MultipliXymty...

Right, off out to see in the New Year with some tip top people.

Alas, being a Man In Demand, I cannot see all the Hot Babes tip top people who desire my presence.

So next year I'm nipping down Hamley's Toy Shop in the Arcade and buying a My First Chemistry Set so I can clone meself.

At least then I can turn up to all events and hopefully ogle/snog hot drunken party Pretties not disappoint people by not putting in an appearance.

See, I was going to stay in, as I had to let someone down, so thought that was bad. So I thought I'd treat everyone equally and show no favouritism.

However, much as I really wanted to go to the other event1, I was threatened by my Polish Pretty that if I didn't come to the other event, she'd squeeze my balls.

Now, if she's gonna do THAT to them if I DON'T go, imagine what she'll do to them if I do go!

NYE teabagging or some such, I shouldn't wonder!

1 OH? LET ME GUESS - THERE'S YET ANOTHER UNAVAILABLE PRETTY YOU WANNA
   LEER AT?

  AS IF! THEY'RE TOP MATES IS ALL! HONEST GUV!

The only, living boys, who are Goths...

And we surfaced in the Valley Of The Vajazzles!

Yes, we in Essexland, on the Alcatrazian rock known as Canvey Island!

Well, we were, but were are currently traversing towards the Essex Triangle... which is not a euphemism (although Vag/Flange Creak almost certainly is!). It's that mystical fugue of incorporeal displacement where several places merge and overlay each other. Namely Southend-On-Sea, Westcliff-On-Sea & Leigh-On-Sea.

Leigh-On-Sea, Xym?

Leigh-On-Sea!

And did we see any Master Butchers?

Did we buggery fuck as like!

Xym's 5'6 and 100 stones, the undisputed King of the Tums, no alias (unlike Klaus Barbie - the unseen butcher in Leigh-On-Sea), the one and once - Hold The Front Page...

[EDIT: SOME TIME LATER THE FOLLOWING DAY:]
Upon returning to Norwich, further lyrical amendments required thusly:
The King of the Goths got himself a Star Trek Enterprize Box Set for pleasuring the missus on Viagra and Amphetemine. Xym never got to second base thanks to that Ryan wotsisface, Xym's 5'6 and 100 stones, the undisputed King of the Tums, no alias (unlike Klaus Barbie - the unseen butcher in Leigh-On-Sea), the one and once - Hold The Front Page... Fat Xym's got somewhere to stay, where there's guests and there's boyfriends, at the Hepworth Hotel, making Xym feel quite awkward, where Xym lives life in style, confined to the sofa, where he wakes up at seven (no-one else till 11), Xym's fat and unhealthy, and John is possessed, Jo's toilets ain't healthy (John's not toilet trained), we just chuckle & smile, and laugh like some madmen, 2 born again Gothboys, here comes Xym The Fat Man. or something.

Nah, I'm just a financial advisor...

I'm taking up The Tobacco!

I've just seen an advert on the telly box, and to be honest I wasn't paying that much attention, but it showed some bloke 'avin' a faaaag, and the VoiceOver man said:

"Every 15 cigarettes causes a mutation"

How cool is that! 15 fags and my skellington gets an Adamantium coating. 15 more, and I gets retractable claws.

And it doesn't end there!

A few packs of ciggies and Nick Fury'll be on the blower, begging to borrow me eyepatch and preventing Balrogs passing with my pussy Magneto.

Or something.

But I'm not taking Money Advice from the worm from Labyrinth! Sure, it's cocooned into a metamorphosis of a dear little kindly white haired old knitting granny, but how can you trust anyone who tells you never to go THAT way. Especially when you need to travel though dangers unknown & hardships unnumbered to fight your way to the castle beyond the gobbling city to take back the child David Bowie has nicked for his mate Jacko, and it sends you off t'other way coz if you keep on going down THAT way, you'd go straight to their castle!

Wish I had 3 hands...

Well, I thought I'd venture out into The City for The Alleged Sales.

Strangely, everything is still the same price!

But it was a chance to finish up the Xmas shopping...

...and still came away with no Xmas shopping & yet more presents for myself!

Sweeties and Kate Beckinsale (which isn't lecherous, coz it's also got Kevin Webster out of Corrie for The Ladies).

