Like the translation make any sense, but anyway. The original isn't really Estonian either, it is apparently from a tourist dictionary

This song is the worst song that has entered Eurovision since.... Verka Serduchka - the Ukrainian Dame Edna, last year. I am still scared of the guy who was humping the piano.... argh! It is awful, ear-bleeding rubbish and... well Verka came second last year so this might win. I mean since when has talent been a requirement to win Eurovision anyways.

 

Just like all but 5 of his years entries, this has to claw its way from a Semi, and I sincerely hope it doesn't, I dont think I could bare to see this twice over Eurovision weekend.

I have a soft spot for Estonia since Ruffus sung 'the eighties are coming back' in 2003, but I am learning to hate Tallinn and its surrounds, I really am.

those lyrics are absolutely amazing - they make me want to give them to a classical english teacher - you know the sort, who get you to analyze "the lord of the flies" and expect you to come up with the same answers that they were expected to get 60 years ago.

There's repetition, but the cohesion between phrases is so low (is it possible to have negative cohesion? phrases that literally repel the meaning from each other?), it is almost impossible to interpret a meaningful response, any interpretation given seriously would be delusional enough, that it would lack consistency, and wouldn't stand under rational inspection.

Kinda like Ketchup on Lobster (for those who watch Red Dwarf).

Today's lesson learnt (okay, yesterday's as well) - don't take eurovision's lyrics seriously.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

the only real lesson is the geography lesson I am subtly putting in there. thats all Eurovision is. look at who gives points to who and you learn the geography of Europe

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Ahh, it becomes clearer!

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

yes, who said Europe was united?

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

I heard Europe was divided by a common interest. Or was that currency?

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

I thought their common interest was taking down america...

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, now if only they could agree on how to do that....

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

damned politics

dont let germany do it because they are hopeless at taking over, they proved that twice. Maybe let russia have the first crack, no-one fvcks with russia

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Germany have had their turn - pitty, I'd rather a bit of their emphasis on quality would rub off on ameria - a bit more quality over quantity would do well there.

Hmm, that could be fun, we'd lett Russia have a crack at taking over america, then when they win, we get to see america fragment into 51.5 nation states, then in around 10 years re-unite (aka re-spawn), so someone else would have a shot.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

yep and the official language in the southern states when they fragment will be mexican, because they were all part of Mexico before being assimilated into the US after some war anyway and half of the other fragmented states will have names that end in stan

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

I can see it now, "washingstan DC"

Mind you, it'd make it a bit harder for whoever went next - the military would have to work harder to get the soldiers to take the war seriously.

Who else? Greece already think they've taken over western civilisation (we're just taking care of it for them, based on their philosophies).

Maybe Albania - they produced Mother Theresa, who went up against America's politicians already, after Russia's had a crack they may be ready to give it a go.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

maybe Cyprus will unite against the common enemy, then go back to fighting each other. Even Switzerland... they cant sit on the fence forever.... Austria can put their Navy against the US and sing them to death... 'The fields are alive with the agonising screams of Americans dying painfully'... wait, thats not how it goes...

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

I can see there would be quite a queue, we could try a roster system - give one month of the war to one country, the next to annother - except the French wouldn't care, they'd just fight when they want to.

That way America would have to adjust their war strategy every month - and by the time they've figured out how to fight their opponent, they'd have faced two more since - and those trade embargoes wouldn't even have time to get through before they're onto a new opponent. If we can have a few judges we could have a point based (or voting) system to award the most interesting countries with an extra round (maybe even some funding towards it) - any extra expenses would be covered by making it into a reality TV show, and selling it to the american TV stations. Anything goes on reality TV, so if America raises an objection we can say "it's a reality TV show" and they'd say "oh, go ahead then".

