STRANGE SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING - IS THIS REALLY A SPORT?

==================================

Strange "Sports" Quotes:

Some people think football is a matter of life and death…I can assure them it is much more serious than that. (Bill Shankly)

"I always tell kids, you have two eyes and one mouth. Keep two open and one closed. You never learn anything if you're the one talking." (Gordie Howe)

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, and disregard of all the rules. (George Orwell)

Serious sport is war minus the shooting. (George Orwell)

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. (Emo Philips)

Remember, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose. (Darrin Weinberg)

"Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time." (Lou Brock)

"When my time on Earth is gone, and my activities here are past, I want them to bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass." (Bobby Knight)

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Stupid Comments Made During Athens Summer Olympics

Olympic Glory


Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Athens Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

VW Camper Van Tent

If you're going to a festival this year (some
of them are still going apparently), the
bestest tent is the VW Camper Van Tent. Not
cheap at £299.99, but so extraordinary to look
at that you can sack off seeing the dull dad
rock bands and just spend three days going,
"fucking hell, look at my tent."
http://bit.ly/MpjKFi

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Lots of stuff. Yay

>> MAN OF STEEL - Rejected Music <<
"A while back, me and my rapper friend MC
Wreckshin pitched some music for the trailer of
the new Superman film Man Of Steel", writes
Superpowerless, "It was rejected." And what an
error Warner Bros made, for this is truly
excellent.
http://b3ta.com/links/MAN_OF_STEEL_Rejected_Music

>> Fifty Shades Generator <<
"We've created what could be the future of
erotic fiction," opines McChaff. "At the click
of a button, you get original and truly
horrific 'mommy-porn' literature that manages
to rival its inspiration in cringeworthyness."
Lorum ipsum is for pussies.
http://www.fiftyshadesgenerator.com/

>> Boris Johnson's Olympic welcome <<
Tow-headed toff Boris describes the sporting
delights in store. "Watch it while you can,"
advises casetteboy. "It uses the Olympic logos,
so who knows, it might get taken down."
http://bit.ly/MJXgDm

>> How gadgets work <<
Thoughtful piece by Sheep!, in his guise as
Max X, explaining just how everyday technology
such as the mobile phone acquires its magical
properties.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/A_film_about_how_gadgets_work

>> Stallion Explosion's puppet frenzy <<
"Hey I've shoved up a puppets thingy," beams
Joel Veitch. We like Joel, we like the puppets,
we lurve the title sequence, which should be
the new opening to News at Ten. BONG! BONG!
BONG OF DEATH!
http://bit.ly/O1CNZ3

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Choose Your Own Adventure - Deaths <<
Blog showcasing the bestest deaths from the
multiple choice gamebooks that were all the
rage in the 80s and 90s. We were always partial
to page 14 of the GrailQuest books, where you
were resurrected by Merlin and then told off
for being feckless and wasting time.
http://youchosewrong.tumblr.com/

>> Surprise clown! <<
"I hate my boyfriend. I pissed myself x4. So
far." Sustained joke or a sinister gaslighting
campaign?
http://imgur.com/a/rjTfN

>> Do you suck at your religion? <<
The Oatmeal helps you assess just how good you
are at your chosen belief system.
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/religion

>> 100 Worthwhile DOS Games of the 90s <<
Fire up your water-cooled, UV-underlit MS-DOS
gaming 'rig' and check out these beauties. Or
take out your false teeth, suck on a Werthers
Original and reminisce about how the games of
yesteryear were so much better than today.
http://bit.ly/QNNznL

>> '8 Amazing Drowned Buildings' <<
Architectural beauties that were deliberately
flooded, to the delight of photographers
everywhere. The main criterion for being on
this list is to be a church - no-one gives a
fuck about your aquatic Netto.
http://bit.ly/Mb8Asa

>> Terry Gilliam's personal archive <<
Holly Gilliam, Terry's daughter, blogs the gems
she discovers as she re-organises the great
man's personal archive. It's only been going a
week, but worth keeping an eye on if you're a
fan.
http://hollydgilliam.blogspot.co.uk/

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but you're allowed to watch it at work

>> Jeremy Hunt Disco Bell Remix <<
The jokes about Hunt having his "bell end come
off in his hand" are already tedious but this
short remix by The Poke is a campanologist's
delight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HluQ3MIW5zM

