International Stuff 1847

during the summer, in greater heights, to a cottage with stable and large mountainside fields. Such a location is an "Alm". In autumn, the cows come down to the valleys - called "Almabtrieb" - and they are nicely decorated for that purpose. It's a special kind of a

so Lester and I live in an Alm.

which part is the almatrieb, the cow, the coming or the valley?

I suspect it is the travelling part that is the almabtrieb

I bet the cows aren't thanking anyone though.

It is a very lovely custom though

This Kausruhe

Ah, I've never watched that yet.

well since I make reference to it a lot--

while you are at it you will have to become familiar with the new US show called My Name is Earl

Another one that I adore as much as Jon Heder from Napoleon Dynamite.

I love Jason Lee (Earl) so anything he does is ok by me.

I didn't think Earl is outrageously funny, but it was cute.

Southpark is outrageous but can get "tiresome"

I love how they made Jason Lee look so scruffy. He grew that ugly mustache just for that show.

My mother saved the interview for me of him in the NY Times, where he said "trust me I am funnier with the mustache"

My mother now watches that show religiously.

Plus, his hair is usually blonder and very cute in all his movies, although he has a nasty mouth on him in almost everything I have ever seen him in.

Very very mean usually in all the Kevin Smith movies, but also very funny

He is doing a great job, i think, playing a two bit criminal, especially where I don't think he ever planned to be an actor. Mostly he was a professional skateboarder.

I will watch him in anything he does.

I know this one isn't probably your type of show but Head Cases was absolutely panned by the critics, but I loved it.

Adam Goldberg is another actor who can't do wrong by me.

He was outrageously funny in the pilot of Headcases, defending someone from ELF (same as ALF)

The one line he said when one of the dorks tried to give him a soy muffin was great

"he couldn't blow up a doll, never mind commit this crime"

(it was a car dealership that they planted in this instance)

ok so we will see if I can log on later tonite.

" Clicking through the commercials manually is just fine and a far better use of your time than actually programming the button to do it for you in 30-second increments. As you learn your DVR, see if you can avoid becoming one of those people who rambles on endlessly about something (that's new to them that the rest of the world either has by now or doesn't want) as if it's God's gift to His Creation. For examples of behavior to avoid in this vein: see any of Jeff Tindall's TiVo-related posts."-- Bryan S. Slick
