MORE TICKLES THAN PUNCHES

god bless my underwear*

i've always thought of denmark as an erotic, chilly, alcoholic land. a place of cold deer and colder beer. but what i didn't think of was how insane their children are.

a children's song from DENMARK

"if or if not my butt was pointy
and filled with lemonade,
then you my friends could lick it
until my buttocks were flat"

are they advocating the licking of buttocks for procurement of lemonade? do we all secretly have lemonade in our buttocks? or just the danes? did hamlet have lemoney goodness in his booty or was he too busy being moody (sorry, i know)

how does this effect the lemonade stand business in denmark?

can one of my friends of the hebrew persuasion 'splain this one? children's song from ISRAEL

"steve, the fat guy
within his stomach there's a child
what's the child's name?
steve the fat guy!"

huh wah? isn't there an old greek story where some dude eats his babies?

aren't you glad to be an american right now? "the batmobile has lost his wheel and robin laid an egg..."
