Batista needs your help!

When surfing the net the day after "The Animal" Dave Batista's departure from WWE, I came across this wildlife website which is coordinating aid for the former 'sports-entertainer' and captured a screenshot.

Lost In Translation: Twitter!

Following the example of PyroPoet, I've been putting Tweets in Portuguese through Google Translate to try to make sense of them. Hilarity insued!

These Tweets were all related to a certain Brazilian soccer star. Here are the cream of the crop:

  • Maluf opens avenue Michel Bastos. Steal a few balls, but he scores, and leaves a large estate on his back.
  • imagine taking a kick in the sack of Michel Bastos? one lump sum to 139km an hour? dude, your bag would disappear for sure
  • Every day for more old Michel Bastos Roberto Carlos. The great goal to put it confirms Zimbabwe. The best free kick.
  • Michel Bastos bangers player coincide with the last name translation into French.
  • Michel bastos firming its position by sending well! Thank goodness because I could not bear the Gilberto.
  • Julio Batista, with pass-heel, and Michel Bastos, with lack of home run, left good impression.
  • Good band player Michel Bastos. He has a great left foot shot. Footballer interesting.
  • The kick from Michel Bastos reached 139 km / h. It fucking bitch!
  • Great Michel Bastos. Shot the best player of the match!
So Michel Bastos steals balls, leaves estates on his back, makes bags disappear and shoots people.
Only three words can adequately sum that up:

"IT FUCKING BITCH!"

Retards Of Our Planet (Part 5)

Don't Trust Foreign Companies...
...is the opinion of renowned dumbass Sarah Palin in the wake of the environmental disaster in the Gulf Of La Raza.
Thankfully her husband Todd Palin is far less xenophobic, having only recently left British oil giant BP after 18 years of loyal service.
Reported here.

Evil Otters 
The Kendal and District Angling Club are in uproar due to malicious otters having the gall to eat fish in local rivers.
Otters are a protected species in England after their numbers fell to near extinction in the 1980s. One angry fisherman, Mr Tony Ryan, has proposed lifting their protected status so he can legally kill them.
Reported here.

Bunting Banned 
Carnival organisers in Ferndown, Dorset have been banned from hanging up bunting (strings of small, plastic flags) on grounds that it might cause lampposts to fall down.
Nuff said really! Reported here.

World Of Bizarre - Vorpal Bunnies and Puking Philadelphians

This story is about a month old. A secondary school teacher from Vechta, Germany has sued a 14-yr -old pupil for drawing a bunny wabbit on the classroom blackboard. The reason? The teacher has a phobia of bunny wabbits and was traumatised! Sounds hare-raising (sorry). Reported here.


Also in the news (thanks Telegraph!), a baseball fan from Philadelphia PA, USA, has pleaded guilty to deliberately vomiting on an off-duty police officer and his daughter in retaliation for the rozzer getting his drunken, foul-mouthed buddy thrown out of the Philadelphia Phillies (shyte name) game. This story makes me sick (sorry). Reported here.
Ironic that this occurred in the City of Brotherly Love, no? But then again, judging by the fans of ECW, Philadelphia appears to be home to some seriously obnoxious turd-brains. Luckily they have Brian Heffron to balance things out!

World Of Bizarre - You're dicked...er...nicked!

As reported in the Northern Echo and the Middlesbrough Evening Gazette, officers of the North Yorkshire Police were dispatched to a shop in Leeming Bar to confiscate a sandstone penis measuring in at 48 inches (and for once, ladies, that's not an exaggeration).


Jason Hadlow, owner of the Simply Dutch curio shop (and chairman of Yarm Town Council), had the giant geological Johnson imported from Indonesia and erected it (tee hee!) in his shop window.

He was perplexed when members (tee hee!) of the constabulary came to confiscate the collossal cock following complaints from the public that the menacing manhood was "obscene".

Mr Hadlow has been levied an £80 fine over the dong dispute but feels the furore is ridickulous (tee hee!) and has begun a Facebook campaign entitled "Free Willy" to protest against the perceived pecker prejudice.

He is also importing 150 more 4-foot phalluses, 10 of which have already been sold for £200 each. (Making mine worth approximately £30. If it was made of stone.)

