Well shiver me timbers and call me Chunky, if it isn't a new episode of Weebl & Bob.
The latest episode brings a mixture of jousting, Pimp My Ride and jam.
W&B, as they are know to fellow omelettes, can now carry a heap load of kudos on their shoulders for giving respect to Pimp My Ride. This show is one of the best programmes ever to come out of the Axis of Evil, er, I mean, America. Right up there with the A Team, Knight Rider, and - yes - Saved By The Bell.
If you have't come across Weebl & Bob before, there isn't much to understand. There's an egg called Weebl. He's the bigger one. And there's an egg called Bob. He's the smaller one. And in this episode, they meet another egg.
Pimp my click, motherclicker. (It's a LARGE-ISH FILE by the way.)

If my corneas melt, blame Starflyer 59
I fear more and more that my corneas are beginning to meld unhelpfully with my computer screen as I wade deeper into the world wide mire of the interweb.
My latest obsession was sparked when I discovered very little of Starflyer 59 on Wikipedia, the public access online encyclopedia of some renown. Starflyer 59 (or SF59 to those in the know) are a Christian rock band that I have followed for some time. As SF59 fans have a tendency towards fixation beyond that of a casual fan, I expected to see a feast of text on Wikipedia. But no, there were only a few lines, which on Wikipedia barely amounts to a sausage.
Well, not until now. I have started by adding a discography to the page. You can see it by clicking your little arrow here. See that discography bit? That's me, that is.
Of course, now this has ignited another obsession in that completist bit of my brain that insists I own every bit of Starflyer 59 plastic on this polluted Earth. So if anyone has She's The Queen, Le Vainqueur, Plugged or Live At The Paradox (which I had forgotten existed until I researched for Wikipedia), please let me know. Please. No, seriously...
My eyes hurt.

Aliens have invaded my blog. Sorry.
Very inconvenient this, but aliens have invaded my blog.
It was happily surfing the interweb dimension when suddenly these UFOs flew over and...
...well, see for yourself. Click here.
Stupid aliens.

Bill Drummond is going to be at Greenbelt...
...so says my playbuddy Fil whose letterbox spewed a flyer claiming the KLF genius will appear at the UK's premier post-evangelical fest.
Me wonders if this is something to do with a chap called John Davies, a curate based in Liverpool who is a Drummond obsessive and Greenbelt's SoulSpace organiser.
A search for "Bill Drummond" on Greenbelt's website turns up no results in exactly 0.4 seconds. Why do they need to tell me it took 0.4 seconds to find nothing?
Fil reckons it's all a practical joke and Drummond won't turn up, replaced instead with a grey stick.
Here's a grey stick for sale at a handsome price of 56 Australian dollars. Drummond may be interested in buying this expensive bit of twiggery. After all, he has got money to burn.
A search for "grey stick" on Greenbelt's website also turns up no results in 0.4 exactly seconds. A coincidence? I think not.

Overheard conversation... #2
Irritated woman manhandling rucksack off bus, man walking behind being generally unhelpful.
Woman: "No, you don't understand, it's not a dating holiday, it's a singles holiday."
Someone revoke her passport, pleeease.

A tribute to my dead phone
So. Farewell then
Nokia 3310
In charcoal grey.
I remember when
Everyone had one
Back in
The day.
"One Key Calling"
"Closed User Group"
"Voice Dial"
Such features
I never
Used.

William, it was really nothing (well about 30 seconds)
Ah the joys of butter sandwiches, of felt felt and of the web that is as wide as the world.
I was as excited as a Christmas tree when top revolutionary punk rockers The Others sent me a link to their new video, 'William'.
Imagine my delight as my computer jumped to a splash page complete with an audio loop ... which plays and plays and plays and doesn't stop when you load up the video proper. I shouldn't have to press mute, that's the web page's job. It should mute. The Realplayer should load and the page should mute.
Just picture my contortions of spasmodic happiness as, with the main page muted, the video loaded a collossal 30-second clip. Not much longer than the annoying loop I had already endured.
So now I am disappointed with The Others. In the true spirit of the band's name, here are some "other" websites (geddit?!?!?) that might be worth bothering with instead:
1) Check out Performance here (click on the Features link). Apparently the lead singer keeps blanking my friend Bex. I'm sure it's not intentional, but until he is proven innocent, he is indeed a total twap.
2) Laugh at two terrible racial stereotypes shouting at each other. Japanese shop assistant: "Talka to da haaand!" Black kid: "I'm gonna blow this motherfucker up if I don't get my motherfucking change!" As uncomfortable as The Office. Come back, Willis, all is forgiven.
3) A Year Of Living Generously is an inspirational idea... so why is the 'Generous actions underway now' column completely empty? I'm going to be generous this week, just to make up for it.
