If you&#x27;ve ever visited &lt;span title=&quot;no link - they don&#x27;t need the PageRank&quot;&gt;msn.com&lt;/span&gt;, you&#x27;ll probably have a couple of cookies from them stored by your browser. Whilst perusing my stored cookies just now, I found one from there entitled “MSNADS”.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It&#x27;d be fair to assume that this is to be interpreted as “MSN ADS”, i.e. “Microsoft Network adverts”, but I feel obliged to point out that it also could (and indeed should) be interpreted as “MS NADS”, i.e. “Microsoft gonads”.

<entry><title>Hurrah for Ridiculous Quotes!</title><id>https://gkn.me.uk/weblog024</id><link href="https://gkn.me.uk/weblog024" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/><published>2004-04-23T02:12:00+00:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T02:12:00+00:00</updated><content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;
While perusing this weblog at this ridiculous hour, I happened to follow my (text) link to the April Fools&#x27; Day thread on The Twaddle Forums, whereupon (oh, yeah!) I saw this most ridiculous quote from my cousin, who likes to call himself bob:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;q&gt;so far 197 posts have been affected by the_word kangaroo&lt;/q&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
- underscore and all. I think this calls for a colon-dee :D
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And while making this post, I remembered that Britain is now on BST, so my last couple of posts may have actually been an hour earlier than they say (this one&#x27;s about right). I shan&#x27;t change them for I haven&#x27;t the arsibility.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And finally, drop by The Twaddle over the next couple of days - it&#x27;s been St.-George&#x27;sed.

<entry><title>Norwegian Beer</title><id>https://gkn.me.uk/norwegianbeer</id><link href="https://gkn.me.uk/norwegianbeer" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/><published>2003-10-19T23:08:00+00:00</published><updated>2003-10-19T23:08:00+00:00</updated><content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;
I once had a drink
&lt;br/&gt;Or should I say
&lt;br/&gt;It once had me
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I went to the pub
&lt;br/&gt;Isn&#x27;t it queer?
&lt;br/&gt;Norwegian Beer
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I purchased a drink and imbibed many more for a dare
&lt;br/&gt;Then I looked below me and noticed there wasn&#x27;t a chair
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I sat on the floor
&lt;br/&gt;Nursing my rear
&lt;br/&gt;Drinking my beer
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I stayed until two
&lt;br/&gt;Then my friends led
&lt;br/&gt;Me home to bed
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
They told me I worked in the morning and started to laugh
&lt;br/&gt;I told them I didn&#x27;t and promptly collapsed on the path
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And when I awoke
&lt;br/&gt;I was at home
&lt;br/&gt;This beer had thrown
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
So I fetched a mop
&lt;br/&gt;Isn&#x27;t it queer?
&lt;br/&gt;Norwegian Beer
