primates


I've just discovered why I'm continually forced to look through crayon smudged scrawls masquerading as java code.

toilet humour


When Nintendo announced that the name of their next-gen games console would be called the "Wii", most people were slightly disturbed at the potential for bad amber-acid related humour. I however have only seen 1 joke that's actually funny, and it aint exactly a corker. So, here goes.

"Do you have any Wii in stock?" asked the customer. "Or course we do," exclaimed the clerk, "Urine GameStop!"

scented

There is a some good news for those of us that smell like the rotting innards of a diseased camel. Apparently, (so I heard), to the average Indian westerners reek of detergent and soap. While some of us like to think of this as being clean, to them it's rather a turn-off.

If you find people holding their breathe as they walk past you, or perhaps simply keel over as they get close, perhaps you should move to India.

bygone times

Gone are the days where I while away my evenings chatting to mostly like minded people on irc. This evening however I was reminded of my past antisocial joys. I spent the evening chatting to readers of one of my preferred blogs, kotaku.

I spent a rather pleasant 3 hours chatting about the various next gen consoles and the relative innovation that the companies are bringing to the field. While I hadn't intended to slate Sony, I'm less than impressed with their offerings and sadly that lead to me talking about them in a rather dim light.

Anyway - my point was that my evening socialising online was fulfilling. While there isn't room in my life for my past commitment to online banter, I feel that perhaps I should make room for at least a little chit-chat.

Pleasant evening and pleasant parting, thanks to the guys I was chatting to, thanks Joel, Brian and the rest of the kotaku guys.
