Re: DomZ - How Derren Brown Predicted The Lottery

Phyllis Falsus = Phillis lies. i.e. it is a real site (but if it's a fake site they could be just saying that, couldn't they).

What is interesting to me is the witchhunt references in borderwrenn.wav, when combined with a norg reference ("news organization").

How to win the national lottery? Don't play (Higher probability of greater "payout" by not spending that money in the first place).

Yes, well, next time you have to mutter "this is for DG" at the time.

Unless I'm standing there, because that would be farting in my general direction.

I refuse to be consoled on the grounds that I don't like tummyaches.

Hope you're feeling better now.

So if I pranced around, with a hanky, that would not be sexy? Can morris be sexy? http://www.morrismovie.com/

Perhaps uninspired is the new Sexy Sex? No?

Goodness I ask a lot of questions. For your inspiration, potentially Sexy Sex comment appearing elsewhere in 3...2...

I can take or leave peanut butter, so I think the elephant would be more interested in it than I would be. Now, getting to see the elephant lick peanut butter off the hobo's feet could be hilarious.

Since I only implied the point, to be clear: Since you're using film, taking some notes would be extra important, because there's such a large gap of time between when you take the shot and when you get to see any results

No, but maybe all the small airports have similar decorations?

I also see that tumblr's summary only made matters worse by having that as the only visible part. :/

Re: I FORGOT MY BROTHER'S 18th BIRTHDAY

dgordg — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:41:46 -0000

I know you are, but that sentence was the set up for the email. The two are joined. I was not saying one without the other.

The email only makes sense as a parody if someone has seen the book but not the twitter/tumblr. Just as his original email was from someone who apparently saw twitter and expected the book to be the same.

Therefore the (failed) humour is: "I am scared Tony will receive dumb emails opposite to the one he already received".

It's clearly a terrible attempt at joke when people who read the original email don't see it that way, so as I said: No offense was intended, and I'm gong to delete.

If you wish to discuss further, please feel free to email.

Re: I FORGOT MY BROTHER'S 18th BIRTHDAY

dgordg — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:29:58 -0000

"This" being the following parody of the email he received.

Perhaps I'm just having a humour fail. Will be deleting shortly.

Re: I FORGOT MY BROTHER'S 18th BIRTHDAY

dgordg — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:30:21 -0000

Point: People write stupid emails.

Sorry if that was not clear. I was simply going for a reversal of the email you got, which only works when they've seen the book but not the social media. Only humour intended.

(I hope your not mad.)

[Edited post to make it clearer that the "email" was part of my post, not part of the reblog]

I believe it usually falls under jealousy. Something like:

1. You seem to be popular.
2. I don't seem to be popular.
3. That's not fair.
4. There's no reason for you to be more popular than me.
5. THEREFORE you must not actually be popular.
6. THEREFORE what you're doing that makes you popular must have really been done by someone else.
7. I feel better now, even though it's at your expense.

*sigh*

Well OK, not "you" then, but my estimate was pretty good, no? :)

Stare away, as long as you don't miss your mouth with that beer.

Maybe we need to have a "who has the darkest eyes on Tumblr" competition...

Yes, there are free fart apps. However, I think that would only be making out with a fratboy in this metaphor.

Thanks. I think I need to rearrange the shovel storage facilities here in case of future incidents (currently all in the shed at the other end of the garden). The best I could find in the house was a hammer, which would have been far less than optimal.

The hands wrapped in towels is something I'll keep in mind for the future. I was thinking "these gloves aren't going to do anything if it bites." Thanks.

I *think* he's still writing despite it all.

dgordg — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:42:02 -0000

It's a horrible shame :(

However, I'm now very curious what you think the women he writes? My opinion, as a guy who wouldn't really know, is that they seem to fit your literary needs.
