I would wear this, but would have some concerns. I would hate to end up looking like a bit of a cock.
Etch A Sketch is a registered trademark for a mechanical drawing toy manufactured by the Ohio Art Company. An Etch A Sketch is a thick, flat gray screen in a plastic frame. There are two knobs on the front of the frame in the lower corners. Twisting the knobs moves a stylus that displaces aluminum powder on the back of the screen, leaving a solid line. The knobs create lineographic images. The left control moves the stylus horizontally, and the right one moves it vertically.
The Etch A Sketch was introduced near the peak of the Baby Boom, and is one of the best known toys of that generation. In 2003, the Toy Industry Association named Etch A Sketch to its Century of Toys List, a roll call commemorating the 100 most memorable and most creative toys of the 20th century. It remains popular to this day and is now online here, http://www.etchy.org/
The key to being a successful homeless person is making a funny or ironical sign. Once you've made a great sign and earned enough money to have disposable income, the the next thing you need to do is find a homeless girlfriend who doesn't have any teeth. Then all you need is a Gatorade bottle, an iPhone and a 1970's issue of Playboy. Having a samurai sword doesn't hurt either. Link below for the 5o funniest homeless signs.

The other day I needed to pay a visit to the public toilet, so I found a public toilet that had two cubicles.
One of the doors was locked. So I went into the other one, closed the door, dropped my trousers and sat down.
A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
Although I thought that it was a bit strange, I didn't want to be rude, so I replied, "Not too bad, thanks."
After a short pause, I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
Again I answered, somewhat reluctantly, "Just having a quick shit... How about yourself?"
The next thing I heard him say was, "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some cunt in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."
Slumdog Millionare swept the board at the Oscars last night!

The Loyal Toast is the first toast to be given at a formal gathering by the presiding person. The words used in the toast differ between countries and specific types of gatherings.
The Loyal Toast, simply the words "The Queen", is used within the United Kingdom, and by expatriates, as the first toast after a formal meal - sometimes followed by the singing of God Save the Queen.
Lancastrians often say "The Queen, Duke of Lancaster". Residents of the Channel Islands say, La Reine, notre Duc ("The Queen, our Duke"). In the Isle of Man, The Queen, Lord of Mann is said. It is customary not to smoke until the sovereign has been toasted.
Many British institutions and military regiments have their own variations. For example, the lawyers of Lincoln's Inn traditionally take the toast sitting down. This commemorates an occasion when Charles II dined at the Inn, and the entire company was too drunk to stand up. The Royal Navy also deliver the toast seated, due to the inadvisability of standing up suddenly below decks; this custom dates from King William IV, who, having served as a naval officer, had experienced the discomfort of standing up below decks, and authorized the Royal Navy to toast him sitting down.
A significant breach of protocol regarding the Loyal Toast occurred in 1948 when John A. Costello, the Taoiseach of Ireland visited Canada. Harold Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis, who was Governor General of Canada refused to toast the President of Ireland, only the King. This is believed by many to be an inspiration for the Republic of Ireland Act 1948, which declared Ireland to be a republic.

