Calm Before the Thing 14 Nov, 2002 / Comments: 19

By Spaff


Thursday already? Time for another edition of Calm Before the Storm, where LEC fans hold out for LucasArts.com's Friday update. Let's make it a good one this week. You know...a good one.

Yes Calm Before The Storm, which is ironic because from where I'm sitting I can tell you that the weather outside is anything but calm. Brighton has been attacked by weather, but luckily the hail storms have yet to catch me out, although I can tell they are plotting.. oh yes.

So maybe a collection of bizarre links and things will cheer us up on this stormy but supposedly calm day?

First take your aggression out on this swearing xylophone You may have seen it before, you may have not, either way remember that the language isn't suitable for you if you are small and corruptible.

Dashing the hopes of the adventure-purist are these Space Quest sequel rumors.

Browse in complete privacy with Ghostzilla. The program that renders web pages into word Docs.. No more Boss-cathing-you-browsing-at-work syndrome™ unless you ARE a boss... in which case... ignore this, IT'S NOT FOR YOU TYPES!

This story on the BBC site talks about Michael Jackson. No one should really bother reading about him... but look at the picture of him. Seen it? Good. Now look again. his 'beard' freaks me out as does his 'nose'... and well.. is that really a human?. That fabulous publication The Sun was also there

An interesting poll taken recently has found that over one third of Britons see President Bush as more of a threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein, and have little or no faith in him whatsoever.
Asked to rate their trust in the two leaders on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 reflecting total trust, 54 percent gave Bush a rating of two or lower. Thirty two percent rated him zero. Sixty percent gave Blair a rating of five or less
Lets not get too political in the comments though, we might offend someone. (?)

Share with us your fun times! If you have any Lucas Related links that would make this post worthwhile! If not.. let us know how you are feeling.. or what you are doing. Not what you are wearing though.. we aren't that kind of site.
