seven months pass...

i used to live kind of opposite the boathouses. in the middle of winter the rowers would be out there in the fog, with torches, preparing for the boatrace. burning down boathouses is lame.

It said: "We are stronger than you, we have more resolve than you and we never give up.

"If we have to destroy every bit of property you own we will, in order to stop you inflicting your profit-driven cruelties on defenceless creatures.

haha they didn't know all the properties are insured?

and this one!!!!
It warned the company: "We have identified and tracked down many of your senior executives and also junior staff, as well as those from other HLS customers.

"Drop HLS or you will face the consequences. For all the animals inside HLS, we will be back."

if you believe that testing things on animals is a most evil thing, then surely by that logic, you'll know that a company that would test things on animals WON'T GIVE A SHIT if a couple of their staff get injured and killed (a lesser evil obviously)

they really ought to disappear in a puff of logic

People have finally been arrested for nicking the corpse of an elderly woman related to a guinea pig farm owner, a year ago. The decaying OAP has never been found.

That'll stop them testing those row-boats on animals any more!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 09:59 (eighteen years ago) link

hahaha it was foggy, i wasn't to know those boats were CREWED BY MOLES.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 10:05 (eighteen years ago) link

nicking corpses is one thing, but surely it's perfectly acceptable to destroy boathouses and incidentally deprive all the moronic lugs that stagger round oxbridge of their one pseudo-legitimising pursuit.

now i was never a rower nor a friend to rowers, but i dunno if they really were morons, in the grand scheme of things.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 11:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got several friends who were rowers and they were all pretty damn smart and awesome.

POOR DEFENCELESS BUILDINGS

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 12:33 (eighteen years ago) link

i've got several friends who are rowers and they're most certainly morons. they're the type to try and vivisect an animal rights protestor after 12 pints of snakebite and black down the fulham road slug n lettuce.

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I think that's possibly because they suck, not because they're rowers.

― The Ghost of Trying Hard Not To H-Bomb (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

they can probably do better maths than i can. being from oxford. or spell better. or both.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:32 (eighteen years ago) link

whilst they do quite possibly suck as individuals, having been surrounded by rowers for 3 years at college i would suggest that, as a group, they conform to their stereotype of moronic, boorish, posh lad suckers.

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:34 (eighteen years ago) link

You're hanging out with a bunch of internet dorks, what does that say about you?

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:36 (eighteen years ago) link

whammy!

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i love the word dork. so onomatopoeic.

― barbarian cities (jaybob3005), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

i dork, therefore i spam

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 13:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm pork therefore i'm spam?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

why were you surrounded by rowers barbarian??

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

The watusi!

(haha that made no sense)

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 14:28 (eighteen years ago) link

cos i went to a uni that bred them like rabbits

my brother was a rower. he's now a neurosurgeon.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

most animal rights activists are insane twats

― gear (gear), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

True.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

was a rower for a few months at school, but couldn't hack that schedule with being an engineering student

most animal rights activists are insane twats

yup. Do these guys tend to be communications majors? or School of Natural Resources burn-out types?

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

and it's fucking retarded to do all that shit. i'd like to see more humane treatment of animals, sure, but this only hurts the cause. which makes me think it's just a bunch of bored assholes who are looking for an excuse to fuck shit up.

― gear (gear), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck off, you guys, MOST animal rights activists don't blow shit up and are not insane twats.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

my brother is an ex-rower neurosurgeon who doesn't blow insane twats up.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't think he's much of an animal rights activist but his dog is very very cute and well cared-for.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:26 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) LOOK OUT, SANE TWATS

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:27 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't like to refer to my sister-in-law in that way, dan.

Bouncing here & there & everywhere?

five months pass...

At the time of writing, There are animal rights protestors outside my office, screaming "Stop the Oxford Animal Lab". They are here because an injunction was issued by the High Court preventing them from using megaphones, etc. in the vicinity of the building site, so they've come to the Departments of Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics and Particle Physics.

There's a bloke with a megaphone doing call and response like Snoop Dogg. He says, "Stop the Oxford Animal Lab", and the women (the others are all women) respond, "Stop the Oxford Animal Lab". Sometimes he says, "stop the Oxford torture lab" to mix things up. He recommends we visit their website.

... minutes later ...

A thunderstorm has broken, so they've gone. They walked right past my window, and a woman with a megaphone told me "that I should get of my fat arse and do some real science", then said that I am complicit in this lab because I am an employee of the University. I suppose she's right (on both counts).

Would anyone object if I said that I hated them?

― Mike W (caek), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't they know Shrodingers Cat is a thought experiment? etc. lol, etc.

― Mike W (caek), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:59 (eighteen years ago) link

we're here! we're queer! we don't want anymore bears!

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Didn't some research students hang banners out of the windows of the Chemistry Research Lab building (next to the building site) recently, saying "we boil monkey cocks" or something, as a joke? They got into a bit of trouble for it, I gather.

― C J (C J), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

REAL SCIENCE

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:52 (eighteen years ago) link

The funny thing is, here in theoretical physics, there are some people doing some pretty weird stuff that isn't considered REAL SCIENCE by some of their colleagues. Not me though. I am 4 REAL.

― Mike W (caek), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Maybe then you can tell me the effects that DARK MATTER will have on my soup in the microwave?

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:36 (eighteen years ago) link

It won't MATTER!

― Mike W (caek), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Phew. I don't want any expanding multiverses in my parsnip soup. That would be bad.

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:43 (eighteen years ago) link

but would it expand in a boiling pot of water with a live lobster in it?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:46 (eighteen years ago) link

That would be cruel.

Also, it wouldn't work with a hairy lobster because the fillaments would diffuse the heat into other curled-up dimensions.

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Lobster's filaments = four dimensional manifestation of eleven-dimensional superstrings.

― Mike W (caek), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Better than M-Theory... Mike-Theory - physics you can eat!
