SuaveStar Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 You won't be disappointed. I couldn't find a Pat Mustard clip on youtube, lots of people doing crappy impressions though. Also, this ones for Stavros: Family's urine bid to locate dog Missing dog Simon Simon is described as timid and "not very approachable" A family who tried to lure back a lost dog by leaving a trail of their urine on streets near their home have been criticised by the city council. The Baltesz family, of Clifton, Bristol, lost their 10-year-old pet labrador Simon on the night of 4 July. When Simon failed to return, the family chose their unorthodox method. A Bristol City Council spokeswoman said: "We would not consider this to be a good idea from an environmental health point of view." Louise Baltesz, 43, said the whole family had been "chipping in" to help lay down the scent trail. She said she was aware of criticism aimed at the family, but they were willing to do anything to get Simon back. 'Very diluted' "There are people who are upset about it, but I'm too emotionally drained to think about it," she said. "I'm worried about it - I really am. "If everyone peed in the street it would be disgusting, wouldn't it? But it's very, very diluted." Jonathan Baltesz, 44, wife Louise, and children Henry, 15 and Clara, 13 The family said they were desperate to get Simon back Mrs Baltesz said the idea for the scent trail came from a website which offered a range of advice to owners of missing dogs. She said: "I do feel mad doing it, but I'm driven to desperate measures. "Apparently it's quite a normal way of doing it. You just put a little bit in a bottle and then top it up with water. "You put some smelly food down, they come towards the food and then catch the scent [of the urine]. You only have to do it once. We've left two trails." 'Owner's scent' The family have put up "missing" posters and have received several possible sightings of Simon, who is described as "not very approachable" and naturally timid. But a vet at a nearby practice was less than optimistic the plan would succeed. Ian Wills, from the nearby Zetland Veterinary Hospital in Bristol, said: "I think it's an interesting idea but I would be pleasantly surprised if it worked. "When a dog wanders off from home they will generally wander back when they have had enough. "If the dog was going to follow the owner's scent it would be from something they wore, like a jumper. Unless they have an incontinence problem." A Bristol City Council spokeswoman said it was unlikely the authority would take any action against the family. Theirs a joke in their about taking the piss somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ava Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 A few things I just realized: If wizards knew how to use cellphones, Sirius Black wouldn't be dead. Also, most Hogwarts students probably don't know how to use basic algebra or even long division, having never received more than a 5th grade muggle's mathematical education on the subject.

Venneh Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Bet you there's Wizard Math to compensate for it or some such thing. Plus, when would wizards ever need algebra? Also, James, you should empty your PM inbox. Either that, or tell me if you plan on covering Death Note in any reviewing/podcasting capacity, please?

Arithmancy, as the name implies, is Wizard math. It's an elective so most students are going to have trouble balancing their checkbooks in the future. Oh well.

Wizard schools really don't teach basic life skills much. A wizard might be able to lift giant rocks through the sky with little thought but they still couldn't grasp basic physics or write a proper english sentence.

Stavros Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 But they don't need science and math! They have magic~. That's the sort of laissez-faire attitude that will see the downfall of the wizard kingdoms and the rise of mighty technology! All the potions and broomsticks in the world are no match for my patented steaming-engine! I'll be rich, I'll finally be able to wipe the smug looks off those fat bearded dress-wearers.

dc20willsave Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 So, CEOs need to watch more movies before they name products and their companies. You own a company named Cyberdyne. And you choose to make robotic exoskeletons. Named Hal. Well, we're boned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that the second we start interstellar mining or whatever the company in charge will be Weyland Yutani. Or someone will start an international humanitarian concern called Special Peaceful Earth Centre for Terrorist Rehabilitation & Enlightenment.

SuaveStar Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Moving stuff around my house for new floors to get put in, which I was told about at the last minute and left to clear the stuff by myself, I was carrying my desktop PC to another room and slipped and smacked my head against the wall and and the PC landed on my chest. Ow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Used my last day off work to go see the Banksy exhibit at the Bristol Museum. Queued for about an hour to get in, its very popular, and really didn't expect much beyond the snippets of his work I'd seen before around Bristol and an overriding crypo-socialist message. What I actually got was a fully realised exhibition with installations, an animatronic zoo full of moving hotdogs and leapord skin purses and defaced versions of other exhibitions throughout the museum. What struck me most was the humour, it was taking all these icons of society and turning them on their heads and it really didn't get old. I'll download the low-grade cellphone photos I took and stick them in their own thread tomorrow. Just thought I'd mention that it was well worth seeing. Shame you aren't coming down to see the museum until after the exhibit closes Ian, I'd have highly recommended it. The museum itself is the main target of the subversion, adding stuff like a model of Jerusalem with toy soldiers or a painting of the sea skewed slightly with with water falling out of the frame. Its really very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 From ten o'clock Thursday Night, until one o'clock Saturday morning, I was somewhere on the road between Clear Lake, WI and Kansas City, MO. 6 Hours were spent sleeping in a hotel, 4 were spent at a motor cycle dealership in Kansas City. We stopped to eat twice, and I drove the whole way from Des Moines, IA to home from 8:30 to 1. I am fucking wiped. Also, fuck road construction.

Molly Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 So, apparently, Lindsay Lohan has fallen so far that she's starring in an ABC Family Original movie. I know I don't say this very often, but sometimes, the world is an okay place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
