"The Wisdom of Wood Yee"
I do not believe that Gamara and Godzilla have ever appeared in the same movie, let alone be arch-enemies.
good one
Not all their battles were filmed.
Yes, one would think that a "maternal father" would be quite rare. Of course the term "Fatherland" (as in Department of Fatherland Security") is feminine in both French (la patrie) and German (die Vaterland).
This reads like a Marquis DeSade novel.... CREEPY!
I thought it was Das Land, and didn't change in compounds.
JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
'Nuff said....
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Well, you know what they say: "A family that lays together stays together."
Gamera is friend to all children!
Well, in the song "Die Wacht am Rhein" (at least as sung in "Casablanca") they sing "Die Vaterland" over and over. But you're right, if it's das Land then it would be das Vaterland.
I just looked. Alta Vista says "das Land" so you're correct.
Gamera is really neat! He is full of turtle meat!
From the Bible to the popular song,
There's one theme that we find right along.
Of all ideals they hail as good,
The most sublime is Motherhood.
There was a man, oh, who it seems,
Once carried this ideal to extremes.
He loved his mother and she loved him,
And yet his story is rather grim.
There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex.
You may have heard about his odd complex.
His name appears in Freud's index
'Cause he loved his mother.
His rivals used to say quite a bit,
That as a monarch he was most unfit.
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother.
Yes he loved his mother like no other.
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother.
One thing on which you can depend is,
He sure knew who a boy's best friend is!
When he found what he had done,
He tore his eyes out one by one.
A tragic end to a loyal son
Who loved his mother.
So be sweet and kind to Mother,
Now and then have a chat.
Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat.
But maybe you had better let it go at that!
Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex,
And you may end up like Oedipus.
I'd rather marry a duck-billed platypus,
Than end up like old Oedipus Rex.
--Tom Lehrer, "Oedipus Rex"
Keep in mind, incest is relative/sarcasm off
Charity, like incest, begins in the home.
My first thought after reading the title was to see if the story had occurred in Arkansas.
Just ewww!
I thought this was going to be a story about Lot in the Old Testament. Didn't he impregnate both his daughters? (Don't have a Bible at hand to refresh my memory)
Apparently I double your feelings!
