The moral of this song must be: there never has been one.

Holy gosh, I've caught up on LJ. How did that happen?

Here's the latest UnNews from me that I haven't posted in full here:

• Capita letter-bombed, entire UK population suspected (today)
• Wiltshire police in panty promo (today)
• Coroner censures Network Rail for providing too much warning (today)
• Germany joins Axis Of Evil with rest of Europe (3 Feb)
• PlayStation 3 European launch announced (30 Jan)
• Brain's "addiction centre" found (30 Jan)
• Courts turn to Uncyclopedia, but selectively (29 Jan)
• John Reid: "Oh fuck, not the Home Office" (28 Jan)
• Priests battle "printing press" pirates (27 Jan)
• Cognac and iPod ban for North Korea (27 Jan)
• Another internet "FBI agent" turns out to be 12yo girl (25 Jan; someone on #uk_goffs thought this was real; I'll be kind and not say who)
• Gimp group objects to K-Fed ad (25 Jan; I particularly liked the audio version)

These two were written by damien_wise and tidied up by me:

• "One hu-man at a time" scheme dropped in favour of new stealth vehicle (written when he saw the picture)
• WoW fans disappointed with Vista (I made the pic for this one)

And I did in fact win the Foolitzer Prize for January. AND BLOODY DESERVED IT.

Yay NetHack!

THANK YOU for getting it.

I suspect my adolescent binging on NetHack and various other Roguelikes innoculated me against the dread WoW addiction.

It made me laugh out loud as soon as the screenshot appeared, superb work!

Reid was being talked about as a possible competitor to Brown - so the obvious conspiracy theory would be that Brown offered Blair some suitable inducement to give Reid this positively radioactive chalice. A promise of a pardon for the loans-for-peerages perhaps l-)

I reckon that crapita story pretty much wrote itself ;)

Yay Lloyd Cole and the Commotions quote!

The north Korean article was hilarious...then I read the source and discovered that, like many UNews posts, it's scarily close to reality.
More, more! :)

Ta for kicking my fevered ramblings into shape. Gotta love the NetHack pic! :->

Does that mean that Vista is Thetan proof?
Cause y'know they don't dig nethack (I originally thought it was rogue for a second)

[reddragdiva]

Nethack screen shots are much easier to search for on Google ;-p
