I just saw this:

http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com/2010/12/funny-video- for-cat-crazies-like-me.html

I thought it was hilarious - I'm still coughing... Enjoy! Smile

Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

For Period Drama fans:

http://enchantedserenityperiodfilms.blogspot.com/2011/08/vid eo-gentlemen-of-period-drama.html

I'm not sure if this is the place to put it, but, then, I couldn't really think of anything more suitable - besides, I hope it will amuse somebody, as it certainly amuses me. Smile

(I think it's brilliantly done, actually.)

The "Weird Books" page on ABEBooks has a surprising number of books related to this forum... (some more tangentially than others, I suppose.) http://www.abebooks.com/books/weird/index.shtml

Oh, and this one just made me laugh: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=5583345641& amp;searchurl=an%3Ddoris%26sts%3Dt%26tn%3DGiraffes%26x%3D0%2 6y%3D0 (read the description)

And I love the fact that a book called Anybody Can Be Cool... But Awesome Takes Practice is sold out. Ha.

Anyone looking forward to attending the lectures given by the distinguished Dr Conan T Barbarian is - alas! - destined to be disappointed it seems:

My friend B just sent me this link

Cello Wars:

And as you'll see by the end, I was compelled by the Force to share it... and how best to "annoy all my friends" than to link it here? Enjoy. Smile

Brilliant! Thank you. Dr Who meets the Wild West - what's not to like? And did I see David Bradley in the next bit?

Thanks for spotting that for me, can't believe I have not already been snowed under by BBC trailers...

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and all our little lives are rounded by a sleep.
