Who's on First.
This last couple of days I have been chuckling away to old Abbott and Costello skits on youtube. Especially the over used, but exceptionally good 'Whose on First?' repeated incesstantly during the Rain Man. I also enjoyed Bud teaches Lou craps, the old saw about a dollar a day for year (I pay you a dollar a day, but you only work 8 hours a day, ( Read more... ) -
Games, Games, Games....
The geek in me has been carefully recording each time I play a boardgame on boardgamegeek.com since November. I thought it might be interesting to see what I've played the most since the start of the year. It is, to me at least.

Lyrics
I've had a song lyric in my head for the last few days, and I ask you, the internet, to help me out. I -think- it's (soto voce) Crowded House ( Read more... ) -
50 words stories and one sentence lives.
I used to enjoy the challenge of writing a complete story in 50 words (with a maximum of 14 words as a title). It came from a challenge at school when I was around 13, and I liked the idea of shaving and minimalism, and being creative with a tightly defined set of rules.

The random thoughts of TheCesspit, aged 32.
- I really hate it when you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek. Especially when it's from eating a piece of bread of all things. I obviously lack the fine motor control necessary to eat.

Sweeney and Xenu
I've just seen John Sweeney's rant against the Scientology. Having seen his previous work, I'm not sure a doorstepping investigative journo was the greatest move against the Cult of Ron.

Things that annoy me part 33
a) Leaving your shower gel and shampoo in the hotel bathroom. I must go through millions of pounds of shampoo that way. Millions I tell you. This time I even remembered to loot the free bottles but left my own giant sized stuff I paid for.
b) On the one had you have the slightly subversive, but cutesy/funny lolcats, which is a sort of guilty ( Read more... ) -
You say Clamato, I say what the Swansea Bypass...
Clamato is a tasty blend of clam soup powder and tomato juice, often served straight up or mixed with Vodka to make Canada's national drink, the Bloody Cesar. The clam's turn a Mary into a Cesar, it seems. It's pleasant enough, especially with a bit chilli sauce added, stirred in with a stick of celery ( Read more... )
