That would also make an awsome TV ad. A scene in a hospital where someone ::gasp!!:: comes out from a coma, finds himself in a land where everyone gets along.

xyber, this is the first time I see that new icon used logically.

I think this would be really funny Maybe PC user will still not get it and continue to remain in coma. I feel bad for them.

Buy some of that print transfer stuff and make yourselves one!!

I don't know if you've heard of a girly clothes shop called Warehouse, but me and all my mates had WHOREHOUSE tee's that we made for our first year of Uni...

Looked just like the real thing, and it was very amusing when we were all out wearing them!

I see it as prodding, as in "wake up", "pay attention" or "hey, you! Can I ask you a question?"

Don't feel bad ...

reminds me of the scene in Austin Powers in Goldmember when he pokes the mole's mole with a stick. So, the smiley means "MO-LAY-MO-LAY-MO-LAY" to me.

Oh well, to each his own.

Is Goldmember the latest Austin Powers flick? Haven't seen that one yet. I guess I should check it out.

Here's how I rank the 3 Austin power's films

The first one comes in at # 2, it was funny, and had it's moments, but other than a feww chuckles didn't really excite me.

The second defiantly 3rd place, I actually hate this one, I dodn't care for it at all.

And the 3rd one (Goldmember), I absolutly love! I always find myself laughing from beinging to end, and own it on DVD.

I thougt it was the worse....

The jokes were shallow, and just repeated from the first two films..

The storyline was... Hmmm... Non existant!

It was basically crap, but becuse the first two were good, they new people would go and see it, and so make some money from it.

i thought the first 2 were...different

Austin Powers 1 - Sweet, silly comedy that was original and very entertaining.

Austin powers 2 - Silly comedy taking the original up a notch and being very sucessful at making you laugh outloud.

Austin Powers 3 - Attempting to take the comedy up another notch but not as sucessful as #2 (haha).

Now #3 was OK, but still better than "Dude, where's my car? So i would not mind seeing another. Elizabeth Hurley was the best "Powers" girl.