Really need to find presents for The Essex on Satur... what am I thinking! They're getting the best present ever! The present of the presence of The Xym in Vajazzleworld!

What more can anyone ask for?

Apart from a slimmer, wittier, less troll-like alternative to Xym!

Food, glorious food...

Too... stuffed... to... move... and... too... fat.. to... blog...

And I was doing soooo well!

I was losing weight. I suspect I may have put it all back on again.

I may have bought & consumed waaaay too much!

But two huge and wonderful roasts though!

Pressies, Pressies, Pressies...

Well, a Snow Globe!

Followed by essential viewings:
● The Gruffalo
● The Snowman
● Father Ted: A Christmassy Ted
● Rare Exports
● Le Ballon Rouge
● Bottom: Holy
● Nightmare Before Christmas
● The Gruffalo's Child
● The Snowman And The Snowdog
● Hogfather
● Dr Who

And then it went all non-Xmassy cos me Blu-Ray of Gremlins has disappeared, Die Hard wasn't on, and one had partaken of too much Vodka Margerine, so I bunged on Evangelion Rebuild 1.11 instead!

Monday, 24 December 2012

'twas Xmas Eve babe...

...and I'd better pull me finger out & get some Xmas Shopping done!

And I needs to get me some noms for tomorrow!

Oi am a coider drinker...

Mulled cider is the tits!

Last night, Goats & Whores's, tried their mulled cider.

Forget mulled - The Xymon was totes mullered!

And whilst down The WhatACunt, more quaffage ensued! At one point, on the hunt for those partaking of The Tobacco, I ended up with a free pint of Coider & Black! How'd that happen?

Now I knows how easy it is to fall into alcoholism. Oh, Mulled Cider, how I miss thee!

ALL the things in threads...

No, not the library - Internetz forumz!

That hive of trolls, illiterati and opinionated gormsters1.

Now, I've rather foolishly joined forums before. And I did note that any comment is utterly assailed with a plethora of abuse from ill-informed gobshites.

There are times I truly wished I was a gormster, and could descend to the ignorance of others.

Anyhooo I dropped out, and rather foolishly joined others. Primary as a lurker to follow advice, new releases, cheap deals, etc.

But woe is Xym, for he cannot keep his great big fat gob shut!

Never mind the "Carl McCoy doesn't know his own lyrics, I know what they actually are, not what he sez they are" debacle from the Gormrazers (fucksake, they were arguing over Dawnrazor, Carl's wife Lynn calligraphed them, and put them on the official website. Apparently, those lyrics are wrong - despite sounding exactly like what's sung. Gormrazors always know better - like forming twat towers blocking everyones view and waving nemo fish about like retards).

Anyhew, one forum is dedicated a specific subject. One subject, that is, and one subject only. And sometimes it's hard to find relevant stuff on it, coz the forum is spammed with irrelevant shite.

Now, this particular subject is the Kindle. Problems, eBooks, purchasing, apps, etc.

So some woman starts a topic on "HELP! Is this dress suitable for a wedding, or is it to Office-y".

Unsurprisingly, it got panned for being off topic. Until someone said "What's so strange about this - why can't ladies have fashion sense?"

And, foolish fat boy that I am, I told them.

I happened to mention that it comes across that it's reinforcing stereotypes - that of the thick blonde bimbo who thinks only "dresses, dresses, dresses"2. Why else come onto a forum dedicated to discussing Kindle to derail it by babbling airheadedly about dresses? How on earth is pondering a party dress related to a Kindle, or Kindle eBook? It's not, which makes the poster either a spamming troll deliberately clogging up the thread with irrelevant trivial tosh, or a gossiping gormster who can't distinguish between an electronic device and attire. Surely if they want to discuss fashion, they post on a fashion thread, not an eReader thread!

All couched in my usual, inimitable, flowery style.

Suffice to say I was instantly hit with abuse by a triplicity of dress obsessed ogresses.

'snot my fault they can't comprehend that a Kindle Discussion Forum is a Forum to Discuss Kindles, and not the place to witter on about dresses, boyfriends, shoes and the fact that it's too wet to put the washing out (all actual previous discussions of great import to Kindle)! You'd think they'd have the sense to take such irrelevance to some Loose Women type forum, where they can bitch about men and geeks to their hearts content, revelling in taffeta, cakes and other stuff unrelated to eBooks and their ilk that they keep spamming the thread with.

