Amusing IT Stories - 9th - Xmas rated edition
I was going to try and give it a Christmas theme but I have been busy busy, so you will get what you are given. Here have a look at Santa, he seems to have one too many sherrys. The picture was found here
I like to kick off the gig with one a crowd pleasing clip and this week we continue the Microsoft Balmer time, this is my favourite, I love the enthusiasm he has and I wish my company meetings were just like this
Check out my funny podcast for similar stuff but instead of being written the comedy goodness is spoken, this is especially good for people who can't be bothered to read.

I love this video, whenever I see it I just wish that any meetings/presentations I go to have someone doing something similar. I was trying to find the video but didn’t know what to type so Mr C said, just type in Monkey balmer and hey presto it worked
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3446931931514285011&q=monkey+balmerThis section is a list of phrases typed into a search engine and they then ended up on this blog, this week there are some crackers. I particularly like "where can I find a quiz that tells me if im a raciest". Well if you are typing that in you probably are. Other beautys include "directions on giving a wedgie" and I do like "minge stories" but is it a story told by a minge or about one. I like the one that is split up "stories, dogging, carpark" You can tell who ever typed that in is a man who knows what he wants and it's mainly about stories of dogging.

This section talks about proper games where the graphics were rubbish and gameplay was king. In my day games used to be so hard you would have to play for a week just to get onto the third screen and no one completed games.
This was a spectrum classic handed in by the Biscuit this week. Armed with only a knife he runs along and stabs hundreds of people and I like the way they turn instantly into skeletons
Green Beret (also in Europe known as Rush N Attack)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmJEpaGYDIw
here is a review of the game

and don't you forget you play for hours and hours just so you can see this screen

This is ridicoluos which is why we love it, sent in by the king of sprouts Mr C, who has this comment on the video

Here are the lyrics
And they're coming round the track to haunt me.
When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
Up from suede shoes to my baby blues
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy.
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
- New broom, this room, sweep it clean
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
All the pretty birds have flown now I'm dancing on my own
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
- Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;

This was sent in and sent out to someone whilst drunk by the Birmingham Bishop. Who when he found out he sent it said this
I’ve just found out that when I got home last night I sent an email
What the hell was I thinking?
It read even odder the first time when I thought it said casualty, anyway here is the email, get ready to bend your mind in on itself.Causality Sucks
I've just spent my lat 3 hours, pissed, trying to rearrange my mind.
We make the assumption that time is liner , and we make assumptions
based on that.
Fine, I understand that; it means that every action has a
pre-determined outcome.
Stay with me here... What if our brains work on a quantum level?
How many times have you had a bad feeling, or strange dream, that
never quite fit in to the box?
Our brains are complex organisms, as far as I know science cannot
measure the synaptic data that is processed.
We are inventing computer chips that are almost processing at a quantum level.
Here is the leap of faith...
Assume that our brains work on a quantum level. This would mean that
we could perceive changes outside of our normal time and space. This
could mean we could actually predict the future of our current
time/space!
For a bonus point, try to explain this to a sexually frustrated girl friend. :-)

I read this article in the newspaper and the views of this weasel are staggering piece of journalism, which has to be read to be believed. what I found more scary was all the comments of people agreeing with him. even the title is work of art
Littlejohn: Spare us the 'People's Prostitute' routine...
I think it's the style of the article that really adds to the piece, bits like this
"And I know this might sound frightfully callous in the current hysterical, emotional climate, but we're not all guilty"
We do not share in the responsibility for either their grubby little existences or their murders. Society isn't to blame.
It might not be fashionable, or even acceptable in some quarters, to say so, but in their chosen field of "work'=", death by strangulation is an occupational hazard.
That doesn't make it justifiable homicide, but in the scheme of things the deaths of these five women is no great loss.
They weren't going to discover a cure for cancer or embark on missionary work in Darfur. The only kind of missionary position they undertook was in the back seat of a car.
Of course their friends and families are grieving. That's what friends and families do. But they should also be asking themselves if there was anything they could have done to prevent what happened.
If you discovered your daughter had gone on the game to feed her heroin habit, wouldn't you move heaven and earth to get her off it?
Frankly, I'm tired of the lame excuses about how they all fell victim to ruthless pimps who plied them with drugs. These women were on the streets because they wanted to be.
At Ipswich Town's home game on Saturday, there was a minute's silence. We were supposed to believe that this was a true reflection of the community's sympathy.
I don't buy it. Most people went along with it in the spirit of emotional correctness and through fear of getting their heads kicked in if they didn't.
There was only one thing missing, but don't bet against it.

