Amusing IT Stories - 13th Edition - The Last French in the Village

Howdy there youtube fans and lovers of the retro vibe that is sooo popular these days. I only wish I had bottled some 80's air so I could sell it on Ebay.

Anyway on with the show

Here is a picture of the stag who's stag do I attended in Newcastle. A lot people ask me what newcastle is like, it's cold and windy and I don't really know because I only saw a select group of pubs and clubs which will allow 22 drunken blokes in. Amusing we went to the rugby match Newcastle Falcons versus Brieve. Amusingly the newcastle locals assumed we were French because the stag was dressed funny.





R KELLY AND HIS ROCK OPERA

I was talking about these the other day, under the murky title of "what was that song with R Kelly singing about some midget in the cupboard"

RETRO SWEET


I forgot what this delicious chewy treat was called, all I could remember was the bright colours.

It was memorable without actually being that tasty because it lots its flavour in five minutes flat and then was like chewing plastic (hey why hasn't that been invented). Still it was only 2 pence a pop so who could complain.

WHIZBIT DOES EXIST

I was talking to some young pup who was born in the 80's and didn't know many of the classic shows I used to watch and then I said remember Whizbit , Paul Daniels showing us magic tricks and talking to a big bit of cheese on legs. He looked at me completely dumbfounded and then enquired if I had made it up and it sounded very unlikely. Suddenly I doubted myself, it sounded stupid, surely I must have dreamt it, it sounds like a classic night terror to me. But ha, how do you like these clips young un.

NAPPIES FOR DOGS - WRONG WRONG WRONG

this deserves it's own section, the video on this site is wrong. Firstly it's a wierd accordian poo nappy for dogs, that's the first wrong. The cheerful music with birds tittering is the second wrong. the third wrong is watching the dog feeling the accordian/hoover bag, the poor devil doesn't know whether to squat or what. Lastly the bloke seems to havea good look at the contents of the dirt bag.

THE HARD SELL

I saw this article in the guardian and it made me chuckle

Vauxhall

Sam Delaney
Saturday January 13, 2007

Guardian

Let's be honest, there's nothing glamorous about Vauxhalls. Their people carrier fleet constitutes the last word in suburban misery-wagons. Their ads don't even try to claim otherwise: they portray the average Vauxhall driver for what he is: middle-aged, world-weary and slightly tubby. The twist, of course, is that they allow two young children to play the parts of these heartbreaking stereotypes. Only one of the kids has now grown to almost adult size rendering the premise slightly flawed.

In the latest ad he looks easily old enough to parent a child of his own. Weirdly, his mate doesn't seem to have aged at all. Something funny's going on there. I've always thought there was something depressingly fatalistic about the whole campaign: as if the kids were destined for bleak, monotonous futures from the moment they left the womb. Wasn't that the sort of socioeconomic vicious circle Labour said they'd get rid of? I'd like to sit Gordon Brown down in front of a Vauxhall Zafira ad then ask him to tell me that social justice really exists in Britain. He'd be well baffled.

Anyway, the role reversal theme is a skilful distraction from the advert's mournful sentiment: if you own a Vauxhall you have pretty much given up on life. You used to dream of curing cancer or becoming a Shaolin monk, but now you're happy just as long as you get home from the garden centre in time for Just The Two Of Us without one of the kids spilling Ribena on the backseat. Still, who are the rest of us to judge? Life presents a similar anticlimax to everyone - at least Vauxhall drivers have the foresight to buy a sensible vehicle in which to confront it.

HOSK ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE

inspired by the hard sell article in the guardian I thought I would come up with my own car advert, now how shall I do this, shouldI have cars flying about to sinatra, some cuddly soft toys shouting come on or perhaps someone being sent the wrong way by their satalite navigation system so they can have fun driving up a curly road. No no no, I need something original.

stilll thinking

ahhaha Animals

I shall have the first scene with one rat who comes running over the hill, scampering a long. You notice he has a number stuck to his err fur. and then you see loads of rats seemingly chasing him. Scampering scampering faster faster.

then you see a lovely red shiny Skoda come racing over the hill, the pack of rats scatter and then the lonely leading rat jumps onto the bonnet of the car then the words pop up on screen

"Life's a rat race, drive the new Skoda and get a head of the pack"

WOMEN, BLESS EM

I was thinking about getting my haircut on Saturday but due to a series of not being arsed occurrences I didn't. This week my bird suggested I should get my haircut on Thursday because a lot of hairdressers open late on Thursdays.

Lets get this straight, blokes go to Barbers, not salons. Barbers are run by old men who definitely don't open late on Thursdays. Why would they open late, maybe so we could do some late night shopping!

It's another example of woman once again not understanding the simple straight forward mans world.

Russ Abbott

For some reason there are no clips of Russ Abbot on youtube, this could because he was rubbish. I couldn't really remember what he was like. Instead of clips you will have to read about him. I have copied some stuff from wikipedia, it's well worth going on to read all of it, it's actually quite interesting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Abbot

The Russ Abbot Show showed his talents as an all round entertainer and attracted millions of viewers. This show was very popular amongst younger viewers prompting 2 annuals to be published in 1982 and 1983. The annuals featured comic strips based on popular characters plus some publicity photos of Russ in a variety of guises.

