Who’s stupid now, eh?

Published by Fence under Ramblings

Noticing an intriguing headline[1] on Newsnow, I clicked on the link. And learned that lions in a safari park in England have been paying particular attention to Smart cars. Well, that meant I had to go google[2] cause I hadn’t a clue what the smart car was. Turns out there are this really small two-seater thingymebob car. And because they are so small they look very different than regular cars.

So the lions, no doubt thinking A’right, a’right, wats dis den?[3] , have been investigating this new addition to their home. Seems reasonable to me. The Daily Mail however think this makes them stupid. And post a little picture to illustrate their captionfunny looking lioness if you ask me.

Lionesses are confusing Smart cars with prey

Nuff said

Linknotes:
  1. Stupid Lions target Smart cars
  2. MSN - Amn’t I great that I’ve gone and saved you the bother
  3. the safari park is in Merseyside somewhere, lions are bound to have picked up a bit of an accent

Lost - Special

Published by Fence under Moving Pictures, TV

Episode 14

This episode centres on Walt and Michael, with flashbacks of how Walt ended up not knowing his father, and living in Australia. As well as how Michael regained custody. We also see more hints that Walt is, as the episode title suggests, special.

But this show would want to start doing a little more than hinting.
I mean I do get that there are a whole load of characters and they all have their own backstories, but Lost is starting to drag. The problem, I think, is that every aspect of the story is arc-base. There is no resolution at all in any of the episodes, everything is focused on what happens next.

The Hoff needs your vote

Published by Fence under Ramblings

The HoffWe all know how great an actor David Hasselhoff is. We’ve worshipped him in Baywatch, who could forget those slow motion rescues. We praised him for Knight Rider, although maybe we thought Kitt was cooler.
But up until now only the Germans have truly appreciated his singing career[1] Only they had the chance to see him, in the flesh.

Now Ireland may just be that lucky. Come on, sign the petition. Make Hoffsegen real. Bring The Hoff to Oxegen[2]

Remember, the Hoff loves you, and now he needs you to sign the petition.


Linknotes:
  1. Hoff-himself - just read these reviews.
  2. Thats the way THEY spell it. Don’t ask me why, google would have to answer, if it can
