Our search term for the day (someone actually found us this way): Osama bin Laden you fucking asshole now I can’t find a job. Or how even a mundane search engine can provide intrigueing tranches de vie.

ooh! Matron!!

February 21st, 2003 • Guacamole

I got sent an e-mail today which contained numerous examples of double entendres which have been broadcast on British TV and radio.
Here’s a few examples:-
A news anchorwoman who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed but hadn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked “So Bob, where’s the eight inches that you promised me last night?”.
Michael Buerk, (a rather staid BBC news presenter) watching a live link from an outside broadcast of a female colleague and a male astronomer during coverage of an eclipse, remarked “They seem cold out there, they’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in his shorts”.
Jack Burnicle, sports commentator, talking about motorcyclist Colin Edwards tyre choice during a race: “Colin had a hard on this morning in practice, I’ll bet he wished he had a hard on now”.
Chris Tarrant (presenter of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”) being interviewed about the shows first £1M winner, Judith Keppel: “She was practising “fastest finger first” by herself in bed last night”.
James Allen, sports commentator, interviewing racing driver Ralf Schumacher:
“What does it feel like being rammed up the backside by Barrichello?”
Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing”.
Enough.

3 short quizzes

February 20th, 2003 • Guacamole

How well do you know your vegetables?, Are you an intellectual? ( I would guess, almost definitely SOFA ) and
How well do you know your beards?. The latter only included because FZ is given as a (very remote) option.
“It’s a thin line between an intellectual and a pretentious bore”
- sounds like an insult from the zappa.com forums (without the misspelling).
