Post Recycling – June 2009

June 2009 started for PSGOM with my first ever comedy review, Paul Kerensa at The Brindley in Runcorn.  It’s slightly too concerned with the mechanics of actually going to to the gig, rather than the gig itself, but I had to start somewhere.  From a personal point of view, it’s probably one of the last occasions that I had a glass of ‘full-fat’ coke, because of this.  It’s hard to remember now just how addicted I was to the fizzy, brown, stuff.

In an early pre-cursor to my Waffle posts, I wrote about the harrowing, and misunderstood, problem of Cheese Fascism.  If you don’t like cheese, then you’ve got a real problem in this so-called society that we live in.  Cheese haters unite!

From time to time, PSGOM features some guest material, such as the following discovered by Team Extreme’s very own JLS.  Yes, we take a look into the sinister world of the PTC (Pony Tail Club), as we ask, Francis Rossi – Traitor? You’d have to say that the leaflet certainly sends mixed messages, but I’m sure it was a very emotional time for them all.

This was the month that saw the birth of the Milk Bottle Manifesto, which was something of a master-stroke, if I do say so myself. It allowed me to combine something I was already doing (writing stupid milk bottle labels) with the creation of very quick blog posts.  I had hoped that the MBM would have spread worldwide by now, causing mayhem and intellectual debate in and around office fridges.  This doesn’t seem to have happened, despite some valiant efforts by Dr Angel.  The first two entries in the MBM were “I Like To Wear Silk” and ” Whoopsie In My Beret“.  It’s really stirring stuff and I’m shocked that they haven’t provoked some kind of worker’s revolution.  Whoopsie In My Beret actually gets a surprising amount of hits; there must be a lot of Frank Spencer fans out there.

There’s not much I can say about the post “I Don’t Like To Brag, But…“, except to say that those are my initials in the article and the Daily Star have never been known to be wrong.  Ladies of the world, beware of my erotic talents.

This month saw PSGOM’s most popular post ever.  I say “popular”, but it would be more accurate to describe it as the post that contains the most references to penises and so generates the highest number of hits.  Yes, it’s the infamous Sex Sells: The Mr Banana Penis Story.  If you’ve ever wondered what a man looks like with a banana for a penis then this is the post for you.  Who is the mysterious Mr B-P, and what is his connection to Team Extreme?  Study the photo carefully, the answer is there for you all to see.

This week sees my one year anniversary of being on Twitter, as recorded in the post Bit Of A Twit.  I won’t be having a party, but presents will be gratefully accepted.  Twitter is a weird thing, and as I pointed out earlier this week, it’s a hard thing to explain to those that don’t use it.  If you’re not on there, my advice is to get an account, follow a load of people you’re interested in and get tweeting.  In 52 weeks time you’ll bloody love it.
