Critical Mass happens on the last Friday of the month in cities all over the world. I used to go on them, and when I remember which Friday is the last of the month I’ll do it again. Of course, if you turn up to the regular New York Mass on the Friday before the Republican convention, the usually easy going NYPD will arrest the lot of you and throw you in “Little Gitmo”. Link to this post! A wander around the employment agencies in the city centre helped me find Gaudi Cow. It also found me Moston Moo, but by that point the camera batteries had died.  Plus a few phonecam shots.

Happy memories of Tumbling Boxes (the naughtiest bits have been pixellated out, but still NSFW) and Debbie Does Dallas had me considering the addition of every American boy’s dream to the list- Make Love To A Cheerleader. Just so long as it wasn’t George Bush. Link to this post! Michael Moore is reporting from the Republican conference for USA Today. Today, an interview in the street with a man who is what’s known as a Republican In Name Only. via BoingBoing Link to this post! Give up the cigarettes, just go to Piccadilly and savour the fumes. Link to this post! You may have noticed an addition to the rotating banners at the top of the page, spinneyhead street-  It, and Bir Milyon-  are making the older banners look a little staid. So it’s time for a competition. Design Spinneyhead a new banner. There are five spaces to fill, replacing the gifs that are simply different fonts. Prizes are exotic and Spinneyhead related (ie, I found them in the cupboard). They include a 1 million Turkish Lira note and one of Bad Clanger’s concubines. It would have been BC himself, but there was much gnashing of teeth, mostly on my ankle, so I relented. Other prizes to be announced. The banner can be gif or jpeg. It should be 400 pixels wide and no more than 100 tall. Competition closes on September 13th. Get designing. Link to this post! The hell with cows, everyone should have a scarecrow festival! After further exploration of Dovedale was rained off (we got as far as Reynard’s cave)   we headed back to check out some of the other delights on offer in the Peak District. I have to admit, the scarecrow festival wasn’t appealing at first, but we went anyway. The village of Alstonefield had 30+ scarecrows scattered around doing day to day (and occasionally surreal) things.    
I think Damian and I have been to seven counties this weekend. I have a few photos from the phonecam, but I’ll upload those later with explanations of their silliness. Link to this post! Possible addition to the hundred things list- appear in an advert. The residuals alone would keep of afloat. Link to this post! Today’s Deputised Experts is up. Another splash image without words. Don’t forget to vote! Link to this post! Damn! Johnnytheo has disappeared again. Any of the former members of the International Blog are welcome to come over here to keep the dream alive. Link to this post! The weapons trade out of Transdniestria (Transdniester in my version) plays an important part as back story for Deputised Experts. I’m going to have to re-jig the details a little based upon this article, but the essence remains the same. via Ben Hammersley, who’s planning to go there. Link to this post! |
