That's a very perky marmot

Will he be my friend?

(

Wifey, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:23, archived)

but of course!

he is friend to everything and everyone, except the furtive polar bear - of whom he is a little afraid.

a marmot is a friend for life

for everyone

Photoshop Dave Gorman

Right. Dave has been a good boy, and replied to his interview questions.

Now, do you fancy photoshopping him so we have something to brighten up the interview with?

I did once see a mouse like that

but it was in Lancashire. Which is not the same thing at all.

Quick survey...

(james, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 3:58, archived)

i keep getting a million billion emails

saying 'Hi' but i think they are all my friends, sending me a nice screensaver. So no problems here really at all then.

(

pep, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 4:58, archived)

oh yes,

send me that screensaver - it sounds fun! I will send it to all my friends too.

(Esteban, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:07, archived)

has anybody dared look at the screensaver?

or would that be stupid...

(

rob, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:08, archived)

other people have had the same mail as me?

but it was from all my special friends... I don't, I don't understand.

(

pep, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:12, archived)

Erm - stupid

It's not a screensaver... but you knew that yes?

It's everywhere at the moment, although we are only getting it from our computer suppliers...

(

chthonic, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:18, archived)

you get your computer supplier to supply you with

viruses? Well, if it works for you , but...

(

pep, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 5:25, archived)

it doesnt do anything (the screensaver that is)

weve had around a 1000 an hour since 9am yesterday. we deliberately infected a machine early on to have a root around in it, and its a pissy, really crap, pointless boring virus. NEXT!

well done!

more b3ta in my morning paper please, it was a pleasant surprise to open m3tro and find an article on "photoshopping", next time though they really need to show a furtive bear to capture the full essence of b3ta. they kept a bit quiet about the gay animals as well.

(Zannusi-Beatz, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 3:32, archived)

A bit late but anyway

happy birthday to rob.

Ostrich seller

I was wondering around some of my photo cds and i came across these images. I thought they looked funny so thats why i posted them

(vinnie, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 3:06, archived)

thought for the day

Why do the Metro copy stories verbatim from Wired? :)
More b3ta coverage...

(

AndyK, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 2:54, archived)

and they don't copy

all of their material from elsewhere then?

I liked the way they did re-edit it to concentrate more on 'london-based' site b3ta. Like where the server is means anything at all...

(

chthonic, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 3:55, archived)

the location does matter ...

... I think our sensibility is quite different to Fark.

What suprises me is that most journos don't send an email before they write something.

It's not hard, we don't bite, and fresh quotes are loads better than cut & paste.

(

rob, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 3:59, archived)

Ah the location of the people

rather than the server...

silly me. All I think about is computers :)

(

chthonic, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 4:25, archived)

errr - Rob, you do bite

I saw you with that baby the other day.
No head now. You can't tell me that's a coincidence.

Thought for the day

If a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat, you'd have to be a right git to give them a fun size one

(Man In A Suitcase, Wed 5 Dec 2001, 2:26, archived)

unless they're

very small children. Fun size children. Great for throwing over fences.

The original picture is about McDonalds celebrating the 10th aniversary of its monopoly game.

I heard

the game was rigged from the get-go.

Gettin there..

Just to give you a preview of what my flash'll look like:

woo

(Kimbo, Tue 4 Dec 2001, 23:41, archived)

that looks

great so far!!! Gotta leave work now but I eagerly await your efforts tomorrow! I'll track down old Harry or a relative and point it out to them.

Dad's Balls

are stuck. I produce for a radio station in Sydney and one of my Brisbane colleagues, Rod Henshaw recorded this hilarious tale earlier in the year. It's been edited for brevity's sake. I'm no good at flash movie thingies but I reckon it'd make a great animation if anyone could be at all bothered. The old bloke's name is Harry and he decided to hold his own wake so he could see how much people loved him.. Rod was invited along and this was one of the tales to come out of the day. By the way, a Kelpie is a breed of working dog :-)

Umm..

I was just putting together some pics to make said flash movie, and found this:

Harry's balls

Hownow - Hello, I am "Son of Harry" - thanks for your support for the old bloke - he just loves the attention.

I have a copy of the tape played in Brisbane by Rod Henshaw, but none of us expected it to be played in Sydney. My wife, Gill and my sister Jane loved being able to talk to Richard about it.

I guess you are part of the ABC in Sydney - let me know.

It seems that Kimbo from the b3ta chat room is also quite taken with the story - I think he is trying to put a gif file together based on the story.

Thanks for your interest - it helps keep the old bloke alive!

Regards

I just realized that the person who made The Greatest Video Ever Made (dancing naked yatta boys! ^^) goes to my college. small world!

anyone else

notice the complex cinematic techniques used in the london video? for example at the start he is made to look happier and morepowerful, and toward the end he gets sadder and less powerful? ill tell you why it does this if you tell me secret to enternal life

(Naughty Tortoise, Tue 4 Dec 2001, 16:09, archived)

i hasten to disagree:

at the start of the film, Mr Veitch comes across to the audience as a strong and healthy young crab, but as the film proceeds he develops an air of omnipotence that is almost overpowering. This reaches a climax in the final scene, where our crustacean hero is seen to be single-handedly commanding a fort.

I would choose to have him on my side over Jesus and Michael Jackson.
