WA-

imaginary friend: you gotta shoot 'em in the head!

Thanks Laura, for making me look like my brain had been replaced by spanners. She is lovely really and does talk, but only during periods where a spacial anomaly obscures her from all your perceptions. Also, the 'Let's Get Physical' boys have informed me that if 'Get Back To 8-bit' were in fact 'Let's Get BackTo 8-bit' as they suggested it should be, then the acronym would be LGBT8-bit and thereby create an entirely new meaning for the show and probably increase my audience figures too. Thanks for that.

Anyway, here are the news links for Get Back To 8-bit for 21st Jan 2010:

No Christian exercise is more appropriate than killing a man from several hundred feet away through a high powered, Jesus-sanctioned rifle. Onward Christian soldiers!

Great, now we men not only need to promise to buy our women-folk the moon, but also these other bullshit planets? (For the record, I have never promised to buy a girlfriend 'the moon', because that is lame. I have however bought a girl a box of cornflakes for Valentine's day.)

a triple entente of die.

On Thursday's Get Back To 8-bit, prepare to feel the wrath of the Almighty through his choice of firearm, gaze in awe at one madman's underwater space cannon, get a short answer to a dumb question, find out what I'd do with the contents of NASA's 'for sale' box, learn what's worth farming for on Neptune and Uranus and more! All, all, all of this as well as a sonic carpet bombing of war related songs for you to fingle your fangle at! Join in on what I have to say Thursday the 21st @ 14:00 on subcity.org, or download later.

show me your war face!

On GBT8-bit this week, prepare for the episode by bathing in the blood of your enemies and drinking tar from their skulls, since you will need to contend with an hour of songs about wartime mixed with a heady dose of You Gotta Shoot 'Em In The Head newsaplexus. Gerald! What is best in life?
