...right, the bit is a joke, a trompe l'oeil of forced perspective. But it's one of dozens, a veritable sluice, of gags about penis size, urine, excrement and farts. In silhouette, Austin appears to gratify himself in nearly impossible ways. Fat Bastard, the studiously repellent Myers character whose very image is an affront to this hallowed page, expels something into his shorts, then muses on whether it's solid, liquid or gas. The film's title says its wit is in its groin. Laugh or groan at Goldmember - and Myers wants you to do both...
...grisly years of 1973-74, a downturn driven not just by a sick economy but by disillusion over everything from Vietnam to Watergate. This too is a summer not of one scandal but of many--the Roman Catholic Church, and the FBI, and Major League ballplayers on steroids.

While Batt was still "in hysterics", his label, EMI, had already coughed up a first installment of €460 to them. Batt wants it back, denies any intellectual infringement and says, "I'm not backing down and neither are they...
DURHAM, N.C.—One of my all-time favorite Far Side cartoons depicts a student at Midvale School for the Gifted trying to open a door labeled “pull” by pushing as hard as he can. The joke is simple, straight to the point and excruciatingly true. Few will deny that gifted children, for all their intellectual and academic talents, are often some of the most scatter-brained and socially inept people imaginable...
