Strange "Why I'm So Great" quotes:
I'm the Connie Francis of rock 'n' roll. - Elton John
I mean, it's unheard of for somebody to hit 70 home runs, so I'm like in awe of myself right now. - St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire after finishing the baseball season with a two-homer day, giving him a record 70 for the year. Sept. 27, 1998.
I say I'm Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin all wrapped up into one. If I die early ... I'll be just like those guys. - Dennis Rodman, 1997
I'm not an egomaniac like a lot of people say. But I am the world's best dancer, that's for sure. - Michael Flatley
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults. - David Lee Roth
I am a great mayor; I am an upstanding Christian man; I am an intelligent man; I am a deeply educated man; I am a humble man. - Marion Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I'd be a teacher. - Linda Evangelista, 1997
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Kid's Rewrite Old Proverbs
A first grade teacher collected old, well known proverbs. She gave each kid in her class the first half of a proverb, and had them come up with the rest:
As you shall make your bed so shall you... mess it up.
Better to be safe than... punch a 5th grader.
Strike while the... bug is close.
It's always darkest before... daylight savings time.
Never underestimate the power of... termites.
You can lead a horse to water but... how?
Don't bite the hand that... looks dirty.
No news is... impossible.
A miss is as good as a... Mr.
You can't teach an old dog new... math.
If you lie down with the dogs, you'll... stink in the morning.
Love all, trust... me.
The pen is mightier than the... pigs.
An idle mind is... the best way to relax.
Where there's smoke, there's... pollution.
Happy the bride who... gets all the presents!
A penny saved is... not much.
Two's company, three's... the Musketeers.
Don't put off tomorrow what... you put on to go to bed.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and... you have to blow your nose.
None are so blind as... Helen Keller.
Children should be seen and not... spanked or grounded.
If at first you don't succeed... get new batteries.
You get out of something what you... see pictured on the box.
When the blind leadeth the blind... get out of the way.
There is no fool like... Aunt Eddie.

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - A Politically Correct Christmas Poem
A Politically Correct Christmas Poem
Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves",
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the North Pole,
were alleged by the union, to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished without much propriety,
released to the wilds, by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear,
that Santa had better not use just reindeer.
So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!
The runners had been removed from his beautiful sleigh,
because the ruts were deemed dangerous by the EPA,
And millions of people were calling the Cops,
when they heard sled noises upon their roof tops.
Second-hand smoke from his pipe, had his workers quite frightened,
and his fur trimmed red suit was called "unenlightened".
To show you the strangeness of today's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose.
He went to Geraldo, in front of the Nation,
demanding millions in over-due workers compensation.
So...half of the reindeer were gone, and his wife
who suddenly said she'd had enough of this life,
joined a self help group, packed and left in a whiz,
demanding from now on that her title was Ms.
And as for gifts...why, he'd never had the notion
that making a choice could cause such commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur...
Which meant nothing for him or nothing for her.
Nothing to aim, Nothing to shoot,
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls and nothing for just boys.
Nothing that claimed to be gender specific,
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacifistic.
No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish upon the truth.
And fairy tales...while not yet forbidden,
were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden,
for they raised the hackles of those psychological,
who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.
No baseball, no football...someone might get hurt,
besides - playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist and should be passe.
and Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.
So Santa just stood there, disheveled and perplexed,
he just couldn't figure out what to do next?
He tried to be merry he tried to be gay,
but you must have to admit he was having a very bad day.
His sack was quite empty, it was flat on the ground,
nothing fully acceptable was anywhere to be found.
Something special was needed, a gift that he might,
give to us all, without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy - with no indecision,
each group of people in every religion.
Every race, every hue,
everyone, everywhere...even you!
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...
"MAY YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES, ENJOY PEACE ON EARTH"

: THE TRAILER PARK BOYS (SPONSORED LINK)
Community Service Variety Show (live)
Just some hard-working Guys trying to cope with
the new economic world order. The top telly hit
is now coming to London in May in a stage show
and dance routine*

