Technically, the character written ĝ is currently thought to have been pronounced like 'ng' in 'sing'.......

Sorry, I thought this thread was going to be about the space colonies located at L4 from Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.

Poor Al, he's going to be found in a clocktower and a high power rifle when he gets older.

Well, looks like the Stig has some new listening material for the next series of Top Gear.


Goodbye, I guess.

I would rep you the WORLD if I could, for presenting one of the single most hilarious pieces of dialog in the Firesign Theater's collection.

Am I the only one that got it?

I had the great pleasure of learning of the Firesign Theater from my neighbor years and years ago. Blissfully, they did their anniversary tour and came to San Diego, so I treated him to go to it, and it was AMAZING. None of the jokes had aged, the whole "sector R" tv food thing translated perfectly into the internet, I was just floored.

Firesign Theatre has been part of my life for more than thirty years now, and I find myself constantly quoting them and working allusions to their classic routines into almost everything. It amazes me how prescient I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus was.

Oh god no kidding.

My ex's dad once worked with them, when he was still doing radio. I thought that was pretty cool when I found out.

Wow, that's a really obscure way to start a thread. Been a long time since I listened to FST, thanks for the link.
