The flash version! Now at last you can relive those days of the old school. It's not an exact replica by any means, but I maintain that it has the spirit of the original. The only thing I dislike is that it doesn't have the cheat warp zone at the end of level 2, which means you can't skip to the last but one level. As a result, I died at the first Bowser's castle. Oh well. More practice needed, I suppose.
It's like 'The Week', but even lazier. So perfect for me! And the pretty colours provide welcome distraction from the more mundane stories.
An oxymoron is oxymoronic. Ha! An aphorism of fine blend. This is because:
a) Oxymorons are by definition oxymoronic.
B) Here's the clever bit- I found out yesterday that the etymology of the word 'oxymoron' is from the Ancient Greek words 'oxys', meaning sharp, and 'moros' meaning dull or stupid (forgive the transliteration).
So to those thinking my statement was tautology, I clench my buttocks and raise my poncey nose up at you before saying in a whiny voice, "Na-na-nana-na!"
Please just give me time to remove my glasses before you hit me.
Pretty cool. As a med student, I really should know what all those bones in the throat are. Errrrm... thyroid cartilage, cricothyroid cartilage, hyoid bone... no good, all forgotten.
Remember this advert (quite a good one methinks)?
Well, tonight my mother says, "I didn't know that a water chute that big existed." Sigh. It's quite endearing, I suppose.
I totally love this list of fatal accidents that weren't fatal. I think my favourite is the massive black guy who got shot, like, a million times by police whilst out on a stag do. Granted, it is amazing that he survived, but what I'm wondering more about is what the hell he and his buddies were up to. I'm aware that typically stag dos involve lots of cheap alcopops/beer, an obligatory striptease followed by a debauched hedonistic drunken blow out (maybe in some Eastern bloc country. Like Czechoslovakia). The last stag do I went on was much more genteel- we went fishing. Yes, there was a lot of beer drunk, but mostly we were fly fishing. This begs the question: WTF was Joseph Guzman doing that the police had to shoot him? I mean, for God's sake, life isn't actually like Grand Theft Auto. Or maybe it is. After all, he did survive 19 slugs.
As usual, I missed it. But it seems so typical of Bill Murray to do something like this- it almost seems fated. He's such a perfect old man! (Not in a weird way- he just fits that stereotype exactly, or seems to. It would almost be comical if it wan't a little bit saddening. Melancholy, that's it- think Eeyore.)
Do you dare enter? I particularly like this page with the crazy blood vortex effect.
Spotted on the BBC News website. I think it's fixed now, but it did make me giggle. NB- for some reason the upload system makes it crappy quality, but it says "Teenage boy sucked." The full story is "Teenage boy sucked into pool pump." Youch.
Where has this been all my life? Now all I need to do is come up with a rap about a McGangbang and a McWhitey to be king of internet memes. How about:
I need a double cheeseburger and open the bun
Get a McChicken and don't be frontin' son
Jam it in between the patties
McGangBang baby, just for fatties.
Ok, I'll stick to the medicine.
These are so much better than my stig cake (below). My favourite has to be the teenage mutant ninja turtle cake (I think it's Rafael), although I also really like the rubik's cube cake (which got an honourable mention). I lu-rve the cake!
Possibly the most addictive game in the world ever. Don't start it until you have at least an hour free, and especially don't start it if you have work to do. My best effort is I made it to the island past the second fight, but then fate blocked my path with a series of frustratingly small chains. Bah!
This is freaking awesome- rather scary though! It looks like a giant tiny bacillus. I would very much like to have a go with one of these.
I'm blowing my own trumpet here. Seeing as no-one I know actually reads my ramblings, I don't really care! (At least I think nobody does. If you are one of they, stop reading here!) Woop! That's local celebrity stuff. You can read the full essay here. It's nice to know that some of the stuff I write is at least reasonably good.
A sad state of affairs. It's always such a shame when a promising career has to end like this. Via.
Ha! I love The Onion. This kind of reminds me of this clip from family guy:
I particularly like this play him off, keyboard cat video.
Newscaster 1: "Gonna pass out."
Newscaster 2: "You alright?"
Newscaster 1: "I'm passing out."
Newscaster 2: "You want to hang on?"
Newscaster 1: "Passing out."
Newscaster 2: "You want to sit down?"
Newscaster 1: "Gone."
You would have thought that newscaster 2 would have got the point before newscaster 1 passes out and falls to the floor. Play him off cat just adds that special edge!