After many years, Abbot bought the performing rights to his hit Atmosphere and refuses to allow it to be played on radio as he considers it to be a dire representation of his talents; however, many consider this to be a classic novelty hit (it spent no fewer than 2 months in the UK Top 20 in 1984).

He had a bad accident with hair plugs in the early 90's but no pictures exist of the dimple-era Abbot. He has now accepted his baldness and stopped wearing wigs/hats

he made this great song and then later banned it himself

RETRO GAMES

I was trying to think of some kind of toy that used to be all the rage. The biscuit came up with this

This is the micro machine travel city gas station. The set comes with drive through chip shop, menu sign, table and chairs and wheely bin. All these items fold up neatly into the base for easy storage and transporting. The set is in very good condition with only a few edges of the stickers starting to peel away

this is how real men sort out their problems. Real men with real names, like Hawk and Smasher. The clips of the film remind me of King pin, like it is some kind of spoof. I think they missed a trick. Rocky could have stopped boxing (finally) and then went into Arm Wrestling.

Enjoyed the blog this week.

In answer to one of your observations, Noel Edmonds' big melon heid is too big for his body because he is a fucking titch. I'm sure there's a quote from John Peel about him that goes something like, "He [Edmonds] could walk under a table, wearing full Indian head-dress".

Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 17, 2007


foofaraw \FOO-fuh-raw\, noun:

1. Excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration.
2. A fuss over a matter of little importance.


A somber, muted descending motif opens and closes the work, which is brief but effective. It provided much needed relief from the fanfares and foofaraw in which brass-going composers so often indulge.
-- Philip Kennicott, "Brass Spectacular is a Spectacle of Special Sound", St. Louis Post-Dispatch, January 17, 1997

After working in the news business for a number of years, I've become a bit cynical about mass-media coverage of events like the Y2K foofaraw.
-- Roy Clancy, "Ready for Y2K...", Calgary Sun, December 15, 1999

Making the Times best-seller list, or a movie, or all that other foofaraw is not necessarily proof of [a novel's] lasting significance.
-- Roger K. Miller, "Peyton Place' was remarkably good bad novel", Minneapolis Star Tribune, December 29, 1996

The word of the day was from dictionary.com
SPAM OF THE WEEK

This is a bit wierd but there you go thats spam for you. It did have a rubbish picture about some weight loss pills. still I think the spammers might be onto something, you send me porn stories and

Amusing IT Stories - 12th Edition - The Brutal Deluxe Edition

Afternoon and damn good Friday to you all. This weeks blog is top banana with some fantastic retroising (not bad spelling but a new word for ya) going on and the blog is jam packed to the rafters with youtube videos spilling over the tight trousers to make a muffin topped action packed blog.

I love this section because it comes up with the oddest thoughts that ever existed, what the hell is a cod liver oil fart and what are people going to do with a Gillian McKeith poo chart. google searches like funny clogging stories, like there is going to be whole website devoted to funny clogging stories!!!! This one sounds weird - explain "leave my cheese out in the wind" but it's a quote from Ferris Bueller which I featured on one of the earlier blogs

RETRO SWEETS

These aren't quite the sweets I was thinking of but I was thinking of the sweets that crackled on your tongue and there were reports in the paper that if you ate them with coke you stomach would explode. Fantastic Willy Wonka nightmare sweet, that's what children want, sweets with some danger mixed in and cocaine in their cokes.

Odd, almost surreal, jungle madness, 20 July 2001
Author: dana-dana from New York & Florida

O.K., so this is not a critical classic. In fact, it's oddball, low-budget nonsense. But you have to admit, it's great fun to watch. It's so strange that it forces you to watch it to the very end, just so you can be sure you are not making an error about the preposterous plot you're seeing. It's campy madness and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the obscure. You will find yourself wondering: How did they ever get Raymond Burr to take such a role?

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

http://80scartoons.co.uk/trapdoor.php

Crazy and hilarious 3D stop motion animation, featuring the cute blue creature Berk. Berk is a servant to The Thing Upstairs, and he lives in the servant quarters with his friends Boni (a talking skull) and Drutt (a naughty spider). Adventures are never far away when the Trap Door is left open and creatures find their way into the castle! Each episode lasts roughly 5 minutes.

BERK
The over-worked servant of the thing upstairs
SAYINGS
"Oh Globbits"
"Sniff that"
CLASSIC MOMENT
Every time he's cooking in his kitchen!


DRUTT
Berks troublesome naughty pet spider SAYINGs
As Terry Brain said...
"farty/squeaky sounds played backwards"
CLASSIC MOMENT
When Berk has enough and throws Drutt down the Trap Door!

BONI
The old, wise but moany skull SAYINGs
"Drutt - get off my trolley!" CLASSIC MOMENT
He gets a body (!) by a magic spell and runs around in joy!

ROG
Friendly monster from beneath the Trap Door SAYINGs
"Ello, my name's Rog" CLASSIC MOMENT
After Berk hits him, Rog throws him out the window!

Trapdoor reminds me a bit of the bar on tantoon

DEAR TONY
i HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS AND THAT I WISHED I COULD BE LIKE YOU, I LOVE MORPH AND I LOVED VISION ON AND I MISS IT AND THE SIGN LANGUAGE. HOPE YOU KEEP ON WHAT YOU LOVE. GBY AND BLESSED BE

Dear Tony,
Nearly 30 years ago, I had the good fortune to meet you in the Debenhams in Staines, where you were creating pieces for a charity event. You drew a tiger for me on blue paper, using only a marker pen. 30 years on, I still have that drawing, and my son has asked me who drew it. When I explained about "Take Hart" he said it sounded like "Art Attack" - it seems such a shame that there is entire generation that know little of your work. Carry on, good health, and Happy drawing.

