Reminiscent of the Yeti Sports game, "Flamingo Drive", only more violent...

This is a disused diamond mine in Mirny, Russia. The little things in the background are tower blocks!

Diamond mine? Jeez, looks more like the impact crater of an asteroid or meteorite!
Must've been one hell of a big diamond to fit in that hole

Well, this story was on our local news today! A man at the coast was trapped for two days... in a gorse bush! He couldn't be freed from the dense bush so had to be winched out by HELICOPTER! Ha!

There's this bloke called Danny Wallace who has decided to create his own country and has done so and declared himself king of it. He is King Danny I of an as-yet-unnamed country. This country is situated errm, somewhere in the middle of London...it's his flat

. Incidentally if you've heard of Dave Gorman, this is the bloke he made the bets with to find all the Dave Gormans and do the Googlewhack thing and all that.
Anyway Danny has made a website to promote his country and to get people to sign up as citizens and stuff but I thought it might be one of those weird things that some chaps here might want to read about

. The web address is citizensrequired.com and it's a laugh

. Watch his National Anthem (need RealPlayer), it's great

Yeah, love Dave Gorman, and heard of Danny through that, then read his book Join ME - funny (liek this) Bought 'Yes Man', a simialr thing (he mentioned it in an interview) and hen lent it to a friend so haven't read it myself - apparently hilarious

Post by **Ameena** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 8:37 pm

Yes I know about "Join Me" too...he made a song about it ("Join me! Join Danny! Join me!" etc)...my friend loves this stuff too, she joined Danny and is a citizen of his as-yet-unnamed country. She has Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure on DVD. I've only seen the first episode of the Dave Gorman Collection and about half of his Very Important Astrological Experiment

Seen the series ages ago and rewatched and eiposde recently,m my friend saw the googlewhack thing live, and I've seen the DVD.

Hmm, forgot about the very important astrological experiment.... haven't seen it. Pity the Dave Gorman collection isnt' out on DVD... stupid BBC or whoever would have the rights to release it

For those who like the Lone Wolf, Sorcery, or simular game books,
The Underdogs has released a new series of books for the
Fabled Lands at http://www.the-underdogs.org/showbook.php?id=33.

The site rates these very highly.

Agreed that Dave Gorman is very funny! I remember watching the original Dave Gorman Collection and thought it was hillarious. The whole concept of MPDGs was inspired. Incidently, the book ("Are you Dave Gorman") of it is also great - well worth a read. I also then went to see the Googlewack Adventure live - although it wasn't as good, it was still well worth it.

The Very Important Astrological Experiment was a bit random, but had it's moments too.

Just ordered the book, so as long as Amazon doesn't decide to be out of stock suddenly, should get to read through it soon enough : )

Post by **Ameena** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 3:00 pm

My friend has the "Are You Dave Gorman?" book...she's reading it atm I think...I'll borrow it at some point once I'm done with Pern and some other books I borrowed off another friend.

oh dear, that doesnt seem nice o.o, you rip paul's home away from him, then trap him in a maze of salt?

Thats pure EVIL! Only Zyx...

hmm, just look up evil in the dictionary, you should find his name

Trantor · Post by **Trantor** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 4:18 pm

I think everybody here should have his own "theme music", like boxers or wrestlers or so... I suggest using the song "Pure Evil" by Iced Earth for Zyx.

hmm... either i lost my sense of humor, or its normal to think that wasnt at all funny... think i need to do something... try and cheer myself up... i dunno...

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:17 am

I sorta liked it for its quite obvious falsity. It couldn't be true.. I think... Not something I am going to try though! I take my hat off to the person who made it, very well done.

Post by **Zyx** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 7:07 am

Of course it's fake. Consider this as a cartoon, Sera. A skull cannot explode due to a small air pression!

I prefered Paul's fake dog, though.

Sera · Post by **Sera** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 9:49 am

heh, i know its fake, but im finding it difficult to find anything funny lately

It's a fauirly seemless join - but yes, Paul's 'real' dog was a much better feight of photoshopping skills

My dog says 'hi'.