>> Five men under a nuclear explosion <<
Ah, the Fifties - such a different era. These
soldiers were excited to volunteer to stand
directly underneath an exploding nuclear bomb,
in the name of Science. Except for the guy
holding the camera, he was just ordered to do
it.
http://n.pr/NMgZ2l

>> Mastermind: Stupidity of Fr. Dougal McGuire <<
Excellent-value specialist round from Celebrity
Mastermind, like a Father Ted greatest hits in
quiz form.
http://bit.ly/Mb8Oj9

>> Bungle's screen test for Jaws <<
Rare footage of the Rainbow bear's first,
hesitant steps in his fledgling acting career.
Part of some big Comic Relief thing in aid of
puppets or something - Bagpuss is also worth a
look.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Bungle_screen_test_for_Jaws

>> Cop movie 'snappy banter' <<
We've never seen Samurai Cop but, judging from
this, it's hard to tell if the acting or the
writing is the worst thing ever. The actors
seem genuinely baffled by the words coming from
their own mouths.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KFKnQcvgLY

>> 1980s optical illusion <<
Instructions on how to create your own,
baffling 'Ames Window' - with the bonus of the
lovely retrocity that comes with footage from a
1980s TV show.
http://youtu.be/OIGaDXH9v2o

-------------------------------------------------

: TOKENISTIC OLYMPICS CORNER
Janey Thomson's Marathon live event

A few years back Matt Round and your Ginger
Fuhrer produced a joystick-waggling Marathon
game. Matt writes -

"It would be fun if people played Janey
Thomson's Marathon along with the women's
marathon race on telly. I'd happily give a
medal for the best highlights video uploaded of
a winning attempt. I like the idea of people
struggling & sweating to hammer away at a
couple of keys while the world's best athletes
actually run it..."
http://www.e4.com/game/janey-thomson-s-marathon/play.e4

-------------------------------------------------

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
Twice the "funny" twice the unmitigated shit

* CHINESE FOOTBALLER - his parents scored an
own goal with this name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Shouting

* PC DICK COCKHEAD - we're still struggling to
believe this can be real.
https://twitter.com/jonnypelham/statuses/228174424094957568

-------------------------------------------------

: FOLLOW FRIDAY
@KimKierkegaard

The philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard mashed with
the tweets and observations of Kim Kardashian.

Sample tweets include

"Lazy day poolside! Best french toast ever. No
other loss can occur so quietly as the loss of
one's self."

"Good morning Miami! Here everything lies naked
and visible before God, and consciousness has
nowhere to hide."

"My soul always turns back to the Old Testament
& Shakespeare. They hate, love, murder their
enemies. What could be more summery than that?"
https://twitter.com/KimKierkegaard

FYI: We've just looked up Søren Kierkegaard
trying to find some fun facts. There are none.
Not one.

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* WHAT TO DO WITH FOXNEWSUK? ASCII Cat writes,
"A year ago I registered FoxNewsUk.Com and
it's just come up for renewal - I'm paying $10
a year to keep this going, so I've switched it
to mirror a website about foxes, but I wonder
if any B3ta readers can think of another use
for it?" If you've got some ideas then make
sure you tell us.

Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.

Things we'd really like to see include

* COOKIE CUTTER - Alistair Coleman writes, 'A
"YES, I ACCEPT YOUR COOKIE POLICY" APP - We're
already sick to death of "accepting cookies" on
every single website we visit, on every single
browser, on every single device. Somebody make
something that will make it all go away.'

* TEETH THAT DON'T GET STAINED - we clean our
teeth, we floss, we don't smoke, so why do we
keep having to go the dental hygienist to stop
our teeth going brown? It's not fair.

* RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES THAT DON'T NEED
RECHARGING - they are such a fucking pain.

TOP TIP:
Defecate by contracting your abdominal muscles,
causing intra-abdominal pressure to increase,
lowering your perineal wall, causing the ano
rectal angle to decrease from 90 degrees to
less than 15 degrees and relaxing your external
anal sphincter. If possible, sit on a toilet
first. Sorry, should've mentioned that earlier.
( Zuowan)

I don't necessarily agree with everything I say. - Marshall McLuhan

I never know how much of what I say is true. - Bette Midler

I have nothing intelligent to say. - Meg Tilly, when approached by a TV reporter asking questions on her way into the 1997 Oscar ceremonies.

