Don't you believe it, Norway! It's more proof of the Satanic influence
of the "War on Terra"!

Looks like the Newsay reporter needs to learn Norwegian. The norwegian
article talked about the pictures that were being discussed "all over the
US" and it said "It could however be that she's trying to do the sign of
university of Texas Longhorns, They are very much alike"
So to sum it up... Hardly anyone over here paid attention to it, Don't think
it was on any TV news, and it was only a small article about it on the
internet website of the biggest commercial TV station..........

You can watch the Hook'em Horns sign on ESPN2 Sat. Jan. 29, 9:00 PM EST when
Texas plays Kansas in basketball. It will be a bit harder to spot since the
game is in Kansas, but if you watch the whole game I sure you will see it.

Should be a good game between two teams in the top 15.

An eighth as many UT alumni as Norwegans.

But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a war over who's more
Satanic.

I didn't count the extended families of the University of Texas alumni, so
that should actually make it pretty close..

You have a poor grasp of grammar and your retort was substandard.

It's lame no matter how you slice it - as a witty remark, an album or a
newsgroup post.

It also resembles the "I love you" that the blind use in their
sign language, does it not?

Hail to the Chic gives you a great album title, plus an excellent
excuse to fill the cover with hot chicks wearing Nazi accouterments.
Great marketing potential.

Excuse me, I forgot how badly sarcasm translates, and how humour doesn't
quite exist on the net. ;)
