Liquor & Drugs & A Quiz Machine - 26/8/9 |
|
|
By: Al Tom Of The Desert |
|
|
In the words of Dr. Nick Riviera, hi everybody!
Time for the only quiz endorsed by the Harlem Globe Trotters AND that purple blobby thing you see when you get up in the middle of the night to wee: THIS ONE! Alrighty, without shilly-shallying around (whatever the fuck... |

Think I'll Go And Eat Quiz - 20/8/9 |
|
|
By: Tom (me) |
|
|
OK, it's Wednesday again. After two weeks only one person could be fucked replying, but doing re-runs for another week seems lame. Not quite "Channel Ten's entire lineup" lame, but still fairly lame. Sort of "buying lunch when you already made sandwiches, just because y... |

Quiz Drops On The Dance Floor - 5/8/9 |
|
|
By: Tomack & Tomack |
|
|
Well hello, sailors !
Yes, Wednesday is wolf-whistling campily at you from a street corner, feather boa draped around his shoulders. PUT SOME CLOTHES ON WEDNESDAY! He's just never been quite the same since New Orleans flooded, poor chap. Oh well, enough about humpda... |

Wednesday Quiz of Love - 29/7/9 |
|
|
By: Thomasse Umlaut Vorgenson |
|
|
What up, bee-hatches?
Wednesday thrusts its way into our lives once more, spurting mid-week apathy all over the curtains in a really disgusting metaphor I don't intend to continue further. I say we throw Wednesday into general population and let him find out what the... |

BOOK REVIEW - Swann's Way |
|
|
By: Marcel Proust |
|
|
Cover-
Despite being the most respectable English translation of Proust available (Montcrieff and Kilmartin edition), mine had a dustjacket like the laminex from a 1950s beach house. I suppose, with most classics, the safe option is either A- a print by an artist of th... |

BOOK REVIEW - Rude Kids |
|
|
By: Chris Donald |
|
|
-Cover
A few cartoons "sticky-taped" to a sort of brown backdrop (which seems intended to evoke a defaced school desktop or possibly exercise book), including background scribble and the title header of the magazine. From the point of view that this is the cover of a b... |

BOOK REVIEW - Confessor |
|
|
By: Terry Goodkind |
|
|
-Cover
As on the last book, we're looking at giant black bars with giant silver text, and a vague photographic background (mountains, this time) over which a women's silhouette has been uncomplicatedly photoshopped. And the author used to be a graphic designer, you say... |

BOOK REVIEW - Wanted (Trade Paperback) |
|
|
By: Mark Millar, JG Jones & Paul Mounts |
|
|
-Cover
A torso shot of the main character, suited & masked up. Not a lot of detail, and doesn't really provide any character clues, but A- it demonstrates Jones' skills, and B- this is a trade paperback, so all the individual comic covers re included inside for later p... |

|

A woodcut-style print on charming wholemeal paper, using flat blocks of colour to show a woman on a tractor between some hand-drawn type.
-Plot
Nikolai, a Ukrainian pensioner, is widowed, having lived in suburban UK with his wife for fifty years. His daug... |

BOOK REVIEW - A Confederacy of Dunces |
|
|
By: John Kennedy Toole |
|
|
-Cover
A photograph of a fat man, from the neck to ankles, slouched on a sofa, hand deep in a bucket of popcorn. It's part of some 'classic' re-issue set, I think. The odd thing is that, as I was reading it, my mind kept flashing back to a much better cover for the sam... |
