Well unfortunately the commercial break is over and I am back blogging. The temporary break was caused by a perl I found on my web server, the perl came out of a big clam and was a slightly odd shape and nothing worked anymore. This lead to to the death of Movable Type and then I had to install a copy of wordpress instead, and style it, twice.

Another quick gorilla illustration in robotworld, this was drawn after a dream I had that I was corporate ninja for Grittish Bass.I think from now on am going to give up writting rubbish and instead just write stories about the pictures I have posted.

Yesterday was a league cup night so I made a lobster illustration and a walrus, in pen, pencil and coloured digitally.

Ok so what shall I waffle about today, hurm… “celebrity” game shows… no… polar bear burgulars….. no … hurm.

Ok here is a list of my unanswerable questions:-

1) How were rugby scrums invented ?
2) When will Gillette decide that they have enough blades on their razors (is 6 really enough).
3) How do they get Teflon to stick to a saucepan.
4) Why is it that when you go overdrawn banks charge when they know full well you have no money.
5) Why can’t you type properly when someone is looking.
6) Why does my printer have to do warm up exercises when I turn it on.
7) How does a word end up in the dictionary, can I make one up say “badgerisation” and submit it.
8) Why do internet company’s have to have one short name completely meaningless to what the sell.
9) Who decided that a picture is worth a thousand words, if so where can I exchange my pictures for words
10) why is the last question on this list completely pointless.

That’s actually one of my pet hates, lists on blogs, actually the list of the 5 most boring things on blogs goes like this:-

1) A list of things you have done
2) A pointless picture of what you are, (ie i am a fish, find out what animal you are test)
3) Putting a sketch up each day and writing a load of rubbish about it
4) Writing about what is boring on blogs
5) Saying that dreams are weird, all dreams are weird. If they weren’t weird how would you tell it was a dream.

Enough of this rant time for a sandwich.

A quick monkey illustration while I think what to type.

I really enjoy corporate strap lines and actually looking at what they are trying to say. Here’s a few of my recent favourites.

P&O Ferries “making life easier”
Yes they are if you want to get across the channel taking a ferry IS easier than swimming it.

O2 phones “See what you can do”
Perhaps make a phone call ??

Nvidia “Making your dreams real”
Ok so if I had a dream about being eaten by a gigantic octopus these guys with their graphics card could make it a reality for me ?

Pizza Hut ” Grab a slice of the action”
Well yes as long as your slice is a pizza based product.

Marks and Spencer “its your M&S”
Is that true, well actually if its mine I am going to sell it off on the stock exchange for a big fat profit.

Audi “Vorsprung durch technik.”
Er… I have no bloody idea what that means ?

Microsoft “Where do you want to go today?”
Well actually I want to go on a bike ride to Warwick Technology park, how do I do that on Windows XP home.

BMW “”The ultimate driving machine.”
They might as well say ” its a really good car”.

MacDonalds “I’m lovin’ it”
They seem to be saying “hey this is great, you fill your fat face on greasy burgers and we rake in hideous amounts of profit”. Yeah I bet they are bloody loving it.

Having said all this they do bring hours of amusement, I think I will have to work on my own one….

Maybe….
