Stinking Badges Home Page
We were discussing this clip from UHF in the pub last week, and trying to figure out the provenance of the ‘steenking badges’ line, so this site is a boon.

Gulf War 2 – Electric Boogaloo
Over at idleworm there’s a new new flash game/movie/thing (more of a clickable presentation really) called Gulf War 2. Any fans of Civ might find it a little familiar. It’s also worth looking around the site at some of the other stuff, particularly AOL – Ashcroft OnLine.
Quiet at the back
Oy vey, I’m getting heckled by my own team now!
I think the fact that Stupid Girl tried to get one over on me is interesting and mildly amusing. But, more importantly, the fact that I found out about it because some kind soul took the time out to warn me has done wonders for my faith in human nature.
Life imitating art imitating life
Yesterday Ian posted that he’d read a news story about students working as escorts to earn money and that this was a plotline in a book he wrote. The missing detail is that it was also the subject of an article in the student paper at our old university about 12 years ago (when we were both students there).
If Daz is reading this can he please install some content management software on Ian’s PC and set it to censor any web page or e-mail that mentions his ex. It’s for his own good (and yours too given that he probably hasn’t talked about much else since the e-mail).
Duck and cover
I’ve tracked down the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ‘Are you ready’ document. The advice is a bit better than the old 1950’s duck and cover public information film but not much. One effect the document has had is to boost the demand for duct tape.
Ulcer
A few days off the pills and the Little Bastard is back. Uck. Oh well.
Duck and Cover
The US government has issued civil defence style booklets of what to do in an NBC attack, including a special kiddies version.
�You should have duct tape, plastic sheeting and scissors. Have an adult turn off air-conditioners, vents and fans,�
What was that about the terrorists only winning if they made you change the way you lived?
Ben Hammersley.com: Godwin is getting old
Lots of people are invoking the second world war (and ludicrously comparing Dubya to Churchill) to justify Enduring Oilwells. Ben Hammersley takes them to task.
Troops at Heathrow
I used to live under the Heathrow flightpath. Even before September the eleventh I would look up at planes and worry about what could happen if one dropped from the sky. The same worries, or possibly an attempt to up the paranoia, has prompted the Government to put troops on standby around the complex.
Foodie Myths
Damn! And I was relying on eating celery being my main form of exercise.

LRP World News has been receiving a lot of hate mail after the fascists over at Free Republic decided to highlight and try to skew one of its polls. I use FR to find sites that will interest me- if it winds them up I should definitely check it out.
The power of the internet
That ex- girlfriend? Still the same stupid bitch she ever was. Some kind soul sent me a link to the thread where she decides to bait me.