YO DUDE!!!!! you are fantastic - loved your show to bits!! but me and my mate agree we were both quite pee'd off when you used paper that was too big, and we couldn't find it anywhere. TV is crap now...

Ali was 65 this week so the bbc has some quotes from the great man, all of them can be found here

Below are a few of my favourite ones

I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Floats like a butterfly, sting like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see

I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale; handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick; I'm so mean I make medicine sick

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and got into bed before the room was dark. Yet more '74 pre-fight build-up ahead of facing Foreman

Joe Frazier is so ugly that when he cries, the tears turn around and go down the back of his head.

Why, Chump, I bet you scare yourself to death just starin' in the mirror. You ugly bear! You ain't never fought nobody but tramps and has beens. You call yourself a world champion? You're too old and slow to be champion! To Sonny Liston before their fight on 25 February 1964

THIS IS THE NEWS

FURY OVER BIG BROTHER
Channel 4 has received thousands of complaints this week from people complaining that Big Brother is boring and just like watching some a bunch of boring people locked in a house all day with nothing to do. One viewer said "The scriptwriters should be sacked, the characters are dull, never have any interesting lines and should get out of the entertainment industry". Police are on standby to stop the show before a viewer falls asleep in candle light and burns down their house.


QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Take care and no more rubbing of bouncers chests whilst verbally abusing them...........you nearly gave me a heart attack!!!

I have got this quest to kill 10 of the bastards who have killed me 4 times already

BAD LYRICS

As Jason Donovan is cool again, here is a classic video of when he was cool before

jason donovan too many broken hearts

http://youtube.com/watch?v=u5Lamj6_7l0

I like the way he is playing an electric guitar on a mountain.

Here are the lyrics http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/j/jasondonovan6643/toomanybrokenhearts250807.html

Too Many Broken Hearts in the World

Last night you talked about leaving,
I said I can't let you go
It's not just emotional feeling
I need your body and soul

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'll be hurt; I'll be hurt, if you walked away

(Chorus)

Too many broken hearts in the world
There's too many dreams can be broken in two
Too many broken hearts in the world
So I won't give up the fight for you

The world is full of lonely people
Who never held onto love
Last night I tried to reach you
But somehow it wasn't enough

So I said, can't you wait any longer
I'll give you all that a lover should give
It ain't my pride but my love that is stronger
I'll be hurt; I'll be hurt, if you walked away

(Repeat Chorus *2)

You give me one good reason to leave me
I'll give you ten good reasons to stay
You're the only one I believe in
I'll be hurt; I'll be hurt, if you walked away

(Repeat Chorus till fade)

DRINK OF THE GODS - Feature on the brilliant b3ta website this week

Now some strange people out there like to put pinapples on sticks and accompany them with some cheddar. For one person this wasn't enough, they wanted more. The thought of a cheese tasting drink is enough to put me off

So they liquidized this party snack favourite

http://www.fatuous.co.uk/2006/12/06/nectar-of-the-gods/

it wasn't easy I like this quote

I was wrong. The resulting mixture looked like monkey sick. Doubts were forming in my mind. However while the devils of monkey sick doubt were banging at my eyeballs the angels of cheese and pineapple goodness were filling my nostrils with party joy.

this is what it looked like

did taste as bad as it looked, I would say so

The taste was pure cheese and pineappley goodness but the cheese did have a habit of sticking to the teeth and throat.

Hosking salutes

Breast-boosting beer

The Mighty Mr C sent this in, I'm not sure where he got it but its good stuff.

European men are flocking to Bulgaria to buy 'breast-boosting beer' after EU accession led to customs duties on the drink being abolished.

The millet-ale called Boza which is made from fermented wheat flour and yeast is being snapped up by bar owners, shopkeepers and shoppers from across Europe.

They are said to be keen for their wives and girlfriends to benefit from its reported ability to make women's breasts grow.

Constantin Barbu crossed the Danube from Romania to buy Boza in the Bulgarian border town of Ruse.

He said: "I've bought a case for my wife to try out. I really hope I see an improvement."

And Austrian landlord Klaus Schmidt from the ski resort of Schladming said he was planning a trip soon.

He added: "I had heard of Boza before but it was always so expensive once the tax was added. But now that's gone I'm going to start offering the drink to my après-ski customers."

Fantasy Football league

The Mighty is use to being a big loser, so as he has some how got to the top of the fantasy football league at work he sent a pleading letter for it to be featured in the blog
here is the sad letter

Dear Jim,
This is neither IT related or funny but you gotta put a screen shot of our Fantasy Footy League table on the blog!

