listen to the Lonely Island song, Jack Sparrow.  catchy - particularly michael bolton's part - but not original.   the lonely island guys copied an 80's hit.  listen for yourself.

first this (start at 0:57):

now listen to this (start at 0:49):

the tune from Jack Sparrow is taken straight from Heart's Alone.

carmen sandiego

.
.
.
her theme song is familiar, but did you ever pay attention to the lyrics?

she commits incomprehensibly grievous crimes and humiliates governments, apparently for the lulz.  (what does it even mean to steal a river or a city?)  no supernatural powers.  just a burning hatred for order and authority.

she is peerless among fictional villans.

good luck gumshoe.  you've already lost.

theme song and lyrics.  you nostalgia you lose.

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina, 
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize, 
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China, 
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? 

Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle, 
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues, 
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle, 
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? 

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe, 
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back! 

Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia, 
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth, 
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima, 
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? 
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be? 

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam, 
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...! 

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation, 
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery, 
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations, 
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Palin/Golem 2012

BBC News - Arizona shooting: Palin denounces 'blood libel'

Sarah Palin, the real victim of the AZ shooting, attacks as 'blood libel' the suggestion that her violent rhetoric might incite violence.  she aggressively defends herself from requests to tone down her violent rhetoric by escalating her violent rhetoric.

(blood libel, btw, is the accusation that some group (usu. Jews) murder children and use their blood for rituals.)

it's all about meeeeeeeee

when Jews were persecuted for blood libel in the 16th century, the Golem of Prague came to their aid.  will the Golem now protect Sarah Palin from her detractors?

would you vote for Palin in 2012 if the Golem were her running mate?

"come at me bro:  Palin/Golem 2012"

the smell of sadness

.
.
.
"so, um, your smelly sadness is really turning me off right now.  no, seriously."

NPR:  Smell That Sadness?  Female Tears Turn Off Men.

apparently, chemicals present in emotionally-shed female tears reduce male testosterone and sexual arousal.  males are temporarily emasculated by female tears.

whatever.  humans aren't subject to chemical impulses.  we have free will.

"did somebody just...?  ugh.  mind leaving the room next time?"
