For those who didn't see the 7's pics, here they are

In no particular order



Smudge doing his lip exercises



Cat woman got quite a lot of attention. Can't see why



The bottom zip was scary. We all managed to crack one out though.



Ninjas in the lift



The ears have it



He's so cute when he's asleep



I'm so purdey!



So that's the attraction.



Sleeping pt 2



Jules came up with the phrase of the weekend; "ninja go peepee"



This may be my all time favorite picture of the ginger avenger



Sleeping pt 3



Jules and Bubble



Stealth buninja



Apparantly I watched some games



And put on some weight



I think this was just after he woke up.



Jules and Bubble again



Jules pontificates her next drinking move



That's my bubble



Rich got smurfed



Blow-up swords at the ready



The three .. err .. fat ninjas



Stealth Collis-ninja



Some bloke in a costume who thinks he looks like a ninja. Do ninjas carry mobile phones? No they bloody do not.



I think I've dropped me liver



A hearty breakfast is the essential start to every ninja's day



No body saw him coming



Jules (still) pontificating



Jules and her Rene Zellwigger impersonation. Bubble before the fall.

Theer's tons more And several which self destructed when I tried to upload them to the website but I think you get the idea. Jezzer the Lezzer decided to stay in his jeans and baseball cap. The Chav.

Mornin' all

We haven't had any nutty religious stuff in a while and this turned up on b3ta today. It's a Creationalist science fair aimed at getting kids to perform experiments in support of creationalist and Intelligent Design theory. For those of you not as fascinated with nutjob creationalists as me, Intelligent Design theory (ID) is a set of theories dreamt up by some religious hoohas to make creationalist theory sound believably secular. They did this because the teaching of religiously based theories is not legal in several states of "the Union". Thus they are working to force Creationalist theory onto the school curriculum. In one recent case the school board in a particular state (can't remember which) were ordered to remove stickers from evolution textbooks that read "Evolution is a theory not a fact". I rekon they should have simply been forced to place a sticker on all bibles saying "may be fiction".

Back to the matter at hand and B3ta pointed out the scaled down arc full of Gerbils and the "my uncle is a man named Steve (not a monkey)" exhibit. The whole site is fascinating in an evangelical who the fuck are these nutters sort of way but this one especially caught my eye, as it crosses the boundries of ID theory. It won 2nd Place in the Middle school competition and is entitled : "Women Were Designed For Homemaking"

Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the
natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker.

Fucking ace. And for his next trick, Jon-boy will go on to prove through research that "slavery was a justifiable use of animal resource" in which he will point out such scientifically provable truths as; "negroes can be proved to not be intelligent by the empirical measurement of their brainpans" - an actual scientific theory of the 1800s, but you can't ask kids to do groundbreaking research can you?

Bloody hatstand.

Sevens - The aftermath

Far from keeping you updated with a blow by blow account of our '05 Sevens I ... errr ... got pissed and forgot. I did upload tons of pictures, although MSN groups seems a little slow today. They should be here let me know if the linky doesn't work and I'll do something with it (not sure what, just trying to sound techy). Group decision was that sevens weekend shuold be an annual meet-up. Early ideas for next year is the cow costume. They won't let me make my own, though; Rich says I'm just a sad old woman with an udder fixation.

In other news Rich bought a PSP, which has me all green and jealous like. While pissed on Sunday Bubble gave me permission to get one (then tried to cancel said permission later) so pay day here we come! Any one thinking of getting a Nintendo DS, don't bother; the PSP blows the shit out of it. Rich also got me a copy of GT4. Now, people have died of boredom waiting for this game, so I was very interested to see just how the hell they thought they'd improve on GT3. So here it is, Bomber's first impressions;

• Graphics are gorgeous. No apparant background pop-up whatsoever
  
• Load times are long (probably graphics have a lot to do with this.)
  
• If you haven't finished at least 60% on GT3, you don't stand a chance on this game. It's too fucking hard. Domestic B license involves whole circuit time trials...
  
• It's fucking HUGE
• I'm not sure I'm keen on the navi interface, races are split up by country so it's difficult to get an overview.
  
• GT style racing has taken a hit, play to find out
• You can't win by just boosting up the power, the race matches you against cars of similar BHP. I suspect handling upgrades are the way to go.
  
• the GT4 driving model makes GT3 look like an arcade racer. Handling seems to have been completely revamped and tire wear is in all races, as is fuel level.
  

Run, don't walk, to the shops and get this game if you've got any idea what's good for you. May require a steering wheel (a really expensive one) to get the best out of it.
