Finally decided to make my SNES mouse into a USB optical one. Only took a few hours but worth it to bring this 15 years old piece of machinery into the 21st centuary.

Chris, Russell and Gillian decided to throw hatred at me on Friday night for going out to a club.

Here is the result (right click and ’save target as’ to download)…

This was an extract from the Cheers. If only this was true we would all be in Mensa.

“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first this natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

While IM has become a part of everyday life to most, communication via text rather than spoken words can lead to confusion, misunderstanding and in this case shear hillarity (well it was to us). The conversation goes as follow:

Mike: whats happening?
Mike: how did bukkake ruin your carpet?
Boggie: 4 player rasta with jones, bean and helen
Boggie: thats what im doing, nothing to do with the bukkake
Mike: ha ha

Now let me explain this for those you are missing the funny part. I had started writing my response to the first question while not realising there had been a second asked, which made my response a rather funny response to the second (you need to know what bukkake is to see the true funny side of this).

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC;
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I’ve run this poem threw it,
I’m sure you’re please too no,
It’s letter perfect in it’s weight,
My checker tolled me sew.
