    Oh man.. While at it they should investigate possibilities of transforming farts in to sweet music. Plug and play for real.

    Did you actually like it? I heard it was just a bunch of fart and dick jokes for 1.5h and that it was completely pointless and that I shouldn't waste my time. Would you beg to differ?

    It's far from pointless IMO.

    But then I felt The Comedy was far from pointless too, despite a lot of people seemingly to think otherwise.

    As an aside, I find it funny people are suddenly so high brow over fart and dick jokes. I guess if Fellini does it it's high art because he's a known quantity. Then again I'm not really a Fellini fan. When it comes to "embrace the circus of life" type films I much prefer Emir Kusturica.

    Definitely check out Black Cat White Cat.

    You'd need a proper anal embouchure for that.

    Thanks. Not really a fan of fart jokes myself, but everyone doesn't have to like everything. I did however like Black Cat White Cat quite a bit! It has some toilet humor (quite literally) but it has even more audacity and sheer craziness. And it also had a big heart, which is important. I guess the thing I don't like is lowbrow toilet humor just for the sake of being lowbrow toilet humor.

    People that stand at a microphone and say f**k for five minutes. No, it is not funny. Most eleven-year-olds do it, and do it just as well, thank you Boooooo.

    Except for Billy Connolly, of course!

    Note the part around 4:02. Even John Cleese couldn't keep a straight face.

    Medieval jesters were known for farting as part of their acts, and evidentially it was considered humorous enough to entertain royalty.

    But back then you could amuse royalty by making food in the shape of other things (called "a deception"), so it's kinda like everyone had the humor of a five year old back then.

    Which makes sense given how harsh and short life was, I guess!

    Well put. Bodily functions are endless source for crappy comedy, back then and 1000 years to come.

    Another topic: Do you enjoy shmups? I went ahead and sought out only active arcade hall in my home town. It was pure fun. They had many classics (other than shmups too) and it took my way back. Street Fighter II, monkey ball, metal slug etc. If only they had Sega Rally..

    My favorite:

    It depends entirely on the context. Would all my own needs for survival be met? Would I have a family, and if so, would all of their needs be met? Are any of my loved ones (including friends) in desperate need of help? Etc.

    How did I get said money?

    Assuming my life is the way it is now, and I just found $500 in cash on the street, I would most likely give it all to others and charity. I would not feel comfortable using any of that money on myself. But then I consider myself fortunate enough to not need to do so.

    Assuming my life is the way it is now, and someone I knew gave me $500 cash as a gift, I would most likely just put it in the bank.

    Every month I set aside very specific amounts for everyday / healthcare needs, entertainmeant, investments, and others / charities. Then again I have OCD and tend to make lists for everything. Including lists of other lists.

    Shopping advice!

    What gift would you give to someone that isn't an 'audiophile'? I'm talking about a person that loves music, goes to live shows, constantly listens to an iPlayer but just uses the iBuds that came with it. I don't think this person rejects nice gear but just hasn't been exposed to it.

    Also what would your holiday gift guide look like? non-audio and audio items are welcome

    Budget?

    Making a gift guide sounds fun!
    I'll take a crack at it later today.
