Fingerpori Levyraati was an old Finnish TV show, where they would play music videos for hot songs and then a panel of musicians and journalists would rate them. For this one I have no idea. A musician friend says that the theme song for Mission Impossible is indeed in 5/4 time signature, so that might be the joke. The Finnish word used here can mean both rating and estimate, so maybe the joke is that Heimo thought he should estimate the song's time signature? Who knows.

I was just thinking of the strip the other day where Dethany told this lady that if they hire her as a business consultant, she's still going to tell the abusive boss every single progress they've made.

Scarlet has the kind of iron will where she'd just get a gun and go around righting wrongs if she didn't have the superpower. It's such a goofy strip but the writing is surprisingly tight.  No fear.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Fingerpori That's what I would assume for the punchline, yeah. 5/4 songs are relatively uncommon, though not unheard of (and there's enough music out there that "uncommon" means there's still a hundred of them). The most well-known (to me) would probably be The Mission Impossible Theme, Take 5, Everything's Alright from JC Superstar, and Mars, Bringer of War (this one plays a lot more with rhythm than the other examples so can be difficult to catch, I had to check the sheet music to be sure when I found out).

A+J   We got our last cars just before all the touchscreen stuff took off (2014 and 2015) and we're REALLY hoping to make them last until the trend swings back to proper buttons.

In case you don't have your war timeline in front of you, we are currently in the thick of the German offensive against the Soviets, and some individual on the Soviet side has been firing up a transmitter and laying a poo poo-talking running commentary over the top of the regular German radio broadcasts. It's wasn't the hardest trick to do with pre-digital radio, which was underlined when the Nazis very quickly began pulling the same stunt on the BBC Home Service.

So I guess that's it, then? We don't get any resolution for Grandma Forth acting like an rear end in a top hat or how Sally being so non-confrontational made things worse. Just one strip having her play being a victim in that mess and another strip going back to the status quo of her being critical of everything. Maybe they'd come back to it after this part with Hil's friend, but it was still an unsatisfying end.

No, not beyond the one I highlighted in the commentary. The Finnish text literally translated is: "And there we heard the theme song from Mission Impossible." "What rating / score / estimate does Heimo give?" "5/4"

I've heard that the pendulum is beginning to swing away from stupid touchscreen bullshit. The new hotness is nickel-and-diming customers by charging you for basic accessories that should come for free.

Every time I drive my car (parking brake operated by left foot) I grasp for the electric parking brake control, and every time I drive my wife's (electric parking brake) I stomp my foot around looking for the pedal.