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

I am thinking somewhere like Finland should start the attack, somewhere the US cant drop a bomb. also Europe has to drop a couple bombs in Israel, seeing they are so friendly with the US and Europe cant have a surprise attack start there. besides, one good bomb and Israel will become a peaceful little place

even one good bomb may not be needed... give Syria, Lebanon and the Saudis all the bombs they need to take out Israel.... then once they have done there, those countries will be sure to help Europe annihilate the US

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Pity, I was wondering what it would take to include Israel in the show - you know, kinda like an intruder, or surprise contestant. They could do a lot of damage from within.

Still, I think if Israel would be taken out of the map, there would be a free-for-all in it's place (if the temple is still there, everyone wants to own it, if it got bombed, everyone wants to get the person who owns it - and everyone will blame someone else). Now if we could get america to bomb the temple they'd have everyone on their backs. Including themselves...

Then again, the raining of fire down on Jerusalem is part of the armageddon prophecies isn't it? It would be a real shame if we couldn't air the last epoisode because doomsday hit and the world blew up (or superman dies - I get them mixed up sometimes) - especially if it was caused by the program. I'd hate to have superman's death on my conscience...

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

it is easy to get America to bomb said temple... get them to aim at something in the middle of Russia. with the accuracy of American artillery, it is sure to misfire into Israel.

hasn't it all ready rained down fire on Jerusalem in previous wars and attacks? I mean seriously... what are the Palestinians good for if they are not going to signal Armageddon for us?

I am thinking too... if Israel is the intruder... is Australia Gretel Kileen?

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Australia would be Big Brother - but the Occa accent would give it away, we may have to get Japan to do it, or maybe Vanuatu (no-one would know where to bomb if they got upset).

I guess we could go Gretel Kileen, but I'm a bit worried about some of the books she's written. I haven't read any, and "Every Girls Geek Guide" sounds good - female geeks are a rare and precious commoditty, to be treasured and valued. But "Hot Buns and Ophelia get a Bloke" - sounds like it's meant to be a children's book AND a dating guide at the same time - that's just a bit scary. The group listed of books she wrote listed in Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretel_kileen) is pretty scary.

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

when I was in High school, one of my 'friends' gave me a Gretel kileen diary for my birthday, it was a big pink thing with space to update (though not much for weekends, when you would need the most) and random 'wit' from ms kileen herself. i disliked it immensely.

you are right though, big brother is watching and it has to be China. try o bomb that!

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

So instead of a Gretel, let's throw in a unique twist, Australia could be a "Steve Irwin" (before the manta ray) as the main host.

You could imagine it well "now the amazing thing about this army is it's formation, but don't get too close or CRIKEY!"

And you're right, China is the only choice for "Big Brother" - though I wasn't going to say that (I don't know if you heard, but I've been asked to go to China to prepare for the olympics, and you can never be too carefull - Big Brother IS Watching [ME]).

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

the host can be the manta ray... that would be a bigger twist.

mmm china... beautiful one day.... and i cant tell you the rest.

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Everybody loves a host that you can hate - and who better than the manta ray? There's one better, who also has experience in the area - zombie hitler, the most hated man alive (10 points if you can get the quote).

Maybe we can upload Steve Irwin's consciousness into the manta ray as a co-host - anyone know if the ray was male or female?

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

I think I heard it at binky's because I know I heard it recently but I cant pick it, and it is gong to drive me mad.

and it was male because it had a big prong.... thats the same logic me and binky used years ago by going to a celebrity cross dress party as the bananas in pyjamas.

[eldaeb.livejournal.com]

Hmm... That makes it a bit harder then, there's the rule that you need a host of each gender. The third host must have two options from the following list:
Mascott
Hermaphrodite
Gay
Lesbian
Someone who failed miserably at hosting a simmilar show
A celebrity who's there just to draw attention

So, we've got 1 and 3 (both options could fill either position), but we'll still need a female host that can match up with the others. Any suggestions?

p.s. to stop you going mad, heres a clue as the quote: It is from a webcomic (so you may have heard it second hand - then again, the webcomic could have been quoting from somewhere else too, they tend to do that....)

[jakie-em.livejournal.com]

either s*p or lfg

julian clary?
