10 things we want to hear Mace Windu say in Revenge of the Sith

1. You don't need to see my goddamn identification 'cause these ain't the motherfuckin' droids you're looking for.
2. Womp rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know, 'cause even if it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
3. This is your father's lightsaber. When you absolutley, positively, have to kill every motherfuckin' stormtrooper in the room.....accept no substitutes.
4. If Obi-Wan ain't home then I don't know what the fuck we're going to do. I ain't got no other connections on Tatoonie.
5. Feel the force, motherfucker.
6. 'What' ain't no planet I've ever heard of. Do they speak Bocce on What?
7. You sendin' the Fett? Shit, Hutt, that's all you had to say!
8.

9. Does Jabba the Hutt look like a bitch?
10. Hand me my lightsaber....it's the one that says, "Bad Mother Fucker".

darwin rules!

28 November 2004, Washington | We have a new Darwin winner, with the recent demise of a man at the hands of his lava lamp. "Why on Earth he heated a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," said baffled police.

No drug or alcohol evidence was found; Philip Quinn, 24, in his right mind, placed a lava lamp on his kitchen burner and turned up the flame. In due course, he rediscovered this favorite explosive generator of deadly shrapnel. He was found dead in his Kent trailer home, a shard of glass through his heart.

Hangover ratings from siliconhell

1 Star Hangover
No pain. No real feeling of illness. Your sleep last night was a mere disco nap which is giving you a whole lot of misplaced energy. Be glad that you are able to function relatively well. However, you are still parched. You can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel this way. Even vegetarians are craving a Cheeseburger and a side portion of fries.

2 Star Hangover
Slight headache. Don't feel sick, but something is definitely amiss. You may look okay but you have the attention span and mental capacity of a stapler. The coffee you chug to try and remain focused is only exacerbating your rumbling gut, which is craving a full English breakfast. Last night has wreaked havoc on your bowels and even though you have a nice demeanor about the office, you are costing your employer valuable money because all you really can handle is aimlessly surfing the net and writing junk e-mails.

3 Star Hangover
Definite headache. Stomach feels crappy. You are definitely a space cadet and so not productive. Anytime a girl walks by you gag because her perfume reminds you of the random gin shots you did with your alcoholic friends after the bouncer kicked you out at 1:45 a.m. Life would be better right now if you were in your bed with a dozen donuts and a liter of coke watching Good Morning with Richard and Judy. You've had 4 cups of coffee, a gallon of water, 2 Sausage Rolls and a liter of diet coke - yet you haven't peed once.

4 Star Hangover
Your head is throbbing and you can't speak too quickly or else you might honk. You have lost the will to live. Your boss has already lambasted you for being late and has given you a lecture for reeking of booze. You wore nice clothes, but that can't hide the fact that you missed an oh-so crucial spot shaving, (girls, it looks like you put your make-up on while riding the bumper cars), your teeth have sweaters, your eyes look like one big vein and your hair style makes you look like a reject from the class picture of Moss side secondary school circa 1976.

You would give a weeks pay for one the following:
1. Home time,
2. A duvet and somewhere to be alone, or
3. A time machine so you could go back and not go out the night before.


5 Star Hangover (aka Dante's 4th Circle of Hell)

You have a second heartbeat in your head which is actually scaring the employee who sits next to you. Death seems pretty good right now. You can't focus as your eyes are scrunched up against the overpowering glare from your computer screen. Rancid vodka vapour is seeping out of every pore, staining your shirt and making you dizzy. You still have toothpaste crust in the corners of your mouth, at least you think it's toothpaste crust. You don't give a damn either way. Your body has lost the ability to generate saliva and your tongue is suffocating you. You'd cry but that would take the last of the moisture left in your body. Talking is not an option. Your boss doesn't even get mad at you and your co-workers think that your dog just died because you look so pathetic. You should have called in sick because all you can manage to do is breathe....very gently.

I dont know who Lincoln Freimund is but I like his style.......

“Gentlemen, at approximately nine o’clock last night, a small scouting force was sent into the vicinity of my liver. They’ve not been heard from. A rescue force was dispatched, but they, too, have been lost. I’m afraid I have no choice but to declare a state of full-scale war with my liver. Time for a martini.”
Lincoln Freimund rallies the troops on New Year’s Eve.

The QUINCY drinking game

Drink Once When:
....Quincy walks off in a huff.
....Someone explains some obscure fact to Quincy
(like "Kids can buy these drugs over the counter
ANYWHERE in America!")
(Drink twice if Quincy freaks out about that.)
....Quincy looks disappointed and turns away.
....Quincy ends a discussion with someone with a KILLER phrase
that obviously wins the conversation
(like "That's funny.. I thought you HAD...")
....Quincy complains about government/company red tape.
....Quincy goes somewhere to re-enact the crime that
caused the episode(Drink twice if Sam goes with him.)
....They end the episode at Danny's Restaurant.

Drink Twice When:
....a moral message is shoved down your throat.
....Quincy tells everyone ELSE something before he tells Sam.
....Sam asks Quincy to explain why he needs to do a lab test...
....The police detective gets upset with Quincy for doing his job

Drink Three Times When:

....Quincy gets awakened by a long lost friend while sleeping
on his boat.
....Dr. Astin (his supervisior) mentions his budget

Empty bottle when:
....Quincy says "You're a MURDERER!!!"

there's nothing more dangerous than a gerbil with a sniper rifle

This is not Tom

A DANCING WEREWOLF

The experience of watching American Werewolf in London had profound effects for one film fan - and his neighbours.

The 28-year-old was so moved by the 1980s horror that he took to making wolverine howls for hours on end.

Alarmed neighbours who went to investigate the first outbreak saw him standing on his windowsill and pretending to dance with a Christmas tree while moaning loudly.

An Asbo banning him from shouting, swearing, banging windows, moaning and dumping rubbish was not enough. The howls continued and he was duly jailed for two months in August.

He has since been jailed for four months and will be spending Christmas in prison.

American Werewolf in London

I was thinking about this film when I wrote the last caption to the spider pic. At the start of the film Brian Golver says to the two american hikers/victims something along the lines of "Stay on the path lads" as they go wandering across the moors at night. Did he really think that staying on the path would keep there werewolf away? Was it a magic path?

ooooohhhh horrid spider


this spider was spotted with about 8 of its friends hanging off a tree by the sea. its hard to see scale but the body was about 4 inches long and about 1 inch thick. just out of shot is a sign saying "Do NOT stray from the path. Unexploded munitions in forest." - hong kong again (as opposed to just outside the slaughtered lamb - "stay on the path lads) Posted by Hello

russian around


me and my mum with vodka in Balalaika Restaurant in Hong Kong. The reason we are both wearing (fake) fur coats and hats is that the room we are standing in contains about 40 bottles of vodka and is kept at -20degrees celsius or so. If you go to Hong Kond you should really try Balalaika. I was a bit dubious about the whole "russian food" bit, but its fantastic. The black bread and sausage is awesome. Posted by Hello

Junk arriving


picture of the junk coming into the star ferry dock just before our daytrip Posted by Hello
although the pic looks like it was smoggy it was actually bright sunlight with totally clear skies. The fact that it was also 32degrees and 95%humidity probably didn't help tho'

sunday

Well, lets see how this thing works then. Its Sunday 19th Sept 2004 and this is the first entry in the blog. I will be mainly using this to share photo's with people I know rather than sharing opinions, but you never know........if I get drunk enough...........actually come to think of that, Tom's coming over this weekend so there may be some drunken ramblings going on soon.
