Smart new walking boots.
“Wear them in”, says man in shop.
Now they creak. So, thanks.

Strange how the death of its inventor should spark a minor war over how “Moog” is pronounced. I say “war”, but I mean “occasional domestic spat”.
“Moog”, as in “Vogue”? “Moog” as in “Google”? (without the “le”, obviously… I would’ve said “mood”, but Northerners can be strange. If you’re not strange, imagine I did say “mood”.)
On last night’s 6 o’clock news, a BBC reporter managed to use both pronunciations during the same sentence. Further news stories suggest that Mr. Moog did actually pronounce it as in “vogue”. The thing is, he might well have been labouring under the idiotic misapprehension that his name rhymed with “vogue”, but now he’s dead. So we can put his dopey nonsense to rest and continue rhyming it with “boog”, as in “boogie”.

What are these weblogs? Seems to be the 21st century equivalent of a parish noticeboard, on which the dogmatic vicar posts his latest demands to the fearful locals. Except, in the land of the ‘eblog, those demands take the form of links to animated gifs, other people’s electronic noticeboards and (save us) “hilarious” mp3s/photos.
So here’s an “hilarious” mp3 - Eminem/Vanilla Ice
And here’s an animated gif - Oh, it’s a jpeg
And here’s another person’s ‘eblog - Botherer
I feel filthy.
