Reading about Debbie's super-wine addiction reminded me that people may not have come across NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com, which documents Nicey and Wifey's forays into new and exciting biscuits and cake. The site's mission statement is: "Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely." How can you argue with that?
Which also reminds me of When Biscuits Go Wrong... which leads back to the NiceCupOfTea site, since they review custard creams there.

Someone at work pointed at Catball and Clown Girl. Summary? Catball is a cat with no feet and is filled with rage and hate. Clown Girl is his happy, happy assistant. The cartoons appear to be done on whatever scrap paper is lying around - I've seen a paper plate, the inside of a cardboard carton, and a photo receipt. There's not many cartoons there, so it was easy to read it all.

Imagine the beginning of the tune of "Nick-Nack Paddywack" (involving "this old man"), if you would - I know it has more recently appropriated by a purple dinosaur for his closing tune, but we'll pass over that travesty for the moment - and then imagine, from out of the blue, a frustrated sysadmin carolling to our errant tape-robot, "I hate you, you suck ass, why don't you sod off and DIE!". Well, the last word was less sung than shouted, but nevertheless, it was surprisingly tuneful.
I suspect locking six geeky males in a room for ten hours a day makes for a strange social dynamic. :)

Some of the things that have made me frustratingly busy have been at least partially resolved, and at least one of the problems I'll be able to fix tonight. Hooray! My only problem now is to reduce the pile of problems that weren't super-urgent to a managable level; and that involves being able to concentrate on them for long enough that I can fit all the relevant bits in my head, and solve them.
All in all, things are pretty good. Of course, now I have to go walk home in the freezing cold. Brr. :(
Posted by svend at May 25, 2005 4:18 PMRandomly, my day yesterday involved a silly conversation about Arnotts' Nice biscuits.
"Would you like a nice biscuit?"
"Oh, that'd be nice."
"Yeah, they're quite nice. Are they Nice buiscuits?"
"Of course they're nice! You just said so!"
"No, it's very nice. I meant, is it a "Nice" nice biscuit, or just a nice buscuit?"
... and so on.
Also friends of mine bought a new red 4WD nicknamed 'Flick', which spawned random karaoke of the Flick The Little Fire Engine song.
*loves the I hate you song*
I can sing it when I've run out of Tori's "Assholes are cheap today" song, which is only four lines long.
