Fun, fun, fun …

Lister

Lister: What kind of milk are we using now?

Holly: Emergency back-up supply. We’re on the dog’s milk.

Lister: Dog’s milk?

Holly

Holly: Nothing wrong with dog’s milk. Full of goodness. Full of vitamins. Full of marrowbone jelly. Lasts longer than any other type of milk, dog’s milk.

Lister: Why?

Holly: No bugger’ll drink it. Plus, of course, the advantage of dog’s milk is that when it goes off, it tastes exactly the same as when it’s fresh.

PSP: UMD sales fine, production figures normal.
The real story here is the anti-Sony contingent is eager to find a negative spin for any piece of PSP news.

Digital bullying.
” … the time-honored humiliation of being taunted in front of others can now live on in perpetuity on cell phones and Web sites … The report cited instances of so-called ‘happy slapping,’ an extreme form of techno-bullying where physical assaults are recorded on mobile phones and distributed to Web sites and other phones via video messaging.” Abu Ghraib comes home.

Jaws III: a 17′ croc weighing over a ton.
“He lives alone in an enclosure – in the past few years he’s repulsed at least three attempts by his keepers to pair him with female crocodiles by killing them.” Now that‘s anti-social.

Higher, getting higher

Lumines score: 85K+
I managed to get a new Lumines highscore tonight. I usually end up getting screwed during the “Just…” skin which features quick-dropping blocks but I survived it this time with a relatively clean board.

Next target: 100K!

Posted in Games, Lumines.
