I think you might be interested in my new blog. It’s just crazy stuff I’ve posted on craigslist and even some responses.
I’d like to thank you for reading my little note with this picture of Audrey Kitching:

Work asked me to contribute a piece of art for our reception. I decided to hack an old replica painting from a local flea market. I work for an Interactive Agency, so I thought this twist was apt: http://vimeo.com/7642912
So Paddy asks Murphy: “Why do scuba divers always fall backwards
off their boats?”
To which Murphy replies, “Well, if they fell forward they’d still be
in the frikken boat!”
This story happened a while ago in Dublin , and even though
it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it’s true.

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.
Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John , desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door…. only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn’t on. The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John , paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him. Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying…. and wasn’t drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John , were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other….
Look Paddy….there’s that fooking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!!!!’
I just wanted to say I’ve been a fan for a long while and check out your site all the time. Thanks for all the great posts! I just came across this Christmas prank that was posted today and HAD to share it with you.
Hi there. Wanted to pass this along to you. It’s not a complaint. (I love B&P and check it daily. I’m just not the type to comment.) The site kept constantly crashing my browser today. I guess it must be the cool snow effect.
Here’s what I found out:
Once I disabled the Skype extension for Firefox the crashing stopped. Something about it and snow don’t play well together evidently.
The snow still uses a lot of processor power but no more crashes.
I’m using:
Firefox 3.5.6
Slype extension for Firefox 3.3.0.3971
Windows 7 Enterprise
4 GB memory
Hope this helps if you get complaints. Merry Christmas!
Hey Jonco, I don’t know if you have had trouble with Amazon.com ads, but I am having trouble watching videos on B&P. At the bottom of my window it just keeps saying “Transferring data from Amazon.com” and it doesn’t ever finish. It makes the video choppy and unwatchable. Just a FYI. Aside from that, Merry Christmas to you and Gus!!

Hey Jonco, I can’t remember if you posted this on B&P or not, but I thought you might think it’s funny anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkzV5AIK8iM