NOEL EDMONDS IS A LEGEND - COSMIC

Mr C sent me this rather odd webpage. I like it because someone has put in a hardly any effort, nice garish colours, well in some ways the website does represent Edmonds very well

http://www.redboxcompany.co.uk/tshirt.html?Submit=CLICK+HERE

it has some nice pictures of edmonds stuff

I like the description

In this book, Noel talks about the high and low points in his professional career, how he dealt with major changes in his professional and personal life and how his belief in himself and the Cosmos have brought him back to our screens in Deal or No Deal. Drawing on his own experience he tells you how to:

Make your own luck
Stay focused when things are getting tough
Be positive in a negatively orientated world
Play to your strengths
Step outside your comfort zone

there was one person who didn't like noels book after someone had brought it for him http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/customer-reviews/0091912989/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/203-3028912-2828723?ie=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=266239

Despair, 20 Aug 2006

Reviewer: M. D. Smart (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Do you ever look at some of the books apparently selling well on this site, and the customer comments about them, and feel a mixture of incredulity and despair at the stupidity of the public? Presumably the people buying this are the same mugs who went mad for 'The Celestine Prophecy' about a decade ago.

Here we have Noel Edmonds telling us how to make our lives and the world around us better. Stunningly, this is actually meant to be a serious book; I had assumed it was a joke, but no. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If I ever felt tempted to look to someone like Noel Edmonds or a fad like 'cosmic ordering' for guidance, I'd know it was time to throw myself off the nearest cliff. Congratulations to everyone who has bought this, for lining the pockets of a man for whom no act is too low and no stunt too tasteless in his quest for fame and fortune.

What's next, I wonder? "Jim Davidson Explains The Meaning Of Life"? "Bernard Manning's Guide To A Tolerant And Caring Society"?

Noel edmunds tells us how to chillout

those two books are nothing compared to the official guide to Crinkley bottom, which is being sold for one pence

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Guide-Crinkley-Bottom-Fantail/dp/014090025X/sr=1-4/qid=1168875640/ref=sr_1_4/203-3028912-2828723?ie=UTF8&s=books

what is bizarre is the picture, Noel some how manages to look someone has put his head on a thunderbird puppet. His head is just to big for his body



WORD THAT CAN BE USED TO INSULT YOUR FRIENDS

Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 10, 2007


coxcomb \KOKS-kohm\, noun:

1. obsolete. A cap worn by court jesters; adorned with a strip of red. (Now cockscomb).

if you have anything funny that was sent to you or you have read on the internet send it in to this address amusingitstories@gmail.com Also why not do a work doodle in that boring meeting this week or spend five minutes looking up a classic game/toy/tv show you used to waste time on in the good old days.

STILL HAVENT FOUND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR


Wedgie Techniques

inspired by someone every week typing in hanging wedgie and then getting to my page. I set about finding what this hanging wedgie is and whilst wading through a load of wedgies I found this

http://www.wedgiegirls.com/techniques/techniques.html


it's basically a list of wedgie techniques and here are some of the odd ones

Breakfast Wedgie
The victim first has their underwear filled with cereal, then milk is poured down their underwear ,then they are given a wedgie. Submitted by Kelsey

Conga Wedgie
This needs a group of people who are all standing in a line or a circle like a conga. Ideally they should go boy, girl, boy, girl etc. Each person takes hold of the person in fronts underwear and on the shout of 3,2,1,Wedgie! everyone gets a wedgie at once. (doing the conga song after is optional). This was common for a while in French nightclubs when they had a song about thongs and wedgies in the french charts - I don't know what the song was called but if anyone out there does you can email me and collect your prize :)

Hanging Wedgie
A wedgie where the victim is hung completely off the ground by just their underwear

Melvin
Grab underwear from the front and pull up.

Wedgie War !!!
A mass wedgie fight usually started by someone in a group giving a wedgie whilst shouting "Wedgie War!"

BAD LYRICS - Grease

This song is the only good thing about grease and it's only good because it's so stupid, its like they all have some kind of brain failure and start leaping about and talking bollocks. Good god they are the oldest students I have ever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UNyNdaaj8


here are the lyrics to
We go together

[Danny and Sandy]
We go together like
rama lama lama
ke ding a de dinga a dong
remembered for ever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom

[Sandy, Danny, Rizzo & Kenickie]
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
That's the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!

[All]
We're one of a kind
Like dip di-dip di-dip
Doo-bop a doo-bee doo
Our names are signed
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
boog-e-dy
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop

We'll always be like one
Wa-wa-wa-waaa!

When we go out at night
And stars are shinin' bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be lo-oh oh oh-oh oh-ove

[Can be broken up into groups]
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding a da ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo

Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
We'll always be together
Wha oooh yeah!

We'll always be together
We'll always be together [End here or fade out]
A wop ba-ba lu-mop a wop bam boom!

rating the pundits

http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8746_1815766,00.html

here are some highlights


Andy Townshend 4.5/10
Comes with a huge, distracting nose and lumpy, warty skin which gives him an odd, Dickensian barrow boy sort of look but you have to feel sorry for him standing pitch side with that table half of the year. If ITV want to be taken seriously in 2007 they need to get rid of the old guard. Bye bye Andy.

Alan Shearer 3/10
As bad as Lee Dixon but gets an extra half a point for the sh*t-eating grinning, no doubt at the thought of all the money he's earning for doing so little work. His analysis largely consists of just saying what is happening on the screen. "He's hit it with his right foot and it's gone in," to which a nation shouts "we know, we can see!!" Only the BBC could pay someone so much for doing so little in such a poor way. We're disappointed with that and will be all 2007 long.

