Friday, September 1, 2000Gribble People often ask me: "What is the animal with the best name?" That would be the Gribble (or Wood Boring Gribble). You can see some informative facts about this marvellous creature (including, usefully, its distribution in Scandinavian waters) at Aquascope. It's Cool, It's Hot Looking at the egroups registration page, I noticed that their banner said "It's cool, it's hot, it's fun" Isn't it strange how it can be both cool and hot at the same time (maybe different areas are different temperatures) and that both of these temperature extremes are seen as positive attributes. Is it only me who thinks this is dead sinister? Surely, if there are these two temperature extremes, there must be some kind of gradient between areas where it would be at best tepid. Why is this not advertised? I would consider a median, room-temperature to be far preferable to being either "cool" or "hot", both of which would leave you at best uncomfortable and at worst in a state of hyper- or hypo- thermia. These people should be shot. Nom De Guerre Much like superman, I spend my life fighting for Truth, Justice, and the Armenian Way. To facilitate my constant battle against the forces of evil, I have identified a requirement for a nom de guerre. Current contenders are: Duncan De Sordillee If you have any further ideas for a suitable nom de guerre, or indeed if you have a good one yourself, please send them to ihaveagoodideadforanomdeguerresuitableforuseinthefightagainstevil@rathergood.com Thursday, August 31, 2000Soapy Titbits Wonderful news! GIMMESOAP.COM will be launching on Monday. You can register now though, and get a daily delivery of soap opera direct to your inbox. It's the best thing ever to happen in the history of mankind. Why am I so upbeat about it? Because I have a stake in it of course. Anyway, I've sweated blood (as have various other people) to make it the best thing of any kind ever in the history of everything, so have a look, type in your email address, and sit back and enjoy the wonderful new life that will be yours for the taking once you're one of the gang. GIMMESOAP.COM cures all known diseases. Tuesday, August 29, 2000Pirate Music With all the current hype about pirating music on the web, I thought I'd get in on the action. I thought I would do a piratical cover of Gina G's "Oo, Aah, Just A Little Bit" It's a huge improvement on the original- listen to it (it's only 69k, won't take long) If there's any particular tune including the word "aaaarrrrr" that you would like to hear a pirate version of, please send suggestions to ridiculouspirateversionsofperfectlygoodsongs@rathergood.com |
