Ha! Thats a funny story! Although it's probably exaterated, the only time I ordered from amazon.co.uk to the US it came in a couple of days. Maybe they feel bad about that whole "American Revolution" thing and know they're paying back in shipping times! :P

Since we are talking about internatioanl fans, I was curious if Europe and Asia and all those other continents had their own version of Al. I know there are parodists everywhere, but is there like a Sudanese guy who has had a long career doing parodies? Or is Al like the only long timer who stayed successful?

We've had a couple but no-one really cares.

Parodies don't go down too well here. Don't know why.

Though for some strange reason, Al has a huge fanbase here. Very paradoxical!

They used a couple of his songs on last year's Big Brother UK. Just remembered that. I thought it was an insult to Al. But still ran around my house yelling at my mum "OMG! Weird Al!!!!"

And there's a Scottish comedy called Still Game and there was an episode in which the two main characters (along with the regulars) are stranded on a bus with a weirdo driver and for the ad they used "Another One Rides The Bus" :D

Thanks, Mewrio! I love it how he thinks Al, he thinks Fat. It always seem people either associate him with "Fat" or "Eat It".

The Simpsons episode "3 Gays Of The Condo" was on Sky One here in the UK last night...... but thanks to kickboxing, I missed it again!



I really need to get it on DVD. <_<
