Can anyone explain this “joke” to me? NO-Acetol Warning – probably need to be good at chemistry…

So who was the famous Tourist Guy after all?

Of course the best thing about the web is that it’s a place where you can find out all kinds of cool information that you didn’t know about before. Like – for example – information on the various hats of the Old West.

In case you’re wondering why I posted so little yesterday, the main reason was getting the TCN Quiz up and running. I spent ages making sure the questions were suitable ridiculous enough – so if you really want to know who’s been brushing their teeth in restaurants recently because they’re obsessed by their bad breath… Well, you know where to go…

And lo from the moistened orifice of ThinkBlank.com did spring fully-formed – Secret Santa!

And lo, in the course of conversation, did J Ko say, “you could call it secret holiday gift-giving robot“…

You know, pretty much everything’s picking up at the moment. I’ve slept properly, had some money, found everything extremely easy to deal with, and – apart from living in a pig-sty – basically I’m pretty content. A year ago, in pretty much the same situation, I would probably have been pretty miserable. It just goes to show how perspectives change with circumstances. All I can do now is hope that I’ll have a job when my stint at TCN comes to an end.

You know I’m completely sure that it’s Max’s birthday around here somewhere. Can’t get it out of my head that it was around here sometime. He’s probably about twenty-two now. Hmmm. Never mind. Corny’s birthday in a week, Kate’s in two weeks. My brother’s birthday was two weeks ago. My mother’s birthday was four weeks ago. I’m sure there are other ones lurking around the place as well. Birthday hell is come upon us.

After much searching and digging, it turns out that I wasn’t looking for the song by The Church after all. Instead, I think I’m looking for a track called “Mad World” by Tears for Fears (of all people). Anyone have a copy of that lying around? Mail me. [lyrics]

If anyone knows where I can get my hands on an MP3 of The Church’s “Under The Milky Way”, then could they make themselves known. I need to know whether or not it is the right track before I fork out any hard-earned credit for it…
