Comments (1) I like this advert, never seen on UK TV screens apart from amusing clip shows, where I first saw it.
I’m employed by a well-known organisation which deals with a lot of cars and vans, and the end just makes me laugh every time I see it.

I couldn’t resist this one, even though lolcat seems to be everywhere right now.
As you were.
While not a big, big fan of Doctor Who I won’t drop everything to watch it. I do have a favourite episode though), this made me laugh. No doubt, the soon-to-be-announced new Doctor will be reading this book quite quickly.
Exterminate! Exterminate! Damn Steps!

This is one meme that I just happened to stumble across during a random trawl through everything Internet. I quite like this one. I had trouble in getting a random quote (every time I went back to the random quote page, it had the same quotes there.) Apparently Flickr has a pool devoted to something like this.
Usual rules: play along if you want to, don’t play if you don’t want to. To also say again, the sage words of Master Yoda: “Do. Or Do Not. There Is No Try.”
And before you ask, I’m not working on the “awkward second album” yet.

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

5. Post it on your blog.
Here’s mine. Sort of makes sense.
I’ve found out something kind of interesting.
A second post in light of the new Indiana Jones movie being released today. You’ll recognise some, if not all of the movies this clip shows, This is the best movie on YouTube of this phenomenon, ‘cos it shows the first one.
Poor Wilhelm. A bit of educational background here. Who said that this blog isn’t educational.
Not mine, but funny all the same.
I’m Joe Friday. I am a private eye. I work on Tuesday. Tuesday’s my secretary. Yesterday I was sitting in my office when there was a knock on the door which scared me half out of my secretary.
Then my first case came in and I polished off two bottles. I am so tough that I wear my clothes out from the inside. Suddenly a tall blonde walked past my window, I knew she was tall because we were on the third floor.The phone rang and I knew something was wrong cause I didn’t have a phone.
It was a girl and I knew something was definitely wrong cause she told me there was. I raced downstairs and called a taxi. The taxi stopped with a jerk, the jerk got out and I got in. The driver took the corner at 80 miles per hour, the cop stopped us and told us to put it back. We drove on the pavement because there was a sign saying “Keep Death Off Roads”. Then we were out of the city. I knew, because we weren’t hitting as many pedestrians.
As we came to my clients house she greeted me with a burning kiss then she took her cigarette out and kissed me again. She pointed two thirty-eights at me. She also had a gun. She had the most beautiful blonde hair on her head too. She had teeth like the ten commandments, all broken. She had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, in fact, one eye was so beautiful the other one couldn’t stop looking at it.
There was a man on the floor, he had a stab wound in his heart, a bullet wound to his head and his wrists were slashed. He was dead.
I took her for a drive in the country and a brick came through the window and hit her on the left breast and broke four of my fingers. We got a flat tyre and she pumped and I pumped and she pumped and I pumped and then we got out and fixed the tyre.
Then I took her home and she asked me for a root beer, the root was nice but the beer was flat.
I was giving her a goodnight kiss but she crossed her legs and broke my glasses.
I’d just like to pass on a bit of info, all based on what happened to me yesterday.
I was at a local store near to where I work during lunch, getting a bit of food for the next few days. I got 2 DVDs while I was there. Because of the immense securty regarding DVDs nowadays, you have to pre-pay for them in a central area (in the DVD, CD, magazines, books and cards section). The receipt always goes in the bag with the DVDs. I go to the checkout and pay for the stuff. It wasn’t until I got back to work that I realised I hadn’t got the DVDs on me.
I checked and double-checked my car, and no, they weren’t there. It was too late in my lunch break to go back to the store, so waited until the end of the day and went back to the store. I explained what happened, and they said:
“Have you got your receipt? Oh no. You haven’t. It was in the bag.”
A few phone calls later, no-one had handed in the DVDs. Stupid, silly me.
Moral of the story: If you pre-pay for the goods, make sure you get the receipt in your hand, should you decide to pre-pay for your goods.
To rapidly change the subject: this ad makes me laugh every time I see it:
I’ve been a bit under the weather recently. I have a sore throat that’s quite persistent, and also what can only be described as a “dry nose” As opposed to a runny nose where it’s hankies every few minutes, this one makes your head all fuzzy, but at least you don’t have the sniffles. But my head hurt at odd times though. My sore throat makes my voice a bit hoarse, but not much.
In other news, a task that I was picked to do at work ages ago is now under way. It’s a massive exercise, but today was the first day. So, I’ve decreased my workload considerably to do this particular job, with more than enough to keep me busy. And, as regular visitors to this site will know, that’s what I like the most. When there is no work to do, that’s when I start getting very nervous, having been through countless redundancy situations before. But here, I have loads and loads to do.
I’ll leave you with this amusing story:
Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn’t have a lot of money between them. They could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.
Murphy said ‘Hang on, I have an idea.’
He went next door to the butcher’s shop and came out with one large sausage.
Shamus said ‘Are you crazy? Now we don’t have any money left at all!’
Murphy replied, ‘Don’t worry – just follow me.’
He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamieson Whisky.
Shamus said ‘Now you’ve lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven’t got any money!!’
Murphy replied, with a smile. ‘Don’t ! Worry, I have a plan, Cheers!’
They downed their drinks. Murphy said, ‘OK, I’ll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.’
The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.
They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.
At the tenth pub Shamus said ‘Murphy – I don’t think I can do any more of this. I’m drunk and me knees are killing me!’
Murphy said, ‘How do you think I feel? I lost the sausage in the third pub!”
The worthwhile exercise I did before WordPress decided to blow a sparky (note to self: read the posts!) was that I have finished compiling a database of my DVD collection. It’s now officially a collection, as it’s vast. One of the good things about it is that it links to the Internet Movie Database and their rating system. In my collection, the lowest score is 3.3, for “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace“. The highest rating is quite rightly for “Band of Brothers“, the powerful, excellent mini-series from a few years back, which gets a well-deserved 9.6.
Before I go, a topical joke (apologies to SwissToni, who I believe enjoys keeping up to date with the US Primaries and Presidential Elections):
The old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years, he had faithfully served the people of the nation’s capital in Washington D.C. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
‘Yes, Father?’ said the nurse‘I would really like to see Bill and Hillary Clinton before I die,’ whispered the priest.
‘I’ll see what I can do, Father’ replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to the Senate and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; the Clintons would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Hillary commented to Bill, ‘I don’t know why the old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images and might even get me elected President. After all, I’m IN IT TO WIN IT.’
Bill agreed– it was a very good thing for her campaign once they put out a press release about it.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the old priest took Bill’s hand in his right hand and Hillary’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest’s face.
Finally Bill Clinton spoke. ‘Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?’
The old priest slowly replied, ‘I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’
‘Amen’ said Bill.
‘Amen’ said Hillary.
The old priest continued…’He died between two lying thieves. I would like to do the same.”
Hope you’re having a good one.
No, I’m not writing this from some Spanish internet cafe, nor stealing somebody’s Wi-fi connection. The beauty of timestamping means I can go forward in time (and after a few experiments, backwards too).
This is the best animation I’ve seen all year, and I thought that because it’s Christmas, I’ll share it with you all.
Feliz Navidad!
Adios.
