What would you recommend trying to play that with? (PC, Windows, K-Meleon)
I would bet that winamp can play ogg files. These should work.
If W-lfs-n wanted you to hear the song, he would have posted it in a format people actually use.
Do you promise this is worth downloading yet another application onto my laptop?
Seriously, w-lfs-n. Does your elitism know no bounds?
While everyone's installing .ogg codecs, I'd like to point out that McCain wants to "Build a Victory for Prosperity."
I imagine Obama wants to dismantle this victory and install a defeat of poverty.
I'm not going to degrade the quality by transcoding, people.
I can understand that "ogg" files are used on Unfogged, if only because of the name, but does anyone know why they are the only sound file hosted on Wikipedia/Wikimedia pages?
Seriously, w-lfs-n. Does your elitism know no bounds?
Elitism is too vulgar for W-lfs-n, Kraab. He prefers obscurantism.
but does anyone know why they are the only sound file hosted on Wikipedia/Wikimedia pages?
The format is totally open, unlike MP3, which is patented or copyrighted or whatever. (Also unlike AAC, I think.)
does anyone know why they are the only sound file hosted on Wikipedia/Wikimedia pages
My guess would be because it is a free open standard unlike mp3.
On preview pwnd by W-lfs-n.
4: It's a pretty cool song, SK. I'm glad I downloaded.
Seriously, w-lfs-n. Does your elitism know no bounds?
Yeah. You know how much I hate the man and microsoft and the shoddy state of programming today but even I bow to the pressure of the .wav format.
I dig your stolid individualism but this ain't the way to express it man.
a defeat of poverty.
A defeat of poverty would be a victory for prosperity, destroyer. Bad form.
On the other hand, "defeat" could make a good collective noun. A defeat of poor people.
AWB,
4: It's a pretty cool song, SK. I'm glad I downloaded.
Oh sure, stand there and brag about it!
I think Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone (a.k.a. the theme from Top Gun) would be a campaign theme song that both sides could agree is appropriate for Sen. McCain.
I'm not going to degrade the quality by transcoding, people.
'Cause, see, you don't want any sonic degradation when you play it through your tinny laptop speaker.
13: AWB's endorsement tips the balance. A-downloading I will go.
I don't listen to music through tinny laptop speakers, thanks.
Some of us serve our corporate master while seething inwardly but complying with the spy programs which make sure our PCs contain only the standard install image.
In other words I get stupid mine-sweeper since it comes with Windows but anything else is verboten.
I would literally go insane, had I to labor under such a regime.
Man, first w-lfs-n tries to post a cheesecake objectification thread and it goes off the rails, and now he can't even fulfill ogged's other simple duty, posting links to awesome songs to download. Can this blog get any worse?!?!?!?
Perhaps McCain could use this song.
I would literally go insane, had I to labor under such a regime.
Yes. Some call it that. I prefer the term "crazed."
I don't listen to music through tinny laptop speakers, thanks.
Freak.
ogged's other simple duty, posting links to awesome songs to download
When did ogged do this?
This is off The Big Gundown isn't it? What a great song. Funny thing, it really does sound like McCain:
"No one knows better than McCain
Life's a filthy dirty game
Very very hard to win.
No one knows better than McCain
How to disregard the pain
Never, never let it in ...
No one knows better than McCain
Just how angry you can be
When they cage you in with laws."
27: Well, there was the Jackson C. Frank thread...I forget the others.
This is off The Big Gundown isn't it?
Oh good, then I already have it (from a B-Wo compilation) and I don't need to feel excluded.
That was my guess when I saw the post, but the file name confused me since the song is the ballad of Hank McCain.
I can't listen to ogg files at work either. Is this relevant?
|| Obama sex fantasy watch!
Here is article from Bild - the German version of USA Today - on Obama. The (female) Bild reporter happened to be in the hotel gym when he came in to work out. You probably won't understand the German, but you can probably tell what she thinks of his "muscles" and his "powerful back" from all the
exclamation marks.
The last line "WAS FUER EIN MANN", in caps, translates as "WHAT A MAN!" ||>
(Note: I don't actually know German, this was sent to me by a friend of mine who does)
I would literally go insane, had I to labor under such a regime.
would go??
Die Tür geht auf. ER ist es wirklich! ER (1,87 m) ist viel größer, als ich ihn mir vorgestellt habe.
Swoon!
The proximate cause of her "WHAT A MAN!": Obama didn't sweat!
I think the "durchtrainierte Arme, knackige Rückansicht" had something to do with it, too.
The rank sexual objectification of this man is just plain disgusting. He's more than just a guy who looks hot in a tight shirt, you know!
(How would you translate "knackig," German speakers? Tasty?)
She's saying he looks firm from the back, I believe.
"Knackig" in this context would usually be rendered as "taut" or "hard". The literal meaning falls somewhere between the English "crisp" and "crunchy". It describes, for example, the property of a vegetable before it wilts, or the property of a sausage that snaps when you break it in two, like a Frankfurter.
Knecht, would you liken Obama's essence more to a firm cucumber, or a firm sausage?

Considering that the Bild reporter was using a circumlocution for his ass, I'm going to go with "two heads of purple cabbage".
38: Ah! I knew it was food-related. I've seen the adjective in the context of "knackiger Wurst," or "knackiger Po." I still want an English equivalent word that does the same work. "Crisp" sounds like a good candidate.
I've seen the adjective in the context of..."knackiger Po."
Presumable you meant to write "I've heard" rather than "I've seen".
I still want an English equivalent word that does the same work.
Tumescent.
On reflection, "turgid" is much better.
I think a clothing company that made it fashionable to wear short shorts with the word "TURGID" across the seat would be a net positive for humanity.
This week's The Nation has an interesting take on the sexual significance of Obama too.
BBC:
Women who wear the wrong kind of bra could be damaging their breasts, researchers have warned.
Here's my chance to turn a favored avocation into my vocation.
49 reminds me that I have seen several times in recent months bumper stickers with the pink ribbon symbol and the slogan "Save the tatas".

For men, shouldn't it be across the front?
Also, no short shorts for straight men -- baggy shorts would be required.
Interesting syntax at the end of the link in 49: especially after breastfeeding and the menopause. I've never heard a No. American put an article before the last word.
They said that during exercise, breasts move up to 21cm (8.26inches), up and down, in and out and side to side - but most bras just limit vertical movement.
Somewhere in an old thread or post there's a link to a sports bra company that has animated demos of this motion in different types of bras.