*We think Dirty Burger in Kentish Town is named
in their honour and to be honest this is the
only reason why it has gone in the newsletter.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
>> Kitten based philosophy <<
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1890) originated the
Übermensch - a kind of remote control for Louise
Mensch. Now he's back and this time with more
kittens, @Erocdrahs informs us: "I made an
automated tumblr which adds Nietzsche quotes to
pictures of cats." All we can say is "Dog is
dead, and we have killed him."
http://t.co/vT8YJzJ2
>> Piers Morgan's Mob Trumps <<
Monkeon writes, "Basically, Top Trumps using
the swearing of Twitter hate mobs as data to
prove that Piers Morgan is the most loathed
person on Twitter." He is! He is! How exciting
for our opinions to be on trend for once.
http://www.monkeon.co.uk/mobtrumps/
>> Underwater Ballroom <<
Davideo writes, "This isn't my usual thing but
it blew me away when I heard about it: a
Victorian likeable rogue used investors' money to
build himself a lavish pad including an
underwater ballroom / billiard room, which took
600 men to dig out. I just had to see and
photograph it but, as it's not open to the public,
we had to do it Urbex style." Oh the follies
of the rich. Oh to be rich and make such folly.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Underwater_Ballroom
>> Cliff Richards V Slipknot <<
Pig Face Turnip writes, "Cliff Richards has had
a make over. Made with fellow B3ta man
pibennett." In a better world this would be
Xmas number 1.

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
No Self-Awareness
Last week we wanted stories of life's dreamers,
drifters and armpitty stink farmers who just
don't seem to notice their impact on others. Go
read how Frank Snow lost his job here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/noselfawareness/
* SUSHI - "Back when I was a lazy uni student,
I'd pass the day pleasantly stoned and go get
take-away sushi for lunch. The restaurant was in
a food court in a nearby shopping centre. That
day, in front of the counter were a man in a
tuxedo and a woman in a black cocktail dress.
They were a very beautiful couple with big
smiles. I stood next to them trying to order.
The owner was standing off to the side and,
instead of coming over, he started signaling for
me to come to him, a look of fear on his face.
Ignoring this, I stayed put and yelled that
I'd like the nigiri special. He gave me a funny
look but started to prepare it which, in
hindsight, showed a certain business acumen. I
looked at the couple who were now staring at me
and gave them a friendly smile. There was
something strange about them I couldn't quite
put my finger on, something too perfect and not
quite real. I waited while the owner put
together my sushi, took my money and handed me
the bag. It was only then that I turned
around... and noticed the semi-circle of film
crew, cameras, sound technicians and two really
bright studio lights focused on the couple. Totally
oblivious, I'd walked into a live advertising
shoot and ordered sushi. And the owner had sold
it to me." (cumquat may)
* TONSURE - "Our MD was single for many years
until 2010, when he hit his 50s, lost three
stone and started making an effort to see more
of the world, especially lady parts. He met a
woman who he now lives with. Unfortunately
he's regained the weight and a little more,
developed a perfectly circular bald patch,
allowed his new beau to cut the rest of his
hair, dyed the grey out and has taken part in
Movember. No-one has the heart to tell him that
he looks like a gay paedophile monk." (Munsta)
* SPACE - "I used to know a guy who, although
quite a nice chap had no sense of personal
space. Chatting to him at a party once, I found
myself backing away as he stood closer and
closer to me. Once I reached the wall I was
trapped; he actually stood so close to me I
didn't have room to drink from the glass I was
holding." (Professor Kenny Martin)
>> This Week - MADE ME LAUGH <<
Has anything happened recently that's made you
laugh? We need cheering up, share the joy here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/mademelaugh/
-------------------------------------------------
: BOOK OF THE CENTURY
KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money
Most pop biographies are a dull patchwork of
clippings - this is something else - taking in
the ideas of Jung, Robert Anton Wilson and Alan
Moore, it explores the extraordinary world of
Bill Drummond the man who burnt a million quid in
an act more relevant than ever. "We didn't use
our money to make a comment on art - but our art
to make a comment on money." Read it now, then
burn a lottery ticket whilst listening to Shag
Times and wondering what ideas you are
contributing to the collective unconsciousness.

