I'm going to spend the day replying to mail and answering comments and reading and feedbacking and stuff. In a parallel universe. In this one I'm going to sit in a basement buggering about with adverts for farm machinery.

( Things )

Oh, so much to do in LJ-land, and so little time. Before I forget, I must paraphrase from tonight's episode of genial BBC2 celebritity quiz show, QI. May be amusing for lobelia321 and other arthropod lovers.

***

Stephen Fry: Can anyone tell me what an arthropod is?

[there follows general arthropod discussion]

SF: And what distinguishes the European earwig?

Alan Davies: It's very well endowed?

SF: Well, yes, many arthropods are. The earwig's penis is actually longer than it's body. But more importantly, it has two. It has a spare one.

Jimmy Carr: I'd quite like to see earwig porn.

SF: What do you call an insect that sucks?

[various witticisms are attempted]

SF: Yes, it's what we in the gay community call a bottom feeder...

AD: Can I be part of the gay community?

SF: Oh, very well...

AD: I'll be the gayest of the arthropods!

SF: Gay arthropods... yes, they probably have websites devoted to them...

In other news, I've finished the stupid two lines fic!! But it doesn't have a title. So I can't post it.
