: QUESTION OF THE WEEK /GOLD/
 "Age gap shag"

  "She was 46. I was 21. She had Bowie-esque
  angled features and a body not ruined by giving
  birth to her son, my friend, who we shall call
  Abel.

  "Outside a kebab shop at Canon Circus,
  Nottingham, she recognized me from Rock City,
  as I had spent the night getting hideously
  drunk with her son. We chatted, and, as is
  customary in town at 2.30 am early sunday,
  swiftly got down to tongue-exchange, much to
  the joy of horn-blowing passing taxis. 'Come
  with me' she purred,and gestured down Ilkeston
  Road, where she resided, 'spend the night'. I
  considered this proposition, weighed it against
  the fresh, satisfying prospect of eating the
  kebab I had just purchased...the kebab was
  binned. I was careful to inform her of this
  sacrifice. 'Thats romantic', she said demurely,
  and seemingly without irony.

  "A night of passion ensued, for about thirty
  minutes, whereabouts the booze took hold and I
  passed out, still in the process of a second
  run, a process akin to stuffing a marshmallow
  in a piggy-bank. In the morning, I hastily
  dressed and left, happy that her teeth were
  still in her mouth, not swimming in a bed-side
  jar.

  "For fear of Abel's revenge, I kept away from
  him and avoided Rock City for several weeks,
  until in a fit of Thunderbird Red-inspired
  courage, I ventured in. Instantly, I saw Abel,
  he saw me, and a game of cat and mouse ensued,
  ducking through the crowds, down corridors and
  stairwells to avoid the chunky thug. Then, just
  as I thought I was safe, he cornered me by the
  Gents, pushed me against the wall, pulled his
  head back ready to butt...then kissed me full
  on the lips and said, in an infantile
  voice...'Daddy'" (trumplefahrt)

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
  Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

  * TOILETS WITH THREATENING AURAS - probably the
  best named Twitter account you've seen this
  week and will doubtless inspire Xerox-dogs.
https://twitter.com/scarytoilet

  * MINI DAILY MAIL THING - Dr Dunno writes
  "Darren Cullen's mini Daily Mail is awesome.
  Have you done that before? This man is a
  genius. This piece is critical, satirical and
  piss-arse funny. A mini Daily Mail, hand drawn
  to perfection, satirising everything you hate
  about the Daily Mail, from the Littlejohn
  column ("the real racists are the people
  calling me racist for being racist") to the
  Diana supplement ("The Enemy Within" -
  highlighting the hypocrisy of the Daily Mail's
  deification of someone who stood up against
  everything they believe).  Every page contains
  a zinger, from the ads to the cartoons, that
  I'd have been proud of on its own, let alone as
  part of a wider project. He's kickstarting it
  at the moment."
https://www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/dailymai...

  * 10 HOURS OF "SORRY" THEME TUNE - comments
  include "my favorite moment is 6:15:28  didn't
  see that coming!", "This is my wife and my
  favourite music to make love to. Only problem
  is that the music ends before I do, could I get
  an 11 hour version please?" and  "needs to be a
  bit longer next time, please. Quite
  frustrating."
https://www.youtube.com/watch

  * THE WAY SCI-FI NERDS USED TO BE FEATURED ON
  TV IN THE 70s - spotted by Matt Round. The
  amazing nerds being nerds and casual sexism of
  the presenter is quite something.
https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/103842673554...

  * HOW PICTURE EDITORS REPRESENTED THE INTERNET
  IN THE 90s - "I enjoyed Mr Biffo's 90s Internet
  article" informs Monkeon.
https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-page/14-ways-ou...

  * SHIT QUIZ - can you tell which animal shitted
  it out? Sound recommended.
