I'm so full of opinions on everything...

[Ox]

I decided to let you all know how right I am by posting my ideas (and the occasional story) in a blog. I transfered them from Myspace over to this site:

http://oxtail-soup.blogspot.com/

for all of your enjoyment.

[Demoir]

Awesome, bookmarked.

[Godly]

Toast is pretty freaking awesome, I must agree. Now if only someone would create a toaster that could truly fulfill our toasting needs without leaving us with a blackened crust of a toast.

If only.

Until then I guess I'll have to content myself by reading your articles, which by the way, are pretty good.

[Richard_Simmons]

I really loved the one on ear flaps.

[Peachy]

You're a very angry young man, but the world is better for it. Some good stuff there, i'll have to second what was said before about the ear flaps bit, that made me laugh. Also, just because I'm incredibly OCD and notice these things, you missed out the first "I" in the eating one. (I double, triple checked this post for typing errors or grammatical mistakes and I'm hoping that it's clean)

I am. It is. There is. Good for you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did, I fixed it. I didn't notice any.

Any chance of getting an RSS feed Ox?

I liked your earflaps and smoking blogs especially, although I do have a small issue with the earflaps blog. You imply that EVERYONE in one of those hats is a clone of eachother and has the personality of a blank gravestone. I bought one of those hats for my girlfriend for christmas and she's a wonderfully sparkly shiny person, with th hat or without. Whilst you're right that it doesn't make you a studenty west end type, it doesn't neccesarily make you a boring dickweed either. Lets be fair, there are more ways to tell if someone's a boring twat than their choice in hat, and although it can be a valuable indicator it should be considered disregardable evidence, not proof.

Nope. I don't know what that is or how it works. I am a technotard.

Don't worry, I think he was talking about the people who buy those hats, not the people who wear them.

[Quadros]

Ouch.

[Idioteque]

Oh hey, I think I found the RSS feed, its way down at the bottom, it says "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)".
Any way to move it up? Because that took me 5 minutes or more to find.

An exception to prove the rule, that's all. You and I know that not every single Scot is a knife-wielding drunk, but it's a safe bet that if you meet a chap in a kilt, he'll have a pint or a blade in his hand before the night is through.

[Peachy]

Ouch.

I love you really. I also own one of those hats, I think that it makes me look slightly less like a muppet than I normally would without it.

Hopefully, thanks to reading my blog, you will realise the error of your ways and get a grip, as well as a sensible hat.

[Veeduck]

Earflap hats are very practical in the winter. Particularly in a place where -13 temperatures feel like -25 with the windchill.

Interesting reads, though! You've got a way with words.

[Ox]

I did explain that every hat of a similar ilk without earflaps does still cover your ears, without making you look quite so "wacky".

[Veeduck]

Yes, but earflaps will cover the part of your face that's left bare between a normal hat and a scarf.

[Quadros]

So will a balaclava but I'm not wearing one out in the city.

[Veeduck]

And that's why people wear a chullo.

[Ox]

Not if you wear your hat and scarf properly!

[Kevosk]

I wish I was as good of a person as you, Ox :indiff:

Your style of blogging is pretty tried, but I still got a kick out of it (especially the toast one)

[TwiztedMuffin]

Like a ninja, so only your eyes are showing? :cool:

[Peachy]

Beanies creep me out though. I saw an article ages ago by some mad psycologist person who said that beanie hats subconciously represented supressed sexual feelings because it resembled the top of a penis or something. I know she was mental but it still makes me awkward around people with beanies on.

[Derelict]

I have an ear-flaps hat, actually. However, mine is used out of necessity as I visit my brother in Calgary during the winter. If you've ever been to the prairies in Canada from November to February you'll know it rarely goes above -10 degrees celsius. I wear it frequently while out there, and it serves well to preserve my ears in such harsh cold. I view myself as neither "unique" or "wacky", and I think others would express as much. See, this is really an oddity because every time I see someone wearing one of those hats I feel like smacking it off their head. A little hypocritical, I suppose, but whatever.