In case anyone is wondering why Jakarta has a manufacturing industry devoted to rocky ramrods, it is apparently because Indonesians touch them for good luck. Insert joke here. (insert... heh heh heh!)

Alimony is running wild, brutha!

Fresh from his recent experience of tapping out to a divorce court, Hulk Hogan (known to attorneys as Terrence Gene Bollea) has released a brand new item of merchandise in an attempt to raise some much-needed funds.

Hogan gave us Surielism the following statement: "Lemme tell ya something brutha, sometimes a brutha's gotta do what a brutha's gotta do, especially when his ex-wife is carrying all his money away on her barn-door back, brutha! TNA's money isn't gonna last forever brutha, especially at the rate me and my bruthas are pocketing it! So help a brutha out and buy a shirt, whaddya say brutha?"

Insiders are predicting Hogan vs Linda in a "Divorceamania Rules" match at a future TNA event (the winner gets to shag the best friend of one of their teenage children, the loser gets to shag the best friend of the other of their teenage children).

"My Immortal" reviewed!! Greatest Harry Potter ripoff EVER!!

WARNING: SUM OF DIS CHAPTA IS XTREMLY SCRAY. VIOWER EXCRETION ADVISD (sic!)

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!"(sic) - Dumbledore

As detailed in this post, on 26 April I discovered the wondrous existence of "fan-fiction". This phenomenon seems to consist of crazed teenagers (I know, whodathunkit?) composing literary disasterpieces based on...well...anything, but usually cartoons, pro-wrestling, films and actual books.

Books like the Harry Potter series...

On 5 May 2010, I discovered My Immortal, the magnum opus of an author known only as Tara Gilesbie (30,800 hits on Google. I'm serious!).

My Immortal was placed on a popular fanfic website and received +10,000 reviews before being taken down because JK ROWLING THREATENED TO SUE!!!
If that's not a recommendation, nothing is!


It is kept alive here (contains MUCH strong language and extremely pathetic descriptions of sex) by Kthnxbai (who has my respect and gratitude for his/her commitment to preservation of culture).

The saga is not simply a Harry Potter fanfic. It actually has virtually nothing to do with Harry Potter, despite being set in Hogwarts and featuring numerous HP characters.

My Immortal
is quite absolutely the most moronically written, fantastically nonsensical, ludicrously over-the-top, insanely misspelled, lunatic bullshit ever written in the history of humanity.

Consequently, it REEKS OF AWESOMENESS!!!

The story centres (in the most extreme sense of the word) on Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, best known as Enoby (sic). Enoby is a 17 year-old goff (sic). She is also a vampire, an emo, a self-harmer, a Satanist and a witch. Her favourite spells are Abra Kedabara (sic) and Crookshanks (sic). She cries tears of blood. She sleeps in a coffin. She has a fetish for gay men.

So of course she attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to be with other young personages like herself.

I'm actually serious...! This version of Hogwarts is populated almost entirely by youngsters who are also simultaneously goffs, vampires, emos, self-harmers and Satanists who get off on watching young men have sex with each other. And these are the good guys!

The exceptions are House Grifindoor (sic), who are preppy posers and don't know the lyrics to Good Charlotte songs. I have no idea what that actually means, but it doesn't matter because the only Grifindoor mentioned is a girl called Britney (apparently the author's real-life nemesis). She is BAD. Well... she's blonde, anyway. And a clueless, preppy poser!

Plot?
Everything revolves around the main character Tara Gilesbie....er....Enoby.

No effort is spared in making sure we know the precise details of Enoby's outfit (which changes frequently, albeit not greatly).
All the good guys dress in exactly the same style. Because they're all goffs. Yeah.
They also listen to goff music. Like My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Linkin Park and Marilyn Manson. Yeah.
As alluded to, clueless posers are roundly condemned in this story. Yeah.

Aside from this, things are a little sketchy.

Enoby goes to heavy metal goff concerts in Hogsmeade, smokes "cigarettes and drugs", cuts her wrists, reads "sad books", obsesses about how unfortunate she is to be so incredibly beautiful, is rude to preppy posers, swears a LOT, goes back in time and also has sex with virtually everyone who is up for it with her. Naturally, everyone is.

