Eurovision anyone?

[matei]

So... not quite Golden Era, but anyone watch the aul Eurovision?

 

[KAT]

we just lost

Ah, well... C&W music, German style. I actually liked the song. It wasn't bad.

I'm happy Finland won. They rocked. Those guys from Lithuania weren't bad either.

We voted for Romania - along party lines. Yer man has a good voice.

Eurovision is a hoot.

 

[BellyTank]

Wow- you still have party lines in Romania?
So much for a modern telecommunications infrastructure...

I dug the German Cowgirls too. Denmark sucked.
Actually those were the only two I saw.

Don't you sometimes think there's some tourism board conspiracy behing this contest?

Terry Wogan is a horrible, horrible man, I'm glad for the World he's only on British TV- we always watch it on BBC prime, for the added Wogan-value.

I'm more in tune with Latin America's version of the Eurovision: The "Festival de Cancion" held every February in Vina del Mar, Chile. Believe it or not, "The Police" played there, way back in 1982.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

You got a problem with Wogan?

Where's me lucky charms?

All I know about the Eurovision Song Contest is what I learned from Monty Python.

I have super fond memories of sitting in Bristol watching Eurovision while drinking mead.

It is tacky entertainment for sure- Eurotrash but an institution and of course, in the UK (you may remember)and on BBC Prime, we have the added charm of the Wogan Beast.

Miss Neecerie- if you're stil out there- I must say, you cut a fine dash in vintage clobber. My compliments M'Lady.

And what is this Eurovision y'all speak of? I'm still a bit confused but have figured out it has something to do with music.

It makes for a fun evening of taking the mickey out of the contestants. Sometimes there are a few good ones - but most of the time they quite tacky.

Ah, well - it is good, clean fun.

Here are this year's winners. A welcome break from the usual pop cheese that we're accustomed to!

Lordi, Lordi, Lordi!

Quite literally the "Monsters of Rock"!

I'm so happy. Not only did Lordi win, but they accrued the most points EVER. I just wish I had placed a bet like my friend did. Won her beer money for her holiday apparently. And she likes her beer!
