Scissor Quizzer

Mr Welsh Idiot of (presumably) Wales asked the guru:

Can you tell me how to make reverse-scissors, that kind of stick things back together, and make hair longer?

Dear Mr Idiot

Unfortunately that is not possible in the northern hemisphere without resorting to the spreading of superglue on the blades of the scissors and then using them. This will work, but only for a short period of time.

The best way to achieve a genuine reverse-scissor is to go to Australia. Scissors work backwards in Australia due to the coriolis effect. This is the same principle which is responsible for your watch running backwards and the counter-clockwise curl of pigs' tails in the land of Crocodile Dundee.

I hope this information is of assistance to you.

The Guru

More Guruage

Mr Tom Burt of an inderterminate location in the UK sent the guru the following query:

Dear Guru,

I have a question that has been troubling me for some time. I'm a fairly slim male of the species and I was wondering - if I was a woman, would I have nice breasts? I'm worried I might be a bit flat chested.

Cheers,
Tom.

Dear Mr Burt

If you were a woman you would have lovely full breasts. Lovely full orbs of womanhood. Wonderous pneumatic buoyant full-aureoled globes of pleasure. Silk-smooth, softly yielding, sensuous joy-jugs that would keep you infront of a mirror softly caressing them for weeks on end.

I hope that this answers your question

Regards

The Guru

As ever, if you have a query regarding anything whatsoever, send it to guru@rathergood.com or have a look at previous guruage at www.rathergood.com/guru.html

Pyramid Velcro Ball

I've been working on a new game. It's called "pyramid velcro ball"

Basically the court is a very large pyramid with a goal in each corner and four teams. The base of the pyramid is a huge trampoline and the sides are covered in velcro, as are the players. Basically there are no rules except to get the ball in the other teams nets by any means necessary.

During the day, the pitch could be converted into classrooms and used as a school.

Also, the whole thing would be designed to be transportable by zeppellin.

And it would of course have the advantage of channelling positive cosmic energy as well, being a pyramid.

Players will get weapons- spiky balls on sticks and possibly some kind of spinny roundy burny bladey thing.

I would expect it to be televised, with Dale Winton presenting. We could milk the dale winton connection by having groceries available for the players to pick up for bonus points.
Scoring system could be:

1 point for canned veg
2 points for frozen goods
3 points for fresh chicken
4 points for maiming an opposing player
5 points for a fatality
10 points for a goal.

Dale could sit with the spiky top of the pyramid up his bum, giving ongoing commentary:

"And, yes, HE'S GOT THE FROZEN MIXED VEGETABLES!! FANTASTIC PLAY!! OH, WATCH OUT, YESS!! A LOVELY MOVE WITH THE ROTARY SAW THERE, THAT'S 4 POINTS FOR
REMOVING THE LEG"

Would you like to televise this sport, or invest in setting up a league? If so, please contact me at pyramidvelcroballisthefuturefortheentertainmentofhumanityandiwanttobeapartoftherevolution@rathergood.com

TV Gameshow Concepts

Phat Mess of England has sent me this suggestion for a TV gameshow:

Family Endgame.

A family have to survive 7 days in a special sealed box whilst tasks are sent to them.

Day 1
On arrival in the box, the lights are turned out and the sound of dying crows is pumped in.

Day 2
The mother and father are forced to copulate in front of the children, for each position they acheive the more food and drink the family gets.

Day 3
The mother is shot.

Day 4
The father has a cow's head glued to his head and the corpse of the mother is dropped in from the ceiling but wearing clown make up.

Day 5
A drunk pig is sent into the room

Day 6
The room slowly rotates whilst being filled with forks.

Day 7
The family have to do an obstacle course, if they do they win a car, or something.

Dunno if there is much mileage in that.

Lisa Rogers could host?

I think this is a fantastic idea. If you are a TV programming executive who wants to take on the format, or a venture capitalist who would like to invest large sums of money in making this entertainment dream a reality, please contact me at iwanttoscreenthiskindofpsychologicalterrorismtothegeneralpopulacebecauseiknowtheywantblood@rathergood.com

Depletion Conundrum

There's been a lot of worry over the dangers of depleted uranium lately.

One thing that's been worrying me is if depleted uraniums are killing people, what's happening with the depleted fisheries I keep hearing about?

There's no labling on my fish to say whether it's depleted or not! How many of us are going to die?

Well, it seems that the situation is not as bad as it seems. I am reliably informed by Mr Price of Maidstone that what is being referred to is infact depleted fish stocks. These are apparently the stocks used by fishermen to firmly grip fish to the shoulder.

Clearly, when you finally get the finished fish, there is no stock on it, and hence it is perfectly safe for consumption.

Never eat a fish with a depleted uranium stock still on it.

If you have any further information on the safety or otherwise of the use of depleted uranium fish stocks, please send it to iknowallaboutdepleteduraniumfishandthisisthelowdown@rathergood.com

Soup

My favourite soup is chicken broth. I have been considering starting an internet soup opera called gimmesoup.com or similar. I think some chicken broth would be the star, but there would also obviously be room for other soups, such as oxtail or mulligatorny. It's guaranteed to be bigger than Dynasty.

Would you be interested in investing in my soup opera? Do you have any ideas for plots or opinions on which soups should be the nasty characters?

Send cash or soup to soupsarebetterthanpeoplewhenitcomestopopularentertainmentsoherearemylifesavingsforyourproject@rathergood.com