I am not denying anything I did not say. -Brian Mulrooney

I really didn't say everything I said. - Yogi Berra

I'm a meathead. I can't help it, man. You've got smart people and you've got dumb people. - Keanu Reeves

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Examples of "DoubleSpeak"

From the Quarterly Review of Doublespeak

A reader reports that when the patient died, the attending doctor recorded the following on the patient's chart: "Patient failed to fulfill his wellness potential."

Another doctor reports that in a recent issue of the American Journal of Family Practice fleas were called "hematophagous arthropod vectors."

The letter from the Air Force colonel in charge of safety said that rocket boosters weighing more than 300,000 pounds "have an explosive force upon surface impact that is sufficient to exceed the accepted overpressure threshhold of physiological damage for exposed personnel." In other words, if a 300,000-pound booster rocket falls on someone, he or she is not likely to survive.

A reader reports that the Army calls them "vertically deployed anti-personnel devices." You probably call them bombs.

At McClellan Air Force base in Sacramento, California, civilian mechanics were placed on "non-duty, non-pay status." That is, they were fired.

A personal ad from an unidentified mewspaper announces that a "formerly single man" seeks a single or married woman.

After taking the trip of a lifetime, our reader sent his twelve rolls of film to Kodak for developing (or "processing," as Kodak likes to call it) only to receive the following notice: "We must report that during the handling of your twelve 35mm Kodachrome slide orders, the films were involved in an unusual laboratory experience." The use of the passive is a particularly nice touch, don't you think? Nobody did anything to the films; they just had a bad experience. Of course our reader can always go back to Tibet and take his pictures all over again, using the twelve replacement rolls Kodak so generously sent him.

The description on the package of Stouffer's Veal Tortellini with Tomato Sauce says it contains "exquisite egg pasta." The list of ingredients, however, includes "cooked noodle product."

In St. Louis there is an oriental rug store that advertizes "semi-antique" rugs.

The Minnesota Board of Education voted to consider requiring all students to do some "volunteer work" as a prerequisite to high school graduation.

Senator Orrin Hatch said that "capital punishment is our society's recognition of the sanctity of human life."

According to the tax bill signed by President Reagan on December 22, 1987, Don Tyson and his sister-in-law Barbara run a "family farm." Their "farm" has 25,000 employees and grosses $1.7 billion a year. But as a "family farm" they get tax breaks that save them $135 million a year.

Scott L. Pickard, spokesperson for the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, calls them "ground-mounted confirmatory route markers." You probably call them road signs, but then you don't work in a government agency.

It's not "elderly" or "senior citizens" anymore. Now it's "chronologically experienced citizens."

According to the FAA, the propeller blade didn't break off, it was just a case of "uncontained blade liberation."

Submitted by Jenny J.

Rec'd from Bill Kruse:

When a Professional Bull Rider suffered three cracked vertebrae and a broken collar bone after having been bucked an enraged 1,800 pound animal, the medical authorities attributed his injuries to "aggravated bovine ejection."
No joke!

"The only reason to have money is to tell any SOB in the world to go to hell." - Humphrey Bogart, American actor

La la la solar panels are great

Did you know that spending £5k to £7.5k on
solar panels could save you from £16k to £35k
over 25 years? Also you'll still be able to
turn on the lights after the zombie apocolypse
/ financial meltdown. Maybe. Anyway, if you
want a quote with no obligation to buy then

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK

>> MMORPG song <<
"I wrote an epic song about losing a friend to
computer games (with @superpowerless &
@Peepholecircus)," types your Ginger Furher. "I
know I've been a constant cheerleader for
technology but even I'm worried that replacing
real friendship with virtual friendships isn't
good for us."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIMXKLWcx1g

>> Nervous Wildebeest <<
"Two wildebeest think about crossing a river,"
explains Bewley. Perhaps they should think
again?
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Wildebeest_new_and_corrected

>> Urban Suspense <<
"Here's a lady going through a terrifying
ordeal, which you may be familiar with,"
intones kfk. Sent a shiver of recognition down
our spines. Which makes us sound like timid
hedgehogs. Imagine us that way if you prefer.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Urban_Suspense

