Default Have you heard?

I was under the impression that everyone knew.

A-well-a don't you know about the bird?

Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!

A-WELL A B-BIRD BIRD IS THE WORD, BIRD, BIRD, BIRD IS THE WORD

Surfin' Bird by the Trashmen is currently at No 3 in the UK xmas chart, behind Rihanna and Matt Cardle


Brilliant

Not heard it, but it can't be any worse than Cardle's happy xmas tune!

Not this bird then?

Number 3, huh? Not bad for a song from 1963!

Vera Lynn made it to number one on the UK album charts last year.

I hold the distinction for being the only person in America who does not think that Family Guy is funny.

Until I saw this?

I felt the same way.
Don't ask me why.

I've seen that one too. I tried to give the show a chance, because a lot of people, my wife included, love it. For me, I think it comes down to the same thing I say about Curb Your Enthusiasm, which is that it just seems that the writers are trying too hard to be funny, and getting the opposite result. Of course, the styles of humor are very different in those two shows, but I think the approach is the same.

I only like all the chicken fight stuff.

Other then that?
I don't watch it.
If I do watch? It's something on YouTube that grabbed my attention.
My attention span is..............
Then the freaking Money threw up!

You're both wrong. There are more of us than you imagined. On the other hand, I also dislike South Park. A lot.