CHILD OBESITY lINKED TO LARGER MOUTHS
scientists have discovered that childhood obesity could be linked to the growth in size of children's mouths. Professor Adrian Chinmonger said "children today have mouths twice as big as children in the 1940's". The news will bring some Xmas cheer junk food retailers, A McDonalds checkout worker said "this is very good news"
Mouth education
As well as having mouth increases of 100 percent in size todays children are much better educated in how to use them. Children when born instantly try to put food into their mouths often apeing their obese parents
hands like shovels
The real culprit of childhood obesity is evolution. Scientists have discovered childrens hands are becoming more shovel like with the fingers being placed a lot closer together. When a child of today is equipped with such a quick way to transport food into their mouth, there is really only one outcome, obesity.
High trousered TV overlord Sir Simon Cowell is to make a series searching for the new Simon Cowell. A show which follows the success of BBC Two's "How do you solve a problem like Ronnie Corbett" which saw Trevor Richards starring in a summer comedy show as Ronnie Corbetts stunt double and then as Ronnie Corbett 2 in a number of sketches which saw him sit in large armchair and recall 'funny' stories.
Beat Cowell
Cowell beat the BBC to the rights to the show Search for Cowell which will scupper the plans of the BBC who have desperately been trying to find a Simon Cowell of their own. Cowell said about the role of Simon Cowell "in my opinion it will be the most sort after role in the galaxy".
finding the new Robson and Jerome
contestants will be asked to wear trouser to a very high altitude and have square haircuts. One of the rounds is believed to involve trying to fing the new "Robson and Jerome" and another round is believed to involve throwing water at cardboard cut-outs of Louis Walsh. The grand final will include a knockout style show where the first Simon Cowell to make a contestant on the X Factor cry is declared the winner.

This weeks episode guide is from AIRWOLF – doo doo doo dodododododdo do
The episode is called -the first one
Short summary
Airwolf's Creator, the insane Dr. Charles Henry Moffet, has left a timed 'logic bomb' in the Lady's computers, a deadly program which will turn Airwolf into an out-of-control killing machine. Hawke and Dominic enlist the aid of a former F.I.R.M. computer genius, Dr. Karen Hanson, to help them reprogram Airwolf in time to go into Soviet territory to retrieve an American scientist on a peace mission.
Detailed summary
In the midst of it's key part in delivering and collecting a leading American scientist to top secret sanctions aimed at cooling international tensions with Russians, Airwolf develops a seeming computer virus in it's systems, which periodically takes pilot control and makes it a potential killing machine in the air. The systems have been taken over buy a "time-bomb" left by the chopper's evil creator, Dr. Moffett, who has programmed it to begin the deadly behaviour if not given it a recognition code by him at that time. Hawke and Dominic must decide whether to let the Firm scientists try and work on the machine - risking having them snatching it back away from them - or to find another way to try and cure The Lady before completing their part in the sanctions, knowing that if they fail to completely cure it, they jeopardise not only international relations, but potentially hundreds of lives...
I had an appointment with my counselor at 5, but when I got there I was told that he left at 4! I was definitely not wrong with the time because 5 is a good time for me as I finish work at 4.30
When I got home and called my mum to arrange her 60th Birthday meal she told me that my sister-in-law's dad had died suddenly from an aneurysm. I can't believe that this time two years ago she had two parents and now they are both gone
I have a job interview tomorrow!
Every time we say goodbye
Went to London from work to meet 'the boy'. He wants me to move in. I probably will!This makes me sound like a bad person - seeing someone behind my boyfriend's back, but isn't he the selfish one? If he really loved me he'd let me go.
On the way home on the train a beggar got on. It made me so sad. He had a skinny dog that must've been so cold. I gave him £5. He smelt really bad and when he got off left a really bad smell so the people getting on at the next stop thought it was me. I had six seats all to myself!
now that the onion isn't as funny as it used to be, why not try a some newsbiscuits to chew on

Painfully shy Tim Meeks starts at a new boarding school Saint Bernard's where his brother is the most popular boy in the school and captain of the soccer team. Meeks gets teased in the playground and is called mongaloid meeks. His room mate James Faraday who is also a genius but is bullied by his overbearing father was teased in the playground where he was called spaz boy and mongoloid meeks until one day someone gives him a soduko and then suddenly everyone realises he is infact a genius. He is entered into the School Sudoku championship and is struggling until his inspirational teacher tells him he gave him a special drink which means he can't lose. Inspired by the fact he can't lose he thrashes everyone in the tournament only to find the teacher didn't really give him a magic potion and all he had to do was to believe in himself. At the end the girl who wouldn't speak to him earlier suddenly wants to hang out with the sudoku champ and the pupil gives the teacher the thumbs ups.
right for those of you who didn't guess the power of paint was Leona from X Factor, go back and check it, it's a good likeness.

