One is reminded of the [tagline](http://www.avp-movie.com/us/flash/wallpapers/avp01/1024.html) for the upcoming movie _Alien vs Predator_.

Didja notice Jim Meskimen in the credits? He was on an episode or 2 of the British “Whose Line”. He did a pretty good improvisation of a jazzy song on one show.

There is something about it. I’ve probably seen it at least 10 times since I first found it.

And now I can’t look at a picture of Kerry without hearing him sing “And I won three purple Hearts!”

There’s something about Bush’s voice. It’s well done, but it sounds (to me) like the exterminator character on “King of the Hill”.

And now we have worked their hamsters to death. The site is down. So is the site they send you to. Poor little hamsters. ☹

My local 9 o’clock news just ran a story on this, so I ran a search to see if it had reached the Dope yet.

Why am I surprised that it has?

9+3=14

If you’re getting a slow download, try going to [the Atom Films intro page](http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/this_land_af) and clicking on the “watch movie” button.

[I got a link in an email which went straight to a very, very slow loading server, so I started at the Atom Films home page, used their links, and it loaded Way, Way Faster™.]

They appear to be doing much better with the load balancing now… and it’s still funny as hell!

How dey do dat?
