LOLZ more beer!

This one is called “Light Mild”, which is boringly generic. However, the purpose of the post is to mock those at work again. MOCK!

As an addition to my other “dawn of time” occasionals, I thought I’d bring you this - a contribution to the BBC’s “h2g2″. As you may know, h2g2 was set up to be an actual real version of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (hence the name). In fact, it pretty much became a forerunner to Wikipedia, and in the last few years it seems to have been mostly abandoned in favour of it.

Anyway, In 1996 I came up with a “hilarious” new product - the Lard Bar. Initially, its tagline was “It costs a pound to make you round”, but this price was revised to 30p when I realised that other similar confections (Mars, Twix, etc.) were nearer that figure and the chocolate snack marketplace was too crowded to support a premium price point for a new product.

Yes, this was far too much detail for something that didn’t exist.

So I posted my product on h2g2. For some reason, the date is listed as 1999, but I think that might be because of some technical changed made to h2g2 around then.

I have come up with this great new snack - ready to take the world by storm. All I need is a bit of cash from some gullib- er, willing ‘business partners’ (silent, of course). I propose the following: The Lard Bar(tm) —————- Des: A small oblong length of Top Quality Lard, coated in smooth milk chocolate. Cost: About 30p Variations on this are the Caramel Lard Bar(tm), Biscuit Lard Bar(tm) and Dark Chocolate Lard Bar(tm). Currently under plan are the equally delicious-sounding White Chocolate Lard Bar(tm) and the ‘yummy’ Pork Scratching Lard Bar(tm). Any takers? You’ve got to be able to stump up a couple of grand by christmas, waver all rights to a fair deal, and be completely hatstand. (c) + ™ AK Enterprises Ltd.

Amezin, yes?

Are you one of those poor people reading from work? Are you? Ah, poor you. I’m at a beer festival and have BEER.

This beer is called Hope and Glory. It is nice and you don’t have any.

I’ll stop now.

And my breath, too. Changing printer messages FTW!

I’m playing Phoenix Wright 3, and Phoenix’s girlfriend is giving a testimony. The men in the room are somewhat transfixed by her. Mia is less than impressed…

After yesterday’s Macbook uptime report I had to reboot as expected. Today, I installed a new keyboard on my PC (sadly, last week’s cleaning killed my other one a bit) and had to reboot that. Here’s the uptime before I hit the switch. Pathetic!

Well, it isn’t that massive, but compared to the usual peak of 40 days (ish) on my desktop PCs, 123 days on my Macbook is quite impressive.

Even more so because it’s a laptop, I think. Anyway, I took this photo as my Mac has stopped recognising external drives (my fault - I was backing it up last night and pulled the external drive too early) so I think I may have to reboot soon. Shame!

Most predictable subject for this photo EVER! Just seen a dalek in Norwich city centre, scaring the kiddies and having trouble going backwards.

It reminded me of those cheap crap remote control cars from the 80s that went forwards and turned in reverse. Amazing scenes.
