A Slurry Tale ... Pulp Fiction as written by Shakespeare.
ACT I SCENE 2. A road, morning. Enter JULES and VINCENT, murderers.
V: And know'st thou what the French name cottage pie?
J: Say they not cottage pie, in their own tongue?
V: But nay, their tongues, for speech and taste alike
Are strange to ours, with their own history:
Gaul knoweth not a cottage from a house.
J: What say they then, pray?
V: Hachis Parmentier.
J: Hachis Parmentier! What name they cream?
V: Cream is but cream, only they say la crème.
J: What do they name black pudding?
V: I know not;
I visited no inn it could be bought.

Linkage: Mightier than the swordroll
So, that deviant writer* has come up with a suggestion for the new Rickrolling: Tenpole-ing. Funny, I thought he'd already done that with his links to modblog: carved-up-cockrolling.
Oh yeah, you know how the title of the page at the end of that last link says "Don't Look"? Don't Look.
* Is that redundant?

Jibba-jabba: A tiny alien that only Jonah can see
So, on the news this morning:
- The bees are disappearing (the first I heard of this was on Doctor Who. WTF?)
- The leader of the Conservative party criticising a massive increase in tax on the poorest people in society that has been imposed by a Labour government
- John Prescott is bulemic
Reality has jumped the shark.

Linkage: I feel sick
Captured dolphins were filmed writhing in pain as Taiji whalers speared them repeatedly or cracked their spines with spiked weapons. Stricken dolphins are also shown thrashing about wildly, blood pouring from their wounds until they finally succumbed. Meanwhile, a number of dolphin trainers and officials from the Taiji Whale Museum are shown cooperating in the slaughter — some even laughing — as the killing cove's bloodied, ruby-red water swept round into the adjacent capture cove.
But perhaps the most iconic scene is one in which a baby dolphin leaps to its death on the rocks after its mother is killed. This really was a surreal and incredibly sad sight to see.
Few things get me as riled up as unnecessary cruelty to animals. I'm having some seriously evil thoughts right now.

Gaggery: Let's get butt naked in Flock
So, I'm a little late to the game but having come across CSS Naked Day on Clive "Noooooooo! He be hiatusin' his bukkit" Murray's monkeywitterwebbleethingammy, I thought I'd have a go.
I'm just glad we don't have to remove the laboured puns from our blog post titles as well. (Yeah, sorry about that.)
