The Bogeyman

Click for larger image
Possibly the scariest monster of all.

More Ghouls

We look like we're singing auld lang syne or the national anthem or something.

Spock seems to be really enjoying himself anyways.

Someone had released some jelly fish in the air behind us moments earlier.

"Fifi scares me"

BK "developed" a few of his photos from Gash's wedding.

I don't think it's a coincidence that they've appeared at Halloween.

I'll post more during the day if I've time.

Choochoos

I'm going to do what I've been saying I'd do for ages and make a CD all of songs about trains... because they're great. Here's what I've got so far:
  • Johnny Cash - Orange Blossom Special
  • The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville
  • Arlo Guthrie - City of New Orleans
  • Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Midnight Special
  • Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express (Noel will be impressed)
  • Guy Clark - Texas 1947
  • Box Car Willie - Wabash Cannonball
I thought this would be easy. What am I missing?

If anyone suggests that Runaway Train song - I'm not talking to them again.. evar.

'G' is for Gyp


There was an old man in a Hiace
He challenged me to go for a ray-ace
    I acted the coward,
    said "my car's underpowered"
So he told me he'd brea-ak my fay-ace

"You do own rubber gloves?"


"I rent 'em. I have a lease with an option to buy."

Anyone, anyone?

Gomies


Some scurrilous graffiti in Jordans last week.

I'm using my extraordinary powers of observation and logical reasoning to find out who wrote it.

I've already ruled out Huey, Roger, Dodo and Poo because none of them can read or write.

Doon Doon Deeper and Doon


Stopped at Doon fishing lake last night, just because I wanted to work a Quo lyric into a caption

Oh, Be-dad Aye!


This was my taxi driver home last night. His hobbies include:
  • Swimming in Portumna - I don't know why he told me this
  • Saying "Oh, be-dad aye" a lot, an awful lot
  • Sticking his nose into other peoples business
  • Charging me €18 for a 5 minute spin home
He did let me take his picture though, be-dad aye Posted by Picasa

Shakey's Songbook

This Ole House
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through the broken windowpane

Are we going to Addis Ababa, Mr. Luthor?


I've just received a provisional copy of the cast list from the upcoming production of Superman: The Musical, by the Ardmore Dramatical Society. It is as follows...
  • Clark Kent: Michael O'Reilly (wearing glasses)
  • Jimmy Olsen: Festy Baker
  • Jor-El: Pablo
  • Kal-El: Mor-El
  • Lex Luthor: Bondey
  • Otis: Sean O'Neill

  • Superman: Michael O'Reilly (not wearing glasses)
  • Window Twankey: Onde Baker
The parts for Lois Lane and Lara will be decided on the casting couch in Paddy Macs on Saturday night by Christy's cousin Alan - the casting director.

Lex Luthor : Otis, is that the newspaper I asked you to get me?
Otis : Yeah.
Lex Luthor : Why am I not reading it?
Otis : [thinks for a second] 'Cause I haven't given it to you yet?
Lex Luthor : [smiles] Right...
[snatches the newspaper from Otis' hand]
