The floor of eternal stench

So we might as well call AV stench central and have done with it. Not only did someone let rip in front of the film dvds, but mr stinky himself is in position at the listening post. Has been there for some time by the looks of things.

I don't want to shelve there, smells ba-aaad

With the best intentions of socialising

I decided to see a film with friends. The film - Transformers - was as bad as I had anticipated. It was created for preteen boys I think, and made me think very much of terrible 80's action films of yore. It was especially poignant when I saw the preview for Die Hard 4; everything came flooding back.

Most confronting - the transformers pimping out the main character. What was in it for them, hmmm?

Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pay full price, but I wish I could have those hours back.

Sheffield

The flooding in Sheffield sounds horrific for everyone. But I can't help espouse my flatemate's wish - I hope they rescued Def Leppard and the Human League first.

Don't you just hate the way Jesus hijacks everything?

On my usual drab walk through central Dunedin today, I noticed posters had been plastered on bollards all through the octagon.

A hot new Christian act has evidently reached town, and they will no doubt liberate your soul. Their name: Transformer.

You may well imagine I had an involuntary outburst on the street - something blending laughter and suicidal despair. I think you all know why, but I will reiterate. As if it weren't bad enough that Transformers is being sullied by a remedial film, Christians just had to get involved as well. Christians will pervert anything to make it a god reference. Nothing, not even children's television, is sacred.

Anyway, I don't think I will see the band; I bet one of the band members plays the tambourine & thats only cool when you are in Scorpions.

Thunder, thunder

Thundercats!

The image resonates in bad ways

Sometimes it is better to just leave childhood television memories alone - consider this unwholesome publicity photo for the shortlived time travel series Voyagers!

Found

I have been carrying around a scrap of fabric for some days now, with the good intention of typing up the print on it. It came from a broken jacket donated to the op shop. The slogan was just too bizarre to ignore.

It said:

Shibuya TEE
made in tokyo toilet

Thanks Engrish! Thats almost as funny as a good ESOL lyric.
