Once again...

wKenShow is gone.

*sniff*

How are you today?

Hope you are find.

What the hell is This???

Who has this much time on there hands...

Remember caddie-shack?

That Golf movie?... with the Groundhog?

Bionic Groundhog

Well, he wasn't really bionic, just really really angry.

I hope he didn't get shot though...

Man, it's good footage...

But I would have ran so fast...

Sooo fast...

I've done this before...

And I'll do it again, Here.

And if you go do it yourself, you will see why I don't like Johnny. Or dubya. Or sharon. And not just because of the Leadership impotence they all seem to ooze...

I give mad propz out to Scott for reminding me of this one...

And from the revival...

The funniest pic I've seen all day... (Thanks mate.



Now, this recks of a Caption Competition...

Shall I start you off?

- Vote Liberal: Always heading in the right direction.
- Keep your chin up Johnny.
- The obvious, Johnny: Getting ahead in the polls.

ok... I'm sure that there will be a shiny prize for the winner. You know you can't resist shiny...

UPDATE: ok... because we have a fair bit of an American contingincy that reads this fair page of mine, allow me to explain. The man giving is our Prime Minister, John Howard, the man recieving, Peter Costello, the Treasurer and next in line.

Thank you super nintendo Chalmers!

Simpson Quote, like beer, the cause and solution to all of lifes problems.

So, Israel spies on New Zealand...

I blog about it, about three other people blog about it. The world moves on.

They spy on the states, Everybody blogs about it.

I'm just gunna point you to someone else who did it better than I ever could *poke*.

These guys have been doing a whole heap of spying recently... I wonder why.

either that, or maybe they are just getting sloppy at it...

Cause I'm getting lots of the linky lovin'...

From over Here, I'll do my part in givin' a little back...

Now lets just hope the three people who read this damn thing all click on that link... seven times each. Then maybe I'll seem popular.

oh, and if you tell em that xade sent ya, you'll get an extra special prize... oooohh, extra special.

The Defamer makes me giggle...

Where else would you get quality material like This

You saw the photos.

I saw the photos.

"Didn't happen" - Rummy

My god. What gall.

You say the photos.

I say the photos.

"Didn't happen" - Rummy

My god. What gall.

A quick little incite.

People ask me stuff sometimes you know?

Stuff like "What's up?" and "How ya doin'?"

Just so you all know, I'm fine.

My fore-arms are huge.

Well not huge, but not not existant.

Now, wasn't that fun.

Oh, the irony...

Or something like that...

Check out the motto...

From todays duh files...

Ritual slicing doesn't make one bullet proof.

And in most cases may result in mild cases of death.

(well actually yesterdays duh files... I'm just putting up yesterdays crap so far... might not get around to todays crap due to work and pub duties...)

That says terrabyte... right?

excellent...

They're making Holo-discs these days.

Woo. Go future.

I can't help but be skeptical...

Che supports gay marriage

Well, support might be too strong a word, he opposed a federal ban on it. I have to wonder though, where was he when this was an issue? Since it got voted against, he's on the 'winning side'. Where was he? was her supporting his daughter? I don't remember reading anything about it.

I mean, the cause is just. I just doubt the mans motives... Then there's the fact that I don't believe a word that comes out of the snakes mouth... but then, I spose that's a different issue...

I always like reading about...

George Soros.

Seriously, when I'm rich and powerful, I'm so gunna dabble in manipulating world affairs...

But in the good way. Like George.

Wait just one second here...

I know what This is...

I've seen the lord of the rings...

waaahhh. My comments are broken!!

Now how will I validate my existance?

And what's the point in asking, you couldn't answer me anyways!

waahhh. Woe is me.

Woo.

I got up to master mode...

Man, look at the detail on those polygons...

I need a new computer.

There is no way mine could handle These graphics...

waaahhh.

like. Duh.

Sometime scientists are stupid.

By the end, 45 women had contracted chlamydia or gonorrhea. Women using Depo Provera were about three and a half times more likely to develop one of the infections than women using non-hormonal contraceptives. The researchers say they can't yet explain their finding.

um... mabye it's cause they weren't using condoms?

idiots.

With all the fuss about Thorpie...

People have been forgetting about the real reason for the olympics...

Russian Roulette

I got nine...

This is way too tricky...

It could do with some more flashing lights as well...

Man... That foghorn is a nasty fellow...

