So you make a point of giving Rob Liefeld props then?"

Oh, I did that first. The bank is on the way to school, anyway.

As soon as the cheque clears I'll be reveling in having a two-digit VISA balance instead.

I don't listen to Radio 2 (I do listen to Radio 4 in the mornings though) so I haven't experience Terry Wogan's show. But I love his Eurovision Song Contest commentaries. Wonderfully piss-takey without being too harsh.

"Listening to Terry was always a slightly surreal experience. I remember when he picked The Floral Dance, by the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band (excuse any misspellings) to be his record of the week, and then ended up singing vocals over it every morning. It made breakfast more interesting because there was always the possibility that you were still asleep and dreaming this.

Vagabond, great stuff!

Bevis wrote:

"Ah, Terry is still like that Mike. It almost all makes perfect sense, but not quite. Plus he plays people like Eddie Reader and Tori Amos, which is a good thing in my book. Mind, he does also have a tendency to play Simply Red which is not a good thing.

And the difference between Rob Liefield and Terry Wogan is that Terry Wogan is actually good at being not very good. Leifield is just bad, and thinks he's good."

No one draws man-breasts like Liefeld.

"You know, one of the great things about this particular boad - and thread - is that instead of listening to Yanquis talking about things I've never heard of, I can listen to Brits talk about things I've never heard of. :)

How about a new contest! Instead of the x thousandth post on the board, let's give a prize to whoever gets post 666 on this thread. Whadaya think?

Sounds cute.
Anyway, if you haven't heard of Liefeld or Wogan, you're better off. Some may be impressed by Wogan's smug, oily charm or air of affable stupidity, or even the fact that he was the first (and probably only) DJ to play Kinky Friedman on the Beeb, but I ain't having it. He's an evil swine, and one of the founding fathers of the oppressive monoculture of smug ironic camp that has strangled all life out of the British media. Looking into his blank, placid expression, one is not confronted with quirky imcompetence: that's the void staring back at you."

I hope the hockey team finds that motherf*cker and shoves a skate up his @ss. Each player. On both teams.

That's winter olympics talk, right?
It's gone pretty quiet in here recently. I could almost think this was the ""Outlaw Nation"" board or something.
Still, there's always narcissism to fall back on. I didn't want to have to do this, but the conversation has dried up and you've driven me to it.

Did you get a tape of the second ""Urban Gothic"" series off this guy then, Mike?"

Mike Carey wrote:

"No, he never came up with the goods, McD, so I still haven't seen it. Are they planning to put them out on video this time around?"

I'd imagine so: the contract I signed mentions that I've been paid for the video rights as well, so it's a fair bet that they plan to. It might take a while, though, because there's been some sort of bust up between Steve Matthews and the production company. I think they have to sort out who owns what first.
Like I said, email me. I can run you off a copy, if you want."

Patriotism aside, my Networking teacher is so cool. He brought us all cookies for after our mid-term exam, because it's St. Valentine's Day.

Isn't that cool?

Happy St. Valentine's, folks."

"That *is* kind of a nice touch.

McD, my ex-colleague sometimes reads these boards, and just called me full of shame. I'm apparently getting three tapes tomorrow, consisting of the whole of season two of UG, plus some season six Buffies.

So your narcissism bore altruistic fruit. :) "

Well, there was only 9 episodes of UG this series, so that's probably quite a lot of Buffy you're getting there."

I don't like tea.
Turns out I inherited this from my Mom.
And yet she didn't bring me up.

Strange thing, genetics, isn't it ?

And don't get me started on cloning cats.

CATS ??
I can understand sheep, because they taste lovely, but CATS ?? As if there aren't enough of the allergenic basts out there !

Is someone cloning cats?

When do they start on sabre toothed tigers?

Or even a woolly mammoth?

Now, that would be cool.

Triple post. Bah, the tea thread needs no such gratuitous padding.
Wasn't someone farting about trying to clone mammoths back in the early 'Eighties and nothing came of it? They can get viable genetic material from the deep frozen carcasses that occasionally turn up in crevasses in Siberia and Alaska. (Supposedly the Siberians used to believe that mammoths were some kind of giant mole that caused earthquakes.)

Mammoth joke:
A nightwatchmen at an industrial estate is suprised when a lorry pulls up outside. He is even more surprised when a wooly mammoth leaps out of the back, bulldozes through the fence Godzilla style and cleans out the warehouses.
The following morning he gives his report, which isn't all that helpful. ""What was the truck's registration?""; ""I'm sorry, but my attention was held by the mammoth and I didn't notice.""; ""Well who made it?""; again, that slipped my attention."": ""Did you even notiuce what colour it was?""; ""Um, no.""
The guy's superior gets desperate. ""Okay then, if you were looking at the mammoth, what type of mammoth was it?""
The guy looks puzzled. His boss sighs in irritation. ""Look, they're like elephants, right? There's two sorts of them. Siberian mammoths have big, smooth ears. Alaskan mammoths have small, crinkled ears. What did the ears look like on the mammoth you saw?""
The hapless nightwatchman leaps to his feet with an exclamation. ""Aha!"" he cries. ""That's why the bloody mammoth was wearing a balaclava!"""

Ok when it was sheep, I laughed & said "" oh they're just cloning around"", but CATS!
This is getting out of control!!

Ok, enough Whimsy. My personal opinion, is this is a lesson we should have learned from Victor Frankenstien's folly!
Obviously, I am not pro-cloning.


BY the way, ever notice what deep discussions we get into here ? pretty good for a comic book discussion baord, huh?
That's why I love this place.

Poppa"

Isn't it strange how little interest there was in the news a cat had been cloned? Apart from ""oh, it's a cat this time"" that is. Apparently the problem with the other cloned animals is that the clones are getting old prematurely and have wonky livers.

Yes Poppa - clones, religions and tea. What a board."
