So is Applesauce the little-kid swear word?

The schvitz party that the DVD mentions is a bathhouse/sauna/sweat party. Schvitz is Yiddish for "sweat" but it can also be used to refer to a bathhouse.

I hope you aren't suggesting that a bathhouse is an issue. It's all a good time for Teodore. (Apologies for lack of correct accents).

Alt+0233 is the only one I ever learned, because you can use é's literally everywhere

I think you can do that with control-alt-e as well.

The only ones I ever learned were single quotes, for people who were incredibly picky about the formatting of my essays.

Thank you.

Single quotes? Do you do a lot of sub-quotations in your papers?

No roller skate this time though. Everyone is safe.

Also, one major difference between me and the otter: at five, if I'd believed something was the Olympics and been told it was Superman, I would've turned around and gone back to bed, disappointed. Never cared much for Superman, but man, the Olympics...

First Olympics I remember was Munich in '72.  Mark Spitz plus Israeli hostages = memorable.

Single quotes? Do you do a lot of sub-quotations in your papers?

One of my supervisors insisted on them for titles of short essays and poems and what-have-you. Single quotes are the norm over here, but as they're not the norm for the people who make the word processing software it all gets rather fuzzy.

...is an apostrophe different from a single quote visually?

' == 1/2 "

I like to think that's TT Boy in the police hat.

[Ruta Bagas]

It is when your fancy-arse word processor is throwing curly punctuation all over the place.

Those things really spoil us.

What impresses me about the obscure German man-porn Teodor is watching is that it is apparently silent. Not only does the TV make no noise, but the increasingly corrupt young otter is capable of mistaking a film of the rawest thing of dudes for the Olympics. No way would that happen if there were a soundtrack.

The only conclusion we can draw is that this is some kind of old-fashioned stag deal such as a loop from Weimar expressionist times. Maybe it never had sound, or maybe it did and the only sensible thing was to turn it off; it took until after the war for most to realize being in a talkie did not mean you couldn't shut up, and that kind of chatter would be rude to a hard-on. The fact remains that Teodor, in his compulsion to explore his surpressed desires, has stumbled upon a diamond of history in the rough of gay porn.

He has gone from discovering how to weep the weepy-weep way to satiating the homosexual monkey on his back to enjoying a front-row seat to history. And all he can think up to excuse himself is the Man of Steel having a rough day.

Entitlement indeed.

Can'd for German expressionist porn.  That may well be the single most brilliant concept ever introduced into my brain.  I can just imagine the titles:  "Inside the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari."  "Dandy Doormen 7: The Last Laugh."  Also, welcome.

What about the opposite - Olympic events with a '70s porn-groove soundtrack?  We may be on to something there!  You and me gonna reinvent the Olympics, dude.  I just decided this.

Are we talking classy porno or the real skanky stuff? I see it working either way: stereotypical smoky jazz lines mingling classily but faintly demeaningly with women's fencing, or cheap-ass too-early-for-MIDI synth boogie all taking the men's shot put and laying on teh sekksy with a trowel.

All anything as Freudian as the Olympics needs is music to suggest Ron Jeremy could show up at any minute and you've got something perfect.