Maybe I need to send The Fairies down Here...

She knows too much...

Go give her a hand

This was nicely put.

Smash them together...

Smash them together at high speeds.

You will be happy that this article has nothing to do with groins... unlike the ones before.

This is all about Atoms and anti atoms and smashing them into each other in order to reach a higher understanding... kinda like a three year old and matchbox cars...

Anyways, to think that we only know what 4 percent of the universe is made of is mind-blowing. I mean, it really add weight to the addage that the universe contains things you couldn't imagine.

Seriously. Who would have though that you can tweak the state of a proton and instantanously, the other proton that it is meshed with changes state to match. Regardless of physical proximity or barriers.

Just think, how much is possible with only this 4%. Who knows what we will find when we lift a curtain on what we aren't supposed to see? (I spose that depends on who you ask.)

There has been a spate of it recently...

But at least This guy didn't stab himself in the groin.

And todays...

OH MY GOD, NOT THE GROIN story

comes all the way from New Orleans.

AAAHHHHH!

They stole it

AAAHHHH

It's good when the courts do...

The Right Thing.

Seriously, to the MPAA and the RCAA and all you other acroyms that refuse to let go of the good times...

Times have changed. Evolve or die. Sure, it was great, Singles sold so much more that albums and were more profitable. So you moved into that. You manufactured that. Now people want that next thing, using that very intinct that you relied on to make so much money and you don't want a part of it. It doesn't fit into you current business model.

So tie it up in the courts. Delay the enevitable. But know, while you do this, you are giving the company that will put you under just enough time to do it.

Evolve or die. Evolve fast. And I hate to say this, but I wouldn't miss you.

There is interesting happening...

I'll let you know when I find out more...

Oh. And doesn't Neurocam look to be getting interesting at the moment.

ok... I don't know what to do here...

So I'm just gonna put it all out there, just to see what happens...

First, the email from Nikolay

It was a test.

I predicted you would make contact with either Steven or Graham in order to decipher the contents of the disc. There was certain information I wanted you to glean from your meeting with Steven. This was also a test of his loyalty to Neurocam. You let me know the score with one 'freudian slip' in your translation of the disc.

On a different note, I would like to inform you that I have been grossly misrepresented by that vile worm known as Iocus Severus. He wields no real power and lives in a delusional fantasy world where he
would like to think he knows what is behind all this. Don't trust him. Don't even listen to him. As you have probably gathered by now he was the one pretending to be Henley and Godman and it was he who gave you the gallery assignment. Perhaps it is time for you to call his bluff. Get him out into the open where the sunlight will reveal the cracks....

By the way, RH really has gone to Nigeria. It was his intention to make a documentary on the Fraudsters in question and ultimately shut them down. Neurocam really does have a score to settle with them. We have not heard from him a several days, which is worrying. I have some information regarding the lead up to this sequence of events which I would like to pass on to Graham.

I beg of you to trust me and not Iocus. Neurocam and Yellow One are reputable organisations who mean no harm to anyone. Iocus is a plague whose persistence may jeopardize a project that a lot of work has gone into.

By the way it was nice to meet you. I'm sorry that I was so guarded, that is one of the main drawbacks of this profession.

Regards

Nikolay

So I thought, how to draw Severus into the sun. I asked him why he sent me on the gallery assignment.

Here is the response.

Dear James,

Thank you for your email.  For the last two months, Neurocam has been preparing for a significant acceleration in its Victorian operations.  You are one of four operatives who were selected from the pool of Neurocam operatives by Fiat NOX to test new infrastucture and assignment protocol.  You were assigned an experiment involving the art market.  The others were assigned experiments involving the stock market, the weather bureau, and media relations.  Your performance was exemplary.  Well done.  That, for the moment, is as much as you need to know.

You're too intelligent to fall for the nonsense "Mr. Kamchatka" is currently serving you.  I'm sure you're well aware that the gentleman you met on Brunswick Street and the email correspondent are two entirely different people.  You may furthermore, be interested to learn that neither of these is the real Nikolay Kamchatka.

Your correspondent is absolutely right in suggesting you don't trust me.  I would have suggested you don't trust anybody, it that was not already the case.

Sincerely,
Iocus Severus

Now, I wonder...

Firstly, by refering to the missions being sent to me via Neurocam, he hasn't given anything away in regards to him 'posing' as all three.