>> The Flatulence Syndrome <<
Star Trek fartfoolery from Black Moon. You love
it. Heaven help us, you absolutely love this
stuff. (We like it too.)
http://www.b3ta.com/links/The_Flatulence_Syndrome

>> Reading Fifty Shades of Grey <<
Ornsack tackles the erotic masterpiece of our
times. "This video could be the strangest thing
I've ever made," he confesses.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Reading_Fifty_Shades_of_Grey

>> Incredibly frustrating 60-second game <<
"Use your arrow keys to navigate the
constantly-changing pathways. Get to the end of
each path before it shifts. Can you make it
through a whole minute?" asks yanmania. Well,
can you, punk? (Answer: probably not, because
it's really, really hard)
http://www.yanmania.com/games/sixty_second_search/

-------------------------------------------------

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Burning in Hell

Last week we asked you to confess the reason
you'd burn in hell when the last trump called.
A surprising number of these involve Down's
Syndrome:
http://b3ta.com/questions/burninhell/

* F.A.B. - "I decided to have a 15-minute break
from work, after dealing with some complaints,
to get some fresh air. As I was milling about
in the car park, one of the local
automated-wheelchair driving women pulled up in
her modded people carrier. She parks not too
far from me, presses a few buttons and her car
starts to slide open, revealing a side-lift.
She rolls on, presses another button and slowly
begins her descent. Nowt really funny about
this tbh... until another worker passed by. His
mobile went off. And played, as loud as you
like, the fucking Thunderbirds theme tune. I
nearly asphyxiated. She wasn't impressed."
(Jeccius)

* FINGER - "The sun was blazing off the
windscreens of passing cars, the sky was clear,
it was a good day to be driving on our fair
nation's motorways. Ahead of me was a coach,
the kind used to ferry airport-goers and the
elderly, in the middle lane. As I came to
overtake, I saw a fairly familiar sight: a
bunch of school kids leering out the back
window, exercising their wrists in a manner
designed to imply that I was a wanker. I'm an
easy-going, devil- may-care kind of guy, but
that glorious day I was having none of it. So,
as I approached I extended my left arm, keeping
my eyes of the road of course, and delivered a
steady and determined middle finger that Johnny
Cash would have been proud of. As I passed, I
glanced upward at its steamed windows, to see a
group of smiling children with Down's waving
excitedly at me... My attempt to morph my bird
into a reciprocated wave was the epitome of
patheticness. Funny how wrong you can be with
the sun in your eyes." (Jimtastic)

* IKEA - "I once ordered a lemonade at a cafe
in an IKEA. They gave me the cup at the
check-out to serve myself from the dispenser. I
put in some ice and filled my plastic 500ml cup
with soft drink mix. Unfortunately, I filled it
too close to the brim for easy transportation.
I took a couple of refreshing sips to lower the
level in the cup. At this point I could have
just walked away. Some nights I lie in bed
racked with remorse asking again and again:
'Why? Why didn't I just walk away?' But a
horrible plan had formed, driven by all-
consuming greed. I didn't care who I destroyed,
how many laws I broke. I checked the ladies at
the register. Busy. I looked up. No CCTV. My
heart pounding, I returned and TOPPED UP MY
DRINK AGAIN WITH MORE LEMONADE THAN I HAD PAID
FOR. Exiting rather too quickly I spilled a
little, probably losing more than I had
illegally gained. Even in my car I wasn't safe
until at least a few miles away. The drinks
holder was too small for the cup, so I drank
the whole thing too quickly to really enjoy it.
It's a crime I've had to live with for the rest
of my days. I never went back to that IKEA
again. I can't; the risk is too great. I'd
gambled and won, but if they recognised me, I
could lose everything." (cumquat may)

>> This Week - Tantrums <<
After certain members lost it a bit last week
over garden sheds, we though we'd ask for your
stories of adults and children acting like,
well, children. Wail and stomp here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/tantrums/

-------------------------------------------------

: AMAZON TAT
It's a big shop of shit BUT WITH COMMENTS

* HELPING THE RETARDED TO KNOW GOD: A guide for
Christian teachers of the mentally handicapped.
Reviews include the cheery, "Cognitive
disability is one of the effects of religion.
If you want your child to become mentally
retarded, by all means indoctrinate them into a
religion" and "It wasn't quite heavy enough to
do the trick."
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006CAG4M/b3ta-21

