Strange Quotes:
"Q: "What has recording alone taught you?"
Paul McCartney: "That to make your own decisions about what you do is easy, and playing with yourself is very difficult but satisfying."
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
"I think that 'Clueless' was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it is true lightness." – Alicia Silverstone!
"A wok is what you throw at a wabbit." unknown
"RENTAL CAR: The only *TRUE* all-terrain vehicle". --known - but unidentified
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Singing the Blues - The Do's and Don'ts
THE WHYS AND WHEREFORES OF THE BLUES:
If you're new to Blues music, or you like it but never really understood the whys and wherefores, here are some very fundamental rules:
1. Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..."
2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then, find something that rhymes -- sort of:
Got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weigh 500 pound."
4. The Blues is not about choice. "You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch...ain't no way out."
5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs, and broken-down trucks.
Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles.
Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the Blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet.
Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
7. Blues can take place in New York City, but not in Hawaii or anywhere in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle are probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, and N'awlins are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the Blues in any place that don't get rain.
8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the Blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is.
9. You can't have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
10. Good places for the Blues:
a. highway,
b. jailhouse,
c. empty bed,
d. bottom of a whiskey glass.
11. Bad places for the Blues:
a. Nordstrom's,
b. gallery openings,
c. Ivy League institutions,
d. golf courses.
12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it.
13. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if:
a. you're older than dirt,
b. you're blind,
c. you shot a man in Memphis,
d. you can't be satisfied.
No, if:
a. you have all your teeth,
b. you were once blind but now can see,
c. the man in Memphis lived,
d. you have a 401 K or trust fund.
14. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the Blues. Sonny Liston could have. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the Blues.
15. If you ask for water and your darlin' gives you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are:
a. cheap wine,
b. whiskey or bourbon,
c. muddy water,
d. black coffee.
The following are NOT Blues beverages:
a. Perrier,
b. Chardonnay,
c. Snapple,
d. Slim Fast.
16. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broken-down cot.
You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
17. Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie,
b. Big Mama,
c. Bessie,
d. Jennie.
18. Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe,
b. Willie,
c. Little Willie,
d. Big Willie.
19. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
20. Blues Name Starter Kit:
a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.),
b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Peach, etc.),
c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.).
For example: Blind Lemon Jefferson, Pegleg Lime Johnson, or Cripple Peach Fillmore, etc.
21. I don't care how tragic your life is; if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues, period. Sorry.

Strange Quotes:
"Q: "What has recording alone taught you?"
Paul McCartney: "That to make your own decisions about what you do is easy, and playing with yourself is very difficult but satisfying."
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." - Mark Twain
"I think that 'Clueless' was very deep. I think it was deep in the way that it was very light. I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it is true lightness." – Alicia Silverstone!
"A wok is what you throw at a wabbit." unknown
"RENTAL CAR: The only *TRUE* all-terrain vehicle". --known - but unidentified
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Singing the Blues - The Do's and Don'ts
THE WHYS AND WHEREFORES OF THE BLUES:
If you're new to Blues music, or you like it but never really understood the whys and wherefores, here are some very fundamental rules:
1. Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..."
2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then, find something that rhymes -- sort of:
Got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weigh 500 pound."
4. The Blues is not about choice. "You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch...ain't no way out."
5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs, and broken-down trucks.
Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles.
Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the Blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet.
Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
7. Blues can take place in New York City, but not in Hawaii or anywhere in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle are probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, and N'awlins are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the Blues in any place that don't get rain.
8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the Blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is.
9. You can't have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.
10. Good places for the Blues:
a. highway,
b. jailhouse,
c. empty bed,
d. bottom of a whiskey glass.
11. Bad places for the Blues:
a. Nordstrom's,
b. gallery openings,
c. Ivy League institutions,
d. golf courses.
12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it.
13. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if:
a. you're older than dirt,
b. you're blind,
c. you shot a man in Memphis,
d. you can't be satisfied.
No, if:
a. you have all your teeth,
b. you were once blind but now can see,
c. the man in Memphis lived,
d. you have a 401 K or trust fund.
14. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the Blues. Sonny Liston could have. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the Blues.
15. If you ask for water and your darlin' gives you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are:
a. cheap wine,
b. whiskey or bourbon,
c. muddy water,
d. black coffee.
The following are NOT Blues beverages:
a. Perrier,
b. Chardonnay,
c. Snapple,
d. Slim Fast.
16. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broken-down cot.
You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
17. Some Blues names for women:
a. Sadie,
b. Big Mama,
c. Bessie,
d. Jennie.
18. Some Blues names for men:
a. Joe,
b. Willie,
c. Little Willie,
d. Big Willie.
19. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.
20. Blues Name Starter Kit:
a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.),
b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Peach, etc.),
c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.).
For example: Blind Lemon Jefferson, Pegleg Lime Johnson, or Cripple Peach Fillmore, etc.
21. I don't care how tragic your life is; if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues, period. Sorry.