But then there are the subtler differences. For starters, Robert, Dean and Iocus have all at one stage or another used the Fiat Nox email address. Which again, could just be a sign that they are all in league, or the same person.

Next there is something else that has been irking me. Any correspondence I've had with Robert, Dean and Iocus have all started with 'Dear James'. I don't refer to myself as James online, yet it is in the header to my emails. I dunno, I'm just musing, they all seem a little too... similar.

Now, onto Nikolay being two different people. That is also a posibility I would need to concider. There were indiscrepencies between my on-line correspondence/comments from Nikolay and when I met him in person, he seemed a lot less hostile.

Then there is the issue of the 'Special Cock', in a possibly forged email from Severus. That has me thinking. It sounds like something 'online' Nikolay might say, at a stretch, but I couldn't imagine the offline one being so crude.

So. Who do we believe. Iocus and his Nikolay is an imposter story, or Nikolay and his Iocs is an imposter story.

I don't know, I don't think the truth will be that black and white, but to be completely honest with you all, so far, I think I might be leaning towards the guy with the least suspect dead ex wives... (Not that there is an official total count on that figure or anything...)

..............

Oh yeah, and four operative? I've only counted three... And try and I might, I can't relate any of the experiences from Tript or Graham to forays in the stock market, the weather bureau, or in media relations. Maybe it wasn't blogged or I was mistaken... Though I do remember, Graham did once mention a player that may or may not be a player... Maybe I have to check that out again.

Whoring it up...

Ok, it is time for a little bit of shamless promotion...

Warlocks

It is definitly a thinking-persons game.

There's strategy, there's spells, there's victory. It's great.

Go play.

It's life for a reason isn't it?

This is farked.

Surely the bragging should be enough to revoke his parole? who plans to "lure women with his wealth" without also having a malevolent leaning in it.

The olympics bring out the best in everybody...

and we all know how much I love Pingu.

I give you, The Yeti Olympics

I'll put high scores up when I'm happy with them... this could take a while ;)

How many lows will they sink to?

The newly obtained records of Larry Thurlow show that he, like Kerry, won a Bronze Star for the same engagement and that Thurlow's citation said he came under "constant small arms fire," the newspaper reported Thursday.

Thurlow, also like Kerry, commanded a Navy Swift boat during the war. Thurlow swore in an affidavit last month that Kerry was "not under fire" when he rescued Lt. James Rassmann from the Bay Hap River.

How much do you reckon they paid him to say it

Fucking repugnant scumbags.

I love reading the war nerd...

I love pawing through the archives...

Take This article, concider that with my earlier post

I was all geared up this morning to front up...

and start venting some impatients on Neurocam...

Apparently that wasn't neccessary.

I got an email from our good friend Nikolay. I'm sure you all remember him.

While I'm going to keep a lot of it close to the table, I'll sum it up in three words.

Don't. Trust. Iocus.

It looks like a line is being drawn in the sand here. Which side will you be on when the castle falls. If the castle falls?

......

Oh, and on a less dramatic note, seems that Henley IS in Nigeria. Shuting down the fraudsters. I just can't get the image of the white suit, swooping in, superhero like, putting an end to those endless bloody spams out of my head. Go Robert.

I spose if a precidence is set...

It's set for everybody...

as Graham said, scary.

Never the monkey

Always the baboon...

REPORTER: What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century, and how do we resolve conflicts between tribes and the federal and state governments?
DUBYA: Yeah -- tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. It's -- you're a -- you're a -- you've been given sovereignty, and you're -- viewed as a sovereign entity. [Laughter emanates from the audience]
REPORTER: Okay.
DUBYA: And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between -- sovereign entities.
-- Well that clears up the relationship perfectly, Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004

Go get the audio clip

oh man...

I can almost taste the burgers...

I'm sure that with enough effort, you could alter the quantum state of a bunch of atoms in a receptical in just the right way to make me a burger.

mmmm. Sacrilicious

Please...

keep me away from This.

I've often wondered this exact question...

WWJVF

See, I would have thought that tolerance and helping the less fortunate came in a little higher that sodomy.

(I'm leaving Abortion and The war on terror out of it because in certain eyes, they are both murder.)

ok New Yorkers.

Go out and make a difference

I'm sure I've seen a movie...

About this.

If I was these explorers, I would be on the look out for evil monkeys.

And diamonds.

