N.Korea to adopt shania law

July 14, 2008 · No Comments

George W Bush looks set to leave the world stage on an all-time high after talks with North Korea broke down with accusations that there was ‘way too much’ Shania Twain in the negotiations.

Communist military officials were overheard by US agents discussing the possibility of a dastardly plot to wrong foot Mr Bush over proposals that talks should be based on his ‘Country Plan’, a specially designed peace agenda that incorporates line dancing in case ‘folks start talking about serious stuff’.

A senior Bush aide complained, “They was protesting right there in the room, right when Shania sings ‘Man, I feels like a roman”. We heard ‘em talking about their ‘New Korea’ ambitions, ammunitions, what the heck. We jus’ gone have to plum nucularise ‘em now”.

North Korea’s blatant antipathy towards country star Shania Twain has long been a thorn in Mr Bush’s flesh. It was she who brought him comfort in the heady days after 9/11 and the New Orleans disaster with ‘I’m outta here’. In the run up to the Iraq war her mystic guidance in the words ‘That don’t impress me much’ is thought to have formed the basis of his relationship with Gordon Blair.

North Korea forms part of an island off the coast of Peru. Or is expected to soon.

Yak butter soup winner

July 6, 2008 · No Comments

The winner of last month’s comedy soup competition was none other than Rod Emu of Hull who sent in this delicious summer recipe best served cold.

Ingrediente:
12 barrels finest yak dripping
A pinch of milled grist
152 lbs “Dawkins Reserve” curry powder
Tar

Methode:

Ritually tar the vassals and get them to wash a suitable vessel. Heat 11 barrels of dripping, gently stirring the Dawkins as you wonder about croutons, yaks and that 12th barrel. Bring to boil and add pinch of grist to taste. Serve with abandon.

Well done Rod, we’ll be sending you some counterfeit M&S wine vouchers and a pair of complimentary tickets for the Obesity Rollers re-union concert

Next month’s super comp is ‘Poke a celeb’ - Keep an eye out for that one!

Ring roads

July 1, 2008 · No Comments

‘This is a distinctly open-air and boisterous game; it is popular in Birmingham’

(From ‘The Joyous Book Of Singing Games’ by John Hornby)

Interesting fact of the day: Ring roads are so called thanks to Birmingham. In Victorian times, passers-through would often be besieged by mad inhabitants singing ‘Ring o’ Roses’ until a slightly deaf inventor was suddenly inspired to build the first one.

An Obama Nation

June 24, 2008 · No Comments

Quite liked this story

http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s3i37347

The idea of Ahmadinejad and whoever runs Israel these days sitting round a camp fire singing happy songs together needs to be at least tried, surely.

It conjures up a Gary Larsonesque picture of Mid-East leaders, mouths bulging with cowboy dampers, trying to sing along and do actions to “Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham …” before sneaking off to the river banks for a ciggy as the crickets crick and Obama snoozes after a few scout leader Special Brews. Ah yes, I can picture it all now even though I was never in the scouts. Boys together.

Or was that Camp David ?

Idiot child

June 23, 2008 · No Comments

In another existence as a student, this piece by CPE Bach (one of JS Bach’s many children) became the source of a competition to see who could finish fastest. I got ‘rumbled’ during practice by one of my tutors, a blind man who sauntered into the room to ask who it was by. I told him it was CPE to which he replied “Pah! Idiot”.

I was offended by this seeing as it was the one piece I’d managed to learn all the way through and asked why. His response was,  “If you’ve got twenty kids, one of them is bound to be an idiot”.

That’s my Wi-Fi

June 20, 2008 · No Comments

The Women’s Institute are considering whether or not to take legal action after one of their members, Fiona McMac, was approached by lawyers for The Internet & IT Generally demanding she hand over her nickname of Wi-Fi.

“The first I knew about it was when I got a comment on my web site asking if I would pose nude for their calendar. I really had no idea there was such thing as an internet, let alone technology” said Mrs McMac’s husband Donald. “We don’t normally get much in the way of corporate wrangling in the village so it caused quite a stir down at the Fuschia Club AGM. Personally I’ve got no opinion really”.

Mrs McMac stands to lose anything up to 30 trillion US dollars, money she claims she would never be able to get hold of despite living in a rural idyll. “What chance would I have?” she asks, “They closed the Post Office months ago”.

Internet & IT Generally lawyer Bill Ver.2.0 said, “When she is forced to hand over her nickname it will represent a victory for the hard-pressed multinational conglomerates who have a history of being disadvantaged by so-called ‘little people’ having the monopoly on common sense and all the other stuff we’ll be going after”.
