Salmon streaming
Tue Mar 10, 2026 2:10 pm
In a quite shocking event, an historical, hysterical first since last week, a youtube streamer, sidewalk dreamer, down-uploading a thousand mega-users in follower state, tweeted a twitch stream down the mainstream, salmon all a-leaping-ho.
My god, they cried, this can't be right. "I blame the Youth of today!", cried the salmon, spawning in their traditional waters since well before, lets say, 1949, now all legs akimbo (legs aside, what with them being fish and legless as always), but metaphorically we have salmon now, as confused as anyone about the streams, and twitching, like thats normal even for a fish. Thanks.
Jackson Jones finds his funk
Fri Mar 06, 2026 2:34 pm
Jackson Jones, legendary blues and jazz r&b drummer-clarinaut and author of No.1 selling album "Where's my funk?", today had his funk located.
It took Jones' wife, Joanna, just 15 seconds to find it despite Jackson having looked for absolutely ages, with the fruitless search even leading to the writing, recording, post-production and release of an album detailing the effort.
Joanna Jones declared her husband to be "Useless" and a divorce settlement is now pending, with Jackson likely to retain custody of his funk despite claming to "not really want it anyway".
Book Review: The Turn of the Shoe
Wed Mar 04, 2026 1:39 pm
In Walter Cunninghamson's second novel he explores the dichotomy between Imaginary science and mysticism in different shoes.
Interwoven throughout the dense prose (covering almost all of the pages except some bits at the front and one or two bits at the back) is an undercurrent of regret suggesting that the lead character (played by Kevin Spacey) could really have done with some comfortable slippers, rather than the rigid formal shoes he wears throughout the performance.
In the second act of the novel, which is somewhat badly timed as it commences just before the ad-break, the reader may find themselves somewhat distracted by a phone call from a friend or neighbour, possibly suggesting a trip out to the pub or other such establishment. But its worth sticking with it - perhaps suggest going out for a bigger session at the weekend? - because the finale is a rip-roaring rollercoaster ride through prairie fields full of joy and winklepickers.

Imaginary news site pulls really offensive headline
Tue Mar 03, 2026 11:56 am
Imaginary news reporter, Brian Shuttleson, admitted today that he had recently been forced to spike one of his own stories after realising the headline was "really grossly offensive on a number of levels".
"At first I thought I could get away with it", said Shuttleson, sitting at the infamous corner table of The Baker's Legs, "but I read it back again and realised there was no way it was gonna happen. I almost puked".
Temporary Editor of the Imaginary News, Joanna Notherstick, was disappointed but philosophical : "Obviously its a shame for the young lad. We were hoping for big things from this story but in the end we all agreed that he'd made the right decision. And its not the fear of litigation, it was just too damn gross.".
Festival goers shocked by thing
Sat Feb 28, 2026 12:22 pm
Travellers, youth and all-aged party animals attending this year's 'Festipark', the annual sub-cultural celebration of all things 'off-the-beaten-track', were apparently shocked by the thing that they least expected, unsurprised by the things they were warned about and simultaneously aroused and slightly dismayed by the repeated touching of parts by festival organisers.
Held each year in the North Wood, 'Festipark' attracts all sorts - from daft young hippychicks with no sense of decency, to little old men covered in plaster of paris - and this year's crowd certainly proved to be a few liqourices short of a packet.
Guided into the Wood by grateful volunteers, casually dismissing the threatening heads on stakes that lined the pathway, partygoers soon experienced the unique sensation of being ground in a giant mincing machine and made into burgers.
Gig review: Blue Prince at the Complexity Pit
Wed Feb 25, 2026 2:43 pm
Tiny rappity-hop superstar, Blue Prince, returned from an enforced period in the wilderness to perform tonight at Burninghum's infamous Complexity Pit.
Some five months after the scheduled start time, the diminutive rapper-cum-tattoo artist leapt onto the stage on fire, but had to repeat his trademark entrance: the first time because nobody noticed, and the second because he set off the sprinklers.
The Complexity Pit is one of the largest venues in Euronia and is renowned for its labyrinthine tunnel system, which ensures that no more than 6% of ticket buyers ever see the show they paid for.
Most bodies are never recovered, but on the BP's third attempt to start the show, the remaining audience didn't seem to mind, and were treated to a melange of hyper-bass over sub-bass memes while the Blue Prince himself described ever decreasing circles, plaintively weeping:
"It was emotional / photoshopped and notional / Everybody talkin' bout the lil' Blue Prince! / Everybody love the lil' lil' Blue Prince!"
In the traditional second-half chair-standing, for the benefit of audience members who couldn't afford the TNY9,000 front row tickets, BP rattled through songs from his latest album, "Rattles ain't just for babies", including the seminal "It's me":
"I gotta be honest wid' you / It ain't just me per se / Oh wait no it is / It is it is it is"
He then fell off his chair, to the rapturous applause of the three people left.

Oven all the finds
Mon Feb 23, 2026 12:11 pm
Now, cases lined up all the sleeping joints, bedding down with the likely lads, that fountain of youth untapped again. Its pokey-pokey and limited to the auburn, the warm, uh oh thats the fire alarms! but its nearly the holidays so you are all forgiven, phew!
Those sip-sleeves awash in stale wine which must have seen better days, yet again chanting and reminiscing like we did in the early years.
I'm terrific, thanks, mother, why are you even asking.
