Better call the Church Police...'THE CHURCH POLICE!'

All right, it's a fair cop, but society is to blame. Especially the toffs who shoot caribou nibbling the croquet hoops!
'Caribou'. What a super 'woody' sort of word.

Oh Lord, we beseech thee, tell us who croaked Leicester!

Gannets aren't so bad. It's a 'Standard British bird', it's in all the books. All their wet nests must be smelly. At least you don't have to sell the albatross. Though they are 'sea bird' flavor. Everything's got a flavor.

Time for another silly question. This one's really silly. We have quite a few artists as members, but are there ones we don't know about? When Wayne signed them up for his MP3 store last year, did some of those artists join who weren't members already? Is Lemon Demon or Carla Ulbrich a member? Did Weird Al himself join at some point? If they did, would Wayne tell us? Just wondering.

I try to highlight each new member as I see them create am account (give them an "Artist" title), but it's a hit-and-miss sitiation when you're getting 1,200 new users a month.

I don't know if Lemon Demon has created an account, but I know Carla Ulbrich did. I expect to see more of them join when the MP3 store opens because then they can monitor the sales of their music in real-time.

I may be asking for it again, but it's time for another silly question.
This one involves the infamous unreleased "Monty Python's Hastily Cobbled Together For a Fast Buck Album" compiled in the early '80s and widely available on the net for some time.
Since Wayne seems all right with adding 'new' songs to the song list, shouldn't this album be included? This is an 'archive' of dementia, after all.
I imagine there'd be ten kinds of legal hell if they were played on the show, but it would be proper to document the tracks in the song pages.

Yeah, I guess it is - but they're all "Shows" so they are all grouped together under "Shows".

Since TMMS, MM and FFM can all be listened-to online, I considered them "Features" which are above and beyon just "Shows"

(He said humbly)

<grin>

--- Stavro288
Well, I call these questions 'silly' for a reason. I just thought that the lists under the 'shows' icon, especially for this year, although arranged by date, looked a bit jumbled with Dr.D, TMMS, etc. mixed up like that. Probably just me.

Time for a suggestion, now. One not involving hamsters or belly button lint. It's right and proper to do the tributes to Logan Whitehurst and Peter Boyle in the show's 1st segment. Perhaps next month, the 1st segment could permanently become a sort of clearinghouse for all the non-theme songs (be they tributes or whatever) that the Cap'n or someone want to get in without distracting from the show's theme.

Another demented thought to be ponderin', mateys.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Your use of that music most likely falls under the "fair use" category of the copyright laws... and I really don't think the video game producers stand to lose any money from it. They may even gain a little if somebody liked the music enough to buy the game, but I think the music would probably be low on my list of reasons to buy a game.

I think the 'distributing' mentioned in the piece was meant for those who intentionally rip and sell said game music. For what is difficult to conceive of, though. Cashing in on their copyrighted material is what seems to make them the most litigious. Playing it as background to a podcast and, most importantly, not making a dime off it is unlikely to show up on their radar. Podcasts like this contain lots of snippets of copyrighted songs or sound effects edited together (a la Whimsical Will and the late Dickie Goodman before him). Thousands of potential legal infractions in a 'cast, and thousands of 'casts. Where does a psychotic RIAA lawyer start?

Considering that, you shouldn't be too concerned. "The net is vast and infinite"

Alright, I was kidding about the hamsters.

I do have a silly question, though. It involves lyric posting. Yesterday, I was doing just that when I noticed that I kept running into lyrics on certain sites which said "lyrics posted by/with permission" and it occurred to me that it could be perceived that I was posting them on this site without permission. Are there any potential legal issues involving this, or is it more of an Internet sort of thing that implies 'do what you can get away with'?

On to the next silly question/suggestion. Quite a while ago, the issue of member status definitions came up. Most were obvious, but what made one an 'old timer' or 'participant' specifically? Cthulhu knows I've forgotten. Perhaps when Cap'n Wayne updates the site next month, the 'color key' on the friends page can include status terms that link to a short definition for the less obvious ones. Just a thought.

Legal issues will always surround how we share music, thanks to the big buisness that seeks to control it.

Consider the case of The On-Line Guitar Archive (www.olga.net) which was known to be among the best places to find lyrics and guitar chords for almost any song imaginable... that is until the music industry got involved. After a while where noting could be found on their site, they came back with only guitar chords and just a word or two from the start of each line. That was apparently fine for a while, but the music industry has again found another legal issue with them. They are once again reduced to an apologetic first page.

Although many artists would prefer us to have enough resources to sing along and play along with their songs, most industry execs view it as a threat on their meal ticket.

So.... Posting lyrics are probably legal now, but studio execs are apparently determined to put a stop to it. I don't think even artist's permission will eventually be worth much.

As for hamsters.... Try them stir fried and mixed with frozen beetles and belly button lint.

Tastes like chicken!
