A recent Internet Relay Chat log (where "redrick" is moi):
09:04 < redrick> karsten: What a German-speaking acquaintance says he's busy
doing: "Blöde Bilder beeindrucken blöde Bosse"
09:04 < redrick> (Dump pictures impress dump bosses)
09:05 < redrick> (I'll bet that's supposed to be "dumb", rather than "dump",
though.)
09:08 < redrick> I wonder if "blöde" is something so idiomatic that even
babelfish can't deal with it? I find this odd article, which
entirely fails to explain:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_blode
09:10 < redrick> At the bottom of that page: "Allies: [...] Foodvik Bloodaxe
Foodersson is Food's Viking cousin. He tries to destroy the
Uber-Pea with his Berserker attack, but can't. So he summons a
Big Gnome to crush the Pea."
09:10 < redrick> Seems like bad European anime, on acid.
And indeed that's what it is. If you've not yet seen the Flash
animations on Joel Veitch's http://www.rathergood.com/ , you should:
He produced the crack-addled Quiznos adverts with the singing
"Spongmonkeys" that many people will remember from abount a year ago.
Joel's probably tired of hearing about his Viking Kittens, though:

(Lose the insipid talking baby, Quiznos. "We love the subs!")
