That is a tasty little morsel.

I'm pretty sure this is the first movie I ever saw in a theater. Still one of my favorite movies.

'Bout time the Austrians took a look at it.

Yes, but that pales in comparison to the left's achievement in convincing the world that Nazism was right-wing.

I had always thought that it was convincing the world that the Austrian king saved Europe and Western Civilization by defeating the Islamic armies at the gates of Vienna in 1683.
