Helloooo! And welcome to the 100th EVER update from rathergood! Isn't that amazing! It's like a golden jubilee, only doubled! It's like a GOLDEN SQUARED JUBILEE! WOW! Except that would be newsletter 2500 so it's not, but you know what I mean innit.

It's a pretty auspicious occasion so we've got an even-more-special-than-normal newsletter for you!

Firstly, we have written this wonderful song in praise of Ben Goldacre from Bad Science.
http://www.rathergood.com/ben

Ben is a champion of truth and justice, fighting pseudo-science and quackery for all our futures. He is also a thoroughly lovely man and we think he smells nice too.

Look! We've recorded you a special message to mark the 100th newsletter! Just for you!
http://www.rathergood.com/newsletter_100

Isn't that lovely! Although a bit painful too!

Now, we wondered what to do with this 100th newsletter, and we thought maybe we should have a bit of classic stuff to look at. I've got the Quiznos ads that we did featuring the Spongmonkeys, and remastered them in HD! Back when we did them, there wasn't really any way to get decent quality video up on the internet, but now there is! So here they are, in glorious High Definition!

Isn't it wonderful to finally have those up on the site! Hoorays!

I've dug out some more stuff from the old days and put it up on the site as well! Here's Feuer Frei by the mighty Rammstein, performed by kittens!
http://www.rathergood.com/rammstein

Here's 50 Cent's Guide To Kent! Here sure knows a lot about Kent, that 50 Cent!
http://www.rathergood.com/50cent

Here's Birds by the Butthole Surfers, performed by lambs!
http://www.rathergood.com/buttholesurfers

Here's They Glued Your Head On Upside Down by The Bellrays, performed by little bunnies!
http://www.rathergood.com/bellrays

Hoorays! Phew! Isn't that lot AMAZING! UTTERLY AMAZING!

If that wasn't enough to prove that today is a truly auspicious day, I just noticed that Richard Dawkins has tweeted our Science Is Interesting song. So hoorays for that as well!

Right, I think that's about it, except to tell you that I love you! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

I'd run 5000 miles for you! If my knees gave in before I'd finished running the 5000 miles, I'd pop in to a butcher's and I'd get some more knees from him and I'd get him to cut my knees out and put pig knees in! Then I'd just keep on running! I wouldn't replace my whole leg with a pig's leg though because it would be too delicious and I'd have trouble fighting the temptation to dry cure my leg and devour it.
I LOVE YOU! I hope you are having the happiest day of your entire life today!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Jacqui just asked Zak what he would like for tea.

"Vegetables" he decided. This was something of a surprise as he is normally reticent when it comes to the vegetable.

"Oh!" said mum. "What vegetables would you like?"

"Sausages"

Zak had already had 7 sausages for lunch, and definitely wants sausages for tea.

The conversation continued:

"But sausages are sausages, and vegetables are vegetables"

"They look like vegetables"

"What vegetables do they look like?"

Zak thought about this for a while and announced that they look like broccoli trees.

Hellooooooo! And welcome to the 99^th EVER update from rathergood!

We've got a real corker for you this week! Hooray! First of all, here's a lovely jaunty song from a panda who loves collecting poo in a bucket!

http://www.rathergood.com/bucket

Hoorays!

And look, we've got a bit of a departure from our normal style to bring you something of genuine beauty! Melancholic and wonderful, Small Worlds is a game by Sea Dave, which is just absolutely lovely:

http://www.rathergood.com/small_worlds

It really is a thing of great beauty and you should totally play it. It won the cgdc6 competition, which means Sea Dave is the most awesome person on the planet. It's about exploring, and it is pixely and sweet.

Also, we have a misheard lyric for you! Yays! Feel A Badger! J Majick & Wickaman give it maximum badger love. We may have added the badger. It's possible it isn't really supposed to be about badgers at all in fact. The genre for this tune is DnB - which stands for Drum and Badgers:

http://www.rathergood.com/badger

In other news, I've whacked the ads I did for Switch/Maestro with penguins up! They are ever so lovely. We've got Penguins in Paris:

http://www.rathergood.com/paris

Penguins in Venice:

http://www.rathergood.com/venice

and the penguins getting married!

http://www.rathergood.com/wedding

Hoorays!

I think that's about it, except to tell you how much I love you! I really love you ever so hard! I love you so hard I'd defend you with a special cannon that fires laser sharks! The laser sharks would be made from lasers! And the lasers from which they were made would be made of sharks! And those in turn would be made entirely from 100% lasers! It will be SO TOTALLY AWESOME!

The cannon will just be made of cannon though.

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs!

Yours sincerely

Hello! And welcome to the 98th EVER update from rathergood!

We have some amazing treats for you today! Oh yes! Look! We made a lovely song featuring Richard Dawkins and Science. Science Is Interesting! Look!

http://www.rathergood.com/science

YEAH!

And look! Here's My Delirium by Ladyhawke! WITH ROBOT KITTENS! WOW! WILL THE JOY NEVER CEASE?!?!?!

http://www.rathergood.com/ladyhawke

AMAZING eh what old bean?

Also, we've recorded this amazing love song! Here's a free mp3 for you! It's called You Are So Perfect and it is the best love song ever made

http://www.rathergood.com/music/you_are_so_perfect.mp3

I think that's it for this week, except to tell you that I love you.

I love you really hard! I'd do anything for you! I'd make a chair for you! A special chair for you to sit on! I'd carve your face into the chair, and also your name! Then I'd pull off loads of my skin in strips and use it to upholster the special chair! So every time you sat on the chair you'd be sitting on my skin! That way you'd always think about me, every time you sat on the chair!

Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs and big sloppy kisses!

Yours sincerely
