Humiliation: underneath my industrial leather I am trussed in off-white nylon

Regarding: Mark Lowton's picture

Do you think this guy ever said to himself 'looking like this, what sort of job should I have?' or did he cultivate the look - 'well Mr barber, I'd like something that says Mad Professor'.

Ah yes - I was talking about the default images that Google put up for a couple of days - I guess if you selected your own then you wouldn't get the default ones. If they don't come back after the World Cup I think it was to publicise the image facility.

Yeah - they backed down - Spoof Power!

Actually, I think they wanted to put up their World Cup series of Doodles - maybe the murals will be back in a couple of weeks.

Used Google today?

I wrote an article yesterday about the new Google backgrounds feature, but at that time it wasn't compulsory.

Now it seems you get pictures unless you sign in and switch them off.

I liked simple. I liked quick. I liked all that white space. Just because you can have a huge flashy coloured background picture doesn't mean you have to have it. Especially if it adds to web congestion, slows down Google's servers and makes it hard to read the text on the screen.

Anyway, rant over.

You English fellers: how about I take some local wood eating critters and mash 'em up and let you eat that on your toast? You can call it "termite" and it would probably taste just as good as your stuff.

You mean like this?
Nice one J-Man.

I'd be Tiger Lea - which certainly works. Unlike my second pet/road combo which would be Steptoe Fairfield.

Want to know about Marmite? Then you'll need 'The Mish-mash Dictionary of Marmite: An Anecdotal A-Z of Tar-in-a-jar' book that comes out tomorrow!

And incidentally, it includes (so I'm told) my story from The Spoof about Marmite being used at Guantanamo Bay.

I blinked and suddenly Aspartame Boy was Featured Writer. Then I blinked again and it was back to Ace. Now its Aspartame Boy again. Maybe they are one and the same.

I'm outraged by all this. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. A rock star falls off stage and you think it's...

Aaargh!

Oh shit! Me neck!

At least he didn't fall off a bike...

twice

Just found Smurfette's Story about this

And QM's

and Mamad's which blows away a joke I made earlier in this thread

I always thought Tyler was a little AC-DC....Wait that's another group!

You mean the chap resembles a female?

Or the man seems similar to a woman?

Or the fellow approximates the form of an adult girl?

It's sometimes difficult to find the right words...

Anyway, I think the dude mostly looks like Joan Rivers.

Remind me not to walk that way..

Liked your bad classics list Skoob. Not many people will have seen Bad Taste (Basically a home movie made by the Lord of the Rings director when he was a kid and before CGI was invented.)

And you missed out 'If', the Lindsay Anderson film with Malcome McDowell. Half colour, half in B&W, wierd quintessentially British story based on public school, soundtrack based on an African Latin Mass, etc.

What about now - has anyone heard from Fergus now?

Hey - anyone heard from Fergus lately?

Hey Roy..Want to do Chapter 11?

---

Hi Buck,
Struggling to get the time at the moment, but I'll try to get round to reading the last eight chapters. I may be able to have a go in the next week or so if that's not too late.
Regards
Roy
P.S. I see I have answered your question before you asked it. Maybe I already wrote Chapter 11 but don't know about it yet. Does Mark know that UTC times are not being used for posts?

Welcome back!

Thanks Skoob. Not getting much spooftime these days but trying to keep up with what's going on. By the way, is there an easy way of finding all the BT004 stories on Magazine?

All the best

Or is this whole site a setup, and it's only me and one other guy pretending to be 6,000 other writers?

This is well documented:
There Are Only Two Spoof Writers
But don't presume you are the 'lone writer'; you could be one of the other writer's multiple personalities. Like me.
