12th August, 2006. 4:16 pm. The Crawley Kids Fuss

I don't get it...

As you're reading this, you're probably someone who uses the net relatively regularly. As such, I'm sure you've seen The Crawley Kids video. Yes, we've all had a laugh at the stupid people who did a dangerous thing. You may even have seen the Hip Hop Version or the Metal version. Yup, they were funny too.

Yup, a group of kids did something stupid, got hurt, and we laughed at them. As kids we all did dumb shit, so why the hell did this end up on the British news. The news report suggests other people will copy this. Why would anyone want to copy anything where they see someone fall flat on their face? If anything, this video is a deterrant.

When I was a kid and I did something stupid, my parents bollocked me and asked me if I learned my lesson. If I was in pain, you could pretty much guarantee I had and that I wouldn't do it again. So I just can't fathom why the Police are getting involved! It really is none of their business. Gah!

Just watch the video for what it is: a bunch of kids doing something daft. It's funny. These people have been punished enough already by being watched do dumb shit by a million people, surely?

Have fun,

12th August, 2006. 5:54 pm. What Would I Look Like With A Luxuriant Beard?

Or alternatively, how funny would it be to draw taches on a pic of me?

Widely regarded as the funniest, albiet the most ridiculously difficult to do, blog I've ever done is Deciding Which Facial Hair To Wear. This is basically, over a six month period, me shaving my beard into various comedy styles such as Scouser, Hitler, or Mutton Chops.

This was a lot of fun, but there were some facial hairstyles that I simply couldn't do because they would take literally years to grow. However, due to the wonders of modern technology (Microsoft Paint), I can now bring you an artist's (me) impression of what I would look like with various luxuriant beards.

I think I'm going to invest 10 years of my lift to growing a ZZ Top style beard. I look beautiful...

Have fun,
