Super Mario Bros

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.

The Room

Apparently, this is the best worst film ever. I love this review:

"I have now seen Mr. Tommy Wiseau's cinematic tour-de-force, 'The Room', three times. With each viewing, 'The Room' becomes more complexly entangled in and inseparable from my own life. I no longer know where The Room ends and I begin.

It is, without question, the worst film ever made."

So deliciously blunt! I have to see this film.

It's like 'The Week', but even lazier. So perfect for me! And the pretty colours provide welcome distraction from the more mundane stories.

You know what I just realised?

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.

2 hammers? Seriously?

No bloody way- drunk inserts two hammers up his own arse. Youch.

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.
