Two years later, the phrases "Don't run with scissors" and "don't stick your tongue to the flagpole" also cane into Austria's parental landscape.

I swear his lips were getting bluer and bluer, but still he persisted in finding some way to get air enough to keep talking. Still at the end though, while he was pretending to be saddenned by the fact that his buddy joined the triplets at the swinging german sex toy, (and who wouldn't) I prefer to think that he was finally dying and trying to cover it up by turning his head away.

Let's see there's Madonna, Micheal Jackson, Star Trek 2, 3, 4, 5 ... Weird Al, The Smurf's, The Snorks, Hulk Hogan's Rocking Wrestling, and the list goes on... The Smurf's ya know the sad thing is I never saw how wrong that show really was. I mean 100 men and only 1 woman what the $%&@!!! The Snork's were no better with the under the sea theme, I swear in one episode the squid pet dog thing Oky or whatever, cut one I saw bubbles come from the wrong place.

Obviously that era of Austrian greatness has been surpassed, as the 1980's clearly ushered in a new golden age.
