Game: SpamWars

[Spamwars]This game reminds me so much of real life. In SpamWars you control a gun and have got to stop the spam from reaching the keyboard by shooting at it. You’ve also got to try and aim at Sid the Spammer to try and kill him and stop him sending the stuff – as the levels progress he starts sending you viruii/viruses as well: not fun.

On seconds thoughts, it is a fun game – I scored 3,860 on my first go and 10,430 on my second. Once you get a machine gun or flame-thrower (yep, you can get “gun upgrades”) you can easily kill Sid straight away before he sends you any spam and get bonus points.

When I originally wrote this entry, I was slightly drunk, tired and just wanted to have a ramble – so read it if you want 🙂

Anyways, I’ve just been downstairs eating dinner: 800g (1.76lbs in “proper weights”) of Turkey breast joint, veggies (canned carrots, sweetcorn and peas), mashed potato (Smash instant mash to be exact) and gravy. Quite filling – even after I spilt a little over the sofa (trying to get the meat off the bone) oops!

It was the first “proper” meal I’ve had for nearly a week: I’ve been mainly “snacking” – I think the pizza I had on Sunday night was the largest meal since Crimbo day. But I suppose once all the chocolates have run out (already munched through a 400g/0.88lb box of Mars Maltesers, nearly finished a tub of 461g/1.02lb Cadbury’s Heroes and some Elizabeth Shaw chocolate mints).

Snippet: Why so few posts yesterday

*snippet* Before you start wondering, no after Sunday’s “blogging marathon” I didn’t run out of posts for Monday – just the opposite. I’ve still got somethings to post about: but one of the issues is/was political and I’m not sure whether or not I want that sort of stuff in my blog or not AND it had the potential to offend just about everyone – and since I’m such a nice well-brought up lad (yeah, right 🙂 ), I decided to really think about it before putting fingers to keyboard. And I’m still thinking about it – hence the lack of posts.

Joke: How The Internet Was Really Invented

[How The Internet Was Really Invented]In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com.

She said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why doth thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?”

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, “How, Dear?”
