Cat: Hey, I got it! We laser our way through!?
Kryten: Ah, an excellent suggestion, Sir, with just two minor drawbacks. One, we don't have a power source for the lasers, and two, we don't have any lasers.

No Time Wasters
http://www.gumtree.ie/dublin/78/8882978.html Why do people say this in their ads? Do they think that a time-waster sits at home and thinks, “Right, today I’m going to find someone who’s selling something, ring them up and talk reeeeeaaaalllllly sssslllooooowwwlllyyyy… woo hooo, this’ll be mad laugh… ok lets have a look, here’s one, Plasma tv for...

Fat Charlie: Well, I have a thing about birds.
Daisy: A phobia?
Fat Charlie: Sort of.
Daisy: Well, that's the common term for an irrational fear of birds.
Fat Charlie: What do they call a rational fear of birds, then?

Last time I tried to sort out my cable mess I ground my teeth into bloody little lifeless stumps. Now I can’t eat apples anymore.

Blogorrahed
Someone posted a link to my Damien Rice gag on Blogorrah today and my Beaten Track visitor stats went bananas. By bananas I mean 30 people visited. That’s about 29 more then usual. And that includes my visits. And my mums. Blogorrah (Edit to add - now around 150 [and counting] visitors, which is about the same as i’d usually get in a week)

Today
I woke up this morning to the sound of my upstairs neighbour playing music so loud it cracked the ceiling. Rather then get into a fight with someone that thick I decided to abandon my apartment and go out for coffee. It worked, when I got back the noise had stopped. Now it’s nighttime and the neighbour downstairs is playing music so loud I can’t hear my own music playing on iTunes....

I laughed ‘till i peed a bit
Me: It's been a while. The smell of fresh dodgy battered chicken in your nostrils, the taste of regurgitated overpriced cake in your gob, the aroma of someone's sticky armpit in your face and the sights and sounds of pure unadulterated bullet time violence on the telly. Who could forget those special memories? So. Who's up for the reinitiating of "The lads movie night?" Say next Wednesday, @ my new place (now sporting a 3 seater couch for your comfort and convenience).
Dave: Nothing like the enticement of crap food and violent TV. Count me in.
Niall: Sounds good, what are you thinking of seeing?
Me: I'm open to suggestion there, as long as it's some form of kung-fu, gratuitous violence or a sci-fi bullet time lunacy.
Neil: The Flower That Drank The Moon…?
