Holy Diver

Godot - an alien could study English language and culture for many centuries without making head nor tail of this. Yet, for those of us steeped in the history of the mediocre, this is as clear as glass. Why thankyou Pook. So nice of you to say so. I've been thinking about Sugden and Clitheroe. They must have been around the same age. In another life they might have formed a double act, like the Krankies in reverse. That would have necessitated Jimmy Clitheroe dressing up as a schoolgirl. Godot you have a gift for creating disturbing mental images. They'd have had to wed too so there would have been Jimmy dressed as a schoolgirl playing with Mollie's pussy. Now it's that kind of imagination that today's children's television needs.

Things to do whilst waiting for death? Listen to this:

That's my feeling about it. To be honest I'm rather indifferent to it, he knew the risks. I'm sure there are Aussies out their crying into their tinnies but.... I guess it's just the same thing as when Dale Earnhardt died. Except Steve Irwin isn't a redneck. Can I also at this point ask why the i and o vowel keys on the keyboard are so close together?

Sadly, it was before my time. So is a lot of the music that I like actually. Quite a lot of the bands are still going however. That 'W.A.S.P. deny any involvement' thing is hilarious.

Hey, suprise suprise, everyone one Myspace has started posting bulletins about how much they really miss Steve, and how they thought he was really awesome. I don't mean to rain on any proverbial parades here, but I'll bet half of these people thought of his shows as 'rainy sunday afternoon' television. It's all just hopping on the bandwagon. If you're gonna swim with stingrays, you are kind of asking for trouble. He was a good man, but it looks like all that crocodile wrestling meant he was unprepared for the different set of battle tactics that stongrays employ. (Yes, I do use myspace, sad I know, but I'm not half as bad as the attention whoring assholes on there.)

Wow. This really came out of left field didn't it. I heard a bunch of people talking about it on the radio this morning, and one of the presenters had a slight air of 'I told you so' in the way he talked. I guess it happens if you constantly put yourself in dangers way.

In my physics class, we watched some terribly boring video about catching neutrinos (which are supposed to move so fast, and be so small that they pass through entire planets without causing any reactions.) and Patrick Moore presented it I think. Now, I have a feeling someone will go and do some research on it, and find the video wasn't that old, but I seem to remember it being from the 70s or maybe early 80s, and let me just say, Patrick Moore really hasn't changed a lot since then. He still looks like an old fart. I wouldn't be surpised if he kept on living just to see another awesome comet or something. But I've just been reading this thread about his health being in decline. Maybe he will be number 8?

I read Catcher in the Rye when I was 16 I think. The book really clicked with me, and I really quite enjoyed it. In fact, I didn't realise it was set in the 50s until someone told me. The book seemed to reflect so many feelings and experiences that felt familiar to me. Although ultimately nihilistic, and not exactly a happy ending, I found the book quite cathartic and enjoyed it a lot. Sadly, that is the only book I've really enjoyed by Salinger. 'The laughing man' wasn't bad, but it wasn't brilliant by any standards. JD Salingers career seemed to climax with 'Catcher in the Rye' which is a shame seeings as it's one of the first books he wrote. If he's any good at being a recluse, then he might already be dead without our knowledge...
