Not saying i am for the Stems

[Fredia]

but would not mind if they swept the series with the brew crew

[Alkie]

People.  This is an announcment (I'm not just picking on you, Fredia).

It is the steM.  Not the Stem.  Not the Stems.  the steM. 

Carry on.

[UpTooLate]

ummmmm, Fredia, it is the fucking steM that you refer to.   Why?  Yeah, yeah, knock down the brewers in the central yada yada, but really, the steM?  If we were nearing the playoffs, maybe, but c'mon, it's May.

[Mr. Happy]

Well, Fredia, you're off and running on your wish. Mets win the first one 5-4.

[Sambito]

What is that saying: one doth protest too much!
Alkie are you a closet steM fan?

[Ty in Tampa]

ummmmm, Fredia, it is the fucking steM that you refer to.

Goddamn fucking steM!

[Mr. Happy]

Brew Crew roll today, 12-3. God Damnit.

[JimR]

i would root for Satan and the Hades Nine against the Mets.

I feel that way about the Co-ardinals and Dojers.

just trying to stir up some Mookie

[taco]

it's "me think the lady doth protest too much"

[Sambito]

thank you for puttin on the shitz... taco

me thinks taco my be the worst one-hit wonder
in worlds' history  ranking up there with:

1) Lady in Red - Chris Deburg
2) I can't Wait - Nu Shooz
3) Safety Dance - Men without Hats

[chuck]

1) Lady in Red - Chris Deburg

I am pretty sure that Limey would tell you that, lamentably or not, Chris DeBurgh is not a one-hit wonder.

[Sambito]

maybe so; but lady in red causes more cases of
encephalitus than all of the stagnant ponds in Texas

[HudsonHawk]

I am pretty sure that Limey would tell you that, lamentably or not, Chris DeBurgh is not a one-hit wonder.

Chris DeBurgh actually did some good stuff.  Lady in Red ain't a particular favorite of mine, but he's far from a 1-hit wonder.

[Sambito]

I sit corrected

[astrox]

3) Safety Dance - Men without Hats

Those were some good times...

Shit. Got me thinking about crap I had forgotten. Now I can't get Don't Pay the Ferryman out of my head...

You are not even close to rock bottom with this list because you are not subjected to the annual shitpile of music that is the Eurovision Song Contest.  I was over in Limeyland when they were having the "big night of TV" where they pick the UK entry (which came second last).  I was amazed because they haven't advanced one nanosecond in 20 years.  The competition was won by Serbia.  Finland won it last year.

It's horrible.  Just horrible.  And the UK entry will be played literally ad nauseam on the radio...until it wildly panned by the judge from Kazakhstan: "This song smell like my seester's virgin after family gangbang night."

[Limey]

Hell yeah!  Or..Hell No!

Whichever is the ebullient agreement that CDB sucks.

[Sambito]

Wow,

Limey, to think we were spared some really bad 80's tunes from
eastern and central europe... makes me want to go out & play come on eileen
(Dexy's Midnight Runners or my personal favorite shitbag song living
in Michigan - Life in a Northern Town by the dream academy or KC Royal
farm system....

T'was Dream Academy.

For ease of reference, here's the UK entry to this year's contest.  Yes, this actually beat out other songs to get to the finals at the Institute of Going A Bit Red in Helsinki.

This is the all-conquering Serbian entry.  And, just for laffs, here's Finland's Gwar-inspired champion from 2006.  Oh Lordi!

[Bench]

This is the all-conquering Serbian entry. 

Not quite what I imagined a sultry Serbian crooner to look like.

Apparently the screenwriters behind Borat are making a comedy movie about Eurovision.  http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117964843.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

You mean you didn't know that's what he looked like?

You know, that British entry has to be some sort of elaborate joke. I'm sitting there thinking in the dozen or so seconds that I could stomach it (I thinks quick!) that not even Ricky Gervais could come up with something like this.

And placing behind any former Yugoslavian territory in any sort of contest or competition just doesn't give you the recommendation that you were hoping for. I mean, 'We came in second - right behind Serbia!' That's not really a ringing endorsement, is it?

[gwat]

From "I don' like no steM...or do I" to Boy Durad.
niiiice.

Not second.  Second-to-last.

[Bench]

My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more (you're a pony no more)
Running around with a man on your back
Like a train in the night -- [hold on, I can get this]
Like a train in the night

[chuck]

Not second.  Second-to-last.

Wow. Poor Ireland. The only votes they get are from Albania. There's got to be a sort of inverted satisfaction to placing dead last in the Eurovision Song Contest. I imagine the Irish were men about it, though, donning their fancy hats and skirts and dancing about to the sprightly tune of a fife and so on.

The joke is that the Irish won so much, that they finally started sending their worst acts so they wouldn't have to foot the bill of hosting the damn thing every year.
