Cats. Good. I enjoy cats. I was alerted to this video by an email from this idiot, via Videocracy. Complicated, innit?

Deliberately misleading offer, or spectacular maths failure?
“Retail Price is: $100.00 yours for only $35 (Savings of 75%)”
My guess is both.

Ironic Sans: Idea: A new typography term

keming. noun. The result of improper kerning.
This is almost certainly funnier than you think. Almost.

Black Books DVDs – currently quite cheap
In the spirit of public spiritedness (tempered with gratuitous profiteering, in association with amazon.co.uk), I would like to draw your attention to the current bargain price of the complete, utterly good, Black Books on DVD at amazon. For all your Dylan Moran/Bill Bailey/Tamsin Greig sitcom needs.
The key to productivity…
…is definitely NOT making a slightly stronger than anticipated G’n’T, and then listening to Nurse With Wound. It is, in fact, the key to not getting a newsletter written, and some nervous laughter.

Secrets to coping with the modern world – part one: disregard the youth
You do not have to acknowledge the existence of anyone under the age of 20. Except at your own discretion, otherwise family gatherings could get quite awkward. Or if you have created some under-20s of your own. Choose another age threshold as you see fit, 20 seems to be about right for my sanity.
This saves you from having to deal with the vast majority of the barely sentient bipeds that parade themselves around our towns and cities.
You do have to watch where you’re going though – take it a bit too literally and you may find yourself one day sat in casualty, totally unable to explain how you got a sharpened baseball cap embedded in your spleen.

I worry about me, sometimes
But not often. Maybe not often enough. I let other people handle that.
The latest thing that is worrying me slightly about myself is that I appear to have subscribed to a blog in Bloglines that is not only in a language I don’t understand, but one I don’t even recognize.
But I am not afraid.

Oh, how unpleasant
I don’t really go into details, but the upshot is that the [until very recently] perfectly usable ballpoint pen I purchased myself not four weeks ago is now in the bin. The one by the toilet.
UPDATE, a few short minutes later. I’m so traumatized, I forgot to help myself to FREE CAKE. Cake!

Alarming Kinder Surprise advert
I think I vaguely remember this advert. It is seriously disturbing me. And presumably this was meant to appeal to children, in some way? Advertising professionals thought this. Yikes.

I am mildly enraged.
Maybe not enraged. Disappointed, certainly.
Anyway, this should help out anyone else who is trying to find the “swearing on the lawn” sketch from The Armando Iannucci Shows by Googling for “tit of cress”.
