@Serolf Divad: Ditto here. Talk about being truly portable.

@timgray: Excellent point. It's amazing how quickly the number of apps running in the background can stack up if you're not keeping an eye on them.

@F*ckin' Mireille: how does she work?: Your comment pre-supposes that Madonna can actually sing. Ever heard her live? She's a brilliant marketer...but her recording career is the product of highly talented audio engineers.

Having lived in southern Sweden for the past 8 years, I have a theory for why manpris are more popular in Europe: lack of central air-conditioning. It's amazing how much cooler your body can feel just by exposing your ankles.

Leave Ashley's Juggs out of it! Though I guess I should admit I've had a soft spot for her ever since "Ruby in Paradise."

@Tom: No kidding. Given how long Google took to make available to everybody in the US, I suspect the rest of the world should not be holding its breath.

@Murdermonkey: You and your unicorn wrangler supermodel wife are my new heroes.

Delighted (but not necessarily surprised) that so many fellow Jezzies wanted to be boys when they were kids.

@chévere? chévere!: @KatyLou: I've always found her completely charming. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

@cisengineer: I agree. This "hack" sounds like way more of a mess-maker than it's worth.

@arienh4: Ditto that. One consolation...by the time they open up the service to some place other than the U.S., most of the kinks ought to be worked out.

@Emmersct: So true. Over here in Sweden you'd get laughed off the street for a rickety ride like that...if Swedes were inclined to laugh in the street, I mean. Strollers in Scandinavia can double as off-road SUV's.

@ArnoldJulisa: Thanks for sharing the story about your Mom. I hope you'll comment more now that you've "tapped the keg", so to speak. As much as I love reading Jezebel, I love the musings of the commenters even more.

@BrightonShiny: Yep. There are elements of the legendary Bob Fosse, j-setting, jazz, tap and hip-hop in there. This song has yet to get much air-play here in Vikingland because Swedish commercial radio wants to wear out "If I Were a Boy" first. But my obsession with this video has taught me more about dance in the…

Add my voice to those mystified by the popularity of RTM. I want to love this app because of all the ways you can interact with it, but the RTM web interface is a total pain-in-the-@$$.

When your alarm goes off at 5:15 on weekdays, 7 a.m. "feels" like sleeping in late. Plus, I find that if I sleep longer than 8 hours, I wake up with a headache...or as my partner calls it, a "sleep-hangover."

@TwoScoops Ditto that. I especially loved it when she bitch-slapped Ann Coulter over the phone while the Wicked Witch of the Right was making and appearance on MSNBC last summer. I blogged about it here: [shazzerspeak.blog-city.com]

Having nearly memorized the original when my nieces and nephews were young, I am equal parts amused and mortified that this children's classic is being used to parody President "What-Me-Worry?" At least we can all be fairly confident that he's never read it.

@Pdxjones: No kidding, I'm saving these images for posterity under the title, "The pics that turned Jezebel commenters into a warm puddle of goo." Clearly I'm in good company here (as usual). AJ looks positively serene.

Clearly the Swedish penchant for practicality starts early. Too bad they're not exchange students who could submit the drawers as a cutting-edge 4-H Project. (Now THAT would be inventive.)
