Yes because the fifth element is so hard to get.... Being TBS or TNT plays the movie at least 5 times a week

It is an awesome movie, though.

According to wikipedia, the TV version of the movie edits out Chris Tucker's recording of a woman moaning. That was hilarious.

From the only reliable source on internet memes:
Encyclopedia Dramatica wrote:Caturday is a 4chan /b/ meme that involves mass-posting of images containing cats and cat related objects, like kittens. An average Caturday thread reaches around 300 to 400 posts, complete with retarded 4chan catchphrases and "DESU DESU DESU."
So basically all of these cat images and memes (like "I'm in ur X, Ying ur Z") are offshoots of 4chan, which has been scientifically proven to be the originator of 87% of all internet memes (including Chuck Norris).

P.S. - I hope quoting innocuous sections is OKAY.

Based on at least one previous decision of the moderating staff, if a warning is necessary, the link is not allowed. Sorry

So here are the entries in the grill contest-

My hideous Pall Wall
Kent's Shark
Chris's not sure what that was (but it's gone now)
Chad's cooking grill

Today's your last chance to enter, so if you do post something here to let me know.

You tried refreshing? Otherwise, you'd probably have to clear the cache and nobody really wants to do that.

I declare historyman the champion, as he certainly made the most creative grill avatar. I love it.

Chris gets most enthusiastic Paul Wall poster for other posts, although his avatar was just average.

Kent- wow. Most unexpected avatar, certainly

Mine - most hideous picture ever made. Here it is for posterity: Image

Back to cats, but get new ones folks.