There are also strange subplots involving suicide, heavy metal GOFF concerts, preppy posers, murder, rape, incest, interior design, fashion (goff, natch) and even an orgy.

In addition, there are many, many, many Out Of Character (OOC) comments from Tara aimed at the numerous detractors her story had. There is even an instance of an addition being made by a hacker (which Tara left in the story, perhaps because it greatly improved the prose for a chapter)

As you've doubtless ascertained, we're not in Kansas any more. These are the supporting characters who feature in My Immortal:

Draco (aka Darko/Drace) - black hair, red eyes, bisexual, goff. Paranoid. Pussy. Cries constantly. Commits suicide at one point (and comes back to life). Drives a flying Mercedes Benz with a 666 license plate. Actually that's kinda kewl... He is in a permanent love triangle with Enoby and...

Harry Vampire Potter (aka Vampir/Vrompire) - black hair, red eyes, bisexual, goff with "manly stubble"! Has a pentagram-shaped scar. Cries constantly. Is a Slytherin. (And yeah, he's a vampire. But so is virtually everyone)

Albert Dumbledore (aka Dumblydor/Dumbledork/Dumblydum) - angry teacher (see quote at top of page). Wears a robe bearing the motif "Avril Lavigne". Preppy poser. Paints the Great Hall pink. Then paints it black to prove how emo he is (because he's a preppy poser).

Professor McGoggle - angry teacher, fond of getting irate at students who have sex in front of her. Inconsiderate bitch.

Snap (aka Snoop/Snipe/Snake) - Christian teacher. Former rocker who was kicked out of his band for being a preppy poser. Also a child-molester. And, not forgetting, a homosexual! He likes to get his thang on with...

Loopin (aka Lumpkin) - Snap's boyfriend. Also a child-molester and voyeur. Both Loopin and Snap get sent to Azerbaijan for this. Then they come back.

Vlodemot (aka Voldemort/Voldemint/Volxemort/the Bark Lord) - Villain who wants to kill Draco (motive unexplained). What is known is that he reads people's minds via telekinesis. Oh, and he was once a rocker before he became outed as a preppy poser.

Tom Marvolo Riddle Satan Bombodil - Vlodemot, as he was in the 1980s. A sexy goff teenager. Enoby goes back in time to have sex with him. Please don't ask how/why.

Snaketail - 16 yr-old Vlodemot lackie who tortures Draco and promptly begs Enoby for sex.

Professor Sinister (aka Professor Sinatra) - half-Japanese goff teacher who becomes a drug addict (I think). Naturally she's one of the heroes.

Professor Trevolry - I was very confused here. According to others, Trevolry is interchangeable with Sinister/Sinatra (see above). Difficult to tell.

Hermione B'loody Mary Smith - vampire, goff, Satanist, you know the deal by now. Which is why Hermione changed her name and became a Slytherin. She speaks Japanese. Sometimes. Badly.

Hargid (aka Hairgrid) - student in House Slytherin (because he's a Satanist, etc.) Also a sex-pest.

Mr Norris - school janitor, has a cat named Filth

Ron Diabolo Wesley - black hair, red eyes, yadayadayada, member of Slytherin. Became this way because his vampire father Mr Wesley sexually abused him and his siblings and committed suicide.

Jenny Wesley (aka Darkness)- Diabolo Wesley's sister. See above, story the same.

Crab Wesley and Goyle Wesley - twin brothers of Diabolo and Jenny/Darkness Wesley.

Nevel (aka Dracula) - His parents (vampire, natch) were killed in a car-crash, leading him to become black haired Satanic Slytherin, et al.

Cornelia Fuck - Mystery of Magic. Yes, you read that correctly. And it's a "he".

Doris Rumbridge - banishes Professor Sinister to Azerbaijan. For being a goff.

Serious Blak (aka Spartacus/Severus/Serifs) - Vampire Potter's goff dogfather. Yes, dogfather. Part of the goff band which abolished Snap for being a preppy poser.

James Somaro Potter - Vampire Potter's father. Part of goff band w/Serious & Snap. Is named for the ghost in The Ring. Yeah.

Lucian (aka Lucan) - Also part of above band. Possibly Draco's father. Had his arm shot clean off by Somaro Potter (they remained friends).

Hedwig - Vlodemot's ex-boyfriend. Yeah.

