Would you like to look at my potato? YES YOU WOULD YOU LUCKY PERSON YOU! Hoorays!
Also, we joined Zak "Big Zed" Veitch in Hackney, East London, to see some of his extreme urban motocross skills. We caught a major wipeout on film when he tried to do an amazing stunt involving ramming a can, but Big Zed was unhurt and the extreme mayhem continued!
If you've done anything interesting with any of our songs or anything do email me to let me know, I love seeing this stuff.
I did a song at the Sickipedia night on Wednesday, but I haven't seen the video of it yet so unfortunately I haven't got anything to show you from that – I guess I may have next week maybe? We'll see.
Also I should take this opportunity to congratulate Andreas “Wanki” Wank on his second place in the ski jumping I was watching on telly the other day. Hooray for Wanki! He is my favourite of all the ski jumpers.
Anyway, I guess that's about it except to tell you that I love you! I love you so hard! I'd do anything for you! I'd take you to the dark side of Jupiter's moons! We'll get there by ULTRA SALAMI! It's just like normal salami but it travels through space! Normal salami is no fun to travel through space in. When we get there we can do covers of Will Smith's classic Fresh Prince pop tunes, but with more ham! We can perform BAM! Shake the Ham! Also we can do the Fresh Prince of Ham Air theme tune:
In West Philadelphia born and raised In the larder is where i spent most of my days Till i got sliced in to slices and eaten for tea Ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham
I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab wahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
It's a particularly appropriate place to do it because Jupiter's moons are massive pulsating balls of ham, floating through the void. Using their hammy brains they seek to hybridise with us humans, to form a new race, a race they shall call..... HAMANITY!
Anyway I'd totally do that for you because I love you that hard! I totally would if I had any ULTRA SALAMI anyway. Unfortunately I seem to have just run out of ULTRA SALAMI though, so we won't be able to do it just now. I've got some hyper salami, but that's no good for travelling through space. No good at all. Only a moron would try flying to the Ham Moons Of Jupiter in Hyper Salami. You want ULTRA SALAMI for that. Everyone knows that.
Mwah! Mwah! Extrasuperduperhugs and big sloppy kisses!
Your sincerely

The other main thing to tell you about this week is that I'm going to be speaking at ROFLCon, which is going to be totally the most fun thing ever in the history of everything! Have a look at the list of guests! I am SO looking forward to meeting all these guys:
I guess that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you! I love you so HARD! I'd do anything for you! I'd pull all of my body hair out by the roots! All the body hair, from all the bits of my body! I'd use that hair to stuff a little doll of myself for you! And you can sleep with the doll pressed up to your face, knowing that it is full of the hair from my most intimate places! LUCKY YOU! I'd totally do that for you! I'm out of unstuffed fabric Joel dolls at the moment I'm afraid so it might have to wait until I have some more in, but if I did have the doll I'd be stuffing it with bumhair for you RIGHT NOW!
Mwah mwah! Extrasuperduperhugs!
Yours sincerely

Helloooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 107th EVER newsletter from rathergood!
Well, the big news today is that we've got a new album out! YEAH! It's called Spongs In The Key Of Life, and it is the absolute pinnacle of human achievement! We've taken 34 delicious songs and put them together in an album and you can get it from Amazon or iTunes or whatever and it's BRILLIANT!
It will be on your friendly local Amazon if you're elsewhere. Or iTunes, or whatever. This album is download only – I'm not planning on doing physical CDs as it was a major pain in the neck doing CDs for Danger Is Dangerous. So there.
In other news I did a spot on Sky News last Friday, then stayed around to be on the panel for Technology Unplugged. I've whacked it up on youtube if you're interested- look!
I think that's about it for this week, except to tell you that I love you. I really do! I'd do anything for you! I'd make you my special custard as a treat! My special “custard” made from blood and tears and the stuff from inside my eyeballs which I have to suck out with a syringe! It really is horrible putting the needle into my eye because I can see it and stuff and then it really hurts sucking out the juice but the “custard” is SO GOOD YOU'LL LOVE IT!
I'D TOTALLY DO THAT FOR YOU!
I've run out of needles though so I can;t make it right now. But if I had the needles I would TOTALLY make it for you RIGHT NOW!
Mwah mwah extrasuperduperhugs I LOVE YOU OH GOD YOU SMELL LOVELY
Yours sincerely