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> Tom Waits Nyan Cat <<
It's Tom Waits' birthday today - he's 63 - and
what better way to celebrate than with a Nyan Cat
style animation? Also an accurate reproduction of
Tom's visions after a night swallowing his own
alco-shits.
http://nyanwaits.com/
>> Missed high fives <<
The glorious piquancy of someone going for a
high five and it just not happening. Not a
problem for us, as our preferred method of
greeting is the cock punch. Even with children.
http://missedhighfive.tumblr.com
>> Wearable Hummingbird Feeder <<
Celebrate the legalisation of marijuana in
Washington not with the mind-shrinking
suggestions of the local PD - watch Lord of the
Rings and eat pizza - but instead by getting
stoned and engaging in one of the most intense
experiences imaginable: asking a hummingbird to
feed from your face.
http://sheds.ws/11SlkYc
>> Food mosh <<
Compression artefacts are the new shorthand for
reality breaking. When will the first movie be
made where the lead notices visual glitches in
real life and uses them to break through the
programming to find out about the world that
created this one?
http://foodmosh.tumblr.com/
>> The ACME product catalogue <<
Screencaps of those peculiar products so beloved
by baddies in Warner Bros cartoons. We can't
help but feel there are still a few missing
though.

* CHEERFUL BLOKE SINGS SONG - unkmari writes
"I've flagged up stuff by this guy before and he
keeps on coming up with fab and unique vids for
his really catchy songs. Latest is all about
London (and can't get more topical???) with lots
of cheeky references and he has animated it all

start printing a breakdown on their products.
"This coffee is x% tax, x% profit x% wages x%
production" etc.
* CYBER-LINES - at school we'd be disciplined
with lines. Why not a web version for netiquette
errors? 50 times x "I shall not RT praise" for
you sunshine. And no cut and paste.
Send contributions via the mail form.

Infamous FDR Dec. 7, 1941 Quote:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States Of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Naval and Air Forces of the Empire of Japan. It is obvious that planning the attack began many weeks ago, during the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American military forces, I regret to tell you that over three thousand American lives have been lost. No matter how long it may take us to over come this pre-meditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. Because of this unprovoked, dastardly attack by Japan, I ask that the congress declare a state of War.
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - Dec 7, 1941 Japanese Attack Pearl Harbor - Sequence of Events
Sequence of Events
Saturday, December 6 - Washington D.C. - U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt makes a final appeal to the Emperor of Japan for peace. There is no reply. Late this same day, the U.S. code-breaking service begins intercepting a 14-part Japanese message and deciphers the first 13 parts, passing them on to the President and Secretary of State. The Americans believe a Japanese attack is imminent, most likely somewhere in Southeast Asia.
Sunday, December 7 - Washington D.C. - The last part of the Japanese message, stating that diplomatic relations with the U.S. are to be broken off, reaches Washington in the morning and is decoded at approximately 9 a.m. About an hour later, another Japanese message is intercepted. It instructs the Japanese embassy to deliver the main message to the Americans at 1 p.m. The Americans realize this time corresponds with early morning time in Pearl Harbor, which is several hours behind. The U.S. War Department then sends out an alert but uses a commercial telegraph because radio contact with Hawaii is temporarily broken. Delays prevent the alert from arriving at headquarters in Oahu until noontime (Hawaii time) four hours after the attack has already begun.
Sunday, December 7 - Islands of Hawaii, near Oahu - The Japanese attack force under the command of Admiral Nagumo, consisting of six carriers with 423 planes, is about to attack. At 6 a.m., the first attack wave of 183 Japanese planes takes off from the carriers located 230 miles north of Oahu and heads for the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor - At 7:02 a.m., two Army operators at Oahu's northern shore radar station detect the Japanese air attack approaching and contact a junior officer who disregards their reports, thinking they are American B-17 planes which are expected in from the U.S. west coast.
Near Oahu - At 7:15 a.m., a second attack wave of 167 planes takes off from the Japanese carriers and heads for Pearl Harbor.
Pearl Harbor is not on a state on high alert. Senior commanders have concluded, based on available intelligence, there is no reason to believe an attack is imminent. Aircraft are therefore left parked wingtip to wingtip on airfields, anti-aircraft guns are unmanned with many ammunition boxes kept locked in accordance with peacetime regulations. There are also no torpedo nets protecting the fleet anchorage. And since it is Sunday morning, many officers and crewmen are leisurely ashore.
At 7:53 a.m., the first Japanese assault wave, with 51 'Val' dive bombers, 40 'Kate' torpedo bombers, 50 high level bombers and 43 'Zero' fighters, commences the attack with flight commander, Mitsuo Fuchida, sounding the battle cry: "Tora! Tora! Tora!" (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!).
The Americans are taken completely by surprise. The first attack wave targets airfields and battleships. The second wave targets other ships and shipyard facilities. The air raid lasts until 9:45 a.m. Eight battleships are damaged, with five sunk. Three light cruisers, three destroyers and three smaller vessels are lost along with 188 aircraft. The Japanese lose 27 planes and five midget submarines which attempted to penetrate the inner harbor and launch torpedoes.
Escaping damage from the attack are the prime targets, the three U.S. Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers, Lexington, Enterprise and Saratoga, which were not in the port. Also escaping damage are the base fuel tanks.
The casualty list includes 2,335 servicemen and 68 civilians killed, with 1,178 wounded. Included are 1,104 men aboard the Battleship USS Arizona killed after a 1,760-pound air bomb penetrated into the forward magazine causing catastrophic explosions.
In Washington, various delays prevent the Japanese diplomats from presenting their war message to Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, until 2:30 p.m. (Washington time) just as the first reports of the air raid at Pearl Harbor are being read by Hull.
News of the "sneak attack" is broadcast to the American public via radio bulletins, with many popular Sunday afternoon entertainment programs being interrupted. The news sends a shockwave across the nation and results in a tremendous influx of young volunteers into the U.S. armed forces. The attack also unites the nation behind the President and effectively ends isolationist sentiment in the country.
Monday, December 8 - The United States and Britain declare war on Japan with President Roosevelt calling December 7, "a date which will live in infamy..."
Thursday, December 11 - Germany and Italy declare war on the United States. The European and Southeast Asian wars have now become a global conflict with the Axis powers; Japan, Germany and Italy, united against America, Britain, France, and their Allies.
Wednesday, December 17 - Admiral Chester W. Nimitz becomes the new commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Both senior commanders at Pearl Harbor; Navy Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, and Army Lt. General Walter C. Short, were relieved of their duties following the attack. Subsequent investigations will fault the men for failing to adopt adequate defense measures.

