What happens if you build a wooden horse, put some soldiers inside it, and then ask security guards if you can leave it overnight inside their complex?

It frightens me how funny I find this… (needs sound)

I like this moviefilm. Is nice!

But I really didn’t need to see two naked men wrestling. Especially when one of them was somewhat corpulent. Is not sexytime.

Emmie just emailed me the pic below. I love it!

Mainly, because they do things like this to get rid of a swarm of bees…

Back when I was a poor student, and worked part-time at McD, “I’m Lovin’ It” made my life hell. There was nothing like customers (drunk or sober) who thought it was funny to start singing it…

But, “Dick in a box” is pure genius.

Then check out this weeks Galacticast. Great stuff.

Well - like this…

WTF is up with that last one?

I received this email a few moments ago.

Hi,

Came across your site, spent a few minutes looking around and thought
it was pretty cool So, since I liked it so much, was wondering if I
could add you as a ‘friend’ on my site, www.uglyoftheday.com. All I ask
in return is that you link back to my site.

Hopefully we can get some good traffic flowing between our sites!

Let me know what you think…if nothing else, please check out my site,
I think it’s good for a laugh

Paul - Hi

I note that you sent your email to an address at dougweb.org that I never created.

I also note that your email makes no mention of my name, which tells me that you haven’t spent a great deal of time on my site, because it’s mentioned in large letters on the top-right of every page. In fact I don’t think you visited my site at all, because you also seem to have missed the ‘Contact Me’ link.

But because you are the first spammer that I’ve ever seen write a coherent email, you aren’t trying to sell me anything, you have no friends (see below) and because your site is actually quite funny I’ve decided that I will indeed publicise your site. But don’t expect an actual link that people can click on - that’s reserved for people who don’t spam my inbox. Meh.

Apparently it’s part the painful realities of hyena sex. Full article here. I’d like to thank fark.com for that little gem and making me do a double-take when I read that headline this morning.

Readers who live in the UK will know that despite being £800 million over budget this year alone, hospitals closing, people dying of neglect etc, the health secretary Patricia Hewitt reckons the NHS is ‘having it’s best ever year’. Bollocks.
