From the Bud and D Vault: Laura D's Report Card

I've been going through many of my notebooks of late. I came across one page that Bud wrote to me and thought I'd share...

No.19        Date 17.10.11

Laura shows promise in skills such as

• Monkeying around
• Voice impressions
• Stealing crisps (particularly S + Vinegar)
• Swearing
• Chewing + talking (simultaneous)
• Reading lists

In these regards Laura is a good pupil.

Well done!

Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap "It's a Treasure Box"




I feel this song is very underrated! It's what I imagine plays at some sort of pirate casino. Everyone going around on their peg legs and betting up a storm on the roulette wheel.

And here's a cool rockin' out version, enjoy chaps!

5 Board Games From My Childhood

Well hello there readers! Today begins a new series called "5 Things", where I list 5 things from my childhood. Today's category is board games, so let's get to it!

Now I'm not gonna mention the obvious games, Monopoly, Cluedo, Kerplunk! You know the ones. I do like Kerplunk though, I even like just saying it. KERPLUNK! Okay, to the games!

1. Don't Wake Dad!

This was so much fun! Though I'm not sure it would even be made nowadays, seeing as the whole idea was to sneak past dad to get midnight snacks from the fridge. Mmm, let's get fat kids!

2. Go For Broke!

You start with 1 million in cash! Now spend it all! This made a welcome change from the money grabbing world of Monopoly, a lot less stressful too. I loved playing the roulette wheel.

3. Upwords

It's Scrabble....but upwards! Again, I liked this because when you're wee Scrabble is kinda hard, this made it much easier AND faster to play.

4. And They're Off!

Yes I did have a lot of gambling related games. This one was fantastic but the hardest part was having to be the commentator. I'll leave that job to someone else while I dwindle my cash, thanks.

5. Star Trek: A Klingon Challenge

MEV! YOU! The one who is moving now...answer me human! So many times I have mentioned this AMAZING game. I cannot say enough about it. Just play it. Go ahead, take the challenge of the Klingon Sword to determine your destiny...

Well hopefully you all enjoyed this trip down memory lane, and that lovely warming nostalgia chemical is being released in your brain. Ahhhh, that's the stuff.

2 Stupid Things About Cups

1. When you bring the cup too fast to your mouth and hit your top teeth, ouch!
2. You lift up your cup and somehow a drop of the juice randomly flies into the air, what the hell!

This has been...2 stupid but random things about cups.
