We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Ship, Shore, Wave sounds like the funnest game so far. I had to look up the word "stoop," though, making me feel quite stoopid. askye's play also sounds like the most fun. I think I have nostalgia for the attitude that lets you get absorbed in simple activities like that. Like how I used to have so much fun making little canals between the puddles that formed in tractor tire tracks.

And we will call it... "This Land."

God, we used to play Red Rover at recess in second grade...

I remember watching kids play it... they didn't invite me often since, being a fat kid, I could get some real momentum going.

Spent most of my elementary years falling off the merry-go-round (always had band-aids on my knees, ruined all my tights) and digging warrens in the sand or re-enacting Empire Strikes Back with the other unpopular kids. The unpopular boys, I should say. The girls didn't want anything to do with me.

Anyway, I'm absolutely burning with curiosity about something--I'm sure you can guess what--even though I know it's absolutely none of my business...
Now I'm burning with curiosity as to what Angus is burning with curiosity about, though I too have a guess....

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Of real interest to Aussies only: Parkinson interviews Ricky Gervais and Michael Palin this Saturday night.

Oh and just saw a cryptic promo for a new Andrew Denton series on the ABC!!

Angus, insent - assuming you were asking about a particular poster's "return" this week...


Fiona - Feb 28, 2003 4:15:25 am PST #2357 of 9843

Me too, please Jim, if it's not too much trouble.... And btw, what is the status on tapes? You had two more, I think, which you were going to send out...?

Speaking of which: John H. and Nilly - I will email you as soon as I get the chance.

Jim were you referring to the 'Enough Rope' Denton ad?

Parkinson interviews Ricky Gervais and Michael Palin this Saturday night.

There's a review in the Herald which says that Gervais is disturbingly like Brent in real life. Talk about must-see.

And yes, the new Denton show is called "Enough Rope". What do you want to know about it? Colleagues were discussing it in the pub this evening...

It's true, actually.

Fiona - Jesus! Two tapes (and secret Other Place Goss email) insent right now - they've been in my desk for a month.....

It's true, actually.

OK double-must-see-TV.

I watched the whole of the first season of the Office over two days, because I got lent a preview copy on video.

I have to say that some of it was so unbearable that I watched from behind a cushion, some was so unbearable that I watched from the hallway, and some was so unbearable that I just couldn't bear it and had to fast-forward -- specifically, the episode where he sang and played guitar.