Still, as it's not relevant to the forum, I had my say and left. No doubt I'm still being trolled and slagged off, but hey-ho, if people are too dumb to understand what Kindle Discussion Forum means, and that I'm not reading it3 because it's off-topic, more fool them! Let them expunge their venom to their hearts content - keeps them off the main thread, so everyone else can see some actual topics discussing Kindles!

[EDIT] Just had a quick squit for Blog purposes - 24+ replies since the harpies first descended... dare I look at the predictable comments....

...oh go on!

...yep, about what you would expect:
● Xym is a jealous woman with shoulder chips.
● Xym is a mysoginist.
● The Xym is not The Xym, it's just a false account specifically created to post under a false name4.

● Why can't talking about dresses be related to a Kindle Discussion? Just because it's a Kindle Discussion Forum doesn't mean we should only discuss Kindles5.
● Oooh, he must be loving us airheads lezzing it up on the forum
● He's only commented on this thread - must have a thing about dresses.


And now they've progressed on to discussing their knickers. Oooh, be a devil and wear none to the party!

Yes dear, I stand corrected. Your pants at a wedding are truly relevant to a Kindle discussion!

1 NATURALLY, EXCLUDING THE XYM!

2 SEE TWO PINTS OF LAGER AND A PACKET OF CRISPS, SERIES 3, EPISODE 6. CURIOUSLY ALSO ENTITLED DRESSES, DRESSES, DRESSES!

3 WHOA - BACK UP THERE XYM! IF YOU'RE NOT READING IT COZ IT'S OFF TOPIC, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO COMMENT ON IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
WELL - IN MY DEFENCE, I WAS GOING FOR THE DAY'S FREE EBOOK LINK, BUT ACCIDENTALLY HIT ONE OF THE SPAM THREADS, AND IMMEDIATELY SAW PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING WHY PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THREADS ABOUT DRESSES. I FINALLY DECIDED TO SAY WHY PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT IRRELEVANT THREADS, THEN BUGGERED OFF OUT OF IT! MAKE A STINK THEN LEAVE, LIKE FARTING IN A LIFT. THAT'S THE WAY TO GO!

4 WELL, I'M SURPRISED PEOPLE THINK THAT THE XYM IS NOT THE XYM, BUT SOMEONE PRETENDING TO BE THE XYM BY NICKING THE NAME OF THE XYM WITHOUT THE XYM'S KNOWLEDGE! THE XYM ACTUALLY IS THE XYM, YOU DUMBASS'S! THE XYM DOESN'T HIDE BEHIND FALSE ID'S! NO PSEUDONYM XYM!!

5 UM... YES! THAT'S WHY IT'S A KINDLE DISCUSSION FORUM, AND NOT A DRESSES FORUM, YOU THICK COW!

?? ??? ???? Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut
Remember Nightbreed? Snatched out of Clive Barker's hands and the last minute and butchered into a crapfest that made no sense, lost the whole plot and now impossible to get hold of? Well, Clive Barker recently found his VHS copies of the original footage that was thought lost. The film has been painstakingly reconstructed and re-edited to reflect the original vision. This "rough cut" is apparently really fucking brilliant, and pisses all over that shambles that was originally hacked to pieces for the original 1990 release. Obvs, as the extra footage is from Clive Barkers personal VHS collection, it's not great picture quality. However, turns out the "lost" footage isn't lost at all - Morgan Creek are still in possession of it! A negotiation has been agreed for them to release the footage for an uncut special Blu-Ray release... as long as they don't have to pay to produce it. WATCH THIS SPACE!!

From Neil himself: "When I finished writing The Sandman, there was one tale still untold. The story of what had happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in The Sandman #1, and why he was returned from far away, exhausted beyond imagining, and dressed for war. It was a story that we discussed telling for Sandman's 20th anniversary... but the time got away from us. And now, with Sandman's 25th anniversary year coming up, I'm delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told,"

Right. Latest is that there were… disagreements... on how to proceed. Those set on adapting The Book Of Ti'ana, and who though that wasn't a good introduction to Myst and wanted a new direction. Acrimonious splits ensued. When film the rights came to the end of the option period, a second lease was refused, and the option has been passed to Delve Films. Amongst the bitching, the film is slowly being developed again... but I wouoldn't hold my breath if I were me!
