So I just came across these, they’re from the king of the macabre, Tim Burton. Okay, he might share the title wth Stephen King but I prefer Burton’s artistic touch. As is very evident from his web comic collection. Read, enjoy and share your favourites!

This is just a short little not-so-well-planned rant. As you all know by now, I have a friend who is really crazy about this Muslim girl. They hooked up once and she told him she liked him but that she didn’t want anything. He was told the reason for this is because the family would not approve and it can’t go anywhere… so what was the point? Fair enough.

I now have another friend, a white girl, who really likes this black guy and we’ve ascertained that he feels the same way to her. Similarly to my first friend though - it’s familial approvement which will result in nothing happening.

I’m not going to write a whole article on this..

BUT OMW!! You have to read this : http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/cat_steve_dont_eat_it.php

Some of the funniest non-maddox-but-maddox humour I’ve read in a while..

Wow, suddenly I really miss my bi-monthly update of maddox

Etv aren’t exactly known for there quality tv shows. Classical examples would be Texas Walker Ranger and that dodgy crap that comes on Etv on Friday/Saturday nights.

One thing I can commend them on though is the fact that they have somehow pulled off this awesome move in showing one Champions League match Live on Tuesday nights, and 1 hr delayed matches on Wednesday nights. For us non-dstv peeps who love their soccer, this is really awesome!

But, alas it seems that even this faint light shinning through the dark abyss known as “Proudly Pathetic South African Television” (aka SABC 1,2 & ETV) (*note SABC 3 has some awesome shows. ) seems to be snuffed out by the incompetents of idiots that work at ETV..

As you all know UL and I got married recently, it was wonderful really… until we discovered a month after our nuptial that according to Home Affairs we were still SINGLE! Imagine my dismay, I had shared my bed with this man that was NOT my husband… well at least only according to our wonderful, swift, well organized Home affairs department…but in Gods eyes we were – Thank God! (I mean that in the most un-blaspheme way possible! …So what went wrong… well actually it seems quite a lot… and maybe before you decide to tie the knot, perhaps consider all the money, time and energy you will be spending in those beautifully green painted walls, with the dirtiest floor you have ever seen!!

Continuing our theme of bad ass Nes games of the 80’s and 90’s, here at boskak Rudaro and myself have tried to do the impossible.. FINISH ADVENTURE ISLAND!!

You would think that no game creators would ever be cruel enough to make a game that has no extra lives, no continue spots and no skip-level-back-door secret. But unfortunately there is.. That being the game called “Hudson’s Adventure Island” or also known as Wonderboy (arcade)

Not only is this game divided into eight worlds with four levels each, it also has a bad ass boss at the end of each world.

Check out the boss at the end of World 1 (below) courtesy of Rudaro.

Here at boskak we have decided to tackle some of those famous nes games that we loved so much while we were growing up (and still do :D). Their addictiveness and pure enjoyment just can not be matched by today’s games (plus you don’t need a killer machine to play them. Just Java and the internet.)

I’ve already tackled Bomberman , and a fellow boskakian is busy with mario bro’s. In the mean time, let us turn our attention to Iceclimber..

Have you ever wondered why Japanese people have this urge to club seals, and kill polar bears?? It’s because of Ice Climber.
Have you ever wondered why children love to jump onto moving things? It’s because of Ice Climber!!
Have you ever wondered why Jacob Zuma and George Bush are such complete and utter losers?? It’s because they didn’t play Ice Climber!

Let us just count the awesomeness of Ice Climber. When you didn’t want to do your home work, what did you do?? You played Ice Climber. When your mom pushed ice blocks over your awesome holes of destruction, what did you do? You smashed her with a large wooden mallet (or atleast you tried). (btw, the music to this game is the shizzle)

Okay, so here is a game that not only encourages seal bashing(USA version), yeti bashing(Japan version), bird bashing and polar bear smashing (you have to wait a while on the same platform for this), but it also supports Terradactyl flying and cloud jumping! How much more awesome can it get??

I have this facebook acquaintance who sent me an invite to the group “FB Models”.
So inquisitive little me decided to go take a look at this group. (btw, we all know that being a model on FB is like winning the retard of the year competition.. No one really gives a shit.)

So I scrolled down the page to see what other people had posted.(This usually happens when I have some bad ass coding to do, and I actually just do not feel like doing it, EVER!)

As I was browsing through the posts by these “models”, I was awestruck by the amount of stupidness all on ONE page! It is unbelievable.

Let me just show you a couple of examples.. (I know Mr Harris will cringe when he reads these.)

Heading : vote for me the underdog… i dont have a million ppl on facebook
Her insult to English :
“my objective is atleast 100 votes i know i’ll never be top 100 but still i want 100 votes so i can walk away happy with my self, so take a look and if you like what you see toss me a vote”
Her claim to fame :
Using one punctuation mark! (even though it was used in the wrong place).
You see that : she wants you to toss her a vote? Do these people really expect you to take them seriously?

Ah, the next abomination against everything good is especially great. (seeing that it is proudly south african and all.)

Heading : Miss SA teen (Is she really Miss SA teen?? HTF did she fill in her competition form?)
Her destruction of Shakespeare:
“being a model has its ups n its downs.. bt al in al its sumin we gta cope wit. dnt get me wrong.. da down n ups r da best thing abt our career n d@s y we stick it outan”
Her claim to fame :
Lowering the average model IQ score by 50 (aka 0)

Shame, some person pointed out the following about Miss Mancotywa
“I think there is more to modeling than a pretty face. Intellegence is a HUGE key when it comes to presenting yourself. So maybe you should can the street slang.”
Even the clever guys in that group can’t spell Intelligence. ><

And then some n00b replied to this persons post
“Jesilyn - I may well take a barracking for this but you are most totally deluded !! A Models Object is to sell - whether it be clothing, perfume or advertising of some sorts
Which market would you appeal to and more importantly….why ??”
Guess he never really touched on the subject of “models need to at least try act clever”.

Okay, back to work. But hey. Who said facebook is getting boring?
The fun has just begun!  (editors note : it looks like we have a model in our mist >< BURN!)

Before anyone starts thinking about the possibility of mini Ultra-L0rd’s running around, let me explain.

Or, rather. Let me show you my creation :

See, I took that little blue robot through 50 levels of bomb-planting mayhem….. We suffered together, we cried together, we blew up stuff together, and even became invulnerable every now and then. You know what I got for it??
All I got in return was this shitty little thank you screen (see below)

Notice to All Cricketing Nations visiting Australia.

Teams MUST adhere to following new mandatory ICC code.

1. Winning Rule: NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of cricket is maintained.

2. Fourth Umpire Rule: Ricky Ponting should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new ICC rules, FOURTH UMPIRE ’s decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek assistance from RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. Every visiting team should understand the importance of FOURTH UMPIRE

3. Amendment to Catching Rule: While Australian Team is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the Australian Fielder (within 5m distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grounded. Any decision for further clarification should be referred to FOURTH UMPIRE (specified above). This is to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

4. Integrity Rule: While batting, Australian players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each Australian batsman has to be out FOUR times (min) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

5. Sledging Rule: All Australian players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the Australian team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as racist only.