And secret devices forged by the gods themselves...

Remember Robot wars?

With that guy from Red Dwarf hosting?

I loved that show...

Go treat yourself to The next best thing

Every lost some luggage?

It good to see people in positions of power don't abuse it...

Maybe he was just a liar...

ouch.

But the wierdest bit is that bit at the bottom, that bit where AFTER HIS GENITAL WERE SET ON FIRE, HE WENT BACK TO SLEEP AND WENT TO HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING!!!

ouch.

You don't need to be German...

To understand 32 ways to open a bottle of beer

So she opened the door...

- and?
did I mention she was dead
- no.
And she hit him with a golf club!!...
- so?
You know, he used to play golf, and it really ticked her off...
- You said that was bowling...

So. what did that hilarious snippet from the Simpsons have to do with Neurocam? It's how the minidisc has seemed to effect me.

So, Robert made a phone call
- and?
Did I mention he was suposed to be dead?
- no.
And he got involved in a Nigerian Fraud Scheme.
- So?

And that's where we are left. Robert seems to have gotten involved in a Nigerian Scheme with a Dr Samuel Amedu, or at least that is how the conversation started. Robert was then passed on to Samuels colleague, the esteemed 'Mr [I couldn't understand his name... Damn Nigerian Accent and shonky recording...]'. Now, apparently, Robert wanted to fly to Lagos to meet with these two shady customers prior to commencing the 'transaction'.

The next part of the minidisc was what sounded like a voicemail message left for Robin Hely. It was left for him from someone from the 'Federal Ministry of Finance'. The message didn't really say a lot sadly...

Now, how this fits in with Henley being Tortured/killed as Dean/Nikolay would have us believe, or hanging out in Brussels as Iocus claims, is a whole different question.

Though, maybe it's not.

The top ten most dangerous jobs...

According to US statistics...

1. timber cutters
2. fishers
3. pilots and navigators
4. structural metal workers
5. driver-sales workers
6. roofers
7. electrical power installers
8. farm occupations
9. construction laborers
10. truck drivers

Woo. I used to work in the 5th most dangerous job in the states... YaY me.

ok... First things first.

I bought a house. w00t.

Oh man, I'm officially up to my eyeballs in debt, oh dear god what was I thinking...

I mean, house. Woo.

Now. Lets move onto the important stuff. Like Neurocam.

It all started with the Mini-disc from the sus Russian Nikolay, you know, the one with the 'special cock'. tee hee... It's "special". So anyway, I got a mini-disc from this guy with the following label.

NIGERIA: DR SAMEUL AMEDU
234-1-776-9407
MDB: 234-803-046360

(Where the MDB could possibly have read MOB...)

Now, not having a mini-disc player, I concidered cracking the thing open to look for hidden messages, a-la Grahams slide, but I got an offer to use Tripts prior to me doing anything I might have regretted...

So anyway, the meeting was set. It was night, cold and the coffee was Starbucks. Damn you starbucks. Anyway, I met up with Tript, and I must say, it is good to put a face to the blog, and while I'm sure he hears this a lot, and to any ladies out there, Tript looks suprisingly like David Beckham. I dunno... maybe it's the eyebrows...

But anyways, we're sitting there, we have coffee. we have cigarettes, we have a mini-disc and a minidisc player, time to move to the business end of things...

ba ba baaaaam... to be continued... ;)

The minidisc.

Ok. This is gonna be damn quick, I'm busy talking to a guy about a house... ;)

It seems that Robert got himself involved in Nigerian eMail scheme with a guy called DR SAMUEL AMEDU.

I don't know who falls for Nigerian eMail schemes these days, but hey, I guess I can't really comment on the mental capacity of somebody I haven't yet had the pleasure to meet.

Ah well, I'll let you all know in more detail tomorrow.

oh. and wish me luck on this house.

ok. Cause it's all been the cam recently...

Here's some fun.

- Coffin toss: Score to beat: 574.48. Instructions: Cause it's in German, or something I've give you the lowdown. press left and right as fast as your little hand can, then whack the spacebar to launch... Don't hit the wall.

- If that isn't enough keyboard breaking action, try The mini olypics: Sadly, I'm no good at this game :( so no scores will be posted :P

- And finally Some kind of pool game: This one is fun.

Enjoy

One night in Moscow.

Last night, I met the mysterious Nikolay. The arrangement was to meet on the corners of brunswick and Johnston streets, in a tiny pub with no name.

