Told You, I Did
Last year, I thought “how cool would it be to have a Talk Like Yoda Day, you know, like Talk Like a Pirate Day?” I wasn’t the first to have the idea — and I certainly won’t be the last — but I’ve finally managed to throw content onto talklikeyoda.com in time for the proposed…

Everybody Gets Everything He Wants
Willard: I’m here a week now. Waiting for a mission. Getting softer; every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter. Kurtz: I watched a snail crawl along the edge of…

Ketchup
I like to blog, but I’ve been remiss in posting. So what better time than the end of the year to post what I’ve been up to. Three tomatoes are walking down the street: a poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes…

ADSL Badness; Unrelated Amusements
My ADSL connection is currently tres latent due to some Cisco badness on BT’s part. If you’re trying to call me on Skype or my VoIP number, it’ll either sound like I’m the Moon, or it won’t connect. You may also find my site a tad slow too until it’s sorted out. Still, in other…

The real genius part of it is this: Please refer to the enclosed plan for details of the proposed scheme. The…

Scotland 1, France 0
This surely says it all: Gary Caldwell scores for Scotland against France, Hampden Park, 2006-10-07 I was in McPhabb’s for this game, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. What a great day to be a Scotsman. Oh, view the French reaction too!

Talk Like Yoda Day?
Tomorrow is, as always, Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s a day when everyone should talk like a pirate. There’s no real reason behind it, other than it’s fun. However, I’d like to nominate May 21st as Talk Like Yoda Day. Why May 21st? It’s the date in 1980 when The Empire Strikes Back —…

Sexiest Ad Ever
Danish model Maria Gregersen frolics in the rain and spins around in the street to the tune of Tom Jones’ 1971 hit “She’s a Lady”. This is the TV ad for Lacoste‘s new fragrance for women: Lacoste Inspiration. Yeah, yeah, I thought as I idly watched, another ad with a bouncy model showing how “inspired”…
