1)'Everybody' (meaning a few desperately sad screen suckers) has been terribly excited about the the meeting of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. But the real significance of the encounter has been missed. Years ago Jobs said the thing he most disliked about Microsoft was that they lacked taste. But there he is on stage wearing white sneakers with black socks!!! This is as grave a sartorial solecism as I can imagine and has made me wonder if it is not time I switched back to PCs.
2)This hideous creature seems to be regarded as the best dog in the world. Since it is plainly not a dog at all but a hallucination, I think the judges at the World Dog Show in Mexico should be searched for traces of peyote.
3)The murder of a Danish man by a Dvorak Spider 01 robot lawnmower is, predictably, being described as an accident by publicists in the pay of the robot high command. I say: it has begun.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Man's best friend? What kind of man are we talking about here? Surely, no bloke could bring that for a walk. Ok, maybe Shirley might, but it wouldn't be a walk, would it? More like a mince. And what kind of name is 'Smash on Monday'? Was the competition held on a Sunday, perhaps? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteYes, no walks to the park with that mutt. A mince to the salon or, at best, a flounce around the boutique.
ReplyDeleteif he was wearing white socks with black shoes it would be much worse but to wear sneakers off court - in any kind of combination - shows lack of imagination or neglect for one's public image and should be a celebrity crime. those caught should be made to perform their duties for the rest of the day in vest and pants.
ReplyDeleteand as dogs go, it looks cool!
Dogs have one fundamental purpose: to kill chavs. For efficiency in chav extermination, no breed can match the dobermann. Sleek as a bullet, glossy as a porno actress, orange of eyebrows, floppy of ears, equipped with long pink tongues, approximately 500 razor-sharp teeth, huge paws, intent brown eyes, enormous dragon-like snouts, the dobermann is truly the dog for all chav killing occasions.
ReplyDeleteDid they say it ws Japanese poodle? Well, certainly it did not have French cut!
ReplyDeletePoor creature, and I say so as one who owns a toy poodle but has only once in 10 years given her the poddle style curt. My, how my 13 year old daughter and I laughted at the poor creature (she was also decked with a ribbon in her hair. So, never again - she is messy and hairy now but lovely. No, she would not win any shows, for all her pedigree!
On th white socks front, how do we knoe Steve Jobs is not German? They wear white socks with normal shoes for work.
ReplyDeletetake it from me, Reb - the dog don't care one bit.
ReplyDeletegermans, now they're not big on style - tan leather shorts with little bibs up front. it took an austrian to introduce some pizazz - hold up, I'm turning bryan ferry...
