Overnumerousness!

Posted on Wednesday, 13 July, 2011 by Jeremy

[The 8+ Club are playing Street Countdown] Prime: Eighteen letters, I’ve never seen so many… he is the One. Roy: [incredulously] What are you… Prime: Shh! This is the longest word yet on Street Countdown! Unlike normal Countdown, you see… Roy: I don’t care. [The 8+ Club finish an acapella version of the Countdown music] Prime: Negative One? Negative One: Twelve. Moss: Sixteen. Prime: Your word, Negative One. Negative One: Enormousness. Moss: I shall give my answer, if I may, in the form of a joke. Prime: This is most irregular… Moss: What do you call Negative One sitting alone in an empty room? Prime: I don’t know, what do you call Negative One sitting alone in an empty room? Moss: Overnumerousness! Prime: Gyles?\ Gyles: Yes, that is a word! And the joke makes sense! The Final Countdown (The IT Crowd)

Starblazers!

Posted on Friday, 22 October, 2010 by Jeremy

I’m not sure what year it was, but I must have been only young. I was sitting in front of our wood framed colour (yes colour) Rank Arena television watching the Australia Broadcasting Corporation and I have memories of a space ship that looked like a sea going bulk hauler flying through space. It was at this point in time when my father brought in a National Video Cassette Recorder and turned off the television. Whilst the VCR was amazing technology for the time, I had no concept of what it did and it certainly made it difficult to work out what the tv show was. I never saw the show again. Over twenty five years later I was looking through the Virtual Primate blog and what did I find? A bulk carrier that is actually a spaceship! I can … Continue reading →

Mysterious ways – U2

Posted on Wednesday, 20 October, 2010 by Jeremy

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon Let her pale light in to fill up your room You’ve been living underground Eating from a can You’ve been running away From what you don’t understand… Love   She’s slippy You’re sliding down She’ll be there when you hit the ground   It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright She moves in mysterious ways It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright She moves in mysterious ways   Johnny take a dive with your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things you can’t explain To touch is to heal To hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel   (on your knees boy)   She’s the wave She turns the tide She sees the man inside the child   It’s alright, it’s … Continue reading →

Forgotten how to be alive?

Posted on Monday, 30 August, 2010 by Jeremy

I’d really like to get my car finished then spend some time outside in the sunshine, taking photos at waterfalls and enjoying fresh air. I think it would be nice to remember being alive. I haven’t done it for a while.
