ZAZZ!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=921624566

I am speechless! Someone needs to buy this thing. Not me, but SOMEONE...

I am the high bidder at $1.00 right now, thank you!

:tiki:

Seeing such beautiful artwork brings a tear to my eye...its such a sin that they won't ship to Canada. I will never be able to see a sardine can again without being reminded of what it could have been....good luck all you Americans!!

I'm soooo happy ZAZZZ is catching on! I think that is so Zazz!

Those are zazz too! I think the more you get the better they would look. I can picture a collection of 8 or ten in a row looking very schwank in someone's pad...

A sardine can altar?
YES!
Now THAT is low brow kitsch at its' finest!

The sardine can DEFINATELY set the mood for that fine item. I made one that fills a wooden champagne box. I really like these little micro collections. They are perfect for adding a little hukilau to a small bleak area. I have been wanting to play around with some lights, but cords are lame and batteries have to many drawbacks.Here is a look for anyone interested:

Very nize! I ALWAYS loved shadow box/3D display art. Bosko used to do great ones.

I have to go now and open me a can of smoked oysters for lunch! (being from a port town, I die for smoked fish, to paraphrase a fishermen's saying from the Canary Islands "If my grandmother came from the sea, I would eat her": If my .... AND was smoked....!)

But, aah, I digress...let's see...Sardine can TRAVEL Tiki altars for the suave Tiki Centralite would be the next step: At any boring restaurant, pull out your Travel Tiki altar, and be at peace (should play a Martin Denny jingle when opening the lid).

The word ZAZZ must be more powerful thajn we know - check out how many views this thread has!

what the hell does zazz mean?

Zazz is the name of a soda that Shasta sells, along with Tiki Punch (remember that thread?). Laney and I thought the name Zazz was sooooooo cool, that I decided I was going to use the word "Zazz" in place of "cool"!

I mean, who wouldn't want to drink something named "Zazz"?? And Zazz speaks volumes more about something's coolness than the word "cool" Does! Besides, I just think its Zazz.

hoookay, sounds zazz to me.

Try Zazz in the description box on your next ebay listing and watch the bids come rolling in. It even sounds good backwards: ZZAZ

"With the allure of a Cezanne and the intrigue of a Picasso, Zazz captivates the senses. Its fluid curves and soothing design practice the unique skill of attracting attention - unobtrusively. But the beauty of Zazz goes deep beneath the canvas. Designed for general office use, Zazz is compelling comfort. "

Now there you go, how about that for some good ad copy!
This cries out for being translated into Japanese Engrish!

Wait, I think I just peed my pants from laughter. I'll need to get a new chair-Zazz!

A good way to approximate Engrish is to enter something into Altavist's Babelfish, translate from English to German (or Spanish or French) then back again. This used to work great but I think they've improved their translation, so this one I went from English to Spanish to German and back to English again. Voila.

(file it under: things nerdy writers know)

"with the airs of a Cezanne and of plots a Picasso, Zazz captivates felt. Its curves of the liquid and the project, which are reassuring, practice the original ability to excite the attention - unobtrusively. But the beauty of Zazz goes deeply down from the canvas. Projected for the general use of the office, Zazz is the compelling comfort "

So, simply put...

"Zazz captivates felt."

Nice.

Jon Stewart using ZAZZ?!?!?

"The Daily Show: September 26, 2005
Posted Sep 27, 2005, 7:51 AM ET by Annie Wu
Filed under: Comedy, OpEd, Late Night, Cable, The Daily Show

Welcome to another week of The Daily Show. Tonight's episode is all hurricane -- except for the commericals. Those can be regarded as the eye of the hurricane show. Alright, Katrina was absolutely crazy with devastation, whereas Rita was just like all other sequels: crappy. "There was damage... but where was the zazz?" Jon Stewart asks. It was only a pussy-ish Category 3. C'mon, God. You've got to step it up a little -- Don't hurt me."
In this context it seems more like he is using it more as a shortened "pizazz" than the zazz as we know it.

Yes! Hanford & I busted up when we heard that.

Jon Stewart used it again a few more times the other day ... it's starting to slip into his normal vocabulary. He's been infected.

Personally, every time I hear or see the word ZAZZ (oh man, there it is again) I get nauseous... am I the only one out there?

Nauseous? Like it makes you turn green?
:wink:

Personally I turn ZAZZ.... :) :)

Okay hold on to your Salad Dressing - I have recently seen two different Hidden Valley Ranch commercials and they both had actresses using Zazz to describe the dressing! I thought I had heard it wrong and it Rewound the clip (I have the digital recorder feature on my cable) and sure enough - Zazz!

I think Mr. Smiley needs to sue for intellectual property infringement.

oh my gosh!
George Will just added to his "Signs of the Coming Apocolypse":"the use of Zazz."

What a zazz!

I knew it!

Maybe he thinks people are snorting it?

I'm sure I was at Target when I heard a cashier say "Those boxers have Zazz!" Maybe it's time to move to another expression, otherwise, the lumber guys at Menards will be saying "These Anderson windows will add Zazz! to your kitchen."

I ran a Google image search on zazz and found this graph:

http://www.socalsupras.com/dyno/Zazz.jpg

I'm fairly certain that it shows a rise in the use of the term zazz in relation to torque. Or maybe it's in relation to horsepower.. I dunno.

But.. I did find another soda company stealing zazz for their campaign:

http://www.rareads.com/scans/16366.jpg

Apparently "Bubble Up" has so much zazz that you can even FEEL it! Man, that's a lot of zazz if you ask me.

..and in the final graph you can clearly see that before, zazz was proportionatly more "pure" and less "complicated". Whereas today, zazz has become increasingly "complicated" and less "pure":

This spells trouble for zazz in general I should think.

It's a dark day for zazz.

Here's Zazz's place in litirature:

http://print.google.com/print?q=zazz&hl=en

According to Cassell's Dictionary of Slang, Zazz is:

zazz adj 1940s+ relating to the glamorous, fashionable world (cf ZAZZ v). [? abbr. Pizzaz]

live by the zazz, die by the zazz

zazz not, lest ye be zazzed

We were somewhere in Barstow, near the edge of the desert, when the Zazz began to kick in...

This word is definately part of Mr. Stewarts vocab...I also spotted it in his book "America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction"
http://books.google.ca/books?q=zazz&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wp

It's not just Stewart - Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report used it the other night also!

I'm pretty sure it's actually Pizzazz. Made all the worse by the woman with the giant mole on her face saying. "It's Jazzy, Pizzazzy!

she's actually saying "piss-assy"

well, not really.

the Chimp Channel!?!?

No, they don't. And the way they prononunce it, they need a hyphen to attach the Pie to the Zazz, as in "Pie-Zazz". Well, actually they just pronounced it "Pizza Pizazz". And they seemed bewildered that someone would actually be interested in a t-shirt with their logo on it. Not very Zazzy at all, in my opinion. :(

Mig came across ZAZZ in the Bay area somewhere....