Amusing It Stories - 8th Edition - if you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit
I'm not sure where he stole it from but this was lovely picture was sent in by the man with the golden compass. Good work lad. Todays episode is a good one, I have some brilliant clips starting with the one below, go and eat it up you wriggler.I had a choose today, do this blog or go out boozing so go out boozing I did, hence the lack of cartoons, oh well.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE SOUND OF AN OLD MAN LAUGHING SECTION
I'm starting with this because it is brilliant, if you are having a bad day this will cheer you up I heard this clip on the radio today and was laughing my head off, if you wondered if Ricky Gervais was the first to do the laughing on radio gig then you are very wrong. I challange anyone to listen to this and not laugh. This gaffe is from Brian Johnston and is the infamous 'leg over' discussion, which just ends in laughing with Aggers.
http://www.radioacademy.org/halloffame/johnston_b/sounds/johnston.mp3
that's so funny you should go and listen to it again, go on god damn you. I love the sound
HAAAAEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY
oh my god I'm crying, I have got to stop listening 4 times today and that's my lot. Aggers for goodnees sake do stop it.
PUSHING THE ELEPHANT
I have a couple this week
Scooby Snacks (office)[n.]Token compensation. "The gift certificates they gave us instead of a Christmas bonus were scooby snacks."
Scooby Snacks (pub)- The bribe offered to a friend to get him to come out drinking with you where he of course will spend loads more money and feel rubbish the next day all for the sake of one pint (Scooby Snack), especially bad if the person is playing wingman and the crafty devil has a date lined up.
Extraview (office) [n.]An second interview you feel obliged to hold even though the position has already been filled. Can also happen when the candidate is just so damn hot.
Extraview (pub) Going on another date with a girl who you know you aren't going to see more than a few times just in case you case you can get a bit of action
The ever interesting section keeps up the good work, someone actually typed in Atomic Walrus (what would you expect that search to return?). I like the thought of people looking for a meaning in the word awooga, it's like trying to find the sound of ice cream.

Christmas Cards, what is the point of them, people buy a packet of 100 and then put your name on the top and might as well stamp theirs on the bottom and then send it to you, no thought, no meaningful message and the only thing that happens is that you feel guilty enough to buy them one back, why??!?!? Just all stop and only send them to people you don't see other wise just say happy fucking xmas to the other miserable sods in your office, OKAY. I won't even go into the fact the Christmas card themselves are digusting little creatures churned out by some idealess cretin who really should just end his misery and ours by quiting and take up a career as Mr Brittas impersonator.
Unless it's like this card (above and left) here which seems like a thinly veiled attack on the person. This card is saying you only have sex with your bird once a year, MWAHAHAHAHAHAA.

FAT DOCUMENTARY OF A MAN OBESE
I've have been dieting for 5 years now and I despite the doctor saying I need to act urgently or I will get diabetites, I think it has gone okay, in that time I have only put on 4 stone. When I got to my monthly doctors appointment I was out of breath because the the doctors is 500 metres from the bus stop, it's too far to make in one journey and I had to stop because my legs had swelled up and my ankle hurt. Luckily I had an emergency mars bar and ate it in two bites. I didn't really understand what's so bad about diabetes until the doctor said it would mean I couldn't mars bars or any sugary snacks, I don't eat that many, only 5 a day but I would miss them and I don't like any vegtables or fruit, except baked beans.
HOW FILMS WOULD HAVE FINISHED IN THE REAL WORLD
Karate Kid
When Johnny Lawrence (Cobra Kai's prize fighter) with the weight and experience advantage locks horns with Daniel LaRusso in the Karate Championshp final (which you have to be a black belt to enter). I herby put to you fair people of the jury that when weedy LaRusso hops around the ring into the "crane" position that in real life it would turn out differently. In real life Johnny would easily block the pathetic kick and then give LaRusso a "right good pummeling" with something like a jumping reverse kick which although Miyagi's washing cars, painting fences, trimming bonsai tree and no sparring what so ever training has no answer. LaRussu loses his chick, throws his bike in the bin again and goes on to become a bum on the streets shouting at anyone who will listen to "never trust a chinese man with your dreams"
Below is one of the worst decorations I have seen, so of course I had to purchase it. It cost me one whole pound but it's worth it for all the festive joy it brings to everyone who comes into contact with it, I mean him
HOSKING SALUTES
This are all back dated salutes because I am still letting you people get your tiny brain puddles around the idea because you are all probably too busy watching the X Factor final (a real competition where the only winner is high trousered kirkanoid Simon Cowell). So if you lot can tear yourself away and set yourselves off down town and drink a load of booze and then do something silly, you too can earn yourself a Hosking Salute, send them into amusingitstories@gmail.com
Rick – for stealing the towel for wiping your hands in a curry house and thinking it was the shroud of turin until the next day and then realising all he had was a piss soaked towel
Chopper - for when being drunk leaps over the fence to retrieve a football. Successfully achieving his mission the soldier makes his way back completely unseen by enemy snipers. He adds a flourish to the mission by doing a roly poly on a small childs slide and completely and utterly flatterns the slide, much to the horror the of the owners who had somehow got in the "blind spot" of our brave soldier. Yes they were there watching from just inside their house as a drunken fool leaps over kicks a ball back and then squashes their little ray of lights slide and then jumps back over their neighbours fence to join the party. Good work lad.
Come in Early
Everyone knows people who come in early must be doing loads of important work that needed them to leave their beds early because it just couldn't wait one half an hour longer. Managers believe that they are working at least 1000 percent more than their slothful fellow workers who arrive on time or later.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT TRUE
Mr Miyagi, Daniel LaRusso (okay I can believe that one) or anyone else in the cast of Karate Kid didn't know Karate, can you believe it. Mr Miyagi (real name Pat Morita) was in fact a comedian.
Here are some facts from IMDB on Karate Kid from here
Pat Morita was initially turned-down for the role of Mr. Miyagi because there was a "no comedian" policy when looking for an actor. He was later given the role because he was best for it after reading.
The last spin kick that Daniel is hit with before he is saved by Mr. Miyagi actually hit Ralph Macchio and hurt him.
William Zabka (Johnny) had no martial arts experience prior to being cast in the film. However, he was an accomplished wrestler.
The scenes in this film where Mr. Miyagi is using chopsticks to catch flies in midair is an obscure reference to the film Miyamoto Musashi kanketsuhen: kettô Ganryûjima (1956) where a very similar scene is used.
The yellow classic that Daniel works on in the "wax-on/wax-off" training scene was given to Ralph Macchio by the producer and he still owns it.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG (AND COMPUTERS WERE AS BIG HOUSES)
I was wondering what to do with this section (put it in the big I hear you shout) but I have changed it to be just about games I played when I were a lad. When I was young playing games were simple, you only had punch, kick, knee and jumping kick, none of this combo nonsense.
We start with a classic TARGET RENEGADE and all I have time to say is Watch out for Big Bertha

Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me
I reached inside myself and found
Nothing there to ease the
Pressure of my ever worrying mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely
Looks the mirror's sending me these days
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart.
Touch me
And give all your love to me.
Please don't ask me to defend
The shameful lowlands of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
I reached inside myself today
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant.
Touch me
How can it be
Believe me
The sun always shines on t.v.
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me.
To me.

I realized just how useful google truly can be. For example, this morning I was eating a "cocktail bun" which I have never tried before. I was chowing it down when I noticed this sweet mixture stuffed inside the bun. Without hesitation, I looked up "cocktail bun" and discovered this... "they're filled with an addictive coconut mixture, the ingredients of which I've never quite been able to ascertain. But think butter, sugar, egg and lots of dessicated coconut and you get the picture." Wow, thank you google.com!

Birds smarter than they seem
Posted: November 7, 2006
Classification: uncategorized
A break from voting for once, and time for bird season. According to the Daily Mail, pigeons have quite a memory.. The smartest birds are of course the crow, raven ad the jay. The dumbest? Unfortunately, scientists have chosen the New World Quail. I've seen quail in northern California and they never get off the road but simultaneously, I have never seen a dead quail.
Crows, I believe, are the most interesting bird. They have all sorts of bird calls. For example, I woke up one morning and thought my roommate was laughing hysterically. But she was sound asleep. Instead, there was a gigantic crow right outside our window making very high pitched calls. You see, they dont' just go, "caww, caww."
Another time, I thought I heard a woodpecker. I looked up the tree and saw a crow making a weird vibrating sound that sounded like a woodpecker. Maybe they're like mocking birds in that they like to mimic other birds.

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMASS INDEED
This week I am going to put in the description of a baywatch episode I actually had the pleasure to watch over the weekend and it was the funniest thing I have seen for a long time. For some reason the baywatch crew were in Alaska on a cruise and a blonde bird and Hasslehoff and another dude were walking out in the woods and then the blonde gets chased by a grizzly bear. This chasing scene involves running very slowly for some reason. If you put yourself in the shoes of the blonde what would you do, yes you would try to run near hasslehoff to save you, so she runs off shouting Mitch Mitch who stop their fishing to help rescue her. She then runs onto a log which goes a bit into the river, for some reason the log has barbed wire wrapped around it (why she didn’t just jump in the water is beyond me). So she edges out on the log the bear cleverly twists the log and gets her foot trapped and her half underwater splashing about (go bear). Then Hasslehoff and other bloke get there. I know what you are thinking how does hasslehoff scare away a big 8 foot bear, by waving a stick at it of course. After Hasslehoff shakes the stick at the bear a few times whilst shouting “yaaa yaaaa” the bear decides this is way to annoying and fecks off. The two chaps then use the stick to lever the log up and rescue the stupid woman.
"White Thunder at Glacier Bay: Part I"
After boarding without Neely, Lani, or Donna seeing them, Mitch and Cody surprise their colleagues by appearing at dinner. Hobie and Leslie make it obvious that they know when they're not wanted. Hobie also knows that his father still disapproves of his impulse to invite a total stranger with them on the cruise. When the ship docks in Ketchikan, Mitch and Cody prepare for a day of salmon fishing while Hobie and Leslie plan an outing in town. As Hobie and Leslie are departing the ship, Leslie sees Gavin at the gangplank anxiously scanning the crowd as they leave the ship. She quickly offers to baby-sit Neely's infant, finding a convenient way to stay onboard while Gavin searches for her off the ship.
Fortunately for Leslie, Gavin has met Donna, who he mistakes for Leslie because of her long blond hair. Donna, on the other hand, mistakenly believes she has found her millionaire dream man. Mitch and Cody are enjoying their day of salmon fishing, when a ferocious grizzly bear attacks Neely and forces them to make a daring rescue in the ice cold lake. Back on the ship, Neely recovers from her brush with death and thanks Mitch for saving her life. The moment grows in intensity and Mitch and Neely find themselves locked in a kiss. Confused by what just happened, Mitch excuses himself and Neely is left to ponder her actions and her planned reunion with her ex-husband the next day.
With few options aboard the ship, Leslie plots to escape from Gavin by renting a paraglider at the next port and gliding over the mountaintops to safety. Hobie joins Leslie on the paragliding excursion, unaware that she is not planning to return to the ship. Gavin manages to follow them to the take-off point.

