Vodka, the Soviet Union, Propaganda, all brilliant stereotypes if you ask me. As if I needed more convincing then, I still have had my love furthered by englishrussia.com. Whilst I've hardly explored it in depth, it is essentially a gathering of weird contemporary Russian trends and goings on. What struck me in particular and prompted me to post was a thread of 'staged photographs' all adhering strictly to a theme. You can check the post here if the photo below makes you shoot milk out of your nose like it did to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;“A Cheating Wife: You need to make a photo of a man, “a lover”, hanging outside the real window. The &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;window&lt;/span&gt; should be not lower than a 3rd store of a multi-stored building. “A husband” should lean out from another &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;window&lt;/span&gt; with a gun, aiming at “the lover”. From yet another &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;window&lt;/span&gt; “the cheating wife” should look out in despair.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SfmboS58hVI/AAAAAAAAAHs/SoXR17cGkFE/s1600-h/d.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Steve Lamacq should be a national treasure and will be our generation's John Peel. Steve Martin was in The Man with 2 Brains and The Jerk, the other Steves weren't. However, he was also in two Pink Panther remakes and Cheaper By The Dozen, both other Steves weren't.

This time though, I have a photograph. Taken when the dressing was being changed while I was in hospital I cannot describe the feeling of looking down and seeing this. Its amazing to say the least. It should heal nicely into a round or football shaped scar about an inch or so wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure of my motives for posting it, except that I personally find it so fascinating and gross I wanted to share it. I guess. Also its the first thing I've ever deemed too low brow for this blog so I've hosted it elsewhere- In case you're a big girl and you don't want to see.&lt;br /&gt;Oh, one more thing, its not actually flesh eating bacteria, its the opening used for an operation and perfectly normal. I just thought it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;looked&lt;/span&gt; like flesh eating bacteria.

The new 2009 Renault &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Megane&lt;/span&gt; Coupe could be great, it could suck, honestly I couldn't care less. What bothers me is the way its being advertised. People have just stopped trying to be paid for new ideas, and why not when the same shit still flies. A new advert, sure! Whats a good advert for something? Is being cool still cool? OK, lets go with that. Sex is still selling and people still want to purchase happiness? Great! Lets rehash the same shit we always do this week, piss up against this wall for the next 3 weeks and bill for a month! Right on! Look at my big house and shiny family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the new advert for the 2009 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Megane&lt;/span&gt; Coupe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fYzpDMa8ceI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fYzpDMa8ceI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This laughable 'advert' cost many pennies and Renault probably paid up, pretending not to see the stifled laughter of the people taking the payment. Good news for Renault is I've made them a poster. It cost me nothing and they can have it for free. It gives exactly the same message to potential buyers but uses &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;subtlety&lt;/span&gt; different wording to get the message across.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SYYqMvfnUyI/AAAAAAAAAEs/4mEbWpldGT0/s1600-h/2009-renault-megane-coupeedit.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 417px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SYYqMvfnUyI/AAAAAAAAAEs/4mEbWpldGT0/s320/2009-renault-megane-coupeedit.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297968410043831074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No need to thank me, I know I've done you proud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-1120512319915371611?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/1120512319915371611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=1120512319915371611' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1120512319915371611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1120512319915371611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2009/02/in-advertising-kill-yourself-or-try.html' title='In advertising?

I can't, not at all, but I held off to avoid embarrassment so you're getting a slice of my still-unnamed music promotion feature whether you like it or not. Again, no theme here, just a cross section of the past few weeks' listening. Scrap that, there is a theme after all; I know little or nothing about all the acts featured here and I'm not in the mood to read so open your freaking ears!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nl3vGClF_hA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nl3vGClF_hA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Bleed American' was the first song I ever heard by Jimmy Eat World and I still swear that it's actually called 'Salt, Sweat, Sugar' maybe it's just a common misconception or somewhere along the way MTV stitched me up a treat.

I have to thank the glorious Rock Band 2 for introducing me to 'Bad Reputation' and now the whole album has been on heavy rotation all week. This my friends is pop-punk at it's finest, no fuss just some broad shouting her tits off about how nobody likes her over three repetitive chords.

