      Leaven: An element, influence, or agent that works subtly to lighten, enliven, or modify a whole

      1. John   14 years ago

        thanks. I looked it up after I posted. Need to work on that timing thing.

      leaven is German for work.

      RACIST!!!

      1. R C Dean   14 years ago

        You people have ruined me. After the Kim Jong Grave Dance of the last day, I can't see "racist" without immediately thinking "lacist".

        And for that, I thank you.

        1. yonemoto   14 years ago

    FYI - for the record, that is either a total ripoff of the modus operandi of the Day Job Orchestra, or else they're subcontracting. I doubt it. They've been doing this stuff for a while, and i'm not sure they'd stoop to calling their new venture "badlipreading".

    See their recent Rick Perry ad here =

    Also, see "Happy in Paraguay", please.

    Fuck a fruit basket.

    1. GILMORE   14 years ago

      Their work with Star Trek is notable...

      "Happy in Paraguay"

      "I'm a Big Chocolate Slut"

      http://www.youtube.com/user/da.....NKqJiMfkUs

      If you find the apple juice references confusing, it's OK. Its a thing.

      1. Joshua Corning   14 years ago

        I think the difference is that DJO is just talking over while BLS is set to music.

  7. Joshua Corning   14 years ago

    WTF!?!?!

    They only go after republicans with this shit mother fucker!!!!

    oh...
