Hokey, but hold your tongue, and stop being such a smart ass.

Also, did a lot of work go into that, or is Flash just more impressive than I though?

I'll never touch Flash again...

(and yes alot of work went into that...)

Fish supporting the war? Well, that makes sense. Supporters of the war are indeed cold-blooded, slimy mouth-breathers with brains the size of acorns who are easily tricked into swallowing hooks.

OK, just because most of the people on the right may have a lower IQ than most of the people on the Left doesn't mean I do...

I love the subtext: America is all wet and smells of fish.

If you zoom in about 20 times (right click, zoom), it makes it more enjoyable...and barf-inducing.

I got sick of it. Someone tell me: is there a crab getting sucked through a tiny crack at any point?

John Laroche: Then one morning, I woke up and said, "Fuck fish." I renounce fish, I will never set foot in that ocean again. And there hasn't been a time where I have stuck so much as a toe back in that ocean.
Susan Orlean: But why?
John Laroche: Done with fish.

Ughh.. This place is going downhill fast.

Next will be links to "friendship" e-cards with moving java water in the scene.

That fucking sucked. Wash your eyes out with this.

Yes, patriotism (at least this idolatrous variety) certainly is fishy.

Thank you for the eyewash, Scoo. I have no idea what I just saw, but it made my day.
posted by bjrubble at 1:22 PM on November 11, 2005

love the eyewash - I think?

I thought that the part where all the red sardines and all the white sardines lined up in patriotic sardine stripes inside their little sardine can was particularly poignant.

Cute little patriotic sardines!

I wish I could actually wash my eyes out with that "eyewash". Like, liquid flash goodness in a bottle.
posted by ddf at 5:32 PM on November 11, 2005

What the heck. Like anyone with something better to do is clicking MeFi links. I enjoyed all 60 seconds of it last year, and I liked it again this year. Not enough to wet myself, but thanks for the relink, and everyone else can lighten up.

"Yes, patriotism (at least this idolatrous variety) certainly is fishy."
The number of posts downplaying both the little flash ditty and the concept pf patriotism makes me wonder if perhaps thy doest protest to strongly!
A] if you don't like the country you're in then get out and leave it for those of who do like it.
b] if you're just to embarrassed to say - gosh it's my country and I do love it here. - out man it.

"out man it"?
posted by fandango_matt at 7:15 PM on November 11, 2005

Yes, out man it. As in to 'walk it off', 'get over it', 'overcome by due diligence in the face of adversity'

No sorry, that was me.

I laughed, because I honestly thought it was a joke. I guess not.

For those that didn't make it to the end (I have AE and PS open already, took a mefi break) here you go:

I see it, but it ain't kosher.

It is rather appropriate to make a bald eagle out of fish. That is what they eat, ya know.
