Talk To Strangers

STRANGER DANGER!

Ha, no need to worry about that little catch anymore. Thanks to the power of the interweb, you can now talk to complete strangers without fear of them showing you their puppies, or hypnotizing you with a bag of sweets.

This strange little website has led to the wonderful game of trying to see how quickly you can piss of the stranger that you connect with. I have transcribed my first attempt:

You: sex
Stranger: oletko suomest+
Stranger: ?
You: sex
Stranger: älä vaan taas sano että se oot sinä sex
Stranger: sex
You: cool
Stranger: from?
You: UK
Stranger: ok
Stranger: ok
You: what's your favourite sex
Stranger: I dont is harrastanut anything sex
You: harrastanut is that like doggy style?
Stranger: I dont hobby anything sex
Stranger: no
You: hmm. are you like Morrisey?
Stranger: no
You: so you do like sex, you just haven't had any
Stranger: ok
Your conversational partner has disconnected

Awesome

A word kidnapped by cheesy Americana, but that should have just been used for things like this:



Click to biggerize for full effect. Love the sun looking down over the chaos.

And also quite awesome, the blog I just found that I nicked it from some lovely stuff there from this designy type fellow.

There is no real reason I should like this, but it's brilliant. I think it's just the song. Love it.

Summer Drinkers

Through your premature sunglasses you see me approaching. Put on your cool face. Vent some smoke in my general direction. Laugh or smile, it's your choice, at the thing your friend just said.

How I hate thee.

Where were you in the winter? Autumn even?

No place for you then to be sat outside, amidst the wind and the rain and the sleet and the other stuff that falls from the sky that isn't sunbeams.

What's wrong with inside the pub eh? The creak of a chair. The crackle of a fire. A raft of winter coats slouching upon not enough coat hangers.

Get back. Back to whence you dwell in the winter months. Hibernating under cocktail umbrellas like little moths, waiting to dust yourself down once more for the summer months.

I swat thee.

Creative Director Competition

The place where I work will be getting a new CD this week.

I, like most of the creatives in the agency, see it as an opportunity. Although the bloke who is leaving is a great guy, we need the bloke coming in to be a great CD.

I need it for my career. The agency needs it because we don't get anywhere near enough good work out the door.

So, here is a priceless opportunity for the agency, will they:

(a) Grasp the nettle and appoint a CD who inspires, leads, fights suits

(b) Appoint a CD who is merely a Yes Man, showing face but merely seeing out the latter days of his career

(c) Appoint a suit who is just pretending to be a CD

(d) Other

The answer will be published in about a week.
