Mariachi El Bronx III was thebonly CD that I listenednto in the car for over 2 years as I thought that the CD player's eject was broken.
It isnt, and I have now replaced that CD with Ghost in a Shell: Stand Alone Complex OST volume 2
The sandalwood immediately made me think of Paladin's Grace, a fantasy novel where one of the PoV characters is a perfumer.
She gets frustrated that all of her rich male clients want a unique, bespoke cologne that smells like sandalwood.
Theres a Rey Mysterio one that makes you "smell like Latino World Order"
Its also scented with Lime & Mezcal.
Surely the authentic Rey Mysterio scent is something like pleather and horse placenta.
A square block lf dark grey soap with some soap suds. It is a tie in product with retired Pro Wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin. The text says "smell like whoop ass", "grit: heavy", "Featuring: beer" and "notes: tough leather and sandalwood"
There is a Stone Cold Steve Austin SOAP and it feels like the most "buy this as it is MANLY" soap ever.
- Leather & sandalwood.
- "Featuring beer".
- "Smells like whoop ass"
Seriously, it's so on the nose it feels like a joke.
A van has pulled up next to my parked car. It has a large "Quantum Plumbing" logo on the side, with the slogan "phenomenal service!" below, and a cartoon of a strange gnomish bearded man with white pair and pointed ears holding a wrench in one hand and a glowing atom in the other.
I don't want to know what calls for quantum plumbing, but I guess I'm glad it's available if someone needs it.
What I love about Yoko Kanno is that she was told to create an ominous, imperialistic theme for a scheming villain and she decided to use Kazoos.
And it worked!
Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing.
Persephone: Thank you.
Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.
This month’s episode PD Doling joins Mark to discuss the 22nd Discworld novel, The Last Continent.

I appreciate that its harder to grow some fruit & veg but I didnt expect Tesco to have to resort to importing tomatoes from Hyrule.
I mean, it got nominated. By Eamonn.
Hey bsky! It’s been a little while since I plugged this, so you probably haven’t seen it. Not only are we making a romcom that is witty, fast-paced, queer and anti-billionaire, but you can read the first 10 pages at the link below! #WorstManOGN

Get in the fucking shoe, Shinji
A friend wanted a favour so they started praising my Stamp collection.
The thing is, philately will get you nowhere.
I said "what a buddy Batou is," fifteen minutes and one crude video edit later, the brainworms gave control back
EXT: Day. The grave of Noel Edmonds. A figure lies face down in the freshly dug soil, sobbing inconsolably.
CAPTION: GREYFRIARS BLOBBY.
Hey @alan4l.bsky.social ,
Who are your favourite Clothesliners / Lariateers?
Both the usual suspects and a couple who you think are underrated.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
#WorstManOGN PREVIEW KLAXON!
The lovely folks at Proud Geek have the first 10 pages of our book, the ones that made up the pitch. Hopefully it’ll sell you like it sold our publisher!
Okay, who are your favourite Clothesline/Lariat throwing wrestlers?
It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.
I have just realised that the last wrestling media/writing thing that I did was writing about the Undertaker.
This cannot stand. I need to rectify this.
Thats 1 of the main reasons why they stand out.
They almost feel like the old Josh Kirby Discworld covers where there are so many details that you can just pour over the images trying to predict what each bit represents.
Although often those Discworld covers felt like Kirby used artistic license.
The cover of the hardback edition of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Pretenders to the Throne of God. It is a mixture of silver, blue and black with the central image showing soldiers using a cannon to target a city with a lighthouse. The 4 corners have images of a lizardman in a great coat, an almost skeletal soldier with a great axe over one shoulder, a soldier with an eye patch and a slathering lizard.
The covers for @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Tyrant Philosophers series are maybe the best in the business right now.
Joe Wilson is incredible at having these detailed, eye catching and very distinctive designs that whet your appetite for what is inside.
Didn't James Gibson do one in RoH?
Both bunnies and perpetrator were foiled.
When I was younger I dated a Matryoshka doll, but it didn’t work out. She was too full of herself
Amazing article, 2 thoughts
1) absolute cosmic horror fuel (as per Ethan’s note)
2) they gave it to mice. Did the mice see mouse-sized people or even tinier mice?
This is a lovely and quite beautiful story. I hope after I die, my bones get to go on further adventures too