Strange Sports Announcer Quotes:
Here are some comments made by sports commentators that I'm sure they would like to take back:
Weightlifting commentator at the Olympic Snatch and Jerk Event: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
Grand Prix Race Announcer: "The lead car is absolutely, truly unique, except for the one behind it which is exactly identical to the one in front of the similar one in back."
Greg Norman, Pro Golfer: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
Ringside Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing - but none of them really that serious."
Baseball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) "A Quiz For People Who Know Everything"
(1) There's one "sport" in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends. What is it?
(2) What famous North American landmark is constantly moving backward?
(3) Of all vegetables, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. What are the only two perennial vegetables?
(4) Name the only sport in which the ball is always in possession of the team on defense, and the offensive team can score without touching the ball?
(5) What fruit has its seeds on the outside?
(6) In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
(7) Only three words in standard English begin with the letters "dw." They are all common. Name two of them.
(8) There are fourteen punctuation marks in English grammar. Can you name half of them?
(9) Where are the lakes that are referred to in the "Los Angeles Lakers?"
(10) There are seven ways a baseball player can legally reach first base without getting a hit. Taking a base on balls-a walk-is one way. Name the other six.
(11) It's the only vegetable or fruit that is never sold frozen, canned, processed, cooked, or in any other form but fresh. What is it?
(12) Name six or more things that you can wear on your feet that begin with the letter "S."
"Answers To Quiz"
1. Boxing.
2. Niagara Falls. The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute.
3. Asparagus and rhubarb.
4. Baseball.
5. Strawberry.
6. The pear grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the whole growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
7. Dwarf, dwell, and dwindle.
8. Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses.
9. In Minnesota. The team was originally known as the Minneapolis Lakers and kept the name when they moved west.

17 things only Polish people living in the
UK will understand
Basically Polish people are pretty amused that
British taps are so shite - and this is a well
researched list of observations that'll make you
see the UK through different eyes.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
Other than farting on cushions
* DRUNK ROBOTS - Blackmoon has edited the
'robots falling over' footage, "to look more
like the accidents were drink induced."
http://bit.ly/hey-hey-its-the-alcobots
* 250 HORROR MOVIES IN 5 MINUTES - Mr
Eraserhead writes, "I've spent the last couple
of months putting this compilation of horror
movie moments together. All of them from my
personal DVD collection. Contains a fair amount
of blood and guts."
http://www.b3ta.com/links/250_Horror_Movies_in_5_Minutes
* NUCLEAR HOLIDAY - Admiral Crunch writes, "I
enjoy going on hols to places that are, well, a
bit off the beaten track. So I thought, if I can
survive Korea, then I can easily survive
Chernobyl."

-------------------------------------------------
: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
* 50 SHADES OF FLASHHEART - making Mr Grey much
more likeable by reimagining him being played by
Rik Mayall.
http://50shadesofflashheart.tumblr.com/
* REGIONAL BFI FILMS - Put in your hometown or
somewhere equally shit and the BFI will serve up
one of their archive fillums about that place.
11 clips for Wolverhampton. Mostly about the
council. YAY!
http://player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/map/
* CAMDEN PHOTOS, THEN AND GO - a collection of
Facebook pics featuring NW London about 100
years ago versus what they looks like now.
Fascinating, so much of mankind's energy is
devoted to fiddling with the facades of shops.
(You'll need to be logged into Facebook for this
link to work.)

* IT'S A HOT DAY, SO 'BLOW AIR' ON THE LION -
wish we had one of these in the office. Well,
not the lion.