* £1,638 WOODEN PINOCCHIO TOY - Mr Trinder
writes, "Price is clearly a mistake, comments
are lovely."
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0058BDOBI/b3ta-21

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Blade Runner magazine covers <<
Intriguing gallery of retro-futuristic magazine
covers, used in the background of a single
scene of 1982's Blade Runner. Amazing attention
to detail.
http://bit.ly/M0c8xf

>> Sports TV lies to you <<
Turns out UEFA has been spicing up 'live' games
with a bit of pre-shot footage, to the
widespread, and unconvincing, shock of various
broadcasters. There's every chance the Olympics
will be getting the same reality TV treatment.
http://deadsp.in/NG1Kq1

>> Super-resolution images <<
Since the birth of the internet, man has
struggled to turn shitty little jpegs, with no
detail, into glorious wall-concealing posters
for his student hovel. This is impressive stuff.
http://www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~vision/SingleImageSR.html

>> How to paint a 150ft tall Batman <<
The side of a tower block, regularly
transformed into a titanic movie poster. Who
does it - and how?
http://bit.ly/NmRkQw

>> Sinclair BASIC redux <<
Nostalgic nerds rejoice! Sinclair BASIC is back
and badder than ever. And now, no attribute
clash! Yeah! In your fucking face, Commodore
BASIC!
https://sites.google.com/site/pauldunn/

>> Make a private computer screen <<
Turn an old LCD into a monitor that only you
can read, with an afternoon, a bit of ingenuity
and some old 3D glasses.
http://bit.ly/M0ccgJ

>> That big event in London <<
Tote bags that tell people what you really
think of the Olympics. Although, of course, it
doesn't mention the Olympics - or Lord Coe
would chop off their heads.
http://thatbigeventinlondon.co.uk/

>> Some dipshit "web guru" <<
Top tip - never let yourself be billed as a
'social media expert', if you haven't already
registered your name as a domain. Also...
Twitter. Blurgh. Disaster.
http://www.lukebozier.com/

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but the aerial gives you cancer. Possibly

>> Wanking London <<
Very silly part-animated tour of London
landmarks. And pretty much what you might
expect from the title.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Wank_London

>> Interviewing Danny Dyer... on acid <<
Vice reporter interviews Danny Dyer while under
the influence of powerful, new hallucinogen
lysergic acid diethylamide. Charmingly
shambolic.
http://bit.ly/OpfOct

>> Hero animation <<
Bonnie Tyler's "I Need a Hero" realised as a
claymation fantasy epic. Great soundtrack,
bonkers visuals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36n-XzgsvJM

>> Kitten attack <<
Cute baby cat once again massively
overestimates its own abilities. Honestly, it's
a wonder any of them get to grow up. We tested
this out on a 3 y/o boy who made us play this
clip 15 times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-CeXxaW348

>> One Hand <<
Amusingly immature homage to Alanis Morrisette.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Immature:2

-------------------------------------------------

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
It's always funny in Paedophilia

Gibell writes, "I am not usually one for daft
names but I had to smile at the lighting guy's
name in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.
Brilliant programme as well."
http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0649628/

-------------------------------------------------

: ADVANCED PEDANTRY CORNER

"Maybe I can get something in the Top Tippage
that may both help humanity and also get
something off my chest and into the open, where
it can hopefully have an end put to it once and
for all?" inquires Hen. "Perhaps it can one day
produce similar righteous fury amongst pedants
as the misplaced apostrophe.

"Copy writers: instead of placing the prefix
'pre-' in front of a verb that already
describes an action that's carried out in
advance (i.e. pre-order), why not go and slam
your typing hand in the heaviest door you can
find? While the bones are healing you can think
more deeply about the folly you were about to
commit."

Which definately begs the question, is there
enough pedant's out there to commence starting
a regular feature on rediculous pedanticism?
Surely there can't be alot of mistakes on the
internet, so the point is mute.

-------------------------------------------------

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Self-Portrait Challenge

Last week we told you go depict yourselves.