Paul Merson 3/10
Merse appears to have brain damage. He seems unable to speak coherently and has weird blank but slightly frightened eyes, as though he's expecting to be attacked by bats at any moment. His bursts of manic laughing are a genuinely frightening sight. Good comedy value if you enjoy laughing at the handicapped. Part of me just wants him to do that I'm-drinking-big-pints tongue out thing. He was good at that.

Peter Reid 1.0
He can't pronounce any foreign names and when he says anything that is actually comprehensible, its all clichés and tired old nonsense. For a man who has had a lifetime in football he appears to have picked up no knowledge or insight or is simply unable to communicate it, which is what it's all about as a pundit. Gets 1 point for turning up and having the sheer gall to think he can even do the job. Amazingly, will probably hang on in 2007.

BORING BLOGS

The Second Boring blog from St. Dickeybird The Blasphemous http://dickeybird.blogspot.com/index.html

Dream

Last night I dreamt that I was dead
Not such a bad thing, just a change of scene
Couldn't talk to you, you couldn't see me anyway
Funny how tomorrow plays out just like yesterday.


Okay, that wasn't how I meant to start this post. That was the first verse of a song I wrote a few years ago, Away From Me.

Let's start again...

Last night I dreamt that I was standing alone in an excavated field. It was a huge expanse of dirt and tire-tracks. There were a few bulldozers around, but no people. It was deadly silent.
I couldn't tell if something had been torn down, or if something was about to be built.

I'm betting this has some meaning, I'm just not sure what.

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

i know it's early but my arse is calling for a shit-stop

i watched jessica simpsons tits this sunday in that Employee of the Month. Shit film. Great rack.

When I blow my nose, I always have to look at the snot but I don't know what I'm expecting to find


person1 : the government doesn't make motorways any more it builds A roads and puts an M on the end
person2 : what the government needs is to create flying cars then they won't have to worry about conjestion because even if a fews cars do have a crash they will just crash down to the ground leaving the flyways free and clear.


SICK EXCUSE

this one was emailed in I might add

"I can't come in today because my wife is sick"


Hosking Salutes

Hosking salutes are given to people for

The Hosk salute is a chance to air some amusing stories of bravery in the heat of drunked battle

A back dated Hosk Salute to Hollow Legs Rennie for once getting so drunk he actually missed a flight he was booked on the next day. What adds to the story is that he was flying out to go to someones wedding and there wasn't another flight until the next day, A Hosk Salute to you sir.

A Hosk saulte to Hosk, pictured with a bottle of lambrini, the caption for this would be

"how does this thing work? he asked himself"








RANT OF THE WEEK

sun crosswords

if you are there trying to tackle the sun crossword people come in and say instantly start saying how easy the sun crossword is, these people I might add have never actually tried tackling the sun crossword. If they did they wouldn't be slagging off the sun crossword and do you want to know why because it's fooking hard. Yes granted you get a smattering of easy clues but every crossword has that but then the rest are tricky tricky tricky. So just lay off the sun crossword and if you are one of those people, why don't you try it before you slag it off.


10 things we didn't know last week

BBC have a cool page with 10 new facts, here are the highlights

1. UK traffic lights emit about 50,000 tonnes of CO2 per year through energy use.

4. More than 20 million people visit Little Chef roadside outlets each year.

6. Holders of the MBE can be stripped of the honour at the discretion of the Queen, "if evidence of wrongdoing comes to light".

8. A shortage of volunteer leaders has led to a waiting list of 50,000 girls wanting to join the Girl Guides.

9. Noel Edmonds' middle name is Ernest, although it’s not noted in his first Who's Who entry, in the newly published 2007 edition. He is listed as Noel E Edmonds.

NEW YEARS MOTIVATION

Man I dig the music for the. I watched Star Trek V on the week and it was fantastically daft so I thought I would put a clip in for you guys.

for it's full title it is Star Trek V : The Final Frontier

I will give you my version, I only saw a bit but Mr Spock has a hippy brother who can brain wash people Paul McKenna style and he brain washes them to all believe that Heaven, which is called Shangrila or something is actually a planet. So off they go and then they meet God, MWHAHAHAAHA brilliant, I can't remember what happens but no doubt Kirk outwits him using his American brash style, here is what IMDB say

Plot Outline: Capt. Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock's half brother who hijacks the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God

Here are a couple of trailers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LurjQE3g24Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waTwJITjBBw

here are some quotes from imdb

"God": You doubt me?
Kirk: I seek proof.
McCoy: Jim, you don't ask the Almighty for His ID.
"God": Then here is the proof you seek.
[shoots Kirk with lightning bolt]

Kirk: Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!

Kirk: Spock, my top priority right now is to regain control of the ship. After that, you can debate Shakari until you're green in the face.


[hiking in the woods of Yellowstone]
Chekov: Admit it, we're lost.
Sulu: All right, we're lost. But we're making good time!

[eating a campfire dinner]
Spock: Bipodal seeds, Doctor?
McCoy: Beans, Spock. But no ordinary beans. These are from a special Southern recipe handed down by my father. And if you stick your Vulcan nose up at these, you're not only insulting me, but generations of McCoys.
Spock: In that case, I have little choice but to sample your beans.

