: WHAT WE'VE DONE THIS WEEK
Other than twiddle our thumbs
>> Tramp O Claus <<
"I was walking home from the pub," writes
Rob Manuel, "and me and my missus saw a really
rubbish looking Santa poster. He looked more
like a tramp, really. So we started singing
a little song about it. Thought it might be
nice as a special little Christmas card for
b3ta readers."

>> Disney Tattoo guy interviewed <<
"I was sniffing about on the web," writes
Fraser Lewry, "and I found this bloke who has
87% of his body covered by Disney tattoos.
I thought it would be great to interview him
for b3ta." Yay. This guy is a bit of a
publicity hound and also asks if we can get
him onto UK telly. Louis Theroux are you
reading this? Here's is one for you.

>> Face Magazine photoshops <<
UK style magazine The Face got in touch and
asked our message boarders to re-design their
cover for them. They're printed in this months
issue. But here's a scan too:

>> New Weebl and Bob <<
This week Weebl appears on a chat show and
watches a load of episode outtakes. Huzzah.

: SOME STUFF TO READ
That should keep you busy this afternoon
>> Stupid Japanese Questions <<
Learn why Japanese people slurp noodles,
why cucumbers are described as green and
which tube line is the best for suicides.
Fascinating stuff. This site would make
a great book.

: B3TA RADIO
Your dad's worst gags
On this week's B3ta Radio we'll be laughing
at the worst gags the collective dads of
the b3ta-verse have ever cracked.
As usual we've had hundreds of suggestions.
Our favourite comes from Katiel who writes:
"I've been an accident prone ass most of my
life, and have ended up in the emergency room
more than a few times. My father's favourite
joke (no matter what has happened to me) is
to ask, 'Doctor, will she be able to play
the piano?' When the doctor affirms that yes,
I'll still be able to play, he always responds
with the same 'funny, she couldn't before...'"
Read them all. Some of this stuff will make
you wince.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Gangsta Challenge
Each week we run a competition to test your
creative skills. We set a challenge and you
open Photoshop and mess with our heads.
Last week we wanted you to gansterise things:
http://b3ta.com/challenge/gangster/
We asked B3ta boarder 'damocles' to judge the
entries - here are his 3 faves.
Damocles writes -
#1 "Mo'fo'care - Top shoppery with a top pun
to boot. And the way things are going, it's
only a matter of time before we see it on
the street. (Squid Ink)
http://b3ta.com/board/2446901
#2 "The rocks that one's got - Cell Block H
or The Queen? Memories of adolescent young
males watching religiously in the hope of
lezzer action have clouded my vision.
(Zak McFlimby)

#3 "Blingblingtrix - xcellent shoppery and how
the Matrix should have been." (Kiwi Damo)
http://www.b3ta.com/board/2456066
"The obligatory Special Mention goes to Jola
for an old joke remade with imagination."
