Well I guess I'm an outlier.

It strikes me as ellipsis: a similar hat to [the hat of] Jane. — KitFox 4 hours ago

It does no such thing for me. Even if it were ellipsis to me, it wouldn't be this ellipsis.

BUT.

Ellipsis or not, I find it unexceptional.

So I'm kind of sitting between all chairs on this.

@ЯegDwight Goose.

@ΜετάEd Owl.

Duck … duck … duck … duck … owl. Interesting.

Don't make me post the Simpsons scene.

’E’s a real ’owler, ’e is.

Then again, why the heck not.

And is it actually funnier in German?

> it is better in german

Jinx.

Good for the goose, good for the ganser.

No idea what they mean. But the German word has two syllables.

And again.

Be the judge.

9:39 PM

Nope. Not funnier.

I see you haven't listened the whole ten minutes.

Correct, I skipped the middle 9:30.

You're a rebel.

It doesn't even get to the punch line.

There's a punch line? I don't remember.

Arrr, got a sweet game item 'pdate, arr.

My god there’s a 10 Stunden version.

Sonic The Hedgehog

Got a flintlock that'll send you to Davy Jones. Arr.

Well, if that has them rolling in the aisles in Deutschland, I guess there's some difference of opinion on what constitutes humor.

@tchrist it's even worse. With stupid commentary.

@Robusto what makes you think the commenter was a German?

9:41 PM

All right, can we all agree that Talk Like a Pirate Day is totally played out?

The ten-hour version has the right ending, though.

I could go post "it's funnier in Japanese".

It's just a YouTube comment.

@tchrist I don't have the time right now. Perhaps December 25th.

@ЯegDwight I'm talking about the clip, not the comment. Obviously.

@Robusto obviously that doesn't make sense because the video itself doesn't suggest it has them rolling in the aisles in Deutschland.

Note that I also did not listen to the 10,000 year version.

9:43 PM

I refuse to note that.

@ЯegDwight So it was posted for no reason?

@Robusto a reason is a prerequisite for posting on YouTube, or anywhere on the Internet, since...?

OK, I will stop trying to make sense of You, Tube.

All of TV is on YouTube in its entirety.

That doesn't mean that... well, it doesn't mean anything.

Sonic The Hedgehog

They even recorded 1980 car ad with Michael Jackson dancing with BMW behind him and posted it on YouTube.

How the heck they managed to do that, I don't know.

And I know it was recorded, because it was recorded by a potato.

9:48 PM

@ЯegDwight You already said it was stupid commentary when you said it was on YouTube.

Far Beyond These Castle Walls

@tchrist I know. But Rob is far beyond thick castle walls, my message didn't penetrate.

Off in the styx, he is.

Nope.

Wrong one.

I see no far nor beyond.

In fact I see nothing because of RIAA.

I am not in a country where RIAA is available.

So they punish me for that.

To make up for not being punished by RIAA, I guess.

Once in a dream
Far beyond these castle walls
Down by the bay where the
Moonlit water falls
I stood alone while the minstrel sang his song
So afraid I'd lost my soul
There in the fog his song kept calling me
Leading me on with it's haunting melody
Deep in my heart a voice kept echoing
I knew I'd soon be wandering
Far beyond these castle walls
Where the distant harbour meets the sky
There the battle rages like hell
And every dove had lost it's will to fly
Far beyond these castle walls
Where I thought I heard Tiresias say

Tiresias.

Vewy well.

Ed and Rob probably remember Grand Illusion.
