Very cool, and funny too.

I don't suppose any music lovers out there have an old album called 'Swinging Baroque Guitar' by Frans Loffler. I really want to get hold of it. I don't have an LP player, but I'm hoping someone might have transferred it to CD.

Twinkie syndrome. Walker seem tinged with insanity. More fuel to the "kids eat too many twinkies" theory of mental health.

Irving Berlin was neither Germany nor was he ever there. "Face the Music" was not even written in 1936.

Feel free to edit from a bean-counting parsnip-perspective, Hobbes.

Why did you write;"1936 Berlin, Germany"?
Or don't you even know why?

Though crude and inartful, gracias for the segue.

I assumed the why is self-evident. But you know what they say about assume. It makes an ass out of you not me. The hinge is Berlin the name, the city, the man, creation. Follow the implications for the world, knowing what we know of now and then, of how destruction is highlighted now in the fabric of life as the potential was ripe then, in light of the meaning of the lyrics. See how they pivot on this hinge, how the figurative door swings in, and swings out in cycles, how history repeats. Ah, the advantage of a brain evolved to pattern-recognition. Try on them behooves and take a relaxed walk, like you normally would.

Note too that within the video itself that the actors glance at one another askew as folks do in life in such situations as you know, as a direct look implies an exchange through the gift of attention, so those who know this know the rule of brashness and its appropriateness according to the dictums also discovered and echoed by Gandhi, available for reference by the curious in the ethics forum.


This is an original by a smart man as evidenced by joining forces with the blonde talent.

Duh.
Well Walker you must be a Zombie from the Walking Dead.
That, at least fits.

Stop eating junk food brother, you might find your brain starts working properly. Try fresh fish and broccoli.

Pshaw. Inference of high probability with supporting rationale verifies the conclusion. You know, man has evolved beyond parsnips as has the gut of man. Just look at how the creation of the Twinkie has increased civilized mans' span of years from the days of parsnip roots, though one should not rule out the lesser possibility that this has grown from freedom of the earf's roots. Open your ears man and stop listening to the parsnip propagandists.

Twinkies don't need to be diluted in strength as they are an essential food group.

But of course Twinker-Bell Atwinkists must have their day while pretending to enjoy bitter, stone-age parsnips.

What's a 'twinkie'? Ok googled it. A deep-fried faux-sponge finger with some synthetic white goop inside it. How American. Loving 'moms' like to give their morbidly obese children several boxes of these daily to take to school for lunch and 'recess'.
