#1 I'm afraid no one in Ireland takes a bomb threat lightly.

#2 More like they can't understand the idea that they might be targeted. After all, it's not as if they've been helpful in the war...

#8 Hey Zen: What's 'filking'? Oh, BTW, thx for the kudos yesterday.

#9 "Filking" is the time-honored tradition of transposing new lyrics onto old tunes. An example would be how the Christmas carol "What Child is This?" is actually a rehash of the much older English folk tune, "Greensleeves". Again, great job on, "I Want my Hez TV." Keep up the good work.

#11 OT Comics bit trivia : did you know that "connie Lingus" was a scifi-parody soft core erotism heroine created and drawn by Bruce Jones in the late 80's? Can't remember in which US mag/comics it was published, and google/wikipedia doesn't help me, but here it was tranlasted even here, in the "Echos des Savanes spécial USA".
Any comics geek here?

#12 Yet another salacious crack from our resident linguist.