Dobby - Voyeur, enjoys watching Snap and Loopin shag.

At this point you might be thinking that Ms Tara Gilesbie could do with rereading the books. Actually, she freely admitted in OOC comments that she'd never read them at all!

She'd watched a couple of the films and the rest of the information came from her friend Raven, who also proof-read for her. After the first several chapters the two had a bad falling out which led to the author having no accurate information and no-one to spellcheck. Raven came back on board eventually, but the relationship was obviously rocky. Tara's OOC comments (and transparently-insincere apology for stealing a poster from her) prove that.

The mind-numbing (albeit hilarious) godawfulness of My Immortal has led many readers to question if the "story" is the work of a troll, deliberately subverting the fan-fiction genre.

My pet theory is that post-argument, Raven fed Tara false information regarding characters and spelling, leading to standards declining from dire to earth-shatteringly abysmal. It is worth noting that a number of fanfic authors have tried parodying My Immortal and none have come anywhere close.

If you doubt the fame of My Immortal, just Google it. Hell, it's seen numerous readings and several animated adaptations on YouTube!

For example: My Immortal-The Movie parts 1, 2 and 3.

And to conclude, some choice quotes from the epic:

“STOP IT NOW YOU HORNY SIMPLETONS!” - Professor McGoggle
“I hath telekinesis.” - Vlodemot
“You look fucking kawaii, bitch.” - B'loody Mary
“BUT I AM ALSO A SATANIST!” - Hargid
“THE BARK LORD IS PLANNING TO KILL THE STUDENTS!” - Cornelia Fuck
“I want to shit next to her!” - Draco
“Okay you can go now, see ya cunt.” - Professor Sinister
“If u don’t then I’ll rap Draco!” - Snap
“Did u know dat Marylin Mason is playing in Hogsemade tonight?" - Tom Satan Bombodil
“OMFS, letz have a groop kutting session!” - Professor Trevolry
“You fucking preppy fags!” - Serious Blak
“ABRA KEDABRA!!!!!!!!!!!11111” - Enoby
“OMFG u guyz r so scary!11” - Britney

Tara, you are a bonafide internet legend and one of my heroes!
Thanks for the lulz!

ENOBY LIVES!

The Iron Sheik will make you HUMBLE!


To humble (third-person singular simple present "humbles", present participle "humbling", simple past and past participle "humbled")

1. To bring low; to reduce the power, independence, or exaltation of; to lower; to abase; to humiliate.
Here, take this purse, thou whom the heaven's plagues have humbled to all strokes. -Shak.
The genius which humbled six marshals of France. -Macaulay.

2. To make humble or lowly in mind; to abase the pride or arrogance of; to reduce the self-sufficiency of; to make meek and submissive; -- often used reflexively.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you.
1 Pet. v. 6.

3.
To cripple and anally violate.
Suplex him, put him in the Camel Clutch, break his back and then fuck his ass to make him HUMBLE!
-Iron Sheik


The Iron Sheik (Khosrow Hossein Vaziri) was once one of professional wrestling's great villains - a twirly-mustached, twirly-booted beast intent on destroying America in the name of the Ayatollah! But that was then.

Nowadays he is an internationally-beloved fan favourite, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics, Harvard professor and role-model for young children. This amazing transformation has been carried out via a unique and curious modus operandae: issuing threats of sodomy.

The legendary "Iron Sheik Goes Nuts" video (OVER 18s ONLY!) has received (at current time) nearly 1 million views on YouTube and has been invaluable in portraying the Iron Sheik's commitment to law, order and respect as well as his strong belief in the merits of countering egotism with anal rape.

In addition, Sheiky (as he is known to his friends) has issued similar overtures of buggery to such diverse personages as Michael Richards (Kramer, you broke my fucking heart! I'm gonna fuck your ass to make you humble!) and Terrence "Hulk Hogan" Bollea (I should have fucked his ass!).

As we shall see, the Iron Sheik has not limited his non-consensual (yet diplomatic) butt-banditry to such miscreants as these. Examine these quotes if ya will!