Strange Quotes: When Insults Had Class
"He is a self-made man and worships his creator." -- John Bright
"I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." -- Irvin S. Cobb
"He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." -- Samuel Johnson
"He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." -- Paul Keating
"He had delusions of adequacy." -- Walter Kerr
"Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?" -- Mark Twain
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." -- Oscar Wilde
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Zen Sarcasm
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
12. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
13. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
14. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
15. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
16. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
17. Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
18. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
19. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.
20. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
21. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
22. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - Planning For The Football Season in the North & South
Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different than up North. For those who are planning a football trip to the South, here are some helpful hints.
Women's Accessories
NORTH: ChapStick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.
SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's what dates are for.
Stadium Size
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
Fathers
NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.
SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.
Campus Decor
NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.
SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.
Homecoming Queen
NORTH: Also a physics major.
SOUTH: Also Miss America.
Heroes
NORTH: Rudy Giuliani
SOUTH: Bear Bryant, Archie, Eli and Peyton Manning, Bo Jackson
Getting Tickets
NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and purchase tickets.
SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and put name on waiting list for tickets.
Monday Classes After a Saturday Game
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have to prepare for classes on Monday.
SOUTH: Teachers cancel Monday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class.
Parking
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking.
SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.
Game Day
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.
SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting "Game Day Live" to get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why "Game Day Live" is never broadcast from their campus.
Tailgating
NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radio station with truck tailgate down.
SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance by "Dave Matthews' Band," who come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon.
Getting to the Stadium
NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you walk right in.
SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it becomes the state's third largest city.
Concessions
NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.
SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon.
When National Anthem is Played
NORTH! : Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up.
SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony.
The Smell in the Air After the First Score
NORTH: Nothing changes.
SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.
Commentary (Male)
NORTH: "Nice play."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs.."
Commentary (Female)
NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch tackle him and break his legs."
Announcers
NORTH: Neutral and paid.
SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.
After the Game
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, and planning begins for next week's game.
Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the glories of Southern football!