I do enjoy your rantings, Ox, and I hope you write many, many more.

[I_Smell]

It got predictable really quick. Everything is stupid and you don't like anything, except eating and smoking hats.

No wait-

Eating, smoking and hats.
Two main things that stood out to me though: The massive number of rhetorical questions- They're like non-stop.
And the slight contradiction on the hat rant: I hate earflaps as much as the next guy, they are for skinny students what wear spiky belts and look like mighty boosh. But it's also pretty damn zany ranting about toasters. I'd say that makes you one crazy guy.

I never do like blogs anyway.

Now that's just fucking stupid :fmita:

+I though the Coronation Street one was about Coronation Street being shit, but it wasn't =(

[Peachy]

Now that's just fucking stupid :fmita:

Sounds to me like you're trying to suppress some emotions there...

The toaster thing isn't zany. It's true. It's one of life's unanswered, pertinent questions. It's along the lines of why do they strealise the needles for lethal injections?

I'll try and cut back on the rhetorical questions, wouldn't you?

[Beatzebs]

It's along the lines of why do they strealise the needles for lethal injections? Because if the prisoner survives the poison injection (happened 3 times in history, I suppose) and after that he would die - not of the poison in the springe - but of some disease communicated of an infected needle, the prisoner could take proceeding against the prison governor^^

[Benjaman]

Can't the dead bodies be diseased? You wouldn't want zombies that are also criminals walking around town. :fmita:

'Twas a good read, definitely waiting for another.

[Peachy]

Actually the question is ridiculous because the needles used in lethal injections are single use; they don't disinfect them, they just don't make them dirty.

[Ox]

Oh dear God, that question is just a joke. Get a grip, people, Christ.

[Quadros]

Want me to argue for the sterilisation of the Death Penalty needle in my blog Ox?

[Ox]

Too late, they're already arguing about it in my goddam thread.

[Quadros]

Oh I get it, needle, thread, very clever.

[Ox]

New blog up on my site (http://oxtail-soup.blogspot.com/).

It's called "Things I don't like and why I don't like them."

[Pyro]

Awesome, most blogs tend to not be entertaining, but this one is, that you for that.

[JW]

I love it. Hilarity at it's best.

I particularly like the Beowulf thingy. Almost as soon as I started reading it, i was laughing. On the verge of pissing, you could say.

Definately waiting for the next installment.

[Ox]

The next installment, Mr. Wilson, is ready. It's about me! Go see - http://oxtail-soup.blogspot.com/

[JW]

Interesting. I don't work at all, 'cause I'm sorta lazy, but yeah. That night job sounded sweet. Why'd you get the new job?

[CharlieH]

I agree with your sleeping blog. I think you're mother is wrong. Who cares when you sleep.

Dad worked nights for 9 years, and it never did him any harm. However, my problem is that i don't have the time to sleep sometimes. Especially when i'm trying to elbow in a decent social life with it.

Friday: 6pm - 12(ish)
Saturday: Day off
Sunday: 7am - 4pm

Now, that may sound good to you, but it's very bad for the following reasons.

On saturday I sleep late because i'm tired after work the previous night. Then I have saturday night off, but i'm not tired until about 12 at night, because i've only had what, a 13-14 hour day. So I don't sleep until about 1 in the morning. Then I have to be up at six for work on sunday.

I seriously feel your pain.

[Ox]

Okay, a little help for the next one guys:

Ask me questions. Not personal ones, not something you want my opinion on or the ones you ask Quadros.

General knowledge, pub quiz, facts, interesting questions or just something you've always wanted to know the answer to.

Thanks.

On average, how much alcohol does it take to get a Scot drunk, and how's this compared to the rest of the word? Irish?

Honestly I can't think of much right now.

[CharlieH]

Before Titanic was made in 1997, what was the most expensive film budget ever?

[WillJ.]

How does your blog enhance our lives?

Where do babies come from?

[Ox]

Where do babies come from?

Want me to show you? :heya:

[GCBC]

I think we all know the answer to that one.
