Morning,
My cold seems to have subsided a bit after a decent sleep last night but I've realised my sore throat is being caused by a swollen gland (ooh er!). I've got a night out in Glasgow on Saturday and I'm not sure whether it's worth risking making things worse by going out. It's quite the conundrum...
My advent calendar is from our German suppliers. The chocolate had a house on it but there was no picture printed behind the tray. Germans are obviously too sensible for that nonsense. In fact, if the trays weren't standard I'd probably be getting 24 identical plain squares of chocolate.

Advent: does the TV show Blue Peter still exist?
And are they still encouraging children to build, the fire risk, advent candle thing out of coat hangers and tinsel?

The money people actually get is better than I thought, not the small fortune the article indicates though.
I remember wasting a whole day digging out old wrestling sticker albums after being told by a friend that they were going for a fortune on eBay only to find out he was looking at the buy it now prices and they were actually only worth about £20.

I only realised today that the punchline to the joke 'why did the chicken cross the road' has a double meaning in that when the chicken dies it goes to the afterlife (the 'other side'). I always just thought it was a nonsensical thing, like 'are you a tomato?'
Friday question - in what way are you a moron?

Fiery
You're blowing my mind here, but then I am a moron in all the ways.

I've seen plenty of chickens cross roads without dying.
In fact, I'd say that deaths caused by road traffic incidents are statistically low for chickens.

I wish I was a moron. Like a really dense twat, properly wrong-headed. They always seem to be much happier, probably due to their lack of understanding of the world and self-awareness.
I'm still in pre-mod, but I just wrote a post describing Farage as the "King of the Dipshits", so I'm expecting good things to come from that.

That chicken other side thing has been a revelation to me, too. Astonishing.
I don't have an advent calendar. My parents asked if I wanted one and I said not to worry about it. I think it made my mum a bit sad. Next year I'll ask for two to make up for it.

I think Fiery has over-interpreted the text. It's postmodernism gone mad. The chicken just wanted to get to the other side of the road.

Melvazord there, providing the angry exception to his own happy moron theory.

Also, I own 3 chickens and live next to a road, so I know what I am talking about here.

Thats a fuckload of money for some stickers. Stickers that someone has already had their way with and stuck in the book. Stickers that are technically no longer fun. We are fucked as a species. How long have you been in here? How many things have you seen? But secondhand soccer sticker albums.. THAT'S your limit? |

It could be different for chickens but it's the river Styx you cross to get to the other side. You need to pay the ferry man, the reason for closing a corpses eyes with a penny, so they have some change for the ferryman. In case he doesn't take debit cards.

Hey I never said I was smart. I'm just clever enough to know how stupid I am, but not stupid enough to be happy about it.
I'm also lazy and balding if that helps.
Its more of a general observation that bears repeating really.

Did my time share finally sell to that Nigerian prince? |

Moron is the Welsh word for carrots.
Another one of those the same time next year unless I forget or can't be bothered.

The burning went well. If he wasn't dead before, he DEFINITELY is now.
Getting all burned up in a box is a bit lacklustre though. I'm going to see if the Co-Op offer a Giant Wicker Man package for when I go. Instead of pallbearers, I'd want a few guys to operate my arms with 'Kermit-style' sticks so my corpse could act properly distressed and, ideally, I'd have pre-recorded my "Oh Christ! Oh Jesus Christ no!" stuff.
