Links To Things That Are Cool

Pienaar

The previous cool links thread having grown to an unmanageable size, Pienaar announces that the day has dawned that will see the birth of a new thread. Coolness-deflation is now a grievous problem, with things that were way-cool (or even Cugat) at breakfast time becoming entirely ZaneLoweified by shortly after lunch. Our Western culture has become a fiery furnace that is fueled by cool, and it is burning out of control. It is fanned by our bored sighs, and its crackle is a symphony of a billion idle mouse clicks. Feed the furnace, or it will consume us all.

Ok I'll point towards

https://www.totse.com/ - Lots of fun infomation but not really work safe for the most part.

http://andrzejdragan.com/ - A photographer/photoshopper who recently did a portrait of David Lynch.

http://www.iloverichardcheese.com/ - Great rock songs done in a swing-lounge style i'm paticularly partial to his versions of 'Enter Sandman' and 'Holiday in Cambodia'

QuoteFavourite has to be Anarchy In The UK by the Sex Pistols. Notable for being kept at the top spot by the powers that be during Silver Jubilee week.

God bless  you Mark Gillespie. Fight the power.

Don't knock him there's lots that weekend anarchists like him can do to help bring about the disolution of the establisment like, pelting Chuck Palahniuk with eggs at his book sigings and refusing to use the google main page in favour of the http://www.anarchy.com/ alternative.

If this fiery furnace is burning out of control then surely it needs less fuel not more.

No no, the furnace of cool is based on nuclear reactions analagous to those at the core of a star, and thus it is the lack of fuel which will cause the out-of-control denoument.

Anyway, back on topic.

Though I'm not a smoker, this may interest smoker Whores. I requested this email (it was not spam) from a smoker campaigner - interesting links!
Quotesmokers info: as requested  
angry smoker  <theangrysmoker@yahoo.com> to me

Dear Friend,
                 Thank you for your email with regard to my website on geocities. I have spent much time researching the Internet, in order to find people who actually support us smokers, there aren't many!
I am tired of being treated like a leper!, I enjoy my habit, and I just want to be left in peace, while at the same time, being allowed to purchase mt tobacco at a reasonable price.

I do fully understand the rights of anti smokers to air their views, however, I do not complain about their unreasonable behaviour, and the other, more socially acceptable habits they participate in, like drinking to excess (although I also like this sometimes!), driving their pollution generating cars and then feeling they have the right to stop me enjoying one of the few pleasures I have left. The recent smoking bans in public places have left me numb and extremely angry. The British government have been over taxing us, the smoker for too may years, and to introduce these bans is the final insult...it is time to fight back!!!

I have made my stand!, I refuse to pay any further taxes on tobacco, to the British government, for over 2 years. I buy my tobacco from elsewhere in Europe, where, they are much cheaper. I have saved a fortune, and continue to enjoy my habit, in the knowledge that my persecutors, earn nothing from my habit...anymore...it is very satisfying!

I recently joined The Smokers Club of Great Britain (free to join!), and I suggest that you do also...we smokers, have to stand and fightback!
You can join this organisation, by going to: http://www.britishsmokersclub.com

If you are fed up of being 'ripped off' by the government by having to pay high prices for cigarettes, rolling tobacco, pipe tobacco and cigars, you can shop safely at the following online tobacco shops. They are reliable and provide a great service.
http://www.tobaccosecret.com (bulk discounts for a small range of cigarettes).
http://www.tobaccobritain.com (a full range of tobacco products, sent as gifts, legally, from within Europe)

I do not have permissions to promote these sites, however, unless we smokers help each other, we are doomed, to a life of constant pressure (and we experience enough of that in general, anyway!). It is time to take back, from the government, the money that they take from us, which they  then use to attack us in return!

I hope that you forward this email to family and friends, so that the word spreads, and some real damage is done to those who would take away the rights of freedom we have enjoyed for so long!
I will send you details of any other organisations, as and when I find them in the future

Take care
The Angry Smoker

What the hell was the point of that? It made me giggle out of sheer bizarreness, but am I missing a bigger joke?

gazzyk1ns

Not that I know of. Just seemed funny!

This is the reason why fat angry young kids should not be allowed to make music.

Yeah, I think we've had something by him on the previous "cool links" thread. I pointed out that if you wanted to hear more stuff by him (and why shouldn't you?) go here. He's retarded, apparently

I know it's awful just lifting stuff from the b3ta newsletter, but anyone who hasn't seen this really needs to have a skim through...

Rupert The Bear meets the nig-nogs - A book from the 50s. Quite scared that books like this were given to kids as 'edutainment'.

I bet Rupert goes to parties dressed as a Nazi whether they're fancy dress or not.

You may also notice where it's hosted...

Purple Tentacle

Damn, and to think I was thinking of holidaying in the Coon Islands........

The last time I felt this way about a comic was when I was 15 and discovered Watchmen. I've spent the whole of the last three days reading through the strips archive in chronological order, then I read the character blogs, Ray's advice pages, listened to the music...

If you find post-modern critical theory annoying and stupid, you might find this mildly amusing.

QuoteAlternative
A wonderful thing. Because it's the opposite of everything. You have the regular, normal, boring thing, like medicine, or scholarship, or education, and then you have the alternative kind, which does whatever the opposite is. Normal medicine relies on testing, so dear alternative medicine relies on guesswork and hunches and an inner voice. So much more spiritual.

Gut
A good part of the body to think with, but not the best. See heart.

Human nature
Fantasy. Fictitious entity, like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy or the free lunch. Humans have no nature, only culture; we can learn to fly, or live in the ocean, or echolocate, or pick things up with our trunks, if we will only concentrate

etc.

Stupidly brilliant and supposedly genuine German forklift truck safety video.  Probably not safe for work as it's a bit gory.  But gory in a daft zombie film way if you know what i mean.

Oh, and not 56k friendly.  You could skip the first 3 minutes too, unless you want to set the scene.

Probably?!!


Absolute top class that. Best zombie gore (okay there are no zombies) I've seen in a long while!

For between £300 and £5,000 you can have a "top" TV personality join your dinner party

QuoteAfter their jaws have stopped dropping in amazement, your guests will be enchanted by anecdotes and the wit and charm only a professional entertainer can bring. Simply plan your dinner party at your house or apartment, Plan for a maximum of 8 guests to attend, and call us – we will discuss the personalities of your guests and what type of celebrity would most suit your special evening and budget. It's that easy!

Great stuff eh? Their list of "stars" include Nik Kershaw (who will chat about his career at length - joy!), Syd Little (His Pete Waterman impersonation is a pure work of genius, apparently), Nick Leeson, Stu Francis and Schnorbitz the dog (He will fetch and play dead) plus a few more that I couldnt be arsed to look at.

On the bright side, they have this on the activities page....

Quote This icon means that the celebrity suffers from a deadly nut allergy.

Great!! Have Nik Kershaw round your house for your dinner party, have him bore you to tears before you watch him slowy dying, rather painfully from his deadly nut allergy, on your living room carpet. Now thats a dinner party!
