Welcome...

...to the Bungers and Merg show!

Seeing as mmChronic was moaning about the lack of linkage yesterday, I'll try and sort out you all out with some quality news, rounded up from around the world today, in a John Craven style-ee. First off...

"Clerks" Clocking in for More.

Yeppers, Kevin Smith - the director responsible for the whole "New Jersey Chronicles" series of movies - Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back - has been inspired to put pen to paper after assembling a new anniversary DVD set titled Clerks X to cash in on the celebrate the 10th anniversary of his first movie. The new film, The Passion of the Clerks, is scheduled for release this time next year, and picks up a decade later on the non-adventures of Quick Stop convenience store employees Dante and Randal, who are now forced to deal with life as thirtysomethings.


EDIT : I forgot to mention that Kevin Smith has a hot wife who did a 5318008 shoot for Playboy, and the movie Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back features the talents of Shannon Elizabeth. Mmmmmmm...

Ah-ha! But I never actually said Newsround I said...quality news, rounded up from around the world today, in a John Craven style-eeI might've meant Countryfile news... ;)

BTW : We don't have to bicker, just because the usual bickerers are on their hols! Maybe we should show the world that we New Linkers can all get along in peace and harmony for a week.

Did you check out this blog that's been sending us a wee bit of traffic this week. It's good. He celebrates women's Volleyball, which is alright by me. It's by a guy called BuzzCraven who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Get yourself a WIP profile Buzz!

He's also spotted that the blogosphere is full of:

1. People who can't spell
2. People who can't capitalize.
3. People who can't punctuate.
4. People who can't write.

I'll be composing my USA political news coverage post this evening, so I might try and get a quote from one of our fellow bloggers on the other side of the pond...

I'll also try to punctuate the post in the correct manner, and I will attempt to stop using so many exclamation marks!!! ;)

The false Craven!

:lol:

You're being excessively funny today Merg, are you sick? ;)

And with regards to the (lack of) political coverage, we did kind of agree to have a ban on it, but some of the stuff is too funny to ignore, and some of it is too scary to ignore. So I figure we can use it. Anyway, seeing as we're running the show today, anything goes, just so long as we continue to:

"produce a site that is always amusing and always professinally produced. I'm constantly amazed that a group effort can remain so consistent in its quality and output."

:) Cheers to <strike>BS</strike> ourmaninhanoi for those kind words, again. I thought I'd publish that here, cause it's nice to get some recognition, once in a while, for our efforts! And if you are here for the first time, check out his page, and drop him some words of encouragement - he's off to 'Nam!

You must be sick, I never say "norks", I use the word "tats". =)

bungers said...

I did say "norks"!

Oh well, I thought that by adding the 5318008 link to the otherwise fairly innocuous Kevin Smith story I'd be maintaining the sites reputation for smut. At least whilst dogs is away. We do, after all (and as you so eloquently pointed out), have levels to maintain.

p.s. I think we automatically have a right to pass comment on who wins the election as it does have ramifications for our country i.e. dragging us off to a war we didn't really want to get involved in.

Interesting bit Arnie said yesterday about "it was a Presidents job to ignore what the polls say, and go with what you believe to be right". I'll try and dig it out for my politics spot later on today..

mmChronic said...

WTF?

Have I stumbled across the Guardian's letter pages by mistake?

You've all turned into a bunch of group loving hippies! :)

bungers said...

We're moving New Links to "The Moral Highground" now that you're on holiday! ;)

mmChronic said...

If it was up to you this would be the Blogspot equivalent of Daily Star so don't you moral high ground me Meester Bungholio! ;)

mmChronic said...

And Bungers previously mentioned tats in a global economy context. Is there a euphemism for jubblies he hasn't used yet? ;)

Right I'm off - be back on later via the power of steam and Stella.