Your favourites included:

* PORK: space-travelling captain thrusts cured
pig parcel (ham o' shatner - spelt correctly
this week!)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10806696

* NUCLEAR: tight-trousered viking displays
disturbing contents of desk (atomic)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10807388

* CODE: time's cruel passage, as depicted via
the medium of cascading style sheet (monkeon)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10806780

All these images, and the highest as voted by
you can be found here:
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/SelfPortrait/

>> New challenge: Sheds <<
Let's photoshop sheds. Sheds in the Olympics.
Sheds manning machine gun posts in the trenches
of the Great War. Sheds sweeping in majestic
herds across the horizon, sheds on pogo sticks
and sheds taking tents up the wrong'un.
Challenge suggested by boris the spider.
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/sheds/

BTW: Official Image Challenge chap Fraser Lewry
has until recently been working for The Word, a
fantastic music magazine that's sadly closed
down. Read this glowing tribute to him from his
ex-boss where he's described as the 'digital
Jeeves'.
http://bit.ly/O2Jyt0

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* YOU PARK LIKE A CUNT stickers and ticket
books are now available to the masses. "I ummed
and ahhed about whether or not I should post
this," agonises long-time b3tan Fray Bentos,
who is now selling the tools you need to let
people know what you think of their abysmal
parking. "I hope this isn't seen a cynical
attempt to get people to buy the site's stuff,
because it is. Well, a bit maybe."
http://bit.ly/MzgKL1

* RTJ'S EDINBURGH SHOW - "I'm taking my debut
solo show 'Richard Tyrone Jones's Big Heart' to
the Edinburgh Fringe and then on tour round the
UK," informs Richard Tyrone Jones. "It's got a
bit of a serious message about how I almost
died of heart failure despite being thirty and
well buff, and will hopefully serve the purpose
of educating people about their dicky tickers.
If, by spending two years, 50 grand, and my few
remaining grey cells on it, I can save just one
life... it really won't be worth the bother. So
I made the show free. In Edinburgh."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T042EMs_Og

* HANSI LOVES THE SWASTIKA - The rather
alarming Nazi-to-Christian kids' book we
featured last week turns out to be... a real
person's autobiography! How rare! Thanks to
Jeff for the tip-off.
http://hansiministries.org/bio.htm

* BAD ACID INFO - "Your advice to take 5mg of
LSD to alleviate the boredom of watching paint
dry is slightly misleading," corrects
ifrypuppies. "0.5mg of LSD would produce the
most enthralling psychedelic hallucinations.
5mg would send you on a mind-melting, Fear and
Loathing rollercoaster ride over the cuckoo's
nest." Well, uh, you need to build up a
tolerance, dearie.

-------------------------------------------------

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE

Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.

Things we'd really like to see include

* WHAT'S THAT NOISE QUIZ - take thousands of
sounds from an opensource SFX site like
freesound.org and make a quiz. Is this: A. A
tap dripping B. A penis dripping

* STRAW-MAN CHROME PLUG-IN - a user-editable
database that shows all the bullshit arguments
used by newspaper columnists, whilst you are
reading. 'Citation needed' and 'weasel words'
could be nabbed from Wikipedia too.

* A BUTTON THAT TURNS OFF THE INTERESTING BITS
OF THE INTERNET WHEN THERE'S WORK TO DO - we're
constantly sticking Twitter on block via
OpenDNS but then we find ourselves sneaking
round it, via sites that use the API etc. So
we're probably really asking for a button to
turn off the procrastinatory portion of the
human brain.

Send contributions via the mail form.
http://www.b3ta.com/mailus/

BTW: If you've sent something in that hasn't
been featured then don't be put off - we look
at everything you send us.

QUOTES ABOUT COUNTRIES

Canada is a country so square that even the female impersonators are women. - Richard Brenner

It's easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time. - Philip Dunne

The French are sawed-off sissies who eat snails and slugs and cheese that smells like people's feet. Utter cowards who force their own children to drink wine, they gibber like baboons even when you try to speak to them in their own wimpy language. - P. J. O'Rourke

You can always reason with a German. You can always reason with a barnyard animal, too, for all the good it does. - P. J. O'Rourke "Holidays in Hell"

The problem with Ireland is that it's a country full of genius, but with absolutely no talent. - Hugh Leonard

I drink to make other people interesting. --George Jean Nathan

They who drink beer will think beer. --Washington Irving

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. --For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemmingway

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. --Dean Martin

All right, brain, I don't like you and you don't like me - so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. --Homer Simpson
