This is something I ‘don’t get’, right? Some bit of pop culture that I’m unaware of? I’m clearly not up to speed on Head Dildo Klansman Fox…
4 piece fox costume set on Amazon, that looks like a terrifying fever dream.

All things considered, none of the ACTUAL Exorcist rip offs are better than ‘The Heretic’, whereas my hill that I’ll die on is that Alberto De Martino’s ‘Holocaust 2000’ is infinitely more entertaining than ‘Damien - Omen 2’. And possibly also ‘The Omen’. But it needs a Patrick Troughton in it.

Having just rewatched it for the first time in 30 odd years, I now take back almost everything I said about The Heretic earlier. It’s way more awful than I remembered. I sort of recalled it being constantly punctuated by good bits. They’re far fewer than I thought.

One day it's going to be West Ham being investigated by the Premier League, and everyone will see how we're run. Laid bare. How income is being inflated via a complex system of hidden payments for VHS tapes, tea towels and coat hangers via offshore Sunday markets, and car boot sales.

Before I left, I meant to write down what my finishing schedule had been for the Basset set that I'm halfway through. I forgot. And now I've forgotten what I've done. Halfway through. Was there a wipe of Perfect Brown? Or was it Raw Umber? Two coats of walnut? Or just one? Fuck my brain.

Oh god. I hope they're not intending on reporting on everything he's surprised by... "...after being told moon NOT made of cheese" "...after being told Jaws could NOT beat King Kong in a fight" "...after being told that steak comes from cows, and there is no animal called 'a steak'..."

I'm sick of working for a living. So, I've decided to become a right wing grifter. Already got my name sorted. Len Wozza. Going by other examples it has to be a mix of 'could have been a panel beater at a factory' and 'someone who sticks fireworks up their arse'.

Apparently Seth MacFarlane has released at least 8 albums.

I’ve gone in on ‘Boorman and the Devil’. I have plenty of time for quite a bit of Exorcist: The Heretic. Some of it is also far from great. Boorman is never dull. Never. I have plenty of time for John Boorman.

I should have screenshotted this at the peak of its tit bot activity when it was just an endless scroll of them, but today has been busy too. Boring oak table being sanded weeks ago? It’s bringing all the robotic bosomy ladies to my yard…
Sandpaper on a table in an image on an insta post.Tit bots galore ‘liking’ it. Well, 4. But that was just this morning. Then all the same names will rock up again tomorrow with different pics. Such fun. When is Zuck getting around to fixing this?

Right, while I’m waiting for glaze to go off, an update on mental Americans. The odd as cheese people from over the road got their driveway sealed. But insisted that they did the pavement bit too. So there’s a long Groucho Marx moustache type line running to the road.
