Your KOOK video of the day. -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 08:03
As I was checking into my Osaka hotel tonight, a band was playing in the lobby cafe/bar. They medleyed Livin' La Vida Loco into Hotel California. -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 07:28 7
- Nice. When I was in Cancun all those years ago a local band with a hot female lead did The Logical Song. It is one of my more vivid trip memories. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:31 6
  - vivid because of the song or because of the hot chick? -- nm - decline Aug 9, 07:35 1
    - The whole deal. They were a good band, but my Spanish is weak and the songs were theirs. So it was good but it ascended when they broke that out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:37
  - yea, I'd love that. -- nm - mud Aug 9, 07:32 3
    - That was the same trip we went to Planet Hollywood and some song we had never heard came on. Every girl in the place started doing a dance. - Spawn Aug 9, 07:35 2
      - heh -- nm - mud Aug 9, 07:36 1
        
        Amy and I thought it was some local song and that they had been doing it for years. It was maybe 6 months later the song blew up. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:38

Word of the day: Natation. Do you know what it means without looking it up? I had no idea. -- nm - GregW Aug 9, 07:17 22
- It's a familiar word in Spanish and French so yes. -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 08:05
- Yes, it is swimming, or 'the action of floating'. Not sure how it would be used for that 2nd definition. Strongbad is right about the pronunciation. -- (link) - GregW Aug 9, 07:37 1
  - Yeah, I thought it was simply "floating". -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:39

- Thought about it, took a guess, was right. *pats self on back* (spoilers) - Baron Universe Aug 9, 07:21 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 9, 07:23
- Better yet, is it pronounced - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 9, 07:21
- that's not even a word! :) -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 07:21
- i had a guess, then looked it up. i was incorrect. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 07:20

    - I just wish they had a fundamental reason to leave a planet. Not sure exactly what form that would take. In Elite Dangerous it happens because you - oblique Aug 9, 07:09 6