STRIPPERS

These photo's are from a long time ago but I thought they deserve a mention on the blog. Here you see some Spearmint Rhino strippers who go about enticing people to go to the strip joint. At the time we thought they were gorgeous it was only when we saw the pictures the following day we realised that maybe the reason they get they boobs out is to stop people looking at their faces. one friend of mine said after looking at the pictures. Also look at their heads, either they have small heads or the J man has a massive noggin the nog.

"oh my god it looks like their faces are melting like in Indiana Jones when he lifts the lid off the ark"

Word of the week

I like words and I especially like words I can use at my mates, slagging them off without them knowing what I mean, so I was happy when I saw this little beauty word from Dictionary.com. I would like to add, I like words but I don't like spelling or grammer.

uxorious \uk-SOR-ee-us; ug-ZOR-\, adjective:
Excessively fond of or submissive to a wife.

It is batty to suppose that the most uxorious of husbands will stop his wife's excessive shopping if an excessive shopper she has always been.
-- Angela Huth, "All you need is love", Daily Telegraph, April 24, 1998

Flagler seems to have been an uxorious, domestic man, who liked the comfort and companionship of a wife at his side.
-- Michael Browning, "Whitehall at 100", Palm Beach Post, February 22, 2002

Fuller is as uxorious a poet as they come: hiatuses in the couple's mutual understanding are overcome with such rapidity as to be hardly worth mentioning in the first place ("How easy, this ability / To lose whatever we possess / By ceasing to believe that we / Deserve such brilliant success").
-- David Wheatley, "Round and round we go", The Guardian, October 5, 2002

GOD GOT IT WRONG - CLAIMS SCIENTIST
What was god thinking when he put men's testicles on the outside. His other inventions are great but he really got it wrong with men's testicles, firstly they are meant to be attractive to the opposite sex but they look like horrible furry sack made of elbow skins with a couple of marbles on. More importantly why did he put them on the outside, it's a schoolboy error.
80's TV Tastic

This week we have an episode guide to LOVEJOY, they certainly don't make them like that anymore. It's amazing really, as a kid you will watch any old rubbish on TV

The Axeman Cometh


First aired: 1/17/1986

Lovejoy buys an old Welsh dresser at Charlie Gimbert's auction. It has come from the house of an old man who recently died. Hidden inside the dresser, Lovejoy finds a rich Arab head-dress, festooned with gold ducats. Then Catesby, a bruiser who has just got out of jail and is also the son of the dresser's late owner, says his father had promised him the dresser and he wants to buy it back. Lovejoy agrees and lets it go - but without its golden treasure. Catesby is soon looking for Lovejoy armed with an axe. And he is in good company, as one of Her Majesty's Inland Revenue inspectors is also after Lovejoy.

Amusing IT Stories - 10th Edition - Aled Jones Spits at Kids!

Happy new year. In honour of the Face man being put in the big brother house with some people channel four are telling everyone they are famous, despite no one knowing who they are. I think this year it's the opposite from last year where they had one non celebrity and lots of non celebs, these year its the opposite one celeb and loads of no ones.


I am continuing with the Retro theme as it's quite enjoyable for me to look at on Friday as well. So if you have any old cartoon, sweets, TV programs, pictures of toys and games, send it into amusingitstories@gmail.com

Most of this weeks effort is me pasting a lot of links in to stories and video's but I have a sneaky suspicion you actually prefer this. A big thanks to Mr C who most have sent me half of this weeks blog and there are some things I didn't have time to add. His effort should embarrass the rest of you (into sending stuff in next week).


NEW YEARS MOTIVATION

It's tough starting a new year, your body is still hurtin from all the booze and binge eating you did over Xmas, so what you need is a bit of motivation, what you need is to watch some Rocky, especially a training montage. Also check out how realistic the fight is in Rocky 4

BAD LYRICS - BAD LYRICS IS WOT I NEED

This one is a bit of interesting fact as it has just been redone, Come on down Eddie Murphy and Party All The Time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeFAcDVVW-I

The lyrics are from here

Eddie Murphy Party All The Time Lyrics
Girl
I can't understand it why you want to hurt me
After all the things I've done for you.
I buy you champagne and roses and diamonds on your finger -
Diamonds on your finger -
Still you hang out all night
what am I to do?

My girl wants to party all the time

Party all the time
party all the time.
My girl wants to party all the time
party all the time.

She parties all the time - party all the time

She likes to party all the time - party all the time

party all the time - she likes to party all the time

party all the time.

Girl
I've seen you in clubs just hanging out and dancing.
You give your number to every man you see.
You never come home at night because you're out romancing.
I wish you bring some of your love home to me.

But my girl wants to party all the time
. . .
My girl wants to party all the time
. . .

Party
party
party she likes to party all the time.
She likes to party all the time -
She lets her hair down
she lets her body down:
She lets her body
she lets her body down.
Party all the time - do you wanna get any party
yeah.
Party all the time - party all the time.


THEY STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT THEIR LOOKING FOR

What the hell is a hanging wedgie, in my mind I imagine it's a wedgie where they hang the wedgieee on a tree or something. I love the fact there is a product called a slimming belt, for god sake you fatties just stop blooding eating and go and put the slimming belt down. Now can I have a minutes silence for the poor flat chested soul who typed in "does rubbing butter on your boobs make them bigger", of course it doesn't you idiot, although in the name of science I am willing to help conduct experiments doing it


POWER OF PAINT

Advice on the Internet

in the search above they was one poor girl who wanted bigger boobs and I clicked on one of the search results and it came back with this site

Where someone types in a problem here

how do u get bigger boobs?