The video is fucking awful but they did a pretty good job of the remix. What you have here is the original track with one of those homemade still videos that allow people to share music on youtube. It sucks but it allows me to put the music up so I'm happy. If anyone knows of a way just to put music in here, I'm all ears (heh) but seriously, help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DmE57YE3pSc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DmE57YE3pSc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard 'Well thought out twinkles' a while ago when it scored a trailer for Tony Hawk's Project 8 game. It knocked me out and I instantly got into Silversun pickups' album Carnavas. It's full of lush guitars, sweet melodies and lots n' lots of layers. Like a tall cake oozing with syrup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p5NJ5pW08Ew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/p5NJ5pW08Ew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can I say nigga? The reason I ask is because I really wanted to show you all this Plastic Little video for 'All y'all niggaz dead'. I've yet to cream over Spank Rock on here, but hopefully when another album finally comes out I'll have the chance to. I got into Plastic Little through Spank Rock and it's easy to see why they get along so well. Both make abrasive and frankly odd sounding Hip Hop, the kind that makes me go nuts just like some of Black Flag's finest. If a record can make me feel like jumping on a car roof and acting like a fucktard then it's a winner. Plastic Little's 'Foil' does that to me but this one has the better video. Sometimes it's hard to work out whether they actually get anything done beyond taking the piss out of Hip Hop cliches but look beyond the facade and you'll get some fantastic bass-heavy-as-hell production and frankly insane lyrics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Faux Bot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-406290364316806909?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/406290364316806909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=406290364316806909' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/406290364316806909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/406290364316806909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2009/01/tough-act-to-follow.html' title='Tough act to follow.'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-7377999217803525781</id><published>2009-01-06T01:43:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-01-06T01:48:19.849Z</updated><title type='text'>On the twelfth day of Metal Christmas</title><content type='html'>...&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;therightbullets&lt;/span&gt;

Really all the credit goes to the Faux Bot for this one, turned me onto this band a little while ago and what a good pick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The band sound really heavy and lets be honest that's what everyone wants, no one goes looking for a metal band to put on while they drink afternoon tea with the queen (?). Another thing this band definitely has going for it is beards. Wall to wall beards, a great prerequisite for a kick ass and watchable band. But that's it. Just heavy &amp; beards. It's enough, who says it isn't?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Where Strides The Behemoth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the first time I'm going to sell this band without even showing the song.

The clip is from 1978 which raises questions about the validity of some of my previous comments in which I may have claimed that all instruments were invented in 1981. In an attempt to once again cover my outrageous statements I believe I can explain everything with another little known revelation; I have it on good authority that Nugent is a time traveler from the future. So yeah, there you have that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here Nugent is hosting some show or another where he gets to open the show with Cat Scratch Fever, I bet the other bands all loved following that, I'm not saying they couldn't though- just check out that line-up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Cat Scratch Fever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cUtYP52Ijvc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cUtYP52Ijvc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well I don't know where they come from&lt;br /&gt;But they sure do come&lt;br /&gt;I hope they comin' for me&lt;br /&gt;And I don't know how they do it&lt;br /&gt;But they sure do it good&lt;br /&gt;I hope they doin' it for free"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-8968264723857350413?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/8968264723857350413/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=8968264723857350413' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/8968264723857350413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/8968264723857350413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-tenth-day-of-metal-christmas.html' title='On the tenth day of Metal Christmas'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-5771612462904374766</id><published>2009-01-02T17:03:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-01-02T17:33:00.459Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the four horsemen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metallica'/><title type='text'>On the nineth day of Metal Christmas</title><content type='html'>...&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;therightbullets&lt;/span&gt; gave to me: Metallica. An inevitable choice but a difficult one to write because they are so fucking massive ^_^. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They did invent heavy metal though, before they came along in 1981 it was just barber shop quartet and chanting. Also If memory serves me they invented instruments too. There were no instruments as we know them before Metallica, then '81 rolled around and BAM. Seriously though, I have frequent dreams where Hetfield and Ulrich chase down and beat the living daylights out of Bono.

