Project Bowl

The Final Front Ear

Well, all that talk of new servers, new beginnings and new direction seem to have rung true.  They are all up and running smoothly, now we have the huge task of importing and formating!  But we DO have one less bill to worry about, which is a good thing! Heh! :)

This is the end of the current Project Bowl incarnation (goodbye Typepad, it was fun all these years with our on/off affair) but the end of a chapter doesn't mean the end of a book!  Far from it!

I can now be found blogging here and if you drop the stigmata from the url you will soon be able to access other PB bloggers too!  If any other blogger-wannabes want to become PB Bloggers then just let me know and I will set you up!  Le Portal has also relocated and is here.  If you haven't yet - go sign up!  News of the album's release will be detailed here!  Not long to go now folks! :)

Silent as the Blog

Heh. For those who are regular to Le Portal (and if not, why not?) you will know we are undergoing some major changes at present with server up-grades and wonderful things like that. The same is happening with the blogs because we just got our hands on some kickass bandwidth and space! Sweet! :) Just it takes time to re-write the programming and for propogation to take place... improvements should start to be visible in the next 24 hours or so with a bit of luck! :) Update: The bg image has disappeared because I'm an idiot and misplaced it... duh! Not connected to that server at the moment to re-upload it. Bloink!

The Hot Dog Goes On

This week saw the release of that movie we all groan at when we see any trailers for it, Titanic.  Love it or hate it it is a classic and is stacked with so much history and emotion.  But on this new Special Edition release there is a wealth DVD special bonus features.

A documentary entitled "Breaking New Ground" about the discovery of the real ship.  Except, surely, it should be entitled "Breaking New Waters" as it sunk and wasn't buried in concrete.

But, more amusing than that, it also includes an alternative ending.

What the hell?  You mean the boat DOESN'T sink?

There seems to be a problem, m'laud

Is anyone having probs accessing the Project Bowl blogs?  Tilesey just emailed me and he seems to be having some problems over there in England.  Everything looks fine and dandy from this end but the message he keeps getting is slightly alarming.  Hopefully it will resolve swiftly.  I sent a ticket help request to those lovely people at TypePad *waves* so fingers crossed it gets resolves asap.

In other news, we have been making tweaks over at Le Portal.  If you haven't signed up I totally recommend it - it's free and you get to meet a great bunch of people too.  Currently, in one of the hidden forums there, members can vote for Silk's new avatar which means it must be nearing Halloween.  Not that these two things are related,  but I just thought I'd point it out.  Bygones.

Harr! Time for bed!

Fuckin' Chuck Norris

Thanks to Nicole for sending me this!  Heh!

While playing the role of a Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris used live ammunition during all shootouts. When the director explained that he couldnt do that, he replied, "Of course I can, Im Chuck Norris," and roundhouse kicked him in the face.

When his martial arts prowess fails to resolve a situation, Chuck Norris plays dead. When playing dead doesnt work, he plays zombie.

Chuck Norris was the original treasure in National Treasure.

It is common knowledge that there are three sides to the force: The Light Side, The Dark Side, and Chuck Norris.

Scientists used to believe that a diamond was the worlds hardest substance. But then they met Chuck Norris, who gave them a roundhouse kick to the face so hard, and with so much heat and pressure that the scientists turned into artificial Chuck Norrisi.

I'd like to teach the world to sing...

The album is nearly here!  You cannot hold back the excitement, eh?  Ahem.  Yeah, I know that feeling too!  Bygones.  If you want to help spread the word on news of my forthcoming album then keep reading!

All help and support is really appreciated folks! Thanks! :)

Santa needs to shape up

This year we can hopefully expect to see no more skanky Santa's as the Ministry of Fun Agency has established guidelines for girth, beard length, attire, footwear and general demeanor of Mr Claus.

James Lovell, spokesman for the company, said, "Santa is a magical and cuddly man, not a fat, smelly slob.  He must not smell of drink or body odor and his 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' must resonate deeply."

Failure to match up to this image could see Santa's slapped with lawsuits and behind bars.  Yeah, like that would be a nice image... :P

Snails

You really have to ask why the hell we'd consider getting out of bed at 2.48am and look up "Snail Penis" in Google but really, there is an explanation... I went to grab Va-va a Bologna sammich (a pregnant craving) when I heard a splish splash from the fish tank. I flipped on the light and there I saw him... Mr Snail looking at his reflection in the glass... with this huge tentacle flapping around and tapping his mirrored self. "Oh my God, what is that?" gasped Va-va. "I... I... t...think, my dear..." stammered my reply, "that is the snails penis." Indeed it was. Good lord. I am just thankful safe search was on else I'd be having nightmares tonight!

Blast from the Past

Today was an amusing day when I was able to get in contact with an old friend on the other side of the pond.  Actually, I had totally missed it but Va-va spotted the persons web site on line and put 2 and 2 together to make 4 (not only can she cook, but hell she is a math wizard) and well, it just got me to thinking...

A few days ago I wielded the snippers and comb to cut Va-va's hair and create a work of art.  I don't like to blow my own trumpet (but, like Mr Ferguson, I certainly could... ahem) however I must say add that it is something out of a style magazine.  La-la has stolen borrowed the camera and is in D.C. at the moment but when she gets back on Thursday we'll include some photos on one of our blogs.  Hopefully Va-va will blog soon - the whole baby thing has left her a little blogless at present but we keep urging her to get those creative juices rolling...

Now, how did spotting this old friend remind me just how good I am with my hands? (Ahem)  Well, they used to be a top hair stylist in a trendy salon in London.  Ahh the way the mind just puts thought processes together, eh?

Happy Columbus Day!

And the irony of it is that every guest on the Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight was anything but American!  What a way to celebrate an America holiday...

Gotta love the Celts! ;)
