'And Get a Haircut!'


Vader is awesome. I'm glad I'm not a father as I'm sure he'd be my role model.

Saturday is here and, jeez louise, not a moment too soon. I don't know about you folks but this week was a complete grind for me - by Friday I was ready to bite the heads of bats. Anyway, the blessed weekend is here and we have a wonderful assortment of entries to take in. So get your favourite beverage, sit back, and enjoy the show.

Oh, one more thing: I've awarded the bonus points for the 'Epic Fail' round, which is just in time as our foray into 'Defensive Terrain' begins tomorrow. I've seen some of the entries and I tell ya, they're pretty darn cool.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. I really have to get my act together - the lead mountain isn't getting any smaller!

    1. You clearly don't understand how lead mountains work mate. They're not meant to get smaller!

    2. Tell me about it - my Foundry order only arrived Thursday arvo! Too late, alas, for what I had planned...

      And I did take a few days away in Tasmania, but I refuse to regret one minute of that - the food and the booze and the scenery were incredible...!

    3. Hmmm, I'm waiting for a long-delayed Foundry order as well. Perhaps I should send them a note...

    4. ...and I'm jealous about your vacation in Tazmania - it sounds lovely. Are there big spiders there? :)

    5. Tasmania is basically trees, mountains, logging towns and rain - sort of a bijou British Columbia with eucalypts.

      As for spiders, none that I could see, though my eyesight may have been dimmed by the quantities of excellent local wine and single malt whisky I ingested during my stay...

  2. *Still chuckling at that GIF*

    I know what you mean about weeks that grind on; I get a lot of those at work - my desk has a bit of a forehead-shaped bowl from some of the frustrations I have to deal with. It's either bang your head or give someone a "Glesgae kiss" and get hauled in front of a disciplinary panel. It's amazing the stupidity and ignorance you have to deal with in a university - "we recruit the best and the brightest staff and students"...yeah, right ;)

  3. That's a good one alright. It's been a naff week for me as been pretty laid up with a stomach bug... Shall we call it Millsys revenge...

    So nothing from me this weekend. But I am looking forward to seeing what the weekend crew have got in store , and the bonus round creations

    1. I've often been accused of giving people the sh1ts but never quite like that...

  4. Don't bite the heads of bats Curt, they have rabies. Or maybe they carry the Zombie virus. And we don't want Zombie Curt, now do we.

    I'm looking forward to this Bonus round as we've got some people who are good at scratch building.

    1. Sarah would argue that it's too late - Zombie Curt already shambles the halls of our house (especially in the morning, before coffee). :)

  5. Curt - I must say I find this whole "bat head biting" theme very distressing. Sometimes we choose words with a hoped for shock value and I think that's what you were going for but sadly you've fallen short and just made us all concerned about your dietary choices.

    Now if you had, instead, used the term "bite the head of of Kittens" I think you would have been very pleased, indeed, with the reaction. Statistically, the SVtS ratio (Shock Value to Syllable ) ratio ratio for bats is just 2.34 but with kittens it jumps to 11! That's right, kittens go to 11!

    1. Is this a nod to your snowed in dietary choices. Are you down to bbqing tabbies?

    2. Yes, Miles but there's no poetic alliteration to 'biting the heads of kittens'. Besides, I kinda like kittens (definitely more than my coworkers)...

    3. It was a long way to go to get a Spinal Tap reference in

    4. Why not just make kittens ten?

    5. But, you guys don't get it, I kinda actually like biting the head of bats...
