Skag is an American drama series that aired on NBC and starred Karl Malden. Skag originated as a three-hour television movie that aired on January 6, 1980 (as an installment of The Big Event). Over a week later, it then premiered as a weekly series, Thursdays at 10/9c, which ran from January 17, 1980, until its cancellation on February 21, 1980.
Skag focused on the life of a foreman at a Pittsburgh steel mill. Malden described his character, Pete Skagska, as a simple man trying to keep his family together. The series was created by Abby Mann, and executive produced by Mann and Lee Rich.
The opening three-hour movie pilot introduces viewers to 56-year-old Pete "Skag" Skagska (Malden), a hard-working steel mill foreman of Serbian-Orthodox ancestry, who dealt with a lot of fire in both his professional and personal lives. The dark lairs of welding, colossal machinery, and working-class ideals from the people he supervised was the only life Skag knew, until a series of events turned his world upside down. On the homefront, his devoted second wife Jo (Piper Laurie), 12 years his junior and the only Jewish member of the Skagska family, was at times growing distant from Pete; his two eldest sons, David (Craig Wasson) and John (Peter Gallagher) were also growing apart from him, but were feuding with him over their radically different ideals and their respective decisions in life; and most profoundly, his elderly father, Petar Sr. (George Voskovec), who also lived in the household, was suffering from the aftermath of a debilitating stroke. Skag's concern and mental anguish over these issues was about to reach its boiling point just as Skag suddenly suffered a stroke, as well, finding himself incapacitated, emotionally scarred, and unemployed for an untold period of time.

The BFG is a fictional weapon found in many video game titles, mostly in first-person shooters such as the Doom and Quake video game series.
The abbreviation BFG stands for "Big Fucking Gun" as described in Tom Hall's original Doom design document and in the user manual of Doom II: Hell on Earth. The Quake II manual says it stands for "Big, Uh, Freakin' Gun". Another expurgated version of the name used in the Doom motion picture is "Bio Force Gun". The versions found in the Doom games are called "BFG 9000" and those in Quake "BFG 10K". In mods, various other versions made by fans can be found.
The first appearance of the weapon is the press beta release of Doom. In that version, the BFG 9000 released a cloud of 80 little plasma balls (randomly green or red) per shot.
In the first commercial Doom game, the BFG 9000 is a large energy weapon that fires giant balls of green plasma. The most powerful weapon in the game, it causes major damage to opponents and can clear an entire room of foes in one use. A direct hit from it is often an instant kill. The player is unaffected by the splash damage, which makes it possible to use the BFG 9000 safely in close quarters, unlike some of the other powerful weapons. In the first Doom the weapon can only be picked up in the third and fourth episodes. The BFG 9000 also appears virtually unchanged in Doom II: Hell on Earth, Final Doom, Doom 64, and Doom RPG.
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, nou en dan, dan komp 't weer
Dan denk ik opiens an joe en ik kan der schienbar niks an doen
Want ik kan joe dan zowat heuren praoten en a'k goed kiek kan ik joe zien
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, absoluut, misschien
't Is lange nie hoe ik ben, mar ik kun der nie umhen
't Is aordig lang duuster west, ok al deu ik wel mien best
Um de wolken weg te denken um de zunne weer 's te zien
't Giet misschien wel beter zo, absoluut, misschien
Absoluut 't giet wel over, misschien duurt 't langer dan'k had dacht
En dat ha'k niet dacht
't Is lange zo slim nie meer, daor komp 't wel op neer
T'weud ok wel neudig tied, 't Is mar goed da'k beter weer
Want achter 'n schip met zoete appels ku'j 't lucht zowat nie meer zien
Mar zolfs de zwartste wolken weijen weg, absoluut, misschien
Mar zolfs de zwartste wolken weijen weg, absoluut, misschien
