How about Osama Bin Laden
caught on his way to the corner shop
to buy condensed Milk (his fovorite)
And Brazil in bubonic plague scare.

Nope, not even close.

"AIDS Cure Found In Dolphin Livers."

[sub] "PETA, GreenPeace Members Commit Mass Suicide."

'Brown retires to Scotland in huff & as First Mininter Elect, declines further subsidies from Sassenach taxpayers.'

Normilly I can spel all write...even hard words like mininster.

Now if only we can get bin Laden into that headline.

Who si Rooney?


Posted by lemuel at June 8, 2006 10:26 PM

Lemuel, it's an English thing.

I suspect more people in Britain know the location of Wayne Rooney's metatarsal than know where Basra is.


Posted by Perry de Havilland at June 8, 2006 11:04 PM

I knew that, was just trying to tease, sorry.


Posted by lemuel at June 9, 2006 12:04 AM

Never heard of the guy. Of course on my side of the pond we don't follow soccer. I assumed you were talking about Andy Rooney as in "fit to be tied".

And they say good news doesn't sell newspapers!

Doesn't much matter that Zarqawi is dead. Bushco's war machine will march on devouring everything in it's path in Iraq in the name of profit and greed. It makes me sick to be an American.

I don't know about Static Brian, you seem to have more of a Shrivelled Brain!

Static Brain -

Now that Zed's dead I think people should try to reconcile their differences and come together. A bit of a sing song may help things in that direction so I'll try to get things going.

I did consider a bit of Will Smith (Boom! Shake The Room maybe?) or the lovely Lulu (My heart goes Boom bang-a-bang/boom bang-a-bang/When you are near/Boom bang-a-bang, boom bang-a-bang/Loud in my ear Pounding away, pounding away .... )

But no, we don't want to appear culturally insensitive now, do we?! In that vein I reckon we should kick off with It's In The Koran

Don't be too despondent even if you are a leftie cliche.
You've qualified for the world cup and will have plenty of opportunity to support the opposing teams. you might be lucky and get france or even better iran in the knockout stages.

I note that so many of the fascist sympathizer, shriveled brain Yanks who are so ashamed to be such..... never seem to leave.


Posted by Uain at June 10, 2006 03:43 AM

The Brain does, in fact, appear to be Static......no movement there at all. Perhaps it's Dead Brain & likely brain-dead.
