Italian singer Adriano Celentano released a song in the 70s with nonsensical lyrics meant to sound like American English—to prove that Italians would just love any American song. And it was a hit.

Good grief that brings back memories. In 1983 I had access to the schools two Apple II EuroPlus computers. That machine had a build in speaker, but could only ever go beep (a single tone of fixed length). I remember digging into the mechanism for how it worked. It turned out to be attached to a memory address. If you stored a 1 in the address the speaker would be pushed out (and stay there) if you stored 0 in would move in, again staying there. To get it to make sound you had to write a program that would alternate a 0 and 1 at a certain frequencies. Within an hour we had it playing a simple tune, if was about as effective as the early versions of that song.

Watching this episode was pretty bittersweet. Although I've always been a WWF guy, I still had a soft spot for WCW and NWA before.

You may joke, but all seriousness? I think Raul Julia would've been a perfect Doctor Doom.
I genuinely feel sorry for Arquette. He didn't ask for any of this shit. And him donating his earnings to those families really raises his estimation in my eyes.

So, the YouTube algorithm believes this is something I would be interested in. Fish breeding. How is your YouTube algorithm today?

Fire. At least one of us gets on-point recommendations. Not fish breeding. You know what?! The Hell with it! I'm going to become a fish breeder! I'll be a grandpa, a great-grandpa, and a great-great grandpa!

I don't think you are meant to actually breed with the fish :)