What do you do if your teacher wife cheats on you with a pupil and gets pregnant by him, then kicks you out and moves him into your flat? The pupil is then dumped and takes your teacher wife to court for forcing him into a Sexual Relationship. Do you:
- stay well out of it, the Bitch completely ruined your life and you hope she gets what's coming to her.
- Offer advice and a shoulder to cry on, at least you might get a shag out of it.
- Kidnap the pupil, tie him to a chair underground and beat him up, I mean that will make him drop the charges and he won't ever tell anyone when you finally let him go, yeh right! Oh by the way you forgot to check his pockets, that lighter in his pocket came in very handy to burn away the ropes and bash you over the head you loser...

This blog is called Gamer Dayz and this blog entry makes me laugh, firstly because it is dramatically titled Experiences and secondly for the dramatic Hollyoaks style teen acting/writing.
Experiences
Lately I have found myself wondering why I think and see things the way i do. Why I always find myself looking for a different truth then the one that has been said or shown to me. And everytime I go through these thought processes I come to the same conclusion: Experience. In my experiences people always seem to have an ulterior motive, or some thing that they don’t want to say (to me specifically, or anyone). And at the time I thought little of this lack of information until the “truth” comes out in some other conversation at a future time and I look back and I’m confused or annoyed or disappointed.
Because of these experiences I am left with a constant drive to look for the secret that someone doesn’t want to tell me. Im always expecting a lie to be told and Im rarely ever surprised when the “truth” finally does comeout. I understand that humans will often tell “little white lies” to make themselves feel better or get a point across or whatever, and those LWL mean little to me. But for some reason because of my experiences I have honed, perfected, gained (whatever) the ability to pick a true lie when I hear it. I can’t say that some person is going to walk up to me tell me there name is Bob and KNOW that they are lying. But with the people I have gotten close too, or hang out with a lot, I can generally figure out that something is amiss.
Recently I have been experienceing Deja Vu. Previous experiences are repeating themselves, for the most part anyway. The people and places are different, but the deeds and situations are all too familiar. Friends have lied to my face and didn’t even apologize when truth came out. But, those lies aren’t the reasons Im posting, I “knew” about those lies before they ever became truths.
Like I said I have become pretty good at “sensing a disturbance” among my friends. But I found a truth within the past couple of days that took me completely by surprise. The lie is 3 years old or so, but still took me for a loop. And the reason I was so taken aback was that I had asked a VERY precise question and was told a flat out lie. And from someone I thought I could really trust to be straight with me. I guess even I can be surprised sometimes.
Experiences are supposed to, at least in some part, define us. They give us the knowledge on how to deal with similar, or not so similar, situations in the future. But why is it that these experiences make it so hard to trust, laugh, be scared, surprised, happy. I have found someone I KNOW I can trust, but there were times when my experiences told me not to. Most likely they are going to read this post and want to begin an inquiry as to why I feel this way and if they can help me or make me feel better (although now that I have stated that they may be caught in a “Catch 22”). Don’t ask, don’t question, don’t give me that “look” when you read this. We are fine.
I keep to myself for this reason: because my experiences have told me that I will be exploited, disappointed, or abused. Its because of that that I find myself questioning every new person I meet. Wondering if and/or when their “truth” will come out, and whether that “truth” will affect me in some way.
My experiences have left me with pessimism. Plain and simple. Im never surprised, the jokes are expected, and people always have something to hide from me.
Experience sucks.

I remember looking at the Kermit doll and thinking "I wonder if Edloe will put up with an evil Kermit."
I know that this wasn't the first Thanksgiving without Edloe there to mooch bits of turkey and for Piper to snatch them up from the floor just before Edloe got to them.
But I still missed the big furry grumpus. It's been a long time, but I still expect to see my big furry friend there in the morning, shambling up to my feet and sitting on them to keep me from putting on my socks and boots.
She'd take my feet hostage... the ransom was treats.
Be thankful for the time you have with them.

I had a party this week and me and Mrs H, well she isn't really a Mrs H we are partners what ever that means. Mrs H was cooking, I say cooking but really mean ovening the food whilst I sneaked off to play football as Men do I'm afraid and two fingers up to feminists all around the world. I huffed and puffed around a muddy pitch only too end up on the losing side where my team did the decent English thing and lost in extra time. On exiting the field of dreams I went back to my car only to find a funny yellow thing tucked under the windscreen wiper, NOOO surely not, it...it...it can't be, it bloody is. Some evil twisted hitler wannabe has only gone put a ticket on my car. For a tiny split second I thought, it's the bloody ref, I couldn't remember seeing him during half time but then surely refs can't book players cars as well them, Ref's powers didn't transcend beyond the 90 minutes did they. I imagined the ref sneaking off and tip toeing up to the cars and brandishing a yellow ticket, in fact I had always imagined Jeremy Beadle type person from the times I saw Beadle's about when no one saw through Beadle's amazing disguise. The ticket didn't deter me from having a top party and did at least give me some topic of discussion with my other guest - "what is the best way to torture a traffic warden".

