Okay, so normally I’d bury this post where it really belongs, somewhere in the reply section of Saturday’s original rant about all things technically attractive and attractively technical.
However, there was something about Darren Saturday’s post that demanded a little extra attention. Maybe it was the implied threats? Maybe it was the explicit threats?
Or maybe [...]

Oh, man. I just realised it’s almost State Of Origin time again and I still haven’t finished not caring about last year’s State Of Origin. The hell do people find the time to not care about all this stuff? (Murray @ Midnight | 4 Comments)

Time to vote for your favourite "Cats in the cradle" caption!
Published by May 7th, 2008 in Caption SLUGfest Championships. 1 CommentYes, that’s right, it’s time for another fantastic caption slugfest to come to an end!
As always, we’ve had some entries this time around, and some of them even made the judging team smile, and on one remarkable occasion, even say, "Heh."
You can have your say on who should be crowned the undisputed Imperial Ruler Of [...]
Caption slugfest: “The cats in the cradle”
Published by April 26th, 2008 in Caption SLUGfest Championships. 1 Comment“Right!” Murray @ Midnight yelled as he kicked the door open to Voodoologic Enterprise’s plush and hedonistic boardroom, scattering Darren Saturday off his satin pillows and startling two of the houris who had been fanning him and feeding him grapes. “How long has it been since we had a caption slugfest, damn your eyes?”
“Well, I, [...]
Another episode in which no-one dies…
Published by April 21st, 2008 in Incoherent Ramblings Of The Enraged Mumble Mumble. 3 CommentsYou know what I’d like? I’d like to watch a cop show on television where pretty much the most violent thing they ever investigate is a missing cat. Or maybe some nefarious bugger has stolen a pair of rollerskates — the type you used to strap onto your shoes — that no-one uses much anymore, [...]
Press Release: “The Twacknostic Twacks Take Round 5, Other Teams Not As Good.”
Published by April 14th, 2008 in Pins and Needles. 0 CommentsFOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
When the full-time whistle blew, everyone agreed that they’d witnessed a game of footy that would go down in the history books [1]. Grizzled frontline forwards were battle-wearied, sure-footed wingers were numb with fatigue, and up in the nose-bleed seats in the stands noses were bleeding, but only because of a 3rd quarter [...]
The road stretches out ahead, a black ribbon cutting across a late afternoon landscape. Dusk is setting in, a few minutes from now the headlights will go on.
You’re lost, somewhere in America. Elvis on the radio, destination… nowhere in particular.
Welcome to the after-dark world of the abandoned roadside diner.
We have a winner: “Anyone Seen Eddie?” caption slugfest
Published by April 13th, 2008 in Caption SLUGfest Championships. 0 CommentsIt’s time to declare a winner in the “Anyone Seen Eddie?” caption slugfest.
It was a competition dominated by two Voodooista, Illuminated Dan and Stark Raving Duncan, with a result that was so close that you’d have to question whether or not the result was getting up to some funny business with itself while no-one was [...]
Time to vote for your favourite “Anyone Seen Eddie?” caption!
Published by April 6th, 2008 in Caption SLUGfest Championships. 0 CommentsAll good things must come to an end, and even some things that are not so good, such as the “Anyone Seen Eddie?” caption slugfest.
And I mean it when I say this slugfest was not so good, because in reality it was brilliant! We had some very strong entries from Stark Raving Duncan and Illuminated [...]
“Also, the academic bastards will not even allow Time Cube on their web sites”
Published by April 4th, 2008 in Dispatches from another world. 5 CommentsAnd there you have it. I’ve just spent a disturbing 40 minutes over on TimeCube.com, trying to make sense of… well… of pretty much anything on the site at all; and all I have to show for my efforts so far is a mild headache and a vague desire to travel to Switzerland to punch [...]
