From Diana, Queen of Hearts

Ian — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:33:04 +0000

I’m a big fan of Twitter. Through it I have acquired design advice, job interviews and technical help. More importantly, it also allows me to follow the adventures of Princess Diana (aka the Queen of ‘Arrrrrts) as she enjoys her time in Heaven, amongst all the other celebrities. Just like when she was with us on earth, she is a constant source of inspiration. Her Twitter account is perfect if, like me, you have too much self respect to buy the Daily Express and read about her there. She also sent me this rather fetching badge. As it came through my door this morning i ran to the door, only to see a white Fiat Uno race away down my street. I shall wear it proudly, always.

Follow DianaInHeaven on Twitter. We miss you, Ma’am.

Parks and Recreation is the Wu-Tang of Comedy

If it was anyone else I’d hate this, but for some reason RZA makes a pretty damn convincing Leslie Knope. Yeah, RZA again in non-RZA-like surroundings.

Parks & Rec. is pretty good, by the way. Now it’s entered season 2 and has stopped feeling like a cheap the Office rip off. It’s characters have, what’cha call it? Character.

People of Walmart is a gallery of failure / awesome

Feel free to delete as applicable. This is the best blog since Goths in hot weather. I’m sure it could happily be extended to ASDA. Maybe on a Saturday morning.

Meow mix is a cute decent into a hellish nightmare

You know that bit in Father Ted during ‘My Lovely Horse’ when Ted has the nightmare with the horse and the sax solo? Well, 0:45.

In Soviet Russia, Cat Caption You!

Aaaaah… Pig iron, your musk is that of glorious industry …

?olcats does exactly what one might expect. Soviet lolcat captioning. I guess it figures, since the Chinese have the musings of Chairman Meow.

Quotation “marks”

It could just be an angry swan

Do you like to cowardly allude to things without actually saying them outright? Do you write for the Daily Mail? Are you confused by punctuation? All of the above?

If so, I’ve found the blog for you: The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.

Super Mario Kart for reals

Ian — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:12:14 +0000

I’ve seen this Remi guy before, kicking footballs at Policemen and stealing their hats etc. Now he’s re-enacting Super Mario Kart. Watch him run away from the police. It can’t be too long before he finally gets a proper ass-kicking!

Let Me Google That For You.com

Here is a site that will no doubt ensure my friends will talk to me even less than they do. Ah, clear concise patronising. Saves nobody time.

Unleash the fury.

Economic downturn has unexpected upside

Ian — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:07:04 +0000

Sure; we’re all about to loose our jobs in this financial maelstrom but at least now we can see some of the guys responsible for this mess suffer a little bit as well. Thank you internet. Step forward Sadguysontradingfloors. A delightful little blog, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Good night sweet lolcats, your time in the sun has come and gone.

Improv Everywhere strike again – Human mirror

Ian — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:24:20 +0000

The agents from Improv Everywhere have pulled off another superb urban prank. This one involved getting identically-dressed twins to sit opposite each other in the subway car, creating a mirror-like effect.

I recommend spending a few minutes looking through the rest of their site. They’ve had some brilliant pranks (‘missions’) in the past. My personal favourite was the much smaller scale suicide jumper mission.
