The Friday Stunt: Foto Friday

The internet, they tell me, is made out of people. Like Soylent Green.

From now until midnight comes ’round again, this is the Friday Stunt: take a picture of yourself now and send it to me at warrenellis@gmail.com. It shall appear here, with all the others.

Second down on the left is comics writer Tristan Crane.

The young lady in the corset whom I’m carefully covering parts of up (mostly because I fear she’ll log on in the localtime morning and say “Oh, God, I sent him that?”) is my friend the photographer and cortortionist JR Blackwell. In black and white at the bottom is Heidi MacDonald, and I think Lea Hernandez sent the one on her left. Middle right, she who writes for Oddculture as Glossolalia Black.

Time for pub.

Morning. My entire body aches, and there are a zillion people in my inbox:

(And that’s Meredith Yayanos doing the ghostie thing there.)

That’s got to be fifty people already. Another dozen in the box. Me for bed. See you in the morning for more.

And, yes, the collaging is getting sloppy already. 2.26am, and I’m doing this in between breaking a script.

The guy with the light sabre is called Matt Wagner, and I believe he needs to be punished somehow. Note also the hideous League Of Gentlemen tribute image.

And for those who remember the previous versions at diepunyhumans — I’m doing it a little differently this time:

Haven’t done one of these since I moved the dirty blogging action over here from diepunyhumans. First one I did was back on WEF, waaaay back when, and it was called World Wide Wednesday. It’s when I get sick of you looking at me and decide to look at you. It became part of the occasional Friday Stunts on diepunyhumans, which included guest writers, camphone video days, and other stuff that kept us all sane on slow days.

The internet’s made out of people. Let’s see who’s on it.

It is now Friday morning in the UK. For the next 24 hours, The Friday Stunt is: take a picture of yourself and send it to me. It shall appear here, with all the others. It will be Chaos. It will Vaporise my hosting. We will Laugh and call it Fun.

Send to the special Friday Stunt email address, which is warrenellis@gmail.com.


Bomb Factory

Bomb Factory: link goes to their MySpace page, with its handy streaming player for instant injection of their ranty ugly goodness. I recommend “God Loves Us And He Hates You” for the total fucking Fugue Hate that Ranting Jack gets himself into by the end.


Tshwane

May 27th, 2005 | researchmaterial

A recommendation that the name of South Africa’s capital be changed from Pretoria to Tshwane has been unanimously approved.

The Geographic Names Council took four hours to back the change. Tshwane is the name of a pre-colonial local chief and means “we are the same”.

(Also, a recent history of city name changes. And also, creepy white people are not impressed:)


Some Canadians May Only Get Suicidal In Office Hours

May 27th, 2005 | researchmaterial

A Canadian province will shut its 24-hour suicide hotline and replace it with one that operates only during business hours.

Prince Edward Island, a small province on Canada’s East Coast, says it is too expensive to operate the hotline around the clock. Starting June 1, it will be open only between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday…

I think it’s time I brought back the old Friday “audience participation” stunt from diepunyhumans, don’t you?

Check in after midnight UK time.

Kalash Spring Festival

BBC NEWS | In pictures: Kalash spring festival

Tucked away in the mountains of northern Pakistan, the tiny Kalash minority celebrate the end of winter in May each year with the Joshi (spring) festival.

It is a time to give thanks for the end of the harsh weather and to celebrate the arrival of the more productive spring months.

Until recently the Kalash had no calendars or watches. They work out the festival dates by the position of the sun.
