Historical events in the history of the world's most Swedish hamburger chain that sells hamburgers. It's in Swedish so allow me to translate for U:
1968 Maximilian von Sydow, 19, opens a grill place in the Swedish town called Gulliver.
1970 von Sydow's bizniz expands.
1971 The bizniz expands even further and von Sydow legally changes his name to Maximilian von Burgare. History is in the making
1975 History is made.
Etc.
Hey there, you. You thought I was gonna forget about Udo Tuesday, didn't you? Ha ha, IDIOT! Of course I DIDN'T. No way who say, I say. Me never forget an Udo. No. Not even in the face of Armageddon.
For those of you joining SUPERBLOG!! for the very first time or the first time in a while or who suffer from amnesia, Udo Tuesday is the time of the week when we drink people's beer and ROCK OUT and celebrate an Udo. This time the honor goes to Udo Dirkschneider, a German heavy metalist who used to sing in the heavy metal band Accept and later formed the heavy metal band U.D.O., which might possibly stand for Udo Something Something.
Little known Udo facts:
This concludes this Tuesday's Udo Tuesday.
Today, like all Tuesdays on SUPERBLOG!!, is UDO TUESDAY. On Udo Tuesday we drink people's beer and eat bratwurst and celebrate an Udo. This time the Udo that was picked is German Kult Aktor Udo Kier.
Some little-known Udo facts:
As we all know, a woman's place is in the kitchen, making coffee. And if her coffee is sucky, it doesn't matter how pretty she is or how good head she gives, she's still a BAD WIFE, and should be made to feel bad.

People have like totally stopped commenting on this blog but there was a time when people did and so did I and that time was 2005 and here's 3 things I said:
May 31, "Women on the Internet":
you won't get fucking PUBES in the CAKE if you simply refrain from STICKING YOUR DICK IN IT. It's not rocket science.
October 17, "Superblog!! Enemies #2: The Morally Bankrupt Sammy Sneeze":
It makes you cooler than a sack of cool!
September 11, "Happy Anniversary, Usama bin Laden!":
Personally, I never lend stuff to known terrorists. They die on a mission and then you never get your things back.
2005 was like the golden age of SUPERBLOG!!. Everything since has been a slow crawl towards death.

Instead, he just serves coffee in this YouTube clip from Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. That's right: Bill Groundhog-Day Ghostbustin'-Ass Murray. Serving coffee and talking with some musicians.

Bill Murray as Nick the Lounge Singer from Saturday Night Live back in the day. Awesome video and audio quality.
I just noticed: In over 60 million years of blogging, I have only ever mentioned the typeface Comic Sans, and my intense hatred of it, once.
Then again, most intelligent people hate Comic Sans so some might say it needn't even be mentioned. It's like saying Nazism is bad.
But in case you somehow remain unaware of its crimes against humanity, you should know there is a concerted effort to ban it. Comic Sans, I mean. Not Nazism.
This public service message was inspired by recently seeing Comic Sans get a kicking in mainstream media: Typeface Inspired by Comic Books Has Become a Font of Ill Will. (Via The Beat.)
Bonus linkage: Letterer Todd Klein explains why Comic Sans sucks.
I made a list of it:
Columbo: Swan Song (1974)
The Pillow Book (1996)
Lola rennt / Run Lola Run (1998) (R)
Blade: Trinity (2004)
Ne le dis à personne / Tell No One (2006) (R)
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny (2006)
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007)
Bigger Stronger Faster* (2008)
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008)
Semi-Pro (2008)
The Spirit (2008)
Valkyrie (2008)
Mr. Show: Season 2 (1996, 6 episodes)
The Office: Season 1 (2005, 6 episodes) (R)
Damages: Season 2 (2009, 13 episodes)
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (2009, 3 episodes)
Now I will tell you what you should think about them: The Columbo episode stars Johnny Cash as the killer (not as Columbo) and it's okay but not one of the all-time great episodes. You will be bored by Greenaway's Pillow Book even if it seems like it's actually kind of good and since you like some other Greenaway movies a lot I guess it's possible you would have liked this one too if you had concentrated more on the film instead of whatever it was you were doing at the same time. Run Lola Run is still pretty good, you will like it. Blade: Trinity is completely awful but it has at least one good line ("cock-juggling thundercunt!") which you will admire and use in your everyday life whenever there's an opportunity. Tell No One is almost great, maybe actually great. The Tenacious D movie will bore you, you will only watch it because Amy Adams is supposed to be in it, and she is, for about five seconds. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie is probably more interesting than good and you'll like it but it maybe doesn't hold up for an entire movie. Bigger Stronger Faster* is a pretty entertaining steroid documentary and it will make you think. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People sucks more than you could ever guess. Semi-Pro also sucks. The Spirit sucks so hard it kind of rules, if you play a drinking game and have a shot whenever there's a Frank Miller Cliché onscreen you will end up dead or unconscious. Brian Singer's Valkyrie is pretty decent but definitely not as good as it should be. The second season of Mr. Show almost rules but you liked the first season better. The first season of The Office (US) is interesting to rewatch because a lot has happened since then. Season 2 of Damages is decent but a bit less decent than the first season which was also decent. Red Dwarf: Back to Earth sucks hard and it will make you start to wonder if Red Dwarf always secretly sucked, you just didn't notice. After you have watched all this you will write a blog post about it which you will not check for grammar errors or other mistakes because you suspect there are a lot of them and that would just bring you down.
Oh. Wait. It isn't. Not any more. But I wish it was. I wish it were. I wish every day could be like May Day.
The line quoted above is not said in a whiny voice in the classic British horror film The Wicker Man (1973), but it should have been. Aside from this minor failure, The Wicker Man is the best movie ever made about May Day. It has it all:
Religion.
Violence.
Tits.