==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - Planning For The Football Season in the North & South
Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically different than up North. For those who are planning a football trip to the South, here are some helpful hints.
Women's Accessories
NORTH: ChapStick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front pocket.
SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's what dates are for.
Stadium Size
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.
Fathers
NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.
SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.
Campus Decor
NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.
SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.
Homecoming Queen
NORTH: Also a physics major.
SOUTH: Also Miss America.
Heroes
NORTH: Rudy Giuliani
SOUTH: Bear Bryant, Archie, Eli and Peyton Manning, Bo Jackson
Getting Tickets
NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and purchase tickets.
SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office on campus and put name on waiting list for tickets.
Monday Classes After a Saturday Game
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because they have to prepare for classes on Monday.
SOUTH: Teachers cancel Monday classes because they don't want to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class.
Parking
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for game parking.
SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.
Game Day
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.
SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting "Game Day Live" to get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why "Game Day Live" is never broadcast from their campus.
Tailgating
NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to local radio station with truck tailgate down.
SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking accompanied by live performance by "Dave Matthews' Band," who come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon.
Getting to the Stadium
NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you walk right in.
SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it becomes the state's third largest city.
Concessions
NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.
SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon.
When National Anthem is Played
NORTH! : Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up.
SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony.
The Smell in the Air After the First Score
NORTH: Nothing changes.
SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.
Commentary (Male)
NORTH: "Nice play."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs.."
Commentary (Female)
NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch tackle him and break his legs."
Announcers
NORTH: Neutral and paid.
SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.
After the Game
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, and planning begins for next week's game.
Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the glories of Southern football!

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Advent calendar, Britishness and video games
>> Amazon Locker Advent calendar <<
"I'm doing a thing with Amazon Lockers, although
it might be a bit London-centric," confesses Tom
Scott. "Every day December 1st–24th, we'll
announce a code to get into an Amazon Locker in
London. First one there wins whatever's inside.
It might be something simple like a Christmas
decoration, a trinket, or some chocolate. But
sometimes, it'll be something big: a toy, good
books... or maybe even an iPod."
http://adventlocker.com
>> Professor Elemental - I'm British <<
"Hello there you lovely folks," chuffs Moog.
"I've done another video for Professor
Elemental. Perhaps you might like this new one
for the song, I'm British. Chin chin!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Professor_Elemental_Im_British
>> Wasted My Time Playing Video Games <<
"This video is from a few years ago," confesses
superpowerless. "But now it's in HD and
Widescreen with a new mix of the song."
Relentlessly inventive vid is definitely worth a
watch.

