In a move seemingly unprecedented in Skype history, my mother has selflessly converted her status message to a full-time information relay provider, the Gobo Update System (GUS). This is very exciting for those of us who can’t get enough of the goon, and are constantly disappointed when he doesn’t say hi back to us on the phone (now I’m just sounding bitter). Recent updates include “Gobo is 3 today!” and “Gobo is bored.”
How can you gain access to this fantastic and gripping data stream? Well, you have to make friends with my mom, and then Skype friends with my mom. It’s a small price to ask, really. (Especially since everyone who meets my mom not only becomes friends with her, but most of my friends quickly become better friends with her than with me. Oh, there goes the bitter again!)
I’ll leave you with a photo of the man himself.
So much love, so much love in life…
This video would be better if I weren’t such a shrieker.
I’m frustrated cos I can’t find the article corresponding to the story I heard on the bbc world service podcast to-day, but it was hilarious. Apparently, the Russian army has decided to change their uniforms, but in the process, they’ve realized that a lot of their top-ranking officers are obscenely overweight. Now they’re putting them all on a diet!
Oh, well, if I lived in Russia, I’d be fat, too. It’s cold there! Speaking of fat (but don’t expect too close a connection), another funny thing is Danny Kaye.