The Problem: I'm 14 and I barely fit into an A! I heard it helps to drink milk or rub butter on ur boobs to grow. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make my boobs grow?

and then people reply to it, the first reply is just plain mean, the rest are crazy, the Internet is chocoblock full of idiots

uhhh... well... im 15 and im almost a D... its crazy isn't it!?

Anonymous

It takes time... i remember when i was 10 i wanted boobs and i pushed them together all the time... and i think it might have worked, cause im 13 now and a 38 C.

Its marshall1991 actually.

some ppl get there boobs as young as 12 and som dont get them till thier about 17 but dont worry about it! ways to help them grow tho is wen u take a shower let the water be cold i dont how this works but it dose and never where a bra 2 bed as that can stop them from growin and some times just let them b 3 and dont wear a bra but dont do this 2 often as they will droup, drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep, hope's this helps!

Tigz

i don't have any either but i like it cause i know that alot of girls have back problems from them, don't do as well in sports with big ones, and boys only notice the chest. i think you should just let nature take its course.

somebody

im a guy, so maybe i dont know, but i here corn helps out, that butter stuff sounds like a fetish though, and milk will make you fat in the long run(i.e. the fat from the milk doesn't stay in your fun bags for ever)

mr.lemon

well im 16 and 36E well girl my boobs where 32C AT 13 big innit me just kept drinking alot of whole milk u no the ones with the blue top and it did the trick im a happy girl now and me mates boyfriends keep looking at me boobs and plus i am proud of myself. so make the most of it girl and do what i did do what hades bitch said as well.

young bimbo

well i have not worn a bra for like 1 week i mean to bed of course but i went from a 32a to 32c wow huh guyz r hittin all over me n i dont have a big butt

!!! its true

i heard that rubbing ur boobs makes them bigger too, but i have small ones although i want bigger ones.

anonymous

I heard if you get naked and put your boobs up to a TV, the static will make them bigger. Then have sex alot because the horomones and the bouncing will make them grow like flowers. Just have fun with them.

Miss Big Tits

I heard eating carrots would make ur boobs bigger. also if you eat cucumbers you well turn prettier.. (i guess that means that your skin would get better...) anywayz.. mm.. and like all the other girls said .. rub them a lot.. when i was a little girl my mom told me that if u touch ur boobs then they'll grow so i got disgusted and i didn't touch it.. damn .i wish i had touched them.. well. .i'm 16 and 34 A.. that's so damn sad. .

Boring blogs

this one is a picture blog really and it's called Done a poo blog -



The second blog is called The Rather Mundane World of Rikaitch

the wmv file linked in the blog is brilliant showing the "real" dangers of chat rooms but if the people are all in the same room. It is so funny, seeing all this old geezers sitting in a room talking bollocks. I don't really get the ending though, is it a good a bad thing

Chatrooms

When I was working for the local college, I was to do a teaching certificate to prove that I was a bonefide teacher. My boss, a scary looking viking called Fred, decided we'd be the first to do a qualification meaning we could teach via the internet, so distance learning had a lot more impact. One thing we had to write about was the function of chatrooms, the people that use them, and if or how they affect society.

The equivalent of a field trip was taken into a popular chatroom, and a few surprises were made. We all have an image of chatrooms being seedy places full of kids and paedophiles, but the reality was a diverse range of people. Now don't get me wrong, it was apparent that 99% of users were there to procreate, but a handful of people were genuinely friendly. I made a lot of friends in there, and still speak to a lot of them to this day. An awful lot of them also became students or customers, so not all bad at all.

So imagine my pleasure this week to get a link to a video portraying if a chatroom was a real place. It highlights a lot of truths, and is a real eye-opener.

I have to warn you, this is a large file, 16.8Mb to be exact. I made it smaller, but it's a very long video. It's not recommended to watch on dialup or slow (*cough*AOL*cough*) broadband. It might be better to right click it and save it before you view it.

Enjoy.

BAD TV - BAYWATCH

1.19 "Shark Derby"

Detailed summary
Bucky Allen, the owner of Bucky's Ocean Grill has arranged a shark derby. He does it just so that he can gain publicity. In order to try and make the derby more successful, Bucky sends two brothers, Roy and Matt, down to the bottom of the ocean to plant a device that attracts sharks. The water becomes full of sharks and even more sharks arrive, when the entrants start traveling back and forth on the water. Cort and Eddie enters the derby. Thorpe and Hobie are also in the derby.
At the beach, Jill is forced to make a daring rescue, when a shark approaches some kids in a raft. She manages to rescue all the kids, but when she has brought the final one to Shauni at the Baywatch boat, the great white shark attacks Jill and drags her away. Mitch is too far away from her and can't rescue her.
Later, while Jill recovers at the hospital, Cort and Mitch go down in a shark cage and hope to record something under the surface. They record a high frequency sound and they are convinced Bucky placed it there. Garner goes to the restaurant to look around. This makes Bucky scared and he sends Roy and Matt down to bring back the device to him. Then Mitch, Garner, Cort and Eddie arrive and Bucky falls overboard. Before he is rescued, he has to confess everything. Garner hears everything and arrests Bucky.
Later, at the hospital, Jill dies unexpectedly. Then Mitch, Craig, Eddie and Shauni all reflects on the special way Jill was part of their lives.

