Having tried just about everything to get this blog more widely noticed and appreciated (jokes, bar reviews, political discussions, poetry, 'live blog' interactivity, Googlewhackable phrase-making)..... I thought it might be time to give SEX a go.I haven't seen this film yet (it doesn't seem to have appeared in the pirate DVD stalls yet.... though perhaps I just missed its brief period of ubiquity: this is what happens if you cease to be a regular shopper), but this is certainly a very striking, very amusing poster. And I've had a bit of a crush on the lovely Lena Headey since her debut (as a schoolgirl, I suppose), ever such a long time ago, in 'Waterland'. Nice to see her getting a taste of Hollywood mega-stardom at last.
[An aside: I had been convinced that she was in Alan Bleasdale's TV series 'Jake's Progress' as well, but IMDB thinks not. How could I have been so mistaken?]
Anyway, in case you hadn't realised.... THIS is post No. 300 here on the Barstool. WOW!!!

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Now, the really spooky thing about this comment is that it appeared within about 2 seconds of the post going up.
So, if it's not automated spam, the writer certainly has his spiel ready written, just waiting to 'cut & paste'. ODD.
Anybody been to check him out? I can't be bothered. Tulsa, your mission, should you choose to accept it....
Mission accepted. checked it out, though my office computer has limited Net access so couldn't comment at the time or provide you with a translated opinion.
But untranslated, his site (Portuguese??) seems for real.
so, if he is ESL, he is either EXTREMELY good or he had this written up earlier and cut and paste, as you suggested.
Shall we ask him a question?
Joshua, how did you end up here? How long have you been a visitor? How did you find the site?
Okay, so that is three questions. :)
p.s. froog, you know I've been Net-less in my meanderings this last week, so my first day back, I see this mission and accept... alas, it means I'll be tardier than expected in catching up on your new stuff! But I can't wait. You've been a busy beaver.
Froog, I'm scared. It feels like I am sat in my front room watching the ball game and the Jehovah's Witnesses have just turned up and are hammering on the door...
I imagine he cruises the 'recently updated blogs' links on the main page of Blogger - and has his 'one world, one love' bizzarro stuff ready to go.
Cowboy, you of course remember the egregious Mr Barnes. He's the only person I've met who managed to scare the JWs away in about 30 seconds flat. I can't remember how he did it now. I don't think he mentioned his "57 varieties" condom collection or exotic pornography.
However, the greatest discouragement of unwanted religious solicitation I've ever beheld came - naturally, who else? - from Bruce The Bookseller, on The Cornmarket in Oxford one lunchtime, when accosted by a pair of Krishnas trying to flog one their little 'save yourself' pamphlets. He rounded on them, with that mad Scots gleam in his eye, and said, "Actually, I'm a Christian. We burn people like you." They retreated instantly, in some dismay.
Does the U.K. have a lot of JW?
They popped over to our place frequently when I was growing up. And there was a JW Kingdom Hall across the playground from my elementary school.
Easiest way to get rid of a JW is to invite them in and tell them you used to be a JW but left. I think I am correct in saying they have to disassociate themselves from apostates...
Oh, and we need a blog name for Barnes... I am sure one will spring to mind soon.
How about Flannel Boy?
If you don't know the story, I'm not going to explain on here.
Useful tip for discouraging the JWs, Cowboy - I didn't know that interesting quirk of their intolerance. Have you had a lot of experience of doing this?
I did once apply for a teaching job down in the Falklands. I was sent a very interesting guide to life in the islands, which included contact details for representatives of all the significant religious groups down there. The contact name for the JWs was a Mr Nutter. No word of a lie!
The best way to get rid of a JW is by the Billiy Connolly method, that is, when the door is knocked/bell is rung, stand behind the door and shout very loudly:
"I'm standing behind the door and I have a very large erection... you have 30 seconds before I open the door..."
Then watch the door-knockers sprint down the street. Obviously one for the gents.
It's always so embarrassing when they call your bluff, though, Ali.
I take it you are talking about JWs only? Or are you talking about anyone who visits??? :op
