You know those gamecube ads

(one of them starts with a gorgeous gothic chick.... phwooooaaarrrr! ... mmmmm... oh yeah where was i?)... Yeah, those ads. Does anyone know what the music is?

sorry, not seen 'em

but valiantly searching the interweb to try to find out!

<edit> you can d/l the ad from here, weighs in at 4.5meg. and yes, she is a bit of alright! </edit>

I don't have a PowerPC (yet)

hello everybody,

Does anyone know an easy way to let my 3 yr old daughter know about the facts of mortality?
Both her goldfish died unexpectedly today, at the ripe old age of five days old.
Tried the cork idea, but she would notice the smell.
She really loved them too, and will be heartbroken and I can't tell her fibs, as she is a very intelligent 3yr old.
/sobs into hands

When I was little

Don't do that, or your little girl might end up like me..

I remember reading some column-thingie

where the writer said that when her grandpa died, her father came to her room that night and said "death is like going to sleep and never waking up" and then... TURNED OUT THE BEDROOM LIGHT and left her there...
I would suggest that this is not a good option. BTW tomsk's idea up there was mine. Just sayin'.

Just switch the fish...

But what if...

they land up in goldfish hell? Who knows what kinds of evil they've been exposed to in a b3tan's household?

(Kimbo, Wed 8 May 2002, 21:57, archived)

try this:

fear death

the end of existance
imagine being asleep, when you wake you cant remember anything from that time (apart from dreams, but when you dont, its like you've not existed for 8 hours)
imagine that. Without waking up.

ever.
the world continues, you are no longer a part of it. time may as well accelerate to infinity. reality will collapse and the entire universe will cease to exist. you were only a part of it for the tiniest fraction of a second.
What influence did you have on the shape of the universe?

none.

whats the point of life?

there is none.

(ok on second thoughts, better not say that)

how about this....

they went to heaven?

(

DaWolfey, Wed 8 May 2002, 20:00, archived)

Or bludgeon them both with a veal tenderiser....

...in front of her. Casually pick them up and swallow them and and then explain about how cattle farms work and ask if she wants any more fish for the farm?

(

she'll understand.

(

pickledpizza Older, nicer, fluffier., Wed 8 May 2002, 20:07, archived)

Can't really give any constructive advice

but you could flush them down the toilet in front of her and say they deserve it cos they had been really naughty. She won't misbehave for the next couple of years if she thinks that's what might happen to her. (not insinuating that MiniPizza is naughty though)

(Nacho, Wed 8 May 2002, 20:01, archived)

she is only as naughty as me

hehehehe

(

pickledpizza Older, nicer, fluffier., Wed 8 May 2002, 20:04, archived)

Tell her the truth

Children are very adaptable, but they believe thier parents. It's very important not to loose this trust.
3 year olds understand death but they don't realise it's permanent. By the time she's worked out it's permanent she'll have forgotten the fish existed.
As for the heaven stuff, entirely up to you.
Trust me. I know about this shit.

WARNING: MUSIC RECOMMENDATION

you are entering a objective opinion free zone!
If you are into the works of Frank Zappa, Avant Garde jazz (eric dolphy etc) then you must acquire music by the band "X-Legged Sally". They broke up a few years ago but the stuff i've got (so far) is outstanding

It's genre would be "avant garde jazz rock". but it has the zanyness of FZ with some highly skilled musicians.

If you think it might be your thing (or not even, its worth a shot) then look them up!!

It's been a long time since i've connected so quickly with a band who's music i've never heard before (and when it comes to music I am very choosy).