I managed to get someone else to do the power of paint this week and it has a sort of question of sport feel to it, in a clever plan to avoid drawing "the difficult face" he has drawn the celebrity from behind. The of course does make it quite a bit harder to guess who it is. What you see to the left is the second attempt after he went back to make the person "more orange" and put a hint in. I will tell you it isn't Wes Brown but I will eat my hat if anyone guesses it.if you think you can do better or worse next week then send me in your power of paint and to clarify the rules, you have to draw it in paint and in five minutes, send you power of paint entries to amusingitstories@gmail.com

Similar to have a desk littered with big fat technical books, a screen full of bright graphs is an eye grabbing interactive way to make it look as if you are doing very complex work, probably using quantam physics. Bosses and people walking by will be amazed and baffled at the work you must be doing.

At work a toilet is somewhere you get paid to wee and poo, this thought tickles office workers so much that someone has made some software so you can calculate how much money your employer just paid you to use the toilet.
Even women are brave enough to go to work toilets with out a buddy.
They also double up as changing rooms if you are going straight out from work.

This week I thought I would go for a bit of Boon. Good old Boon, it was a golden period when people on the street didn't hate Neil Morrisey, yes I know it's hard to believe that now but it was true, he was a cheeky monkey boy with silly hair rather than the annoy obnoxious twat with silly hair when he was in Men Behaving Badly. Anyway I digress, back to Boon, I remember the title of this episode because it was in a pub quiz and it has always made me laugh, it's a long guide but worth it
Never Say Trevor Again
Ken is trying to serve a writ on a wily rogue, Charles Henry Marquis, who runs a window-dressing business. Marquis keeps giving Ken the slip. Ken fails to catch him at a wedding-dress shop and when he is on his way to a fancy-dress party – dressed as a bear. Eventually, with a bit of subterfuge, Ken delivers the writ. In doing so, we learn Ken’s middle name: Winstanley!
Margaret is installing a security system at a large house owned by Don Pettifer, a crook that she has had many dealings with during her time in the police. When she sees several other villains arriving at the house, she is sure that they are planning something. Two gardeners, Trevor and Ray, are working in the grounds. Ray goes to hand in his notice because he is fed up of being thumped by Pettifer’s minder, Julian. He sees Pettifer handing round large amounts of cash. When he tells Margaret this, she becomes even more suspicious. Ray drives off – and is not seen again. Trevor becomes worried.
The police have been watching Pettifer’s house for months. DC Pelham and DS Merrison ask Ken and Margaret for help: they want Margaret to plant a bug in the house. Margaret does this, but Pettifer sees her doing it, by watching one of the CCTV monitors that she has installed. Forewarned, Pettifer and his wife prattle on about innocuous subjects such as the local charity fete, with the police listening in vain for any incriminating evidence!
Without a van or any tools, Trevor cannot continue working in the garden, so he turns up at the Plaza Suite in response to a job that Harry has advertised. Harry is approached by “Happy” Jim Hargreaves, a lugubrious former colleague from the fire brigade. Hargreaves has “turned religious” and is organising a fund-raising event for the League of Absent Friends (LOAF). He wants to rent the Plaza Suite at a discounted rate. Thinking that it will be some sort of spiritualist event, Harry agrees.
However Hargreaves has more worldly plans – a boxing match. Trevor offers to help Hargreaves and sets up a date between his glamourous red-headed mother, Renata, and Harry, to get him away from the Plaza Suite for the evening. While Harry is with Renata, Ray comes round and Harry sees them locked in passionate embrace. Ray and Renata are planning to run away together, but don’t know how to tell Trevor: “It’s difficult to tell your best mate you’re in love with his mum”. Harry volunteers to break the news to Trevor, only to discover that Trevor already knows but doesn’t know how to tell them that he knows.
PUSHING THE ELEPHANT - OFFICE JARGON BUSTERFOILED UP - a project that went wrong because someone tried to do a crazy idea which was never ever going to work. The foil refers to mad people who wrap it round their heads to stop the government and Aliens reading their minds
FOILED UP - an ingenious drunken plan like lets chat up those bird by pretending to be astronauts or I'm going to walk home, leave the nightclub and commence 30 minutes of solid weaving before arriving straight back at the nightclub - TAXI.
There are only 30 episodes of Topcat made but it was shown every day for years
followed up quickly by 2 yer kidding me's and a you cannot be serious, check it out, it just goes to show old Newt's wasn't wasting all his time heading apples off his noggin.
Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) invented the first known cat flap. While he was in his attic trying to conduct light experiments, his cat kept nudging the door open and letting the light in, spoiling his experiments.
I would like to add at this point when I told my girlfriend of this interesting fact, she replied with firstly
"where did Issac Newton buy the cat flap from"
and then after I explained he invented it
"who did he invent it for"
PLANS TO UPGRADE ALIEN DEFENCE GRID
After Tony Blair watched Independence Day on DVD this week the Government have announced plans to upgrade the Britain's Alien Defenses and build a new generation of anti-Alien missiles. The plans in a white paper suggest that an Alien attack could happen at any moment and we need to be prepared.
'balls of flames with little red hot eyes'
