My friend Calli once told me that her uncle, who is a Christian hippy from up north, contracted these germs but wouldn't go to a doctor because God wouldn't let him (or something), so he ended up with boils. Then her brother touched her uncle (in a non-sexual way) and he also got boils. The moral of the story is to not go near anyone from Newcastle.
I think Jeremy Pencil and I were meant to announce the winner of our piñata competition yesterday, but we didn’t. You see, I approached him on Tuesday to ask who he thought should win, but he, being the crazy Englishman that he is, had overwhelmed himself with work and could speak of nothing but a film he had watched a long time ago about a woman who one day miraculously discovered that she wasn’t actually paralysed (despite spending 15 years thinking that she was), stood up, fell down some stairs, and died. Yeah, I don’t really get it either.
SO ANYWAY, we eventually arrived at a winner this morning after a long-winded conversation about interns who secretly sniff chairs (don’t ask). The winner of our LocoRoco piñata is…SHMERKER!
Mr. ShMerker suggested that we make a piñata based on a Boomer from Left 4 Dead, so that’s exactly what I’m going to try to do in the coming weeks. It will be a challenge, but I think my balls are massive enough to handle this job. Mr. Pencil, on the other hand, will try his hand at making a Chain Chomp, as suggested by TheClearWinner. Mr. TheClearWinner, you are our runner-up and we are going to mail you a pie in a box. Seriously. We’ll be in touch soon about your prize, ShMerker. For the rest of you — TRY HARDER NEXT TIME.
A christian hippy? Must be the mid north coast!
Will it explode(more spectacularly than a normal pinata) upon impact? Explosives are fun!
Hmmmm…We *could* put some low-grade impact explosives in the boils – along with some egg whites dyed “pustulent” with food colourings and so on.
I like where your head is at!