Before some clever dick points out that today is the 31st and the 7th day of Christmas, I know, and I'm playing catchup. Alright punk &gt;.&lt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sword are one of the best bands around and their quick progress up the metal ladder is testament to this. With only 2 albums they are definitely the youngest lot in this little feature, but boy do they play good. Their first album was so fucking amazing that the second album was bound to be a slight let down. Nevertheless its still an excellent album and as solid as they come. This band can do no wrong at present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also did I mention the lyrics? Yeeeehaaaaa. Winters Wolves off the first album may have the best words to any song ever- go look them up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;How Heavy This Axe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/of6ZHczcWTM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/of6ZHczcWTM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So many men have fallen&lt;br /&gt;So many more must die&lt;br /&gt;Cut down like wheat beneath a scythe&lt;br /&gt;And through our limbs may be weary&lt;br /&gt;of ripping, slashing, cleaving blows&lt;br /&gt;We face an endless host of foes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How heavy this axe&lt;br /&gt;Burden carried from birth&lt;br /&gt;Wrought in Stygian visions&lt;br /&gt;By the gods of the earth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon the hallowed mountain&lt;br /&gt;The gods convene&lt;br /&gt;To mourn the death of our ancient queen&lt;br /&gt;Keepers of sacred fire&lt;br /&gt;Awaken from your sleep&lt;br /&gt;Drink from the cup of memory"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-5924405753459469248?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/5924405753459469248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=5924405753459469248' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/5924405753459469248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/5924405753459469248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-sixth-day-of-metal-christmas.html' title='On the sixth day of Metal Christmas'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-500208249617060556</id><published>2008-12-29T17:53:00.003Z</published><updated>2008-12-29T18:25:00.187Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='iron maiden kick ass'/><title type='text'>On the fifth day of Metal Christmas</title><content type='html'>...&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;therightbullets&lt;/span&gt; gave to me... Iron Maiiiiiden. I could say nothing more meaningful about Maiden than the last user comment on the youtube page I took todays video from! "My favorite band... I'm 52 and still they rock me like they have for years"- freza57. Fucking right on, man. I'm not even going to question why your profile lists you as 18years young, I'm choosing to believe your old man used your profile to post.&lt;br /&gt;Leaving that potential quagmire behind I urge everyone to check out as many live Maiden videos as they can, their fans are crazy and the atmosphere just wouldn't work without them. Watching large gigs with thousands of fans who know every word to every song and never stop headbanging its easy to get caught up in the fever, and thats what I encourage you to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Fear Of The Dark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBnXoqvcAZQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBnXoqvcAZQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Have you ever been alone at night&lt;br /&gt;Thought you heard footsteps behind&lt;br /&gt;And turned around and no ones there?&lt;br /&gt;And as you quicken up your pace&lt;br /&gt;You find it hard to look again&lt;br /&gt;Because youre sure theres someone there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching horror films the night before&lt;br /&gt;Debating wiches and folklore&lt;br /&gt;The unkown troubles on your mind&lt;br /&gt;Maybe your mind is playing tricks&lt;br /&gt;You sense and suddenly eyes fix&lt;br /&gt;On dancing shadows from behind"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-500208249617060556?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/500208249617060556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=500208249617060556' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/500208249617060556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/500208249617060556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/12/on-fifth-day-of-metal-christmas.html' title='On the fifth day of Metal Christmas'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-5367934292964978570</id><published>2008-12-28T20:27:00.003Z</published><updated>2008-12-29T17:52:55.944Z</updated><title type='text'>On the fourth day of Metal Christmas</title><content type='html'>...&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;therightbullets&lt;/span&gt; gave to me: Pantera.

Dio and the band toured this year on the 'Metal Masters' tour with Judas Priest and Motorhead.

I should have seen this band play a few years back but the tour was canceled because he overdosed.

As the holiday period really goes into overdrive, adverts take on a festive theme, people start giving each other bits of cardboard and the music industry tries to bastardize more classic songs by giving them to new artists who sing them, well, wrong (you know who you are). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows the best part of Christmas is the gifts &amp; food, but unfortunately the excitement diminishes year after year and I think I've figured out why this is. There seems to be a scheduling error in December resulting in the new year coming along right after Christmas Day- really, it's less than a week after! Whoever thought following the best day of the year with what is easily the most depressing, gun-in-mouth terrible day of any year was not thinking straight. How can any adult enjoy Christmas as much knowing what fast approaches? Every year, convincing themselves 'this year will be better', refusing to acknowledge that every year for the last 5 years has been worse than the one before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than just piss all over something as I usually do, I'd like to suggest a solution! I vote we change the date of Christmas to sometime in early January, and use December 25th for nothing but somber religious ceremonies. This way, December 25th can regain its religious significance and NewYearsEve will eventually stop being so terribly mind numbing and reflective as everyone will be looking forward to Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This could work, it just needs support. That's you, readers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-1514191682606995089?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/1514191682606995089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=1514191682606995089' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1514191682606995089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1514191682606995089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-2008.html' title='Christmas 2008.'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-1426099314384695969</id><published>2008-12-09T21:28:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-12-09T21:35:49.228Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jamie-Lynn Sigler is a goddess'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saturday Night Live'/><title type='text'>J in my P's</title><content type='html'>Saturday Night Live is a weird one isn't it? I'd have no idea what the fuck it was if it wasn't for Youtube and Imported sitcoms. Still, with gems like this emerging from the show, it's no wonder that viral videos have made it an internationally recognised name. I won't spoil the punchline, just watch and hopefully piss yourself as much as I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also notice the cameos from Justin Timberlake and more importantly, Jamie-Lynn Sigler a.k.a Meadow Soprano. I swear she gets hotter by the day. She gave my a boner the entire time The Sopranos ran for, that's some sort of achievement right? Perhaps she'd like to hear about it!

