Heh, I don't know what that's *supposed* to be, but read the words on the borked interface to yourself, while applying a Scottish accent! In fact, the borky spellings almost take care of the accent themselves O.o

Disclaimer: no offence intended to any Scots, of course

LOL, thank you for that; I'm just getting to the point where I'm starting to wonder when I will start getting 'old'....

I'd check those out, but I'm not sure if A) I have the plugins needed to watch them, assuming they're video; and B) I haven't the bandwidth to conveniently/enjoyable watch them (again assuming they're videos) --

What is it?? Mork & Mindy, (Just a guess) which btw was maybe *just* at the end of its useful life when I was about 3 years old?!

Without checking, it's the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show. Still hilarious.

Ahh ok Sasha. They're standard flash video. Well worth checking out when you have the bandwidth as they're classic.

Anyway, to answer your question in the meantime.
bork bork bork


PS. You know you're getting old when you start saying "They don't make TV like that anymore" a lot.
