: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE MADE THIS WEEK
  Other than making their mothers feel shame
  
  * P*RNHUB COMMENTS ON CARTOONS -
  @quasirealSmiths writes, "Just thought maybe
  you'd like some random bots I whipped up because
  I got bored.  Takes daily Heathcliff strips and
  grabs a random p*rnhub comment and mixes them."
  Good stuff, although we had to look up who
  Heathcliff is, basically a less successful
  Garfield, by our reckoning.

  * NEVER MIND THE BOLLARDS - Sheep writes, "Hello
  B3ta - if you're still after stuff for the
  newsletter, I made something about bollards"
  Thank you Sheep, we are ALWAYS after stuff for
  the newsletter, this thing doesn't fill itself
  you know.

: HEBTROCO SPONSORSHIP
  Go on buy some jeans

  Listen up B3tans, seeing as we sit at the
  coveted intersection between middle-age, comedy
  and programming, we're probably dressed very
  badly indeed. Help is at hand with Hebtro, with
  their durable threads, all made in the UK to the
  highest standards. You lucky people.

: FESSHOLE 
  Your confessions fessed up like cat vomit

  Each week you shout your fibs into the void and
  we pick out a few to share on Club Penguin:

  * WANK MATERIAL - "Standing naked in the
  bathroom, about to get in the shower, I had a
  fart brewing in front of my wife. To put on a
  show I squatted to let it out in all its glory
  and shat on the bath mat. 5 years later I'm
  getting divorced, can't help but feel this
  incident may have caused it."

  * OLD CODGER TODGER - "My old Dad - divorced
  from my mum - lives in an old people's home. His
  'son in law' visits his room every 2 weeks or so
  to say hi. In reality he's a bloke we found on
  Grindr who's into older guys and gives Dad a
  good time. No regrets. Care home doesn't know."

  * CATS - "My neighbour is a massive cunt. I've
  had a number of run-ins with him, but his cat is
  lovely and spends most of his time at my house.
  The amount of satisfaction I get from thinking
  even his own cat thinks he's a cunt is huge."

  Pre-buy the book from Dillons in Wolverhampton:

  Buy tickets for the Christmas show in, god,
  continuing this shitty joke, err, put on by the
  sixth-formers at Smestow Comprehensive.

: SITES IN BRIEF
  Links your dad will be sending round in 2032

  * QUEUE GAME - We've seen two games based on the
  Queue this week, this being the slickest.  No
  idea if it is possible to actually win, but
  we're sure we'll find out what happens at the
  end when Pip Schofield uploads a speed run.
https://queensqueue.com

  * LIFE IN MEXICO - A soundboard exploration of
  Mexico City, which we enjoyed both because we
  like a good soundscape, and also because this
  makes the place seem like Richard Scarry's
  Busytown. 
https://pudding.cool/2022/09/cdmx/

  * BAND NAMES - Coming up with band names is more
  fun than having to actually form a band, and
  this one lets you submit your best ideas and
  compete with the likes of Pub Scouts and Haribo
  For Breakfast in the battle of the band names.
https://bandnames.cool

  * INTRODUCING THE 'NORTHERN BOYS' - Of course
  you want to watch a load of old dudes rapping.
  More entertaining than it sounds because they
  really go for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch

  * MEOW - And of course you want a roleplaying
  game where you play a left-wing cat.
https://twitter.com/deathbybadger/status/157255891...

  * LEGO DRUM MACHINE - the best video you'll see
  this week is this genius teaching Lego how to
  play a drum machine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch

  * MIMECAST - taking a gag too far this guy has
  produced four mime podcasts which largely
  consists of rustling.
