I’ve only seen his comments and heard stories, but it seems the ramblings of SD still haunt the SWDB halls 
.
Sure, cause it is great, great entertainment, … well on one hand, and unfortunately a bit tragically on the other hand.
I was watching Ren & Stimpy today and noticed they used music from Forgotten Pistolero in this episode. 
Spongebob episodes used those tracks from “Pistolero” as well. Mostly the older episodes.
Is it Friday yet? Also anyone got plans for the weekend? I have 3 kids so my plans revolve around them. We’re gearing up for our Florida trip (after Easter) and got to plan stuff out.
Its my Birthday next monday, but my we are all working, so were are going out for a nice meal Sunday. Not sure about saturday though.
Now this is work of genius

Yes, lovely
I saw a documentary on Gene Kelly’s work as a dancer and (especially) choreographer a couple of years ago. he was a brilliant man.
I’ve no desire to politicize the Spaghetti Western Database but I hope to God that my European SWDB brothers based in Belgium and their friends/loved ones are safe in light of the latest atrocities being committed in Brussels this morning.

Thanks. I live in Belgium and I am safe.
I am Dutch, btw, but my wife is Belgian (and so was my mother) and I remember the words spoken by German prime minister Gerhard Schröder on the night of 9/11
“Today we are all Americans.”
Great words spoken by a politician, you don’t hear that very often.
Today we are all Belgians.
I’m afraid we’ll have to live with these terror attacks in Europe. In the last 12 months we’ve seen Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan and now Zaventem (that’s the name Brussels Airport is referred to by Belgians). We brought the war home by a series of stupid decisions and actions and this war is going to be a long one

Its good to hear you’re okay. I got home from work and turned on the radio, and its sounds horrific. Those poor people.
Figured you’d be safe Scherps (Turnhout is not Brussels) but glad to hear you’re ok nonetheless. We are an international community here which brings events like these closer to home. We really are all Belgians today.
Right, i earned two badges “contributor” and “member”. I feel like blessed. But “member”. It’s “for participating over a period of weeks to truly join our community.” Jeez, i’ve been participating here for aaaaaaages. And that damn AI doesn’t know. 
(I know, new forum etc)
“Member” is actually a trust level, which will allow you to do more things, and it required you to do a certain amount of things in the forum before being granted. “Contributor” is one I just set up manually to award to everyone (by hand) who contributes to the SWDb. It requires that user to be part of the group of the same name. I will try to make this group/badge as accurate as possible over the next few days.
sure, i understand
No more Union Jack in the near future?
It’s dark days here currently with an ageing middle England population feeling nostalgic for simpler times and condemning the next generation to a future where they will not only be out of Europe but in all likelihood without a United Kingdom too. Sadly, those who voted for it will largely not be those who have to live with it.

On the upside, a crazy alternate future will see Ireland re-unite and join the EU, and Scotland break off and join it as well, with a new-found Kingdom of England and Wales (aka KEW) applying for EU membership
I’m not going to get too political on here - one of the SWDB forums’ greatest strengths IMHO is its steadfast apolitical approach; I’ve seen other interest-specific forums rip themselves to unnecessary bits once everyone decides to talk politics - but,having voted REMAIN and having been somewhat choked this morning to find we’re making such a seismic change on a majority of less than 2 million people, I’m going to try to embrace it as far as I can from hereon in. What’s done is done, and now we’re at this stage I don’t want to have been proved right in my beliefs, because if I was right, if REMAIN were right, then I’m fcked, my son is fcked, and so on and so forth. I want to be proved conclusively wrong now.
My own mother (77 yrs): “We can’t keep having foreigners, every colour under the sun, nicking all the houses.”
A client of my wife’s (my wife works for Age UK): “We didn’t beat the Krauts in two world wars just so they can tell me what shape my bananas should be.”
Foreigners, Germans, and bananas. Jesus Christ. I’m sure a huge percentage of the UK population don’t truly know what they’ve voted for (on both sides of the argument in fairness). The naked racism displayed by my own family members has been… well look, different generation and all that, but it’s been upsetting all the same.
I’ve always been fine defining myself as English OR British OR European (or even French, thanks to a Gallic influence five or six generations back in the family tree; I listen to Serge Gainsbourg and everything!). Made no odds. Conversely though, today’s events have left me feeling far more European than ever before, and a damn sight less English. 
I’m going to learn German as some weird form of solo Brexit protest. Achtung, baby! (I was going to register my dissatisfaction by withdrawing my support for England at the Euros but I already want France or Croatia to win anyway as it is 
)