50 Pence, the pseudonym of UK hip hop producer Liam Don (born January 14, 1986 in Germany), is an artist spoofing Queens New York's hip hop star 50 Cent, based in Watford, England. He is known for parodying 50 Cent's singles by replacing the songs' various subjects with his rhymes about British pub culture, such as "P.I.N.T." (off 50 Cent's P.I.M.P.), and "In Da Pub" (a riff on "In Da Club"). His album title also spoofs 50 Cent's, with Get Rich or Claim Benefit as his categorization of English "ghetto" life. Mimicking 50 Cent's claim of being shot nine times, 50 Pence claims to limp from an accident on the stairs. He drives a Vauxhall Nova rather than a Mercedes-Benz, and his "girlfriend's mum" gave him the cash to buy all his "fancy stuff".
In early April 1988, George Harrison was in Los Angeles and needed to record a B-side for a European 12-inch single. Jeff Lynne was also in Los Angeles producing some tracks for Roy Orbison as well as Tom Petty’s solo album. While having dinner with Lynne and Orbison, Harrison related how he needed to record a new track and wanted to do it the next day. Both offered to help. Needing a studio on short notice, Harrison suggested they call Bob Dylan, who had a home studio. After dinner, George stopped by Tom Petty’s house to pick up his guitar for the next day’s session and invited him along too. Gathering at Dylan’s Malibu home the following day, they wrote and recorded the song “Handle with Care”, with all five sharing the vocals.
The track was considered too good to be used as a B-side, so Harrison hatched the idea to form a band and record another nine songs for an album. The group got together again for nine days in May, recording the basic tracks and vocals at Dave Stewart’s home studio in Los Angeles. Overdubs and mixing were done back in England at Harrison’s home studio at Friar Park Studio, Henley-on-Thames.
Masquerading as the Wilbury brothers, the participants would be known as Nelson (Harrison), Otis (Lynne), Lucky (Dylan), Lefty (Orbison) and Charlie T. Jr. (Petty). Harrison was no stranger to the use of alternate identities with Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but this concept was taken a step further: their real names never appear anywhere on the album, liner notes, or even the songwriting credits.
I'm now on Twitter. I'm not that sure what the point is, though I originally thought the same of blogging. The idea seems to be to let your friends know what you're thinking, in a similar way to the status updates on Facebook. Let's see whether it keeps people's attention. In the mean time, is there anybody out there who's got a Twitter name as well?
I remember this from school:
1. Obtain 15 lb. of ripe yellow bananas.
2. Peel the bananas and eat the fruit. Save the skins.
3. With a sharp knife, scrape off the insides of the skins and save the scraped material.
4. Put all scraped material in a large pot and add water. Boil for three to four hours until it has attained a solid paste consistency.
5. Spread this paste on cookie sheets and dry it in an oven for about 20-30 minutes. This will result in a fine black powder (bananadine). Usually one will feel the effects of bananadine after smoking three or four cigarettes.
It's a hoax!
Bananadine is a fictional psychoactive substance which is allegedly extracted from banana peels. A recipe for its extraction from banana peel was originally published as a hoax in the Berkeley Barb in March 1967. It became more widely known when William Powell, believing it to be true, reproduced the method in The Anarchist Cookbook in 1970 under the name "Musa Sapientum Bananadine" (referring to the banana's binomial nomenclature). The original hoax was designed to raise questions about the ethics of making psychoactive drugs illegal and prosecuting those who took them; "what if the common banana contained psychoactive properties, how would the government react?".
Researchers at New York University have found that banana peel contains no intoxicating chemicals, and that smoking it produces only a placebo effect. Over the years, bananadine has become a popular urban legend.
David Clarence Boon, MBE, sometimes referred to as Boony (born 29 December 1960, in Launceston, Tasmania) is a former Australian cricketer of the 1980s and 1990s. He was a stocky right-hand batsman who fielded at short leg.
He famously vomited on the Adelaide Oval in a WSC game in 1988 before a live national television audience of millions (he went on to make 122 and win Man Of The Match). He has also been popular for his drinking exploits and singing of team songs.
Boon achieved much fame and notoriety for consuming 52 cans of beer on a flight from Sydney to London before the victorious 1989 Ashes tour that saw Australia regain the trophy after five years of English dominance; the previous record had been held by Rod Marsh, who it is believed consumed 45 cans, although there is conjecture as to whether Marsh actually finished can #45, and some believe his attempt only equalled the record of 44 cans set by Doug Walters. Another passionate report of said record claims Boon finished 54 drinks totalling around 19.5 litres of beverages @ 5% alcohol (per 375ml serve), the majority of which consumed at such an altitude that the effects of the alcohol were doubled. Boon is often jokingly referred to as the "Keg on Legs".
Michael was an alcoholic. And not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor, well, rectally. His wife said he was "addicted to enemas" and often used alcohol in this manner. The result was the same: inebriation.
The machine shop owner couldn't imbibe alcohol by mouth due to a painful throat ailment, so he elected to receive his favourite beverage via enema. And tonight, Michael was in for one hell of a party. Two 1.5 litre bottles of sherry, more than 100 fluid ounces, right up the old address!
When the rest of us have had enough, we either stop drinking or pass out. When Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out) the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed. The next morning, Michael was dead.
The 58-year-old did a pretty good job of embalming himself. According to toxicology reports, his blood alcohol level was 0.47%.
Levels of Blood Alcohol Concentration:
Euphoria 0.03 to 0.12%
Lethargy 0.09 to 0.25%
Confusion 0.18 to 0.30%
Stupor 0.25 to 0.40%
Coma 0.35 to 0.50%
Death more than 0.50%
Still looking for a wedding present, perhaps for a friend who has recently got married in New Zealand?
A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees.
Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.
"I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper on Wednesday.
The couple, married for 14 years, are now divorcing, the newspaper reported.
Chuck Norris facts are satirical factoids about martial artist and actor Chuck Norris that have become an Internet phenomenon and as a result have become widespread in popular culture. The facts are normally absurd hyperbolic claims about Norris's toughness, attitude, virility, sophistication, and masculinity. Some of the most famous examples include:
"When Chuck Norris falls in water, Chuck Norris doesn't get wet. Water gets Chuck Norris."
"When Chuck Norris does pushups, he doesn't lift himself up. He pushes the world down."
"Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Ever."
"If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow the f**k down."
The facts typically claim that Chuck Norris is some type of tough, all-powerful superbeing. Allusions are also sometimes made to his use of roundhouse kicks to perform seemingly any task, his large amount of body hair with specific regard to his beard, and his role in the action television series Walker, Texas Ranger.

BBC Website:
"Gritting teams in the Black Country were called away from the main routes to clear road blocks made out of giant snowballs by pranksters.
Councillor Adrian Andrew, deputy leader of Walsall Council, said the blockages were caused by "irresponsible yobs".
A council JCB was being sent to break up the snowballs - some of which were more than 5ft (1.5m) tall - on Thursday afternoon."
:) haha!

The Lone Ranger and Tonto had been riding down the trail all day. When they had stopped to take a rest Tonto placed his ear to the ground and listened.
"Buffalo come," remarked Tonto.
"How can you tell, Tonto?" asked the Lone Ranger.
"Face sticky!"
