That's not a rhino...
Another classic BBC mistake... unless the western black rhino has evolved into some kind of horse in an effort to survive extinction!

Party Til You Puke - Andrew WK Drinking Game!
A friend brought this to my attention today;
The Andrew W.K. Drinking Game/Suicide Method
Step One:
Make a playlist out if the following tracks in this order:
Party Til you Puke
It's Time to Party
Party Hard
Long Live The Party
Big Party
Party Party Party
Step Two:
Drink a shot every time he says "party".
Now anyone who knows anything about Mr WK knows he loves to party. And he likes to sing about his love to party. So his songs feature the word 'Party' alot. Just to see how hardcore you would need to be to complete this, and because I was bored at work, I went through all the songs listed and figured out the 'Party' count;Party Til You Puke

The play list runs at 951 Seconds, or 15. 51
If you follow the rules (Take a shot everytime Andrew WK says 'Party' you will take 144 shots over the duration of the playlist. That's a shot every 6.6 seconds.
If however you take a shot everytime 'Party' is said, and the one occassion partying is said, not just by Andrew WK then your looking at 212 shots. Thats one every 4.5 seconds.
Good luck....PARTY HARD!

'They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time'
I was on facebook and in the ad bar at the side I spotted a very unusual item; 24 The Fragrance.
Now I've played 24 The Video game, read 24 The Book, watched 24 The TV series, worn 24 The T-shirt, even attempted the disastrous 24 The Boardgame...but to smell like Jack Bauer!? I thought it was a joke but some quick Intel from CTU revealed this is not an elaborate hoax but in fact a credible threat to scent!
If it's going to smell like JB then your limited to blood, sweat and semen...and Lady Gaga already has that planned for her own perfume.
Hopefully its one of those fragrances that last 24 hours...

'I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is'
With the prequel to classic John Carpenter horror The Thing (1982) being released this week, also called The Thing (2011), I was slightly alarmed to read this story on BBC online;
The team plans to use a hot water drill to break through the ice to this underwater lake, one of many in Antarctica, to find what sort of life has been trapped and isolated from the outside world for thousands of years...
Great! They expect to find virus; that have never been encountered before. Have they not learned anything from movies? They could find some twisted alien. Or what if they find a frozen mega shark fighting a giant octopus and end up releasing that whole mess onto the world?!
When will people learn! Let's just hope they have Kurt Russell on stand-by...or Debbie Gibson for the latter.

Rugby World Cup 2011 - Fantasy Game
For the duration of the Rugby World Cup I'm taking part in a fantasy league. Despite playing the game at a grass roots level I'm not all that knowledgeable on who is any good. So I'm putting the effort in this time and following players and learning who to play and who to drop. And today it started to pay off and I hit the top! This may be the only time I sit on the throne of the league, made up mainly of players from Ramsey Rugby Team, so I thought I would take the opportunity to celebrate. The sudden leap up the table is mainly down to some creative transferring before the big games and a spectacular performance from Ma'a Nonu! NONUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Be there or be more square!
Received an email from 'My friends at Jack Daniel's'. Apparently they are making the bottle even more square... You can read the email below;
Things move pretty slowly round these parts, so even something like the addition of a clock on the Lynchburg courthouse is considered big news!
So whilst some of our friends may not even notice, we'd like you to be one of the first to know about a few minor refinements we're making to the Jack Daniel's bottle and label.
Mr. Jack decided on a square bottle so it would stand out - as you can see we've made sure it stays that way, we've just squared it even more and tidied up the label a little.
Rest assured that while we've tinkered with the outside to reflect the quality of what lies within, the whiskey inside remains unchanged. Each and every bottle is crafted right here at the distillery in Lynchburg, made to the same exacting standards and using the same recipe that Mr. Jack himself came up with back in 1866. The great man once said "Every day we make it we'll make it the best we can." And, we think he'd be proud that we continually revere the whiskey he created with such care and attention to this day.

'The royal penis is clean, your Highness'
Sometimes you just have to be in right place, at the right time, to get the photo of a lifetime. Whoever took this photograph was certainly there!

S&M&M
Whilst killing time at work by throwing Peanut M&Ms at colleagues I remembered the M&M World in Times Square New York. A quick search found the official site. Listed under the What's New in merchandise section was the MP3 Player Character. Now it could be coincidence but I doubt very much that whoever took the above picture didn't know exactly what they were doing! Dirty M&Ms!

Office Spaced: Bud Light is not so light if you drop it on your toes!
So if you haven't gathered; I HATE WORKING IN AN OFFICE. The dress code being one of my main hates. I do not ever see clients. I sit at a desk all day and repeatedly press the same buttons over and over. I do not need to wear smart clothes. I would work faster and more efficiently if I was more comfortable. So today I decided FUCK IT I'm wearing trainers. However I decided to pre-empt the expected ticking off and getting sent home to change with an early email to my slightly retarded line manager explaining why I had to wear trainers. The following email chain is unedited aside from the removal of confidential email addresses and names. (Also I was not injured in the slightest)
Me:
Manager:

Manager:
And with that I get to wear trainers for a week! Viva La Revolucion!