AMUSING FAMILY TALES

I have heard some good stories over xmas mainly involving the comander (My Dad)

whilst alied Jones singing "were walking in the air" was on TV

Ma : I l like him he is a very nice bloke

Commander : how do you know he is a nice bloke, I heard he is a horrible bloke who spits at kids


The commander was complaining at Ma because she had failed to tell him to deliver some christmas cards. When Ma and me explained we did tell him he had to deliver the cards just yesterday afternoon he then said

"Well how am I meant to know that, you should have know I wasn't paying attention"

Another highlight of xmas was Ma and my nephews girlfriend both falling off the table at the same time because they were too drunk and me and Ma failing to clean up the mess on xmas day because we were too drunk to change the hoover bag

We also played a family fun game called "who's in the bag" where you basically pull a piece of paper out of the bag which has three names on, you have to then give clues (without saying the name) for your team mates to guess who it is. The best clue was

"the change you get from a condom machine"

who was he talking about, Johnny Cash of course. The Kate Moss one was easy as well because all you had to do was sniff and say model.


Temperance society

After the indulgence of the last few weeks, I have had enough of boozing and eating chocolate and crisps and any other unhealthy food.

I thought I would join the temperance society for 2 weeks

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/REtemperance.htm

and here is a link for temperance movement around the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement

but don't stay with the society for too long otherwise you will become boring and people will stop inviting you out to play


RETRO GAME OF THE WEEK

Alien Highway or Highway Encounter

This was sent in by Mr C and this is what he thinks about it

i love the way this one counts down to zone zero and you go back and rescue your drones then clear the way for them some more like smokey and the bandit but an alien

and if you want to see where the review comes from go here or I have borrowed the best bit below, the review is below or the best bit is the youtube video which is here

Defeat the aliens again in this sequel to Highway Encounter. Once again you must guide the Vorton and its precious weapon; this time the Terratron, through 30 zones in an attempt to destroy the extraterrestrials' industrial complex. Avoiding the electrified edge of the road at all costs, you must get past the cunningly placed obstacles, whilst shooting the Zebs and any passing kamikaze aliens. Along the way you are also required to arm the bomb by picking up seven regeneration stations or otherwise it will fail to detonate. However what is a good, hard game is let down by MODE 1 graphics and poor sound.

NAUGHTY CHILDREN WORK EMAIL

Sometimes people get angry at work and they vent this anger using the medium of email, we like it when people do this.

Can everyone please check the mouse that they are using, as the training room's 'special supply' of optical mice seems to be a bit depleted. To aid in identification, they cunningly enough have 'Training' written on the bottom, which should be an indicator of their true home for which they were originally bought.

SPAM OF THE WEEK

This spam is one of the new breed of jpg and a verse. This one had the title of CHANGE which is a good title for new year spam. I do quite enjoy reading the text supplied in the spam emails, it's just bonkers


Another globule for a fraction has a change of heart about a buzzard. Furthermore, a mortician hesitates, and a grain of sand is a big fan of the bartender toward the senator. A crank case toward a hockey player feverishly throws a mating ritual at some cheese wheel. If a stovepipe brainwashes a steam engine of a prime minister, then the vaporized spider rejoices.

AMUSING STORIES ON THE NET

Here are the answers for rubbish icons, that one on the end really gets me, it looks like a musical note. Also the person in this weeks power of paint is Pete Doherty, good work from the Biscuit there, he has spent just the right amount of time so that the picture isn't too good but yet isn't rubbish.










HORROR MOVIES

This weeks horror film is called
- The Monster Maker (1944)

Plot Outline: Mad scientist injects his enemies with acromegaly virus, causing them to become hideously deformed.

what's better is that you can watch the whole film for free here

http://www.jonhs.net/freemovies/monster_maker.htm


and there is an amusing review on imdb here or shown below

Worth catching for several reasons, 5 February 2001
Author: pmsusana from New Orleans, Louisiana

This is one of those films that's entertaining for its sheer audacity. It also has an unusually interesting cast for a small-studio B-picture. J. Carroll Naish (as the evil Dr. Markoff) and Ralph Morgan (as victim Anthony Lawrence) were veteran character actors who were always worth watching, and Glenn Strange (as Steve, Markoff's giant-size henchman) would be promoted that same year to playing the Frankenstein Monster in the first of three films for Universal.

This professional cast tries to lend believability to several ludicrous situations. At one point Markoff attempts to put his nervous female assistant under a Svengali-like hypnotic influence; when this fails, Markoff turns loose his pet gorilla (!) in the hope that the beast will kill the beauty, though all it does is overturn a table.

Some critics have found this film particularly distasteful since it deals with acromegaly, an actual disfiguring disease (see the bio for actor Rondo Hatton elsewhere on this data base). And the sight of the malformed Mr. Lawrence (when his daughter suddenly enters a darkened room) is certainly an unforgettable jolt.



THE FINISH LINE

Right well done everyone for reaching the finish line, thanks for all the contributions but do keep them coming especially bad lyric videos and retro games and tv shows. All you need to do is spend a few minutes on youtube or google videos and type in some old show or game you used to play and then send me your findings, maybe with a bit of waffle thrown in. The email address to send it to is amusingitstories@gmail.com