Being as this feature itself is incredibly soulless, I thought I'd better ponder the title for a bit longer. Whatever it gets called, here is the first of many posts with which I regale you with tales of how wondrous the shuffle function on my MP3 player is and what gems it has pulled up lately. So, In the famous words of Jesse: This week, I have been mainly listening to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZc85y4U5ww&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tZc85y4U5ww&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say what you will about Mr. West. Go on. I do, rather loudly, and on a regular basis. He's an egotistical wanker who seems to think that the constant dropping of the term 'sonic art' and name-checking of Damien Hirst, somehow qualifies him as a 'true' artist. God knows what that even means, but he seems pre-occupied with it. Kanye was and still is, better than your average rapper and whilst I'd love to say that his new foray into synth-pop was a failure, it clearly isn't. The album as a whole is heartfelt and genuine and he manages to retain a fine layer of masculinity throughout, his over-use of the auto-tune making him seem robotic and disconnected from his outpouring of emotion. He's a smart guy and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Paranoid&lt;/span&gt; is the stand-out track from 808's and Heartbreaks. No proper video, sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-EEPvXlTUnU&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-EEPvXlTUnU&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;What Do I Get?&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;has pretty much always been my favourite Buzzcocks song. I first heard it on the Ghost World soundtrack and have loved it ever since. It's one of many perfect examples of poppy British Punk. They should put this in a time capsule just so they can see what we were capable of. I wish I had found this when I was 14. *sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UPTkEKr-X9c&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UPTkEKr-X9c&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's no secret that I love DEVO. The idea, the band, the image. They are the most infinitely interesting band to me. I remember when I discovered that Mark Mothersbaugh did the music for Rugrats. I nearly shit myself when it dawned on me that their unique sound had been with me my entire life, when I heard Devo for real, it was like part of my subconscious was re-awakened. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Be Stiff!&lt;/span&gt; Well, go on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrCfNhN2GFA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrCfNhN2GFA&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What?! Who the fuck are The Coool Kids!? C'mon gramps. You got your finger up your ass and not on the pulse! Sorry. These kids are hipper than the name suggests and awesome with it. The bass makes my skull rattle on early morning bus rides, combined with my nuka-coffee to make the ultimate wake up mix. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm Mikey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it for now. Sorry for some of the shit videos. But alot of these weren't singles. Just enjoy the music and stay tuned for more coherent future posts with what's sure to be an awesome title.

To be fair though, if you believe Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People, then they were being stacked up against Joy Division. Hardly fair really.

Very few get it right, but to finish off, I thought a bit of a wild card was in order. Something more contemporary and one of the few current bands to get it right, !!!

