Our Daily Beard – 31/03/13

Happy Easter everyone!

Just a quick one today, a little poem!

More time for chocolate.

 

Sheeshter

It’s not about Jesus, whose tale is second hand at best,

It’s not about Eostre, as pagans might contest,

It’s not about Ishtar, the love and war goddess.

The eggs are a clue,

The bunnies are too,

While the flowers are growing,

And the sun is finally showing.

It’s about doing it.

Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it and chocolate.

Brains.

I reckon I’ll take this time today to get my endorse on.

There are a lot of comedy cartoon shows for adults- Family Guy, The Simpsons and Futurama (to an extent), American Dad, The Cleveland Show, South Park, yada.

There’s one more which has slipped under the radar for a lot of people: Archer.

Archer is now in its fourth series and hasn’t dropped a beat once in quality or humour. It’s a spy spoof, taking off James Bond and all the rest. Archer is an inept frat-boy agent who only has the gig with private intelligence agency ‘Isis’ because his mother runs it.

His mother is a horrible, horrible bitch. His co-workers are inept. He’s misogynistic and arrogant and somewhat thick.

In short, it’s hilarious! They make a surprising amount of language jokes, which always tickle me. For example: “I happen to have perfect situational awareness, Lana. Which cannot be taught, by the way. Like a poet’s … mind for … to make the perfect words.”

Anyway, look at youtube, because you can’t convey this stuff in word format.

Have a good Saturday, don’t forget Doctor Who!

Our Daily Beard – 29/03/13

Afternoon all.

I was wracking my brain for something to blog about today.

I failed.

But the caveat, and in many ways the idea, of this daily blog nonsense was that each day didn’t have to be an essay. Think of it a bit like a ‘thought for the day’. If my blog were an app, it would pop up each day with a short bit of chatter that you can read on one screen, or the occasional article, bit of news or update on my writing.

Yeah, so anyway, haiku about Game of Thrones:

Winter is coming!

The dead bring war on cold winds!

Put a jumper on!
