We paid our fare with a hobo song
I've become a bit obsessed with the world's best mutant sheep, the Godmonster of Indian Flats. The following video is a result.
ALSO: A kindly person with poor taste has set up a Facebook group in my honour, titled "A bunch of people who like Dr. Ashen". My girlfriend claims that no more than 50 people will ever join it. She needs to be proven wrong - I'm sure you understand how important that is.

Buy low, sell high
Sudden idea! People keep asking me where they can get various bits of knock-off tat. My response is nearly always "Keep an eye on Ebay", because you can't reliably find them at normal retail outlets. Well, I've now put together an Ebay links thing which shows you auctions for various items of interest.
Please note that I am not selling these items personally - I am just providing links. In theory I should receive a tiny commission if any of them sell, which I can put towards site hosting / buying more review tat. (I think if 15,000 people buy items I get 4p, or something.)
US viewers get to play with this pretty widget thing, which showcases specific excellent things I've found:
Whereas UK based viewers have to suffer the insultingly low-tech alternative of clicking on these search links:
KenSingTon Viis ("Chintendo")
POP Stations
Barcode Battlers
Bit of a blow for the UK there, especially as we seem to have a better selection of knock-off tat locally. Hopefully Ebay will enable its widget thing for non-US auctions soon, because Blogger doesn't like their Javascript alternative.
Anyway, I'll see how this goes for a bit and if anyone actually uses it. Cheerio!

Like a dog in heat
Well blimey. Noseybonk features in the latest issue of UK celebrity news magazine Heat. He inexplicably appears sideways on the letters page together with the slogan "Bring Back Noseybonk!" There is no mention of him elsewhere.
That's the photo I had taken for the "Cookery" wallpaper, reversed and with the carving knife removed - presumably so as not to completely terrify readers. (Surely the photo would have worked better if they'd removed the whole arm? Maybe they still wanted a small threat of physical violence.)
Many thanks to everyone who pointed out Nosey's appearance in print.

It conquered the world!
In association with Trailer Club 70...
Bonus feature! Look in the bottom right-hand corner of the frame at 3:12 - you can see the puppeteer's arm.
