not funny or anything. And don't bother clicking on the link, it'll just take you to flickr.



Is this link completely rubbish?

A GEEKY SITE?! I'd have him know that I had a girlfriend once! And I don't like Star Wars!

This is a normal post the full quote is "And b3ta.com, a geeky site that's known for sick jokes."
it's been less savagely subbed for the online version:

I wouldn't say that. "Twisted humour" might be a more accurate description!

This is a normal post I often have to explain to strangers about B3ta
and I think we're best known in the real world for that thing with Richard Branson - that's what I get asked about anyway.

This is a normal post Didn't 'The Guardian'
describe b3ta as a 'Peurile art community'?

I think that's fair (and to be celebrated).

This is a normal post considering in the appendix
of attack of the unsinkable rubber ducks he makes reference to there only being one impossible feat performed in the books which is "like the author, both geeky and self indulgent" it's hardly a bad thing :D

This is a normal post I thought we were more of an autonomous collective with bi-weekly meetings rather than
a bunch of geeks!

This is a normal post My husband's always saying Chris is a b3tan.
In his latest book, A Snowball in Hell, he directly references b3ta. He also uses words like "twunt" and "fucktard" in that book. Haven't read any myself yet.

We are not geeks though ;o)
