Well, I guess we know why this chap had problems buying some cheese. It would seem this bloke got there ahead of him. Is anyone surprised he was French?

What I wanna know is, why do some people insist on calling it a pie? It's a freakin' pizza, m'kay?
If words didn't matter, "pizza" wouldn't exist and we'd all be calling them pies.

|
|
|
|
Some guy with a web site said so.
Well, I guess that settles it.
|

What is a pie? Can you come up with a useful definition of pie that does not exclude anything that you consider a pie, but that does exclude pizza?
...ok, but now can you do it without being cheeky?

Dessert? With whipped cream or ice cream not being totally out of place?

The first was for "escorts" in Mumbai. An easy one.
The second, a skillful (compared to most) advertisement that mimics a lot of the current trend in (commercial) television: a lot of stuff, song and dance, often not even peripherally related to the product: the discovery of it's true nature is near the end. If this had been a video, I'm sure we'd see young people with big smiles and lovely teeth in all sorts of exciting situations.

Probably not a good idea to link to it: while it's in moderation only a few people will see it, and if they can't they do get the synopsis. In this case, the synopsis is non-spammy, but let's not give spammers an easy route to unmoderated spam ...

I stripped the link.
The synopsis wasn't Spamish* as I first read it but it seemed to be going on and on in what seemed to be ever more a selling feel. Finally, near the end, when they've convinced you how important this all is they offer their services.
* The Spamish are an unfortunately well-know tribe of persons dedicated to being harpies.

Molassess - The Devil Lives[^]
Back in 2007 The Devil's Blood was born and became one of my favorite bands at the time (and they were Dutch, but I've never seen them live).
In 2013 the band leader, Selim Lemouchi, and the singer, his sister Farida a.k.a. The Mouth of Satan, got into a fight and they disbanded the band.
Selim continued with a new band, Selim Lemouchi & His Enemies, and his sister was apparently one of his enemies as she did the vocals (like, really? you couldn't just continue TDB!?).
So anyway, Selim killed himself, and TDB members showed up in various bands that all made more or less the same music.
And now, there is Molassess (named after the last song Selim released), the semi-official successor of TDB with Farida on vocals.
Farida has a very distinctive voice, so everything she does sounds like TDB.
Nevertheless, the bands claims they wanted to make something new.
Except this song, apparently, which was written by TDB, but never before released, up til now, on Molassess' recent debut.
Do I mind?
Hell no!
I still love TDB and I'm happy the... errm, "Molassess" released some new material!

Dude, we need to live in the same time zone.
It's midnight here so I only listened to the first minute. I will gotta listened to it tomorrow.
Have been listening to Nightwish all week, you've got me hooked.

According to your profile you've been around longer than me, but judging from your rep and the fact I've only seen you in these past few weeks, I'd say you're fairly new here.
Been doing these SOTW's for years and if you liked this and Nightwish I'm pretty sure you would've liked a lot of other ones as well.
So, stay tuned, I'd say
Always nice to see my SOTW's get some appreciation by the way!
They're not for everyone (and some of them are really uneasy listening I guess) 
Over the years I've posted metal, jazz, pop, folk, dance, classical... So ultimately, I think it has something for everyone

So, when does the Polka music get a mention, eh?

I get a lot out of this site, being a solo programmer at work, this site has been such a time saver (& life saver) but haven't had the time to contribute much over the years.
I've been more active on this site this year because
- working from home saves me 2.5 a day instead of commuting
- the time zone, by the time I read something, others have beaten me to the punch
- I miss the "IT crowd" experience. I work with a good bunch of people, but they're not IT people (except my manager)
I've got a broad taste in music and I could find examples in most genres of something I like. I have my favourites and usually have all their albums, like Butthole Surfers, The Offspring, Modest Mouse, and The Warning. Others bands I'm usually happy with their "Best Of" albums.
I like your SOTW because I'm always looking for something new. And we seem to have overlapping taste in music.

Not sure why these bands feel it necessary to have demonic names, etc. Anyhow, I like the song.
|
|
|
|
|
Because their whole theme is occultism? 
Molassess isn't demonic though, quite sweet in fact, "Molasses or black treacle is a viscous product resulting from refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar."
Unless their alternative double s spelling at the end makes it something else entirely

You've introduced me to some new bands, allow me to return the favour.
The Warning has been a favourite of mine for over 12 months now. I like this video XXI Century Blood[^], they're pretty good. And when you consider that none of them are twenty yet, I think they have a very promising future.

From the next video from 2017: "The Warning are three sisters from Monterrey Mexico, Daniela (16) Paulina (14) and Alejandra (12)." 
Good stuff, especially considering their age.
This is the kind of rock that teenage bands will be covering a couple of years from now (somewhere between The White Stripes and Kings of Leon).
