Meat Sports.

Strange videos appear online all the time but this is the weirdest one I've come across recently. Things are almost never completely pointless, created for some purpose or whim, but I'm struggling to find the motivation for this one. Or perhaps the motivation is so obvious I've overlooked it until now- men like women in bikinis and meat products. Weave them together and what you get is, well, see below.

Meat sports to be an Olympic event by 2020? Who knows, maybe someone will start a petition? Maybe I will. Maybe I have.

The majesty of the Clinical Burger.

There is a place in a city not far from here, where taste meets enjoyment. 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.
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. Let us all hope and prey that I feed the beast before too much time passes and blood is not this time spilled.

Joe Kinnear rant

Possibly the best first interview by anyone ever. Way to come out fighting. Its been suggested Kinnear did this purposely to try and take some of the pressure off the Newcastle United players feeling the heat at the struggling club. Whatever his motives it makes great reading.

This is only the beginning of the interview, see link for full transcript.

"The following is an edited transcript of Newcastle interim manager Joe Kinnear's first official press conference yesterday

JK Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]?

SB Me.

JK You're a cunt.

SB Thank you.

JK Which one is Hickman [Niall, football writer for the Express]? You are out of order. Absolutely fucking out of order. If you do it again, I am telling you you can fuck off and go to another ground. I will not come and stand for that fucking crap. No fucking way, lies. Fuck, you're saying I turned up and they [Newcastle's players] fucked off.

SB No Joe, have you read it, it doesn't actually say that. Have you read it?

JK I've fucking read it, I've read it.

SB It doesn't say that. Have you read it?

JK You are trying to fucking undermine my position already.

SB Have you read it, it doesn't say that. I knew you knew they were having a day off.

JK Fuck off. Fuck off. It's your last fucking chance.

SB You read the copy? It doesn't say that you didn't know.

JK What about the headline, you think that's a good headline?

SB I didn't write the headline, you read the copy.

JK You are negative bastards, the pair of you"

I'm bored. Now I'm more bored.

Please people, don't try and fill your time reading the BBCs Internet Blog. 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.

"Earlier this year, Jem Stone blogged that the BBC had joined the OpenID Foundation. And a week ago, the BBC hosted a meeting of the OpenID Foundation Content Provider Advisory Committee in New York. I was there, among the BBC people and participants from major media companies. This was the first time we gathered a wide participation of companies interested in the possibilities of OpenID."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/10/openid_foundation_meeting_what.html

There is more, and they go on to explain what OpenID is etc etc, but honestly I can't see most people getting beyond "Content Provider Advisory Committee". Snooze.

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.
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. Try reading the same section of that article again (below) that has my subtle changes made to it...

I think the results speak for themselves.

Polysics

Is Kayo, Polysics' synthesizer, vocoder & voice the cutest synth player ever? Discuss. Also the band is kick-ass.

Inspired by Robin Coopers timewaster letters

Today I sent an email to Oceana club, Cardiff after they sent me a 'letter' inviting me and my friends to party with them. Let me confirm that I would not party in Oceana if the world was about to end and everywhere else was fully booked.

Here is a copy of the email:

"Hello,

recently I received a letter from you, which was surprising since I've never signed up to your mailing list, inviting myself and friends to come to your club. Unfortunately myself and many of my friends have large visible tattoos which I believe you have a policy against. Boy, did you get some bad (and rightly deserved) press over that debacle! Way to alienate a sizable section of your potential demographic! Anyway, I guess that's partly what 'Right of admission reserved' means. Does this mean I can't come to your club?

Regards,

Edward Timpkins"

I eagerly await a reply.