Is it the fucking awesome custom Family Guy Painting by Kaws? Or is it the tears behind his eyes as he further tries to define himself through his possessions? Probably the painting, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I've been aware of it, I've always been fascinated by postmodernism, particularly the movement's fascination with recontextualising icons and existing facets of popular culture. In layman's terms; I always felt that all the good ideas had already been done and I admired postmodernism's honesty, admitting to reworking past ideas to try and makes something at least half-new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaws is easily my favourite contemporary artist, for many reasons. He paints with bold block colour, has a Graffiti background and could be considered as the very embodiment of this sort of postmodernism. His trademark crossed eyes have reworked icons as distinctive as The Simpsons and Mickey Mouse, and more recently helped to cement Spongebob Squarepants' rightful place in pop culture history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Family Guy painting as modelled by Mr. P has struck a particularlarly negative chord with me though. I refuse to believe that Family Guy and its characters can be considered to be truly iconic, after all, the last 3 series' were utter shit and have no long-standing place in pop culture and more importantly, how can a show that is a collage of The Honeymooners, The Simpsons and The Flintstones be reworked when so few of its elements are its own?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Kaws identifies with Family Guy because they both rely on recontextualising the past in order to make something new. Maybe Kaws is commenting upon his own character with this painting, in which case, it is the best thing he has ever done. Fascinating how I have these debates with myself, isn't it? God, someone please talk to me about this. What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to believe that Kaws truly understands Family Guy and is using it to reflect upon himself, but I still have the underlying feeling that Pharrell gave him $50,000 just to 'do the Griffins'. Whichever way, I feel better for sounding off. Please excuse the erratic nature of my writing and just enjoy some of Kaws' finer works:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAQAnWlVI/AAAAAAAAAD8/sqPlR5gwiUo/s1600-h/kaws-spongebob-square-pants.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAQAnWlVI/AAAAAAAAAD8/sqPlR5gwiUo/s400/kaws-spongebob-square-pants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262315702137034066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAQPFKPTI/AAAAAAAAAD0/b_trlUfzTVw/s1600-h/kaws-lowdown-001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAQPFKPTI/AAAAAAAAAD0/b_trlUfzTVw/s400/kaws-lowdown-001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262315706020150578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAP7j9bDI/AAAAAAAAADs/02XtYsJ_TG8/s1600-h/KAWS_m_Comp99.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SQeAP7j9bDI/AAAAAAAAADs/02XtYsJ_TG8/s400/KAWS_m_Comp99.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262315700780624946" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that despite my negative tone, I thought that the last N*E*R*D album was amazing, it's just that the Neptunes' production has gone a little off the boil lately, and Pharrell seems far too concerned with 'owning shit' like most rap wankers.

You'd have to be pretty self obsessed and insular to not have wondered what was really out there in the infinite space around our spec of a rock. Unfortunately I'm sure there are a few exceptions to the sweeping statement I made as the first sentence. The kind of person who if told alien technology had been utilized by our government to further the progress of mankind to such incredible levels that the entire earth could be one perfect utopia by the end of the week, would shrug and turn back to watch their 7th straight hour of Big Brother 23. I choose not to include these people whenever I write, as I'm sure even if they could read they couldn't operate a computer well enough to navigate here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the point. When I find myself with little to do in the next few weeks I'm going to go here &lt;a href="http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk/"&gt;http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk/&lt;/a&gt;. Files on UFOs released by the UK government under the freedom of information act. Sure they'll be full of crackpot rubbish and poor quality sketches, plus we all know if there was anything interesting ever in these files the government would have hidden them years ago, right? However this isn't going to stop me having a look, because like all men (I assume) I want to be Fox Mulder, and unless my life takes a change of direction any time soon this is as close as I'm getting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-2342099526789399452?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/2342099526789399452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=2342099526789399452' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/2342099526789399452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/2342099526789399452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/10/truth-is-out-there.html' title='The truth is out there.'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-9173674093283239906</id><published>2008-10-21T18:11:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T18:34:49.659+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='and Generation X thought they had it tough'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='financial crisis? what financial crisis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bad karma'/><title type='text'>If you can't kill them, mock them</title><content type='html'>Every day I make a conscious effort to filter out any sort of mainstream press. I'm not trying to be 'oh-so counter culture', I just feel that most news outlets have very specific agendas that I find either personally offensive or damaging to society. However, I am often subjugated to the BBC's 'Breakfast' show so I am well aware that there is a 'Worldwide Financial Crisis' and my girlfriend drives so I also know that petrol prices are extortionately high right now. Essentially, I cannot afford to participate with the rest of the world right now. The things that I am told that I need in order to become a regular member of society (car, house, debt) are all so far out of my grasp that I have simply stopped trying.  With that said, it should now be clear that I am just the sort of loser that finds market crashes, banks going bust and global meltdown absolutely hilarious. It's the equivalent of not being allowed in some bigger kid's tree house and then pissing yourself as it burns down after being hit by lightning. No money, no problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may wonder what set off this little rant and I am more than happy to satisfy your curiosity. May I present to you &lt;a href="http://brokershandsontheirfacesblog.tumblr.com/"&gt;The Blog of Brokers with their hands on their faces.&lt;/a&gt; The lighter side of financial crisis. I just love to think about their lives going down the pan. If it wasn't an industry solely motivated by greed, then I wouldn't be bypassing my normally sympathetic manor. Thing is, I just love to see people get their comeuppance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SP4R3hWlN5I/AAAAAAAAACc/sbXnUBy1uF0/s1600-h/brokers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SP4R3hWlN5I/AAAAAAAAACc/sbXnUBy1uF0/s400/brokers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259661060358879122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Faux Bot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-9173674093283239906?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/9173674093283239906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=9173674093283239906' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/9173674093283239906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/9173674093283239906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/10/if-you-cant-kill-them-mock-them.html' title='If you can&apos;t kill them, mock them'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SP4R3hWlN5I/AAAAAAAAACc/sbXnUBy1uF0/s72-c/brokers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-7616607665479579702</id><published>2008-10-19T14:25:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-19T14:42:48.535+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='childhood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='arrested development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sloppy slobs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='retro-nostalgia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='regret'/><title type='text'>A Message to The Kids: Keep Everything</title><content type='html'>I've recently been whiling many an hour away over at our mate's blog: http://irkininvadersbagoffunkyshit.blogspot.com/ and if there's one thing I've learned from it, then it's that, culturally, I had an amazing childhood. After reminding about Madballs, he willingly fulfilled my request for a Boglins post and I have no doubt that My Pet Monster or Monsters In My Pocket will soon follow. What I've realised is that I owned most of these awesome toys and now they are nowhere to be found. Who is to blame? THE PARENTS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents will just throw that stuff right out, there's simply not enough room for your monster collection, your bargain-basement Macross and your original Millennium Falcon. Now, I can hardly say that I "suffered" from ADHD as a child, more "reveled" in it, but my parents swear blind that they'd have had me locked down on Ritalin and would be reaping plenty of government grants if they had got me diagnosed. My destructive behaviour and 2 minute attention span means that I no longer have any of those cool toys and this breaks my heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge you, keep all your cool stuff, even if you don't quite appreciate it right now, because a close friend of yours may start writing a blog, reminding you of it all and all you'll have is your own regretful tears. Make your parents listen to my tale of woe and they'll find some extra room for you.

