Woeful Wednesday ...

Oh dear, it's that time of the week when everything starts to catch up with me and my creative juices aren't quite as ... juicy

I've had 2 hours sleep in 48 hours so I'm off to bed but I wanted to leave you with a few little nuggets to (hopefully) entertain you. I wouldn't want you to think I'd forgotten you or that I don't care ...



Ladies, maybe there ARE some arguments FOR having plastic surgery after all ...














Men ... when playing with your tools (and we know you do, we're not stupid, we know exactly what you're doing when you spend all that time in the garage) be sure to heed this warning ...















Isn't it bad enough being called "Orefice" without then marrying someone called "Rump"?










This book could save your life ...


How To Avoid Huge Ships by John W Trimmer

This is the opening paragraph and a description:

"When walking down a local thoroughfare, or perhaps on a day out to your local dock, and suddenly, seemingly from nowhere, a 40ft metallic compound hull emerges in your line of sight, it is most likely, if not definitely, going to be - a huge ship"

It's theoretical groundwork like this which lacks from today's 'pick and choose' postmodern discourse. Trimmer unleashes this devastating examination with relative ease; most interestingly with chapters such as "Avoiding the ship itself: Moving Left or Right?" which comes up with a flurried and meticulous deconstruction of ethics and theoretical obstacles, for instance "is there anything on either side of the huge ship? - if so, and there is, it is probably, if not definitely, going to be - difficult to move round to that side of the huge ship".


You can buy it on Amazon where it seems to have had a rather good response, here are some comments:

"I've been plagued by huge ships all my life. Ever since I can remember. This book tells you all you need to know about avoiding these everyday hazards. Now I can come and go with complete freedom. Even my weekly shopping is a pleasure!"


"Before I bought this book I often found avoiding huge ships to be a constant problem. Not a week would go by without some sort unforseen collision occuring and ruining my day.

Then a friend bought me this book, and it has transformed my life. I won't give too many of its insightful findings away, but one thing it taught me was to keep my eyes open for any super-tonne moving objects in my path by observing tell-tale secondary effects such as eclipsing of sunlight or other local weather effects (eg. localised protection from rain). It also taught me to try to stay clear of main shipping routes and the sea generally as this is where huge ships are said to frequent"




Death by tray ... you've probably seen this before, but frankly, I don't care! It's an oldie but goodie ...

OMG... The screwdriver instructions caused a 20 second cringe I can still feel on the back of my teeth...

Have a good last day tomorrow there!

Girl Interrupted said...

lol Sorry Eric, it is a bit of an "ouchie" moment

And thanks :) I'll certainly try to

Peggy said...

Hilarious nuggets Girl I! Sleep tight crazy girl!

MJenks said...

Well, now you've taken all the fun out of my new screwdriver set. Wait a second...nothing on there about avoiding anal insertion, is there? Whoopee!

Also, I think the prequels would have been augmented positively by a few well-placed "Do you know who the fuck I am?"

words...words...words... said...

"How To Avoid Huge Ships" is effing hilarious. Your sense of humor is wacky in the good way, not the Howie Mandel way. I wish I'd thought of that.

And just a tip...you should probably stop staying up all night.

Vic said...

I have huge ship PTS. It's hard to find a therapist that specializes in that, so it's untreated. Even ships in a bottle trigger a panic attack.

Phat Mama said...

*snugs you* Get some rest, sweet girl.

Girl Interrupted said...

Thanks Peggy :P Glad you enjoyed them


mjenks ... I agree! And have fun with your screwdrivers


words!!!! ... *evil glare* ... and I'm not sure who Howie Mandel is ... but I'm glad I'm slightly more amusing than him :)


Haha Vic :P ... *covers the pic of the nasty ol' boat*


Thank you P Mama :) *snugs back*

sas said...

eddie is on twitter and his tweets and surprsiginly banal. quite disappointing really.

Girl Interrupted said...

sas, that's surprising, you'd think they'd be quirky and hilarious. Think he concentrates on acting more, these days, which is a shame. I've heard Stephen Fry gives good twitterage

mo.stoneskin said...

I can't believe you named your wifi network "Boobies". How crude.

Girl Interrupted said...

Mo ... what can I say? I was struggling for inspiration and they were ... out there

Hope you're going to post something today Mister! Starting to get withdrawal symptoms!

OG said...

I'm glad something good came out of that lawsuit I filed with the screwdriver company. Nobody else will ever have to go through that pain again.

Girl Interrupted said...

O.G. ... !!!!!!!! lol

Sass said...

I love stupid warnings on products.

Love them.

Girl Interrupted said...

Sass ... I saw another one that read "Use care when operating a car" - on a bottle of dog pills!

I love it when stuff makes my mind boggle

Tash said...

Those Rump-Orefice children are going to grow up to be such assholes.

Girl Interrupted said...

Hahaha ... very good! :P

Thanks for stopping by, Tish Tash :)

Anonymous said...

Rump and orefice, bound together by god forever and ever. That can't be real, can it?

Girl Interrupted said...

JP ... I so want to believe it

Prunella Jones said...

Hope you get some good sleep. Have you tried Melatonin? 3 of those 3mg. absolutely knocked me out even after all the caffeine I guzzled.

I wonder if Rump and Orefice met at a proctologist's office?

Girl Interrupted said...

Thanks Pru ... I haven't, but I've just bought something called Noctura which is a homeopathic remedy, I figure it's worth a try.

Ha! More than likely :P

Dr Zibbs said...

I need to check out this Izzard bloak later.

Girl Interrupted said...

You should, he can be hilarious.

Ps: You just scored so many extra points for using "bloak" (although it should be "bloke" ... I deducted points for that)
