A new drinking game?
Every time the word f*** is said during the show Deadwood you have to drink. Of course, you would be hammered by the second commercial break, but that is half the point, innit?
2 commentsA hunting we will go?
While some of the Dodgeblogium stable were off at the Samizdata bash, Wolfie and I were off at a hunt Edwardian evening. We were, of course, hunting the two-legged kind of fox. It was a rather odd evening consisting of a rather nice dinner of five courses and “entertainment”. This included some rather good singing (and some not so), a bit of fiddle playing, a few read ditties and some good ole’ belly dancing. (Before the main course, which was a rather odd time for it.) It was a very interesting evening and definetely worth the cost of admission.
Before that, I had to travel from south-east of London to South-West of London, alas the second of the two trains was a wee bit late. I was not that perturbed however, despite the fact we missed the reception beforehand, because the G.o.D. core did some durn good work and we managed to lock down Whiskey & Westminster. We are very pleased with how it turned out in the end. I cannot wait to record it and slap it up on Radio Free Bureaucrash.
Wolfie, who kindly put me up last night, suggested a rather amusing thing over lunch. He suggested that one of the sayings for our G.o.D. mechandise should be “G.o.D. is great.” Rob came up with a very amusing idea for a post…more of that tomorrow.
Speaking of music, Colby has a bloody funny story about a band and their name changes.

Interesting news from Lebanon. No, not ” target=”new”>Lebanon, Ohio. Expatriate American teacher Tyler Golson in the Daily Star:
Abandoning my lesson plan for the moment, but curious at this sudden display of interest in the election, I ventured: “Who do you want to win?” “Bush,” said Rahaf, while a number of others nodded in solid agreement. I pressed them further for a few minutes, asking individual students why they liked Bush. The same ideas came up again and again: he is a strong leader, an honest man, and, most of all, a believer. Like the winning margin of American voters this year, these Middle Easterners related to Bush’s sense of religious conviction and his confident steering of a nation and culture they admired.
I think in years to come, Arab opinion of Bush will parallel the admiration for Ronald Reagan among Central and Eastern European democrats.