Imagine a white palace where all the guards wear white hats and all the surfaces, be they floors or counter tops, sparkle and glimmer like pure polished granite. I have been there many times with friends, all sharing in the late night snacking fit for the good lord himself. Thinking about it, I'm sure if the lord ever did want a burger he would not hesitate to boldly walk up to the counter and order a 'number 6'. But I digress.&lt;br /&gt;Tonight friends, I am saddened. It has been many months since I have had a clinical burger and the desire is manifesting itself once again. Yet I am far removed from the white palace and I know not when I return.

Its boring, and to read it I'd need a grey suit and a desk with files on it. Maybe its not that bad, but my only experience means I'm never going back. Allow me to demonstrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;"Earlier this year, Jem Stone &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/04/bbc_joins_openid_foundation.html"&gt;blogged&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; that the BBC had joined the OpenID Foundation. And a week ago, the BBC hosted a meeting of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://openid.net/foundation/"&gt;OpenID Foundation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Content Provider Advisory Committee in New York.

Snooze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, being the helpful sort of chap that for all you know I am, I have an idea to make this kind of material more palatable: comical or fun pictures.&lt;br /&gt;I could see on the news that the French have created a doomsday device, so long as they reported it with a picture of a cat in a hat, or a clown getting hit by a pie.

Usually I just get annoyed that others everywhere aren't subconsciously doing my bidding, but last night was different. Maybe I had more free time than usual, or maybe I lost my XBOX pad and had to entertain myself the good old fashioned way (with the internet), but I decided to do it myself. It turns out editing out clips and putting them back together from existing episodes that others have spent hours carefully making is a short and easy process if you do it half-arsed. Which I did. So enjoy this classic Randy Marsh moment.

Initially disappointed that I would ever have anything in common with that 'band' I was dealt a further kick to the balls with the realisation that the artwork for the album cover was done by Luke Chueh- a favored artist of mine.

They call them existentialists, and they will be first against the wall when I come to power. Sweeping generalisations aside, it seems that there really are some people who have a purpose beyond their own existence. Take Kip "Kipkay" Kedersha, for example. He is some sort of man-genius who has worked out how to hack, modify and improve just about everything you thought needed improving (except for the quality of my writing). Ever wanted a pair of home-made infrared goggles, or wanted to know how to "superchill" a canned beverage in 2 minutes?

