Wait, which one? Because there's at least two Fireflies, and one of them is very much not like the other.

The TV series (starring Nathan Fillion) one, I believe.

ChairmanPoo's avatar makes me very uncomfortable.

It reminds me of some very weird Japanese video I've seen waaay back in the past.

just use adblock and ban it if you don't like it

Yeah this one.

All is well, day is done, go ye' toys, have some fun.

_{figured, but it's one of those things I tend to compulsively ask about because one day someone might not be talking about the non-book one, and I need to know so I can thereafter avoid that hypothetical person for the rest of eternity}

I was going through some papers of mine, and found that I have evidently written a song while quite drunk at some point. It is a Dwarf Fortress song, but it appears to be based on the intro of the old Winnie the Pooh cartoon. Of all things.

Browsing Newegg for a new mouse, I look in some of their other sections after finding one^{(Any good?)}. They've really expanded their selection since I've last looked through their catalog(a few years I think). They sell some pretty heavy industrial stuff, including an over $750 Big Red Button. Maybe it has something to it that justifies its cost, but my Science skill isn't high enough to determine what that is.

Probably it's designed to withstand very rough conditions; Jets of high pressure steam, underwater, lots of dust, you name it. You *really* don't want your emergency stop button to not work because of a bit of dust...

There's really nothing illegal about a pyramid scheme in principle. As long as you're up front about the details. It's the misleading nature of most of them that makes them illegal.

Edit: Note, it is very dense but it goes through their points of how they defined the initial law and updated it to the changing tactics.

Well, can do. I am awfully sorry...
It is entirely in foreign, I fear, but I think it might be amusing nonetheless, with translation provided.

The song on which it is a terrible rip-off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQcWSmL9HNI

   Jag är på väg, för jag skall möta, min allra bästa dvärg.
(I'm on my way, for I'm going to meet, my very best dwarf.)
   Så kort, full och skäggig, han är ganska läbbig,
(So short, drunk and beardy, he is rather creepy)
   Min Urist, min lille Urist!
(My Urist, my little Urist!)
   Vill ha något gott! Dricker sitt svampbrännvin!
(Want something good! Drinks his mushroom vodka!)
   Urist, min lille Urist! Brännvin är jättegott! Men sedan får dvärgar brått!
(Urist, my little Urist! Vodka is really good! But then the dwarves are in a hurry!)
   Äventyr väntar snart, skrämmande, det är klart! Hur skall han klara det här?
(Adventures await soon, frightening, of course! How will he manage this?)
   Han får en idé, och rätt snart skall du se, att allting är möjligt, för min lille vän!
(He gets an idea, and quite soon you will see, that everything is possible, for my little friend!)
   Åh, Urist, min lille Urist! Han finns alltid där! Han är min trogne slav!
(Oh, Urist, my little Urist! He's always there! He is my faithful slave!)
   Urist, min tappre Urist! Och här är han nu! Min käraste vän Urist-uuu..!
(Urist, my stalwart Urist! And here he is now! My dearest friend Urist-uuu..!)

I can only apologise at this point. It really does not scan very well. And yet, I am quite happy with it. It is dwarfy. If there was a Dwarf Fortress cartoon series, it would be the opening titles, without a doubt.

I was really fond of that Winnie the Pooh show, see (I remember that mother was quite the fan, as well, which indicate some genuine quality). I really enjoy that awful intro, and I am not particularly surprised I d0rfed it up for a lark while drunk.

[Rolan7]

I love it!  I don't care that it doesn't match the song, it does in my head (because I couldn't parse the Swedish(?) even if I tried).  It's very cute (:

Suicide Squad won an Academy Award.

[misko27]

My isolation from TV and advertising in general has gone on for so long that I cannot actually identify half of the movies up for Oscars. I have straight-up never even heard of some of these.

I mean granted, I haven't actually seen a movie in theaters since Star Wars VII, and I can't even remember the one before that at all; but at least I heard of them. Being on the subway everyday exposed me to a lot of advertising. Now, though, I got nothing. Never heard of Moonlight. Never heard of La La Land.

[hector13]

It does seem a lot of the time that movies up for Oscars tend not to be particularly well known.

Or maybe I just don't watch enough television...

Oscar, and it was for Makeup. Which Mad Max won last year so...
