  • Damn, and I had him picked out to shoot my movie script too. How's he going to fit it in his schedule now?!

    I thank the deities for Jon Stewart every day, for keeping it real in an ocean of crap (via a comedy show no less). Oh, and I thank them for Rick and Kat too...

    Kind regards,

    Not only that, but he's got a contract with the other members of the "Three Amigos" (Iñárritu and Cuarón) that stipulates he's got to direct or produce a movie with them before the decade ends.

    PS: You finally convinced Bono to play the part of Rick? You know he won't let anyone else to impersonate him :-P

    Much better than offering us to the deities as sacrificial virgins... although I can't speak for Kat of course. ;-)

    As I commented before "All things Green" marketing is creeping into our consciousness like a virus.

    We should be concerned about the environment, however when "Green" is used in marketing enter in mind control.

    Seems we have already welcomed (with tear stained eyes and open arms n' wallet) the advertising and marketing industry overlords!

    (Bloody hell, god save us...)

    Seems to me that this club is not just any old club promoted with empty marketing hype.

    Yes, it's about making a stylish statement but, for example, it also claims to generate all its own energy (the dance floor alone generates 60% of energy requirements) and is also the first business to give away surplus generated energy for free to locals.

    As for club owner 'Dr Earth' - check out his amazing biography here.

    I think it's a good way to test these new technologies and see if they can be of use in other facilities. Maybe in subway stations or stadiums.

    Anyway, i always thought we should tap into the energy of horny adolescents, and make something useful with it ;-)

    Instead of babies?

    Now you've got me thinking. Kids are rechargeable. My kids could power the garden office using the trampoline!

    I had hoped to utilise my dog's tail wagging to turn the handle of a manually-operated sewing machine we used to repair sails on our boat, but he wouldn't co-operate!

    That's because you didn't use the wind powered dog petter!

    Maybe you could borrow 'Walter the Farting Dog'

    Farting dogs is not something I really want to remember! The phrase recalls one particular occasion when the dog, who'd been salivating hopefully in front of the stove while I cooked up some shark for his next night's supper, was offered the finished plate. I thought he'd eat a little. He scoffed all but one tablespoonful, which I found him sadly contemplating as he just couldn't stuff any more down.

    Within 10 minutes the cabin began to fill with a very odiferous green haze to the point where we were worried about lighting either a smoke or the hurricane lantern.

    The dog was banished to the deck for the night!!

    Regards, Kathrinn

    If you keep feeding your mutt with shark, you're gonna need a bigger boat... I mean house! ;-)
