Free Porn
We’ve been pondering titles for Stargate themed porn lately at Casa Spinneyhead (this is what happens when you OD on a TV show). Possibilities include “Up Daniel’s Jackson” and “Wormhole Extreme” (no, hold on a minute, that last one is a real episode title). In the real world the homaged titles are no better, as this exhaustive list shows (NSFW).

StreetCar
It’s all about image. The StreetCar is a very modern bus designed to look and, with segregated roadways, move like a tram. The idea is to get professionals onto public transport and out of their penis replacements. Might work.

Cool It Carol
Peter Walker, Britain’s answer to Roger Corman. I wish I could imitate his style. Not necessarily the cheap horror movies, but the way they were made- quick and dirty shoots with low budgets so profit is easier to come by. Where do I get a cheap DV video camera?

Last Chance
I think we’re all registered to vote at Casa Spinneyhead. I hope we are. If I’m going to bitch and moan about the various parties’ stupid policies I should at least be able to exercise my one chance to influence them.

Slightly Darker Side
George Lucas says that Star Wars Episode 3 may not be suitable for young children. Is it possible he’s going to redeem himself in the eyes of the geeks?
A new Episode 3 trailer aired in the States last night. Some kind soul sat their video camera in front of the screen and recorded it for us.

Road Trip!
Opening today, a UK sized Solar System map. The Sun is based at Jodrell Bank, which is only 15 miles or so away. I reckon it’s time to get on my bike.

Click Fraud
Not something that’s likely to happen on Spinneyhead. I may try to play the keywords so I can get better value ads, but I’m not sitting here repeatedly clicking them or asking anyone else to just so I can make a little money. Besides, I don’t think even then I could manage the level of fraud some are suffering.

Buy your own KITT, though it could cost almost the same again to get it across to this side of the Atlantic.

Watching roaches climb the wall
Another take on William Shatner’s version of Common People, this time live with Joe Jackson and Ben Folds on the Leno Show. I’ve always liked Joe Jackson’s stuff, he’s one of British music’s great also rans, and this performance does him no harm.

I've got something to put in you
I’ve posted this one before, but it’s still hilarious- George W Bush and Tony Blair do Gay Bar by Electric Six.
Let’s start a war, a nuclear war.

Starts at home…..
50% of those surveyed by the Energy Saving Trust believed that going green was more expensive, totally missing the point of saving energy. This is why there needs to be a programme like “How to Save the World for Free“. I really need to complete the second draft of the proposal.

Fred the Dursty parrot
Just a little experiment before I try any more complex lip-synching. Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst recently joined the long and boring list of C-list celebs to have sex tapes released onto the internet. Fleshbot claim to have been traumatised by his commands to “touch my balls and my ass”, so I sampled this bit and used it to voice the parrot in a piece of Soviet animation found by BoingBoing.

(Update Hello if you came from Fleshbot, BoingBoing or Screenhead, and thsnks for being part of my busiest few days to date. More videos coming soon.)

Craig
Craigslist keeps getting mentioned on US blogs as a source of useful/strange online classifieds. I only found out today that there’s a Manchester version. It’s not as busy as some, but it’s still a source of odd stuff such as this- Pornstar Richard Mann is hiring models.
Pornstar Richard Mann is coming to Manchester from San Francisco!
We are hiring beautiful women ages 18-28 to co-star in our XXX film series. Whether you are a dancer, a working professional or a college student, you would earn US$1000+ each day acting in boy/girl XXX scenes. Applicants, send your headshots to RichardMannXXX@gmail.com
On a cleaner note, I think I’m going to put up an ad asking for artists to get Deputised Experts back up and running.
