Which didn't even have the decency to call itself "Weapons of Mass destruction"

"This Korean barbecue is great."
"Gracias, señor."

It's basically a soft-textured fish, pretty much always served with a bit of sweet sauce in Japanese cuisine.

Chicken with heavy bones in it.

Dailymotion's main advantage over YouTube is that no-one cares about it enough to actually remove large quantities of copyright-violating material.

If you want a realistic version of Lockjaw, just step on this rusty nail.

I've been watching the anime version by the directors who'd go on to found Ghibli, which is apparently very close to the book, and it's good.

On the spot, you might think you could have missed or forgotten about something, though….