http://www.gtplanet.net/gtpedia/
-------------------------------------------------
: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Internet Crazies
We wanted to know all about the crazy people
you've met through the internet. Go read the
poem sent to grandmasterfluffles by Archie "Mr
Poet" Moses:
http://b3ta.com/questions/internetcrazies/
* SHOWER - "Advertising for a housemate on
Gumtree resulted in one bloke who came around,
looked about the flat a bit and then asked if he
could try the shower. I thought, "fair enough,
it's an important part of your morning routine."
I stood by while he spent a full five minutes by
the bath, shower head in hand, messing with the
temperature, trying the different settings, etc.
with a look of real concentration on his face.
He emailed back the next day and said he might
be interested, but he wasn't sure. Could he come
back and have another look at the shower?"
(SnowyTheRabbit)
* PUMP - "After weaning her daughter, my
flat-mate decided to get rid of her electric
breast pump, so she put it up on Freecycle. She
was contacted by a man who asked many sensible,
intelligent questions about the machine - it was
clearly something he knew a lot about. Having
satisfied himself that it was the type he
wanted, he said he'd like to have it. "Will it
be yourself or your partner that will be
collecting it?" asked my flatmate. "Oh, it's not
for a partner, it's for me," he replied." (moon
monkey)
* COCK - "My studies of chatroulette have led me
to conclude that the average man on the street,
given anonymity, would by choice either flash
his cock or idly masturbate when meeting you for
the first time." (cumquat may)
>> This Week - NO SELF AWARENESS <<
This week we want your stories of people
blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad
manners and foghorn voices. Tell all:
http://b3ta.com/questions/noselfawareness/
-------------------------------------------------
: AMAZON TAT
Because Amazon knows trolling sells product
* PRODUCT ERRORS - Dear Amazon, a small
complaint. This is not a "luxurious christmas
pudding" but a photo of Ainsley Harriott on a
mug. Actually is there something vaguely racist
about calling Harriot a "luxurious christmas
pudding"? Perhaps how he'd be described on an
escort website.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B009633Q4O/b3ta-21
* VIBRATOR AND DOG BASKET GIFT SET -
Inexplicably linked. Best review? "The vibrator
is great for keeping the wife out of my hair,
but she really resents having to sleep in a dog
bed."
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007QGDKBW/b3ta-20
* METHS - street drinkers still drink meths?
Seems a bit 70s to us, but the reviews are fun:
"From the moment you remove the cap you realise
you're in for a treat. Fresh, bright, smoky,
with a mineral edge and rounded, fruity nose.
Midweight and bold, possessing some edge and no
little bite, yet remaining smooth, balanced and
satisfying. This is a drink to enjoy with
friends in a park. Highly recommended."
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ATI4VG/b3ta-21
-------------------------------------------------
: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> Fake planning notices <<
English humour at its finest, some Brightonian
is writing, printing and putting up these spoof
planning application notices.
http://bit.ly/SyA2iG
>> Convince yourself you're half-blind colour-wise <<
Colour-vision test that has you arrange squares
in order of hue. Harder than it might first
appear - you might be surprised at what you're
missing. (Cue 1,000 emails from nerds bragging
of a perfect score).
http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?pageid=77&lang=en
>> Funny crafting fails <<
Home hobbyists try to recreate lovely craft
stuff they've seen online. We should point out
that loads of these pics are from craftfail.com
but boredpanda has chucked a lot of them onto a
more easily-linkable page.
http://www.boredpanda.com/funny-pinterest-fails/
>> Bad kids' jokes <<
Bloke who edits a site for kid-submitted jokes,
also blogs the ones that were slightly too
offensive for the main site. Surreal, schoolyard
naughtiness.
http://badkidsjokes.tumblr.com/
>> Dan! Dan! Dan! <<
Alan Partridge on a loop. Cringe.
http://dandandan.net/
>> Semi-Automatic Gmail Assistant <<
A safekey-restricted Gmail responder that sends
"Go F*** Yourself!" messages as a response to
unwanted emails. Although there is a 1% chance
that SAGA will instead respond "That's a Great
idea, I'll get right on it!"
http://etsy.me/10aRu0m
-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK #2
Apocalypse calendar, Magic, Gameshow & Monkeys
>> Clockalypse <<
As you may be aware, if everything works
according to schedule, the world will be ending
on December 21st. "It seemed pointless sending
out Christmas cards this year," points out Dave
Birss. "So instead we created the Clockalypse -
a countdown clock that gives people suggestions
to make the most of their remaining breaths. If
the Mayans were wrong, Happy Christmas to you.
If not, enjoy the short time you've got left."
http://clockalypse.com/
>> Mr. Magic's flying secrets <<
Mr. Magic blows the lid off the world of
big-time illusionists, then saws it in half,
then pulls an egg from its ear. Weareace shows
you how to achieve mind-bending special effects.
http://b3ta.com/links/896241
>> Cheeky Flippin Nice gameshow <<
"We grabbed two people from Kentish Town high
street and took them down to a basement," grunts
Pig Face Turnip. "Here's what happened."
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Cheeky_Flippin_Nice_Gameshow
>> Very short monkey documentary <<
Not a film about short monkeys, but genuine
slice of fact-based interest about 19th Century
Russian scientists and cross-breeding with
chimps. "It's a video about monkeys," clarifies
BobbyDaveHead. "Monkeys are awesome."
http://b3ta.com/links/889999
-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Flickbooks now have sound!
>> Extremely tiny meal <<
Almost like an unboxing video, here's a
demonstration of how to combine various powder
sachets and water into an extraordinary, edible
miniature of actual food.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8gJOCwBuFc
>> Hot Chip FIFA video <<
"B3ta, did you see my new vid?" asks King of
Twitter Peter Serafinowicz, who has directed
another peculiar video for Hot Chip. Highly odd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf3bmQh8_dM
>> Africans donating radiators to Norway. <<
Charity song to encourage Africans to raise a
little heat for the less fortunate in Norway.
Obviously, it's more making a point about how
Africa is frequently depicted in charity appeals
and the media.
http://www.africafornorway.no/
>> Mom is a maniac on the drums <<
Woman baffles internet by overcoming the twin
handicaps of being both female and middle-aged
to play a musical instrument rather well. It is
funny, though, to see someone in a pink polo
shirt get quite so into Wipe Out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWSJR2pL46M
>> Best bits of cuntish editor <<
Supercut of horrific, yet marginally believable,
Hoxton new media twat Jonatton Yeah? from Nathan
Barley. We got lost in this and now feel an urge
to watch the whole series again wondering if
some of the jokes vaguely referenced b3ta? The
"Terrorists are gay" bit made us squirm at the
time anyway.
‏http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYBAlqVTZjM
-------------------------------------------------
: FUNNY NAME CORNER
Still shit and we weep for publishing it
* ATTRACTIVE LADY WITH MASTURBATORY NAME -
norval.scott writes, "Been sniggering over this
at work for half an hour. Clearly I need to get
out more. Still - for funny name corner -
Slovakian model, Ivana Vancova" The producers of
Bond should use her in their next movie -
slightly iffy publicity galore.
- http://www.supermodels.nl/ivanavancova
* DOG PENIS - imagine if you were born a dog
with an image of a penis on your back - spinning
eternally trying to hump yourself.
http://imgur.com/gallery/FxjNX
* BEST GYNECOLOGIST NAME EVER - we give you
Harry C Beaver.
https://www.google.com/search?q=dr+harry+beaver

