Straight face olympics. now with 300% more Pr0n !
Back at the same dump I worked at where we would pass the time by throwing magnets at each others heads*. We would try and think up new uses for the shear volume of pornography that came our way. Your average paper bank holds about 8tons of paper, 1/4 of this is grumble so we had 2 tons of one handed magazines to pass the time with.


At first we just played pr0n top trumps. A simple enough game two people open a gluebook to a random page, the most hardcore picture wins, loser makes the tea.

The discovery of some grainy blue videos upped the anti though. I came back from the weekend to find that there was now a straight face Olympics going on. At the enterence to the site there was a portacabin than counted as the works office. Part of the job was to lean out of the window and explain to people on the way in what rubbish whent where.

A TV/VCR combo had been placed just below the windowledge, loaded up with grot and muted. The challenge, keep a straight face while talking to the public.

sounds easy? well you try talking to a old lady about council recycling policy whilst simultaneously be watching an interracial threesome.

The straight faced Olympics closing ceremony was a moving occasion. The head office sent a manager to remove the TV and a draw was declared.





*only to watch them vear off at the last moment and stick to a metal thing.

I agree about the pour spelling (see what I did there?)
But a spellchecker probably wouldn't have picked up the mis-use of 'anti'. (It probably would have found 'enterence' though.)

yes that is true
and i was going to mention it. but i feared that might be just a little TOO anal ;)

actually, i think the spellcheckers today should be smart enough to pick up on phrases as well as words, and change "up / upped the anti" to its proper form.

same goes for anti-natal clinics. arrrrrgh what the fuck did you learn in school people?

nah.
I have to use a specially designed spell checker for that. Firefox's built in one usually works for me, but Read and Write by texthelp systems is good at phrases.


But sometimes I forget to turn it on.
