Brother's show

Today, I've decided to let someone else talk for me.
He is not one of myselves, he is my brother.

Here comes Joe :
For us french people who are oftenly embarrassed with our accent (and we shouldn't), here is a little Special Oral Exam.
I've always been wondering why teachers didn't teach us English like this, at start ...
Try to pronounce it now :

Three thrilled bitches bitching on a beach ...
The first bitch tries three thrilling beaches ....
The second bitch bitches about the three thrilling beaches ...
While the third bitch is thrilled by a thrilling threesome on the beach with three other thrilled bitches.
Why are you thrilled ? Too many beaches or bitches ?

You are allowed to drool now.

Desert Island Discs

First of all, the songs:

1. Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) by Richard Wagner.
The second of the four acts of this cycle is Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), song taken in the film Apocalypse Now (1979) by Francis Ford Coppola.
It's a great opera refering to the Nibelungens, a legend of the nordic mythology.
As stated, I like classical music. Period.

2. Lilium by Kumiko Noma.
Another beautiful song.

3. The Four Seasons by Vivaldi.
As the first one, it's really beautiful. And, as the first, it's very long. When on a desert island, you got spare time, so long songs are better than songs of 1min30s.

4. Lucia di Lammermoor by Eric Serra.
Music from The Fifth Element by Luc Besson.
And yes, if you didn't already understood, I like classical music (and also this movie).

5. Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.
Music also present in the movie Excalibur by John Boorman.
Also another great opera.

6. Piano Concerto #1 by Tchaikovsky.
This music is great for waking up in the morning.

7. Still Alive by Valve form the credits of the game Portal.
This song means something very important: Someone will always be here, whatever you face, you do, or you don't do.
(1) - Did I say something wrong ?
(11) - Yes.

8. The Girl in Byakkoya by Susumu Hirasawa.
This is the main theme of the movie Paprika by Satoshi Kon.
As said in the movie, a little bit of Paprika can make the life much more happier.

Then, the book:

It's a little series of 14 books.
- The Belgariad series
Pawn of Prophecy (1982)
Queen of Sorcery (1982)
Magician's Gambit (1983)
Castle of Wizardry (1984)
Enchanters' End Game (1984)

- The Malloreon series
Guardians of the West (1987)
King of the Murgos (1988)
Demon Lord of Karanda (1988)
Sorceress of Darshiva (1989)
The Seeress of Kell (1991)

- The prequels to The Belgariad
Belgarath the Sorcerer (1995), with Leigh Eddings
Polgara the Sorceress (1997), with Leigh Eddings
The Rivan Codex (1998), with Leigh Eddings

And last, the luxury:

- 1 computer
- 1 electric factory producing just enougth energy for the computer (not of a survival value)
- 1 Internet connection

GoldFish

(1) - Once upon a time, there were
(2) - Some small worms ..
(11) - Stop ! Not this one !
(1) - Once upon a time, there were some small goldfishes cycling in their jar. Then one says to the other :
° Hey Marco, didn't we alreday passed this
(2) - pot of gold ?
(1) - HOUSE !
° I don't know Polo. Actually, I don't remember what we did five minutes ago ...
° Yep, stupid GoldFish memory ...
(1) - Ten minutes later :
° Hey Marco, what should we do during the next hollidays ?
° I don't know Polo. Maybe we can cycle in the other way ?
(3) *forced laugh* Ha ! Ha ! Ha !
(All) - ...
(2) - I met someone last day ... but I don't remember where, why, nor who it was ...
(All) - ...
(2) - I remember now ! It was ...
(All-2) - We also remember him, and we don't want to hear about him !

Morality :
GoldFish memory is a plague that run everywhere in the world ... but I don't remember from where it has started.