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Animal Tech Challenge
Last week we wanted you to add technology
to animals. Your favourites included:
* SHARK: including improved jet engine
action, albeit with decreased vision
(HumanDescent)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10886100
* MOUSE: household rodent goes space-age,
in space (E Dubya)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10885603

pest meets arcade classic (monkeon)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/10887329
All these images, and the highest as voted by
you can be found here:
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/cyber-toothed-tigers/
>> New challenge: Real Life Movie Posters <<
Lights, camera, action! This week's
challenge is to re-create a famous movie
poster using a single, posed photograph.
Like this amazing example. Challenge
suggested by HappyToast
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/real-life-movie-posters/
-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.
* TEA THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU NEED TO WEE -
ben.broomfield writes, "It's the caffeine in tea
acting as a diuretic, making you want to open
the floodgates. I can suggest Redbush tea which
is caffeine-free. You can have with milk, and
doesn't taste like shit. However, if you've had
five cups, it just depends on how strong your
bladder is..."
* COMPLAINTS - davidnbashore writes, "Your
posting of 'Leaked White House tape' was the
most disrespectful, uncalled-for,
Republican-approved bullshit I've ever seen on
this site, and I've been a subscriber for years.
Well, now I'mm an unsubscriber. Fuck you limey
cunts. You're just jealous of our democracy." So
true. B3ta; Republican supporters and jealous of
America's democracy. Nailed us there.
* EBOOK COVERS - chazz writes, "The Kobo sets
its display to the last-read book cover when it
goes to sleep or turns off." Great idea - Kindle
should nick this pronto.
-------------------------------------------------
: 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:
* UNFAIL ANTI-LOLS - compile a video of your
favourite "unfails". Riding a bike and not
falling off. Walking down road not tripping up
etc.
* WASHING-MACHINE TV CHANNEL - an alternative to
Cbeebies and just as entertaining for small
children. Or at least it entertains ours.
* THE DEATH OF ALL LIVING THINGS - we've just
done the winter clear on the garden: 13 black
bin-liners full of leaves and twigs. FFS nature!
Send contributions via the mail form.

TOP TIP:
Instead of spending good money on anti-ageing
creams and treatment, travel at the speed of
light for a bit. That way when you stop again,
everyone will have aged considerably more than
you will have and you can enjoy the admiring
gasps of your friends.
TOP TIP 2:
Need Christmas gift ideas, but no money? Convert
a lightbulb into an attracti... a quirky vase.