We idenitifed ourselves with a pre-determined gesture, the raising of a glass, and then we were talking.

Now, coming into this, I had a lot of preconceptions about this guy, mainly based on this comment over at Tripts house

You better watch yourself boy. If you really want to be invited to one of our barbeques it can be arranged.

lead me to lovingly refer to the guy as the crazy Ruskie. (Though never out loud where anybody would hear me...). But I am pleased to say that Nikolay was the nicest guy I've ever met. If I wasn't so taken... and hetero... and he wasn't working for some sus organisation... I so would have... If you know what I mean... ;)

But moving along. Conversation flowed, Neurocam came up, Yellow 1 came up. I noticed a couple of indescrepencies in what he said, namely that he hadn't heard of Tript? that one struck me as very odd considering the above comment... but moving along.

Apparently, he works for a division of Yellow 1. In true cloak and dagger style, the left hand of Yellow 1 doesn't know what the right hand is doing, so the was a lot of 'I don't know's or 'I can't tell you's. To be honest though, I don't know how much of it can be trusted though.

I think I did get out of it was a minidisk. The minidisk had a label with the name Dr [something I can't remember cause I'm at work and it's at home] Amed, and had a series of numbers along with the letters MDB. Nikolay seemed to insinuate that the disk contained information on the untimely disappearance of our friend Robert Henley. Sadly, I don't have a minidisk player, so until I find one, it's contents will remain a secret. (I'm chasing a couple of people, but any help on this would be great).

There was one other thing on the minidisk, under the label the was some writing that had been crossed out with a black marker. The first letter looked to be a P or an F and the last looked to be a 6. I tried to remove the top layer of marker and it started to come off. Thinking that Nikolay wouldn't have needed to cross it out if it could just be rubbed out, I put my back into it. Now it is gone :(.

Anyways. Back to Nikolay. We chatted. Had a drink or two. And then he was gone. My overall opinion of the guy was that he seemed alright. Still, he did let forth some conflicting stories, and I've been hearing some additional nasty pastyness on the grapevine which may or may no be made public soon... So I don't know. I don't think I will trust him (Not that I actually trust anybody associated with Neurocam). But having said that, if I met him in a dark alley, I don't think I would run. (Well, not straight away anyways...)

You know how sometimes you can tell somebody from there name...

I give you the story of Mr Ding-a-ling

Goddamned Peons.

Oh, watch out. It must be the devil

There couldn't be any other reason. Must be the devil.

Poor little thing. They just drowned it. Fuckers.

So why does the crack-pot...

Come from Australia?

Though it *would* make a great sci-fi novel...

I , Puppet.

I love it

As always...

gee dub is going everything he can to fight terrorism

The effort by U.S. officials to justify raising the terror alert level last week may have shut down an important source of information that has already led to a series of al Qaeda arrests, Pakistani intelligence sources have said.

Until U.S. officials leaked the arrest of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan to reporters, Pakistan had been using him in a sting operation to track down al Qaeda operatives around the world, the sources said.

Good work Mr. President. Your little political stunt just lost you an inside man.

I wonder if people will still think that you will be better than Kerry at this?

How much would you freak...

If you were the 'Friend that wasn't injured'

Look, they taught a monkey how to do sign language. Now all they need is one of those gloves from that movie... you know the one, spaceballs. No wait, Congo.

'Bad Gorilla. Bad bad gorilla. Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.'

And they say it's not political.

Ya have to wonder though, when you see statistical data like this.



man, did that image get killed in the compression. Anyways, basicallly, for those playing at home, the first spike, of course, is 9-11. The second. The Iraq war, the third is the capturing of Saddam.

Every one of those triangles down the bottom there is a terror warning. And every terror warning is accomanied by a jump in the Presidents ratings.

Now, if you saw this data, and *You* had no moral integrity, what would you do? Now imaging you are a greedy fool with no moral integrity. Get the picture?

(oh, and if you would like a copy of this image without the nasty compression that makes it virtually un-readable, send me an eMail, I'll sent it to you.

A meeting with Nikolay.

That should prove interesting.

If I happen to stop blogging suddenly one day. You'll know why.

A sure fire way to beat the system.

This is a good story, a story about a guy that played lotto and beat the system. He had a shore thing.

This is the kind of scheme I want to get involved in.
