D&D
Enter a universe where women have beards and muscular men go on killing sprees all in search of one sought-after ring. Hmmm...sounds a bit like Freakcity actually.

Heinlein
Robert Anton Heinlein was one of Science Fiction’s grand masters. He wrote, amongst other things, Starship Troopers (although it bears very little in common with the film) and The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, which is currently being developed for television by Tim Minear. Fanfuckingtastic work. My favourite being “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls”, but his most famous probably being “Stranger in a Strange Land”. Which gave birth to the concept of Grok

gays, filthy
""Homosexuals can’t swim, they attract enemy radar, they attract sharks, they nudge people when they’re trying to shoot, they always insist on sitting at “The Captain’s Table”... they *muck about*. Imagine... the fear... when you go to sleep with a gay man on board and think “Oh God, when I wake up, will everyone be dead?” You can’t run a ship like that.""

breathing
The fine art of respiration. Which many people can do :0) Its a great social activity and fun for all the familly. although many a time people are sure to ask that the mother-in-law would just stop doing it.
Breathing is also a particularly bad habit that many 12-26 year old blonde women from essex seem to have picked up. If only there was a slightly less dramatic way of ending their miserable existance then to watch the mass sucide as you tell the westlife have split up or applying arsnic to all gold hoop earings imported to the UK.

The List
The list has been around for a good number of years now — set up as the Mark Thomas Mailing List, he’s close to our heart but not the only thing The List is about. Comprising some 100 odd chatty left wing types, it’s a great place to meet people and discuss what’s going on. Also I don’t think there’s ever been a question asked of it that The List’s collective mind hasn’t been able to answer.