Possibly one of the odder fetishes (if that is the right term here) I've come across is the world of the Real Doll- the "world's finest love doll". I can't really do the topic justice in this short time so just check it out for yourself, delve deeper at your own peril. Enjoy the different models including the limb-less torso and explore the ways in which you can get your Real Doll repaired if you've become a little 'over enthusiastic' and broken it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.realdoll.com/"&gt;http://www.realdoll.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to add a picture but couldn't bring myself to lower the blog even more than I did with the sexy nun picture.

For example, today's trawl turned up this gem from our own BBC: "Australia suffering man drought". Who cares? Stop the press, there are 100,000 more women than men in Oz. Turns out men in their 20s and 30s are going elsewhere to work- if I was brought up in Australia with half a brain I'd probably leave as soon as I could work or afford a flight off the rock too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7589382.stm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7589382.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just cannot fathom who this news is interesting to. "Hey kids, hey ma, come check this out! This article just told me Australia has more women than men! Maybe cousin Jack who's 36 and never had a girlfriend can go there and get lucky!" An interesting footnote to that little story is that Ma wasn't listening because she had her head in the fucking oven knowing that once again her husband was overly interested in a piece of shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-4353450267812891375?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/4353450267812891375/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=4353450267812891375' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/4353450267812891375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/4353450267812891375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-is-this-news.html' title='Why is this news?'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-7599197716194169638</id><published>2008-08-28T17:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T17:36:49.988+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrabble'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hasbro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrabulous'/><title type='text'>'Morons' - for 8 points</title><content type='html'>Hasbro are suing a couple of Indian game creators, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Rajat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Agarwalla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Jayant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Agarwalla&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for infringing on the property rights of Scrabble, with their game '&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Scrabulous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'.

Usually I'd be all for the little guy or the underdog... but not this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? These guys &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;didn't&lt;/span&gt; even fucking try!

Those lazy bastards, they barely changed the name or any of the rules and had the same points-per-tile as Scrabble, really taking the piss.

Instead of celebrating the social and charitable achievements of the Sisters of Italy with a friendly event that has mild worldwide interest, we are told once again that Nuns are boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKLQ28531620080826?feedType=RSS&amp;amp;feedName=oddlyEnoughNews"&gt;http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKLQ28531620080826?feedType=RSS&amp;amp;feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-8696295279600252281?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/8696295279600252281/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=8696295279600252281' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/8696295279600252281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/8696295279600252281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/08/hand-that-giveth-also-taketh-away.html' title='The hand that giveth also taketh away...'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-1226949637549437878</id><published>2008-08-26T02:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T17:39:12.047+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot Cross Nuns</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SLNdg9HaimI/AAAAAAAAAAM/eluRhLSbnBs/s1600-h/nuns.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SLNdg9HaimI/AAAAAAAAAAM/eluRhLSbnBs/s320/nuns.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238633612304878178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Something we can all enjoy starts in September when Antonio Rungi, an Italian Priest, begins his search for the best looking Italian Nuns. He wishes to hold the worlds first beauty pageant for the religious lovelies, trying to dispel stereotypes of Nuns as 'stunted and sad'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rungi suggests it is the choice of the entrants whether they pose veiled or unveiled, which still seems a little reserved if the Nuns-gone-wild series is based on any truth at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7581039.stm"&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7581039.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Justtherightbullets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1806772359111383082-1226949637549437878?l=folieadeux00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/feeds/1226949637549437878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1806772359111383082&amp;postID=1226949637549437878' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1226949637549437878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1806772359111383082/posts/default/1226949637549437878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://folieadeux00.blogspot.com/2008/08/hot-cross-nuns.html' title='Hot Cross Nuns'/><author><name>Folie A Deux</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14893185794353196344</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/Sfd82bvSYNI/AAAAAAAAAHM/IjNfvwnQBqE/S220/060714-hands-on-phantom-hourglass-01.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kwxZrQ4E79A/SLNdg9HaimI/AAAAAAAAAAM/eluRhLSbnBs/s72-c/nuns.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806772359111383082.post-8554336787917933508</id><published>2008-08-24T22:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T17:39:27.883+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Way to spoil it.</title><content type='html'>First up I'd like to start by insulting the owners of http://folieadeux.blogspot.com/ and http://folie-a-deux.blogspot.com/ who have 4 posts between them in total and last posted in November 2000 and September 2004 respectively.
