    Yeah, Pareene, like a review of yore. Aww, for some reason today, I miss the days of FNFF on this post. Am I the last to remember it or this:

    @Spirit Fingers: Oh, yeah, SF. But the funniest thing for me was that it was actually a SMFF - Saturday Morning F-Fest. So I'd be sitting here, sober as a judge, whilst the rest of you degenerates dissolved into a drunken mess, half a world away. Good times.

    Thank you for Depeche. Here's a literal A-Ha for you. Did you ever see this clip? It cracks me up every time..."Everything's drawn and super '80s". Heh heh.

    Anyhoo - what I said was... The funniest thing about the FNFF was that in my neck of the woods it was a Saturday Morning FF, so I'd be sitting here with my espresso and cereal, watching you splendid degenerates dissolve into a drunken mess, half a world away. Good times.

    Million thanks for Depeche. Here, for you, is Literal A-Ha. Have you seen it? Always cracks me up. "Everything's drawn and super 80s".

    @DevilsAvocadoRedux: OMG! That was freakin awesome! I never saw that. Um, that's my new "email joke." "Pipe Wrench Figghhhhhtttt!" Yeah, classic.

    Yeah, near the end to an FNFF we'd be like completely obliterated. Nothing was funnier than NotAnderson and his schitzo beach ball routine at like four in the morning. (Posting his Avatar holding a beach ball on opposite sides like he was having a conversation with himself for like an entire page.)

    Now for a little deciphered "Come On Eileen."

    "I piss vomit... you peed that dress"... You have no idea how much that made me laugh. Tears. Really. My face is wet with laughter-tears. Thank you, SF. I'm in the midst of writing a deathly serious article, and that is just what I needed. Too good.

    @DevilsAvocadoRedux: Yes, we're on the same page until we get to DevilsAvocadoFor PrimeMinister.

    Does this mean you want to be King or Ruler of Socks or something? That seems a bit self-serving. Wishes only work on monetary requests, food and beverage, and liberal agenda, maybe cake too. Kingship is waayyyy too indoctrinating.

    Goin to bed now, Avo. Nice FNFFing with you!

    For the record: this was the longest week EVER and your review perfectly reflects that. I'm off to SFO to fly away to a world of turkey dreams and familial nightmares.

    That was exhausting, Alex. Still, you forgot to note how in the video of "Bad Romance" Lady Gaga managed to get her spine protruding far enough behind the rest of her to use as a rudder. Or was that last week?

    Considering the picture used for this post, when I saw the "And a guy won a prize!" line I got really excited and thought that we finally had a new photo of Nikki Finke... then I remembered that whole Obama-winning-the-Nobel-Peace-Prize thing.