he white paper does state that creating an anti Alien missle will face some technical challenges mainly due to the fact we don't know what Aliens look like yet. "it's hard to create a missle because we don't know if the Aliens will be robot like or little green men, they may even be balls of flames with little red hot eyes".
'Crazy'
critics believe the estimated 20 billion pounds would be better spent elsewhere. Kate Hinchley from BBC Five Live who is from the anti-alien defence grid pressure group said "if we go ahead and develop anti alien missiles then the aliens might take this as an act of aggression and attack us with a death star like weapon.". Government officials retaliated to this comment by saying "we cannot rule out the aliens if they exist haven't invented a Death Star, it is highly likely they have watched Star Wars and used many of the ideas from it".
NEW BRAINS AVAILABLE ON THE NHS BY SPRING
The be leagued NHS face a rush of people applying for new brains which could be available as soon as spring. Scientists accidentally discovered how to do a brain transplant whilst doing a routine brain twist operation.
Backward sentences left Dutch translator baffled
Jane Canterbury was having her brain twisted after she had fallen over whilst gardening and her brain had twisted back to front, which left her talking in backward sentences much to the confusion of her family who thought she was speaking dutch. After a dutch talking expert came round to translate but the backward sentences left the dutch translator baffled.
repeatedly banging head on tree
Paul Zenon who happened to be performing in the local corn exchange instantly recognized she was talking backwards because he had the unfortunate experience of twisting his brain at the age of four and doctors had diagnosed him as a brain damaged Mongoloid until he knocked it the right way round when he was 13. " It was a very confusing time because no one could understand what I was saying, so I become very frustrated and people got the wrong idea when I kept repeatedly banging my head on a tree down bottom of the garden but then one day it just popped back round and I could talk normally again"
magician who can't take a heckle
Initially people were concerned when after Jane heckled the zany Magician in backward talk, everybody laughed but Zenon who knew exactly what she said, Zenon rushed up and started smashing the Jane Canterbury's head against the seat in front of her. Her husband Derek Canterbury said "I thought here we go, another magician who can't take a heckle thinking he can go around whacking heads against chairs" but Zenon explained the innocent mix up and Jane was booked in for a brain twist operation.
Left handed heart
when the surgeons where doing the operation a trainee accidentally swapped Jane's Brain with a dead builder from Bolton. The gaff happened when one of the doctors told the YHS trainee doctor to swap the brains and then go to the store cupboard and get a left handed heart. "I thought he would realise I was joking but he didn't and swapped the brains". Jane then woke up after the operation and could talk normally again and no the NHS are to offer new brains by the spring.
SLIMMER OF THE YEAR CHEAT CLAIM
The winner of Slimworlds slimmer of the year has been thrown into controversy when it was revealed Mike Battey had had his leg amputated. Battey defended himself saying "it didn't say anywhere in the rules that amputated legs would not be counted in the weight lost that year". The directors of slimworld are concerned that this sets a dangerous precedent in slimming techniques used.
WHITE IS NOT WHITE
A furious row broke out today when conservative chief whip Terrance Tenby refused to acknowledge the colour white. When persistent presenter Jeremy Paxman asked the beleaguered MP "what colour is the colour white" Tenby refused to answer the question.
40 times in a row
Paxman asked the question 40 times in a row but Tenby refused to give to answer the question and instead asked Paxman questions like
"that is not the question, the question is should lower taxes"
"it doesn't matter what colour white is when grey will do"
Monkey balls
until finally he said
"white is not a colour"
Paxman jumped up and shouted "Monkeys Balls" and then herded the MP into a cupboard with a stick and refused to let him out until he admitted White was indeed white.
"Tell Ben that no magnet = no sausages tomorrow!! And no scotch eggs!!"

You have found out that your boyfriend has been cheating on your with the local hair dresser, you are obviously a bit angry so how do you react to the news.
a. Move out, you don't want to live with that love rat
b. Try to chuck him out of his own house because he cheated on you
c. Remain living with the cheater (serial cheater) and pretend everything is fine and then when he goes to work you unscrew the door handle and push it out the other way so you are locked in. You then shout out of the window to one of the neighbours, who then ask you if it was your boyfriend who did this to which you reply no no of course it wasn't, don't tell anyone.
An employee marched up drunk to the Managing Director shouting
"WHAT'S MY NAME"To which the MD to his credit gave the completely wrong name, still he didn't know that and I'm pretty sure he didn't give a flying f*ck
The same person the next xmas do was trying to get served late on but because of his drunken state they told him the bar was closed so the drunken warrior proceeded to shout at the bar staff
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"
To which they of course had no idea, apart from the fact he was a drunken tw@t so they promptly got him chucked out and then some pleaded from his fellow workers stopped the barstaff called the police.
MERRY CHRISTMAS INDEEDHere is a picture of the smallest toothpaste in the world and what's more the person brought this on holiday and it was half used, look how the toothbrush dwarfs the thing. In fact it looks like you could really only get about one squeeze from it.

