Christmas


I've been getting ready for Christmas
I'm revving up for the great day
my credit card's cracked and my freezer is packed
'cause I started my shopping in May

The mistletoe's hanging in bunches
'cause the odd Christmas kiss isn't wrong
and the Vicar I've found - quite likes calling round
and exploring my crowns with his tongue

The bin men have gotten quite friendly
they're after a present I fear
they won't feel so chuffed when I tell them - get stuffed
'cause they don't speak the rest of the year

The family is coming for dinner
last year it was quite a good laugh
we ate fairly late - dished the veg on the plate
found the turkey was still in the bath

the Kids are all pink with excitement
'cause Santa will come so they say
their lists are extensive - extremely expensive
and they'll break it all by Boxing day

But it's worth all that fuss Christmas morning
when their little eyes are all aglow
when we're all feeling merry full of goodwill and sherry
and suffering from wind Ho Ho Ho

But please don't forget why we do it
why each year we must go to this fuss
for that guy up above who brought peace and brought love
and who probably owns Toys R Us..........

At Christmas Time


At Xmas time when we were kids,
we were bloody poor,
and Santa weren't too generous
when he knocked upon our door

But we made do by saving up,
yes every little bit
"We may be poor" said dear old Dad,
"but I dont give a shit!"

Our Xmas tree stood tall & proud
and rigid as a totem,
With Xmas baubles hangin' there.....
like testies in ya scrotum!

Everyone loved Xmas dinner,
no if's, and's or but's,
and all us kids would piss ourselves
when Grandpa dropped his guts.

We'd leave a six pack for Santa
and he always drank it quick,
then I found out it was just me Dad,
the alcoholic prick!

But all in all we had fun,
and lot & lots of cheer,
Now I can't wait till I've got kids....
cause I'll get a carton of beer!

A Letter to Rudolph


Dear Husband, It is time that I must have my say,
I've taken your shit day after day.
I've kept the home peaceful year after year
Now there is going to be changes, so listen my dear.

So you're famous, everyone knows your name,
And you're a specialist by gum, in the transport game,
You think you're so grand with your important job.
But I'm telling you my dear you're a worn out old yob

363 days a year,
You sit on your arse drinking scotch, rum and beer,
You claim it is to keep up the shine on your nose
So Santa can see where he bloodywell goes.

One night a year is all that you work,
You and your eight reisty mates - they're all jerks.
Dasher and Dancer - Speed freaks I say,
The sleigh wouldn't go that quick any other way.
Prancer and Vixen - Just cheap little tarts,
But they look like angels once Comet starts.

Cupids on some freaked out damned power trip,
And Donner...well, she should just get a damned grip
And Blitzen, I almost don't need to say,
Is here getting blitzed with you every day.

All of these years at the front of the sled,
Has gone, I'm afraid, to your crusty old head.
You're a layabout and a drunkard, with a big shiny nose,
And a weakness for elves in black pantyhose.

I'm telling you husband that one Christmas song,
Has made you think that you can do no wrong.
So this year while your out with old Santa's sled,
I am eloping, my dear, with your friend - Mr. Ed

This is for all bicycle enthusiasts out there. The guys at Resource Revival have made a table from recycled bicycles. You'll recognize the cogs and rims. But look at the tiny details, like the rolled inner tubes that are used at the feet of the table. Marvelous! Put your feet up on the table and pop in the DVD quicksilver!

The origin of Philips Electronics has been made possible by Edison, because their first products were light bulbs. While Philips does not produce a lot of bulbs anymore, they still have a lot to do with lighting. They think it’s the future. Check out the following weird light related Philips inventions.

Some of them look really great, but we think that others don’t have a long light life expectancy…

]]> PRINTING 2.0 http://www.acf-fr.org/11/printing-2-0 http://www.acf-fr.org/11/printing-2-0 Fri, 11 May 2007 12:07:01 +0200

Actually, this is printing 3.0, because it is three dimensional printing. This printer, by DesktopFactory, is the first desktop-size 3D printer, measuring only 20x20x25 Inch. It can print items of a maximum size of 5x5x5 Inch in a durable plastic material. According to Desktop Factory, this means that you can build functional models from the bottom up, one layer at a time. According to us, this means that you can print your own golf balls, action figures, or just one of your own weird creations.

With a price varying from 5 to 7K (in US dollars, that is), it is not even a giant investment for professional designers, engineers and schools. These things used to cost around $15,000. Ok, $7,000 still is not cheap, but hey! You can print in 3D! You can also use a professional high speed printer and print enough paper to make your own 3D model of paper mache.

And guess what? You’re the designer!
Design your own toast with this retro style looking, pop art logo burning toaster. It’s toastastic!

The toaster has 6 design plates, which create patterns like double hearts, LUV U, flower or snowflake on your toast. This means that it -unfortunately- isn’t possible to design your own piece of toast completely. The toaster also has 12 toasting levels, reheat and frozen, a slide-out crumb tray and comes in white, red, black and blue. For sale for around $35.

Have you ever taken some time to look up in the sky and check out those fluffy clouds? If you have, you'll know that some of them may look very familiar. And you don't have to be a pot addict to see it.

Are you bored with using your everyday-ordinary pencil? Ever wanted to draw with a pair of feet (and that didn't sounded strange to you) ? Maybe these extraordinary pencils from Agelio Battle (link:www.asbworkshop.com) do the trick for you.

Starting from $45, one can buy pencils in the shape of fruits, body parts, tree's etc. Each sculpture is cast using Batle's unique molding and carving process. Carbonaceous graphite (mineral remains of prehistoric plant life) is fused with smudge-resistant compounds, then cures into the object before you.
