I Liked the viking kittens.....never did see it on tv, but i like that flash......it's rousing....'course they got some of the words wrong, ( whisper tales of Thor, not Gore)
but still......they didnt butcher it as badly as Tori Amos did 'Thank You'

rock on, viking kittens, rock on.

Oh I know, I just like watching the eye twitch and the neck spasm as it repeats over and over and over...

Sometimes it's best to just let it go.

Every now and then, when all of the guys I work with are in the shop, I'll blare the first few lines from my laptop. That's all it takes.

First the glazed eyes, then the anger followed by the robot like turning of their heads towards me...

I can see why you're so well liked.

Heh. Nice one, Troubleshooter.

I found a bug in a website that you might be familiar with. Loading badger, badger, badger and leaving it up when I depart work results in all of the cables being firmly ripped out of my PC at work when I return the next morning. I asked the night crew that sits near me if they were familiar with it and they responded only with the same glance you described... very odd.

Actually, I'm only moderately liked, but I've learned to live with it..

See, TS, I knew you'd figure it out!

I think that I made my first major step when I figured out most people weren't as smart as I am and I could disregard their opinions.

Well, now I was not familiar with this version. It is quite entertaining--I particularly enjoyed the snake animation, but I feel there is far too much emphasis placed on the large red 'shroom. All in all, I must say I prefer the other version--I have a special fondness baloney/pony segment. I'm not sure about the sound quality of this version, though, because I played it without the sound in fear of my co-workers KILLING ME.

I know and it's lonely at the top.

I think Badger came before Bananaphone.

mrnoodle · 02-04-2005, 11:37 AM

It did. go to weebls-stuff.com to see all the nifty badgerbadgerbadger stuff. it's under the "toons" link, which i can't get to right now for some reason.

my favorite is "footy".

as with all badger loops, you must listen all the way through at least 5 times to get the full effect (either a snorting giggle or a headache, depending on your bent)

Magical Trevor is great too.

No, sorry guys, the worst perpetrator of mispronunciation crimes is your Mr Bush and the word "trrrrrr", carried out, according to him, by "trrrrrrists". I've thought about it, it definitely has six "r"s in it.
As far as I'm aware, by the way, no brit has ever said "vomick" for vomit.