: YOUR GUIDE TO LONDON UNDERGOUND CODES
Yep, code 2 = poo
Code 1: Blood
Code 2: Urine/Faeces
Code 3: Vomit
Code 4: Spillage
Code 5: Broken Glass
Code 6: Litter
(Thanks Londonist for this - we just googled it
as we heard a 'code 2' at Bank.)
-------------------------------------------------
: STUFF TO READ
Shove this stuff in your eye-holes
* RUSSIAN 'TROLL' AGENCY - in-depth report on a
web misinformation campaign. Frightening to
think how much of this shite might go on.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/magazine/the-agency.html
* HERMIT IN THE WOODS - interesting read about a
bloke who went into the woods and didn't
reappear until 27 years later. A few mental
issues and whatnot, but overall surprisingly
lucid and logical.

Follow @b3ta on Twitter - if only because we
occasionally dig out old, obscene stories and stick
them on photographs of Thatcher.

-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but with a big chicken hat. Maybe.
* KLF ADVERT - An oddly glorious shot for shot
remake of 3 AM Eternal to promote a Swedish
pension company. We put messages to Bill &
Jimmmy to ask if this was authorised and got
nothing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfF8ymtxWG8
* BRETT DOMINO TEACHES ALED JONES TO RECORD
'JUMP AROUND' ON AN IPAD - an enjoyable slice of
daytime TV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzRU9mXtDTA
* 10 YEARS AGO R. KELLY RELEASED 'TAPPED IN THE
CLOSET' - we watched this again in tribute. If
you never saw it, then the Adam & Joe review is
a pretty good start.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTaCoEufViQ
* DROPPED SHOVEL SOUNDS LIKE NIRVANA - finally a
sequel to the 'tube gate that sounds like Blur's
Song 2' thingie.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/dropped_shovel_sounds_like_nirvana
* THE NEIGHBOURS UPSTAIRS AND THOSE STRANGE
NOISES THEY MAKE - living in a small flat, this
made a lot of sense to us.

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Festival Tales
Last week we wanted your Festival Tales Your
favourites can be found here:
http://http://b3ta.com/questions/festivalsII/
Here's a selection of our favourites:
* FENCE CLIMBING Years ago, a mate and I got
caught climbing the fence at Glastonbury. They
made us go back inside and watch the rest of
Coldplay. (Joy Division Oven Gloves)
* SNAKE - I got a job working in the first Rock
above the falls festival. It was badly
organised, despite some larger bands like
Blondie playing there. I was given a Hi Vis vest
but given no other instruction about what to do.
So I smoked pot and sort of just hung around
hoping to chat with some of the bands backstage.
I was crossing the fields between tents and the
stage when people started screaming. A brown
snake, about 2m long, had been spotted right
amongst the punters. People turned to me. Now
I'm pretty live and let live when it comes to
wildlife, but this was Australia and the buggers
are poisonous. I wrenched a star picket out of
the ground with the intention of clubbing the
slithering bastard to death. I went for a big
overhead whack and missed it completely, it rose
up and back coiling for a strike but fortunately
my next blow connected and broke it's spine (it
being mostly spine), and then the hippy druggy
onlookers were treated to watching me stoving in
its head to a bloody mess for good measure. I
dropped its lifeless body in the bin. Took no
joy from the whole incident. (cumquat may)
* OLD MAN RAVER - Went to a sparsely-attended
rave in Phoenix Of the dozen or so people in
attendance, there was a courtly-looking fellow,
age about 70 - a bit out of place. So, I pointed
towards the stage and asked: "What do you think
of the music?" He thought for a second, and
diplomatically replied: "It's like Sinatra."
(Perv With A Dog)
>> This Week THAT ONE MATE <<
Second Best Porcupine asks, Can we have another
story about that lovable scamp Alan, please? We
all know an Alan. Tell us about that one mate
who can't help but get in to trouble.

>> New challenge: New uses for tools <<
This week we're thinking up new uses for those
tools and gadgets stuck in the back of our
drawers. Take something from the kitchen,
toolbox or shed, use it in ways you shouldn't
and send us the photo evidence. Or just
photoshop someone abusing a lawnmower.