Bond Review
Its a truth universally acknowledged that when anyone mentions secret spies in walks Bond as bold as brass with a shaken martini in one hand and his trusty PP7 in the other hand into a world of womanizing and gadgets.
since before Daniel Craig put on his first nappy people were wanting a real life Bond instead of the comic version delivered by the films. Here Casino Royale which is widely considered the best novel of Ian Flemings Bond franchise plays backdrop to the new real life Bond.
The book is updated, no cold war and it's a brand new start for Bond, out go the gadgets, unusual villains with 3 nipples, no golden guns, no provocatively named women, no empty volcano bases and to cap it off we are taken back to the beginning where Bond gets his double 0 status.
In this film Bond uses his poker playing skills to defeat the bad guy and gets his genitals smashed with a rope for his trouble, which may be one reason for his lack of action with women (he racks up a poor 2 conquests in this film). Felix Lighter makes an appearance and is back to being a black.
So what of Craig, well he runs around (and sometimes through walls) with no top on for what seem most of the movie displaying his toned chest, he has blonde hair, jokes about being whacked on the bollocks and gets the job done, even if he does make a few mistakes on the way.

TERRIBLE LYRICS
This has one of my favourite lyrics

"Lay Your Hands On Me"
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always what you need
So if you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher
I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get up off the ground
I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down
Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction's guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever come for free
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,
Lay your hands on me
[Solo]
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me

This weeks entry is called CARNOSAUR
This test below is all taken from the link above
The world's leading expert in biological warfare working for a poultry company? Does this sound like Perdue meets Saddam Hussein to you? Roger Corman, bringing funky bad movies to the screen before I was even an egg, scores again! Doc is doing a poor job of night security for a construction company and falls in love with Thrush, who is one of the eco-vandals! Their torrid love affair is disrupted by the plague Tiptree has bred into chicken eggs, she wants to repopulate the earth with dinosaurs and has created a virus to do it. Okay all done with the giggles? Good. Women infected give birth to dinosaurs! Right back to giggles... ...well, once you get composed. Along with scenes of puppet dinosaurs eating people there is this spooky footage of chickens, ever watch chickens feeding in low light - eerie. Doc is all set to save the day after locating a serum and killing mama dinosaur when the military arrives. Everybody gets a bullet then flamethrowers come into action, burning up Doc, Thrush, and the serum. Plenty of fun stuff in a movie when dinosaurs bite the legs off Barbie Dolls (I think it was a Barbie leg) and some funny plot goofs.
here is an fantastic link, just check out his little description.
carnosaur1.mpg - 2.8m I strongly urge you to watch this jaw-dropping scene. Not only can you see the man's hand who is pulling the girl's leg, but then you get to watch the amazing disappearing blood on her face.

The Diary of a Paranoid man
day 1.
I walked to work today and saw two tramps talking, I was certain they were talking about me, so I shouted "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT, I'M A HUMAN BEING TOO" they laughed cracky laughs and then the fat one without a dog wet himself to show me who was the boss.
day 2.
today I came equipped with a bottle of white lightening and some plastic cups. The tramps were only too happy to share a drink with me but then they got angry when there was none left and they chased me all the way to work.
day 3.
Today the tramps had gone and instead I saw a leaf with the face of Jesus on, I'm not a religious man but I wondered why God had left me this sign, maybe he is about to flood the world again.
day 4.
I couldn't go to work, I wasn't sure if the tramps would be there or wouldn't or if they existed at all and it wasn't all just a visual brain screen of my thoughts, thinking about this caused me to have one of my migraines, the tramps win again.
day 5.
today I drove in and a tramp tried to run me over in my car. He face seemed full to the brim of shock when he kicked my car with his legs whilst I was travelling at 40, he jumped away from the car into a ditch where he thought he would hide from me by not moving and spraying tomato sauce from his head sack. seemed shocked in his face when jumped away from car and into a ditch.
In the Beginning
The internet is something which you never use unless it's out of work hours like lunchtimes or afterwork.
The Middle Ages
You use it a few times a day, buying items of play and Amazon and looking at train times. You also use it to search out things you do not know.
In the end
Thank God for the internet, playing around on the internet makes working bearable and you wouldn't last a morning without it. You use it so much that when the Internet is down people seriously consider going home.
Right thats the end of a rather long show this week. I will clear up the controversial power of paint, I can't work out if it's rubbish or genius. Either way it's entertainment. The answer is Dale Winton, ahhh it's so obvious.
If you have something you want to contribute then send it too amusingitstories@gmail.com and thanks again for everyone's contributions this week. I think people should send in some more work doodles, the worse the better.
