“A bunch of guys in Texas decided to pull a prank on one of their more gullible buddies, using a TiVo as the primary tool. What they did was record a previous lottery drawing, then buy a ticket with those numbers. They then told the gullible friend to buy a ticket and come on over; somehow, they switched tickets with him at some point during the night. So, when they decided to play the recorded lottery results (they told him that they TiVoed it earlier that night), he thought he had the winning numbers. Look at this video and you’ll see how he reacted (there’s lots of swearing here, so if you’re at work, keep the audio down), and you’ll see the pained expression on his face as his buddies tell him what’s up. Priceless.”

Cubed3 Year In Review here.

Look whose bit is third from the top just after the big cheeseeeees.

went on oink:

Between the 24th of December and the 1st of January GMT (inclusive), downloading will not affect your share ratio in any way.

We will still be recording uploaded amounts, but ignoring downloaded.

For those of you who don’t often download because you are concerned it will affect your stats too much, now is your chance to get everything you’ve wanted. Similarly, those of you who are struggling to maintain a decent share ratio, now’s your chance to seed everything you’ve previously downloaded or upload your own stuff, knowing that it will probably be downloaded much more.

Because we don’t want the site to be flooded with new users hoping to cash in on this, users who joined after December 23rd are not included in this and all stats will still be recorded as normal.

If this proves too much for us to handle, we may cut this short, but really hope that won’t be the case.

Merry Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Got iiiiit.

Not played much so far. It takes a bit to get into Animal Crossing, so it’ll get good sooooon.

I want to trial the blog with the coloured banner. It’s too drab, we need just a splash of colour in the banner, the centrepiece, to brighten it up, and I think the faces will accomplish it. I’ll only change it for a bit, and only if you guys agree.

Wow.

Classic.

Update: Changed the link.

So they finished it last night.

I know they had to end it, but did they have to end it in the most bastardised way possible? For Sy’s notice, they played clips of the contestants joking about it being false and then revealed it to be fake. It was awful, they could’ve done it a bit nicer.

Keri took it well, but the guys were devastated, you could tell that they just had fixed grins on and were trying to go with the flow - they both looked like they wanted to cry multiple times and were refusing to make eye contact with Johnny. It was downright nasty, they must’ve felt like such pieces of shit at fucking Johnny basically laughing at them and telling them they were owned. Thought one of them was gonna hit Charlie.

I bet you cried laughing Turon. You bastard.

Blog’s basically redesigned.

Only problem is, can’t make the sidebar the light grey. Sy can sort that.

well i got them, and everything seems so fucking clear. its scary. lol.

going to see how much it’ll cost me to whack in my new lenses into my old frames as a backup.

anyway when people see my new frames they so “bloody hell!” or “whoa!” the optician said “bloody hell!” at first. said they are a huge difference from my old pair, but reckons i can pull off the style he said to give it a few days for people to get used to them and all will be ok.

i was a bit unsure at first, they are bigger than my old ones, but now i really like them, i like reading the newspaper with theeem and makes me look like a journaliiist. lol. (i shit you not i’m writing an article at the moment about Wireless USB got some shit printed out to annotate and i’ll lob it up after the weekend for y’all to reeead.) my mum said they were really nice from the word go and afiza said they’re cool. dont’ expect youguuys to like it straight away, don’t expect anyone to, cos it’s such a big difference. it’s like getting a hair cut really short, but then you get used to it and it looks a’right. so hopefully i’ll look okee after a biiit.

anyway we must meet up next weeek.

update:

A’right, I think we’ve had the same banner for too long. Last time I did a banner, it went horribly wrong with certain elements. I’ve now done a banner and made two versions of it - if you both like them, I wanna change the CSS a little bit as well to put it a bit more in-tune with the new banner. It might not even need them if it looks good without changes.

Images removed as I’ve put the banner up.

I think I prefer the greyscale. Thoughts on both?

So there you go. They’re terrorists. If they don’t get my games to me in the next two days I’ll send this to The Sun, they’ll print anything.

FUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS.

What a class album. One of the best of the year in my eyes. Bloody love Juicebox and Razorblade. And Electricityscape.

Still not listened to the MF Doom album…

UPDATE UPDATE: Ize Of The World is probably the best song on the album. Nice cut off as well, think it might be the real ending - ‘VAPOuR-’ cut, like the song’s vapourising away.

saw this on someone’s blog and thought “i have to nick that”. so you might want to use it, mase.

Little Britain has beaten Ricky Gervais’ Extras to the title of Best TV Comedy of 2005 at the 16th annual British Comedy Awards.

“Are they having a laugh? Are they having a laugh?”

That was part Extras quote, part ‘oh my God which retard made that decision’.
