Life, Culture and Politics from BrisVegas
Larvatus Prodeo was an Australian group blog which discussed politics, sociology, culture, life, religion and science from a left of centre perspective. more»
Speaking as an already cyborged human:

What is Ytterbium? The planet of the lipsnigers, I suspect… Or the land of latte and cake?
Ps – if you want to post your result, strip out all the code but the opening bracket then img src = then the name of the image and close the code after the second set of inverted commas…
Hey, this is fun.
As you can see, I had no luck posting the image. However, I tried the avatars for some of our politicians and found that Ruddock translated to “Robotic Unit Designed for Dangerous Observation and Ceaseless Killing” and Dubya stood for “Digital Ultimate Battle and Yelling Android”.
Ytterbium is element 70, named (along with Erbium and Yttrium) after Ytterby in Sweden, land of the sperm thieves.

Aaargh. Let me edit that.
That’s better. Anyway, flippant posts are GOOD and give one’s brain a rest from politics and nazi babykillers and suchlike.
youre too sensitve Kate.
I though “Larvatus” rose from the dead!!
All part of my not inconsiderable charms, Homer.
And the ROBERTCORR’s ceaseless observation on IR continues to be outstanding, btw. Thanks, Rob.

Kiss me kate I have never said you were without charm!

Jason do you have any argonoughts or are they worhshipping the Soon God?
Homer – are you (gasp) flirting?
No
for the mostly young things who inhabit this blog kis me kate is a monicker people would give to women named kate ( !!) firstly after a women in a musical from the 50′s madebetter known in Asutralia by a galloper in the 70′s I think.
monickers are not associated with flirting but are given to people you know and like.
As can be seen there is a lot of huge intellectual capital that goes into thinking them up.

NICBOT: TIME IS IRRELEVENT TO THE INTERWEBS! Exterminate, exterminate!
It appears Nicbot is trapped in linear time.
I did know what Homer was going on about. For once.
Also, those who want the pic in: you have to leave in the image info but not the width etc, like so, only with the proper brackets:

I’d like you to get me a cabbage and 10 potatoes from the coolroom, please Leinad.
Homerkles and Soon-Factor,
You may know your musicals, but obviously not your Shakespeare. I don’t think you’re at all shrewish, Kate*.
[*Not flirtin'. Just complimentin']
Indeed not yet tamed but in some hamlet, denmark?
Now you would be coled up there!

You are hammersteining me there.
You will have to call me okla homer
Fear me, puny single robot mortals for I am:
Nothing apparently.
Careful Gummo,
you are gong close there without perhaps knowing it.
That’s it – no more mister nice guys. [Thinks - this had better work, or we'll be looking very silly]
Silly it is then.
Don’t know if this imagey thingy is going to work and I’ll end up like Gummo but I quite like my monster name.
Ok, didn’t work. So much for being the Sinister Horror from the Arcane Underground Necropolis.
If I, known for my lack of puter skills, can do it, surely all you smaht people can too?
Too smaht for their own good.
I’ve got uni smahts which are unsuitable for the real world. Happy now Dad!
Alright here we go-
I’ll never be good enough for my father. [sobs]
Yep. In the image of my creator.
It seems you have to remove all the line breaks for it to work.
Not.
Heh.
i’ll try again
People can always email me the code they get and I’ll fix it for them and post it where the blank comment is.
Dunno, Mark, don’t think the above could be funnier even if it did have the images. Looks like you’ve got this one on all of us, Kate.
Technician Optimized for Nocturnal Yelling – must have been outside my window Friday night when my daughter wee’d in my bed.