BBC News: Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson said he was "incredibly humbled" after being made a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
(editor's note: this was to punish him for having Elves at Helm's Deep)


ESPN: Jimmy Clausen seemed humble after his first NFL workout. It was a trait often missing during a career that started as a high school phenom in California and continued when he went 16-18 as a three-year starter with the Fighting Irish.
(editor's note: I bet Sheiky gave him a workout to remember!)

The Guardian: Barack Obama 'surprised' and 'humbled' by Nobel peace prize.
(editor's note: Iron Sheik musta used it as a dildo)

Daily Mail: Magpies humbled as fans jeer 'hated' Ashley and call for Shearer to return.
(editor's note: even birds are not safe)

MTV: Lady Gaga 'Humbled' By Madonna Coming To Her Show.

(editor's note: Madonna humbled her? Damn. If I'd known Sheiky was contracting out humblings then I would have volunteered. At least for this job!)

Irish Times:
Ireland humbled by blinkered hubris, says President.
(editor's note: holy shit! He did it to an entire country!)

Let this be a salutary lesson.
If the Iron Sheik can do it to them, why then he can do it to YOU!

Unintentionally Hilarious Wrestling Fanfiction Part 1

I found this fanfiction website (fanfiction.net) accidentally whilst googling a minor Hart family member. Fanfiction is new to me. I was instantly horrified/intrigued by the premise that internet writers would create their own (usually bizaare) stories featuring actual professional wrestlers in odd (frequently sexual) situations.

Here are brief plotline reviews of some unintentionally hilarious ones.
Links provided to the full stories, but
be warned! Some of the written material on the site is sexually explicit and potentially offensive. If in doubt, don't visit the site. I've suffered for your sins by reading this crap, you don't have to suffer yourself. (Wow, I feel like such a Messiah now!)

Til A Death Do Us Part - Batista and Rey Misterio Jr (I refuse to use WWE's spelling) are gay lovers. Batista is extremely protective of his territory (Rey-Rey's Mexican ass) and is revealed to have
murdered Randy Orton to prevent him stealing the diminutive luchador's convivial cornhole. Presumably he then walked a mile inside Oscar's Pit Of Danger.

Life Is Good - Triple H ruminates on his 16-year romance with Shawn Michaels. Not hugely comedic, but I laughed for ages after misreading a passage as "
To see his sparkling blue eyes when he woke up in the morning, to hear his laugh whenever he pissed in the hallway"... Immaturity FTW! But let's face it, their Clique buddy Sean Waltman probably pisses in the hallway and shits on the ceiling every morning, so you can understand my error.

Mickie James Tribute (poem/song) - the lyrics are actually better than 99% of WWE's theme music, but does Mickie James really deserve heartfelt tributes? (WrestleCrap actually did a special radio show for Blade Braxton to cry about her) She aint dead! She's just Future Endeavoured! Ahhh, I never liked her much anyway, and was quite put off by the pics of her sticking her fingers up her meaty you-know-what.

Hero By Night - Description: "
By day, he is Mark Calaway, simple mechanic. But by night, he becomes the supernatural vigilante known to the world as the Undertaker. Now, he faces an enemy who has a sinister plan to destroy him, and take his city with him."
Too bad that currently there is only a cast-list, because this sounds freakin' awesome! How can you possibly beat a supernatural mechanic taking on Boogeyman, Gangrel, Daffney, Mordecai and PAPA SHANGO??!! I would pay to see this concept made into a film!!!
Having said that, is the author the only fan in the world NOT to know about Michelle McKoolaid? And Mideon being already dead just plain sucks.

Maryse Meets the Deadman - Maryse is sick of violently possessive Randy Orton (who seems to be a fanfic favourite) so she shags Undertaker (Michelle McKoolaid is NOT a fanfic favourite).
What made me chuckle was the mental image of the Undertaker in BOXER SHORTS! That and the fact that after the Man From The Darkside was thru with the French Canadian Beauty Queen they "
licked up all the juices that was there"! Badly Written Zombie Porn FTW! I was less impressed by the inaccuracy of description when it came to Maryse's breasts (and I have enjoyed enjoying her Playboy pics, so I know my shit). "Perky"? Agreed, they are perky (silicone represent yo!). But "Huge"...? Nahhh, kiddo, those aren't huge. Trust me. I've had sex at least... hmmmm.... well, more times than you!!

Stolen Love - All is not well in the Land of Raw! Undertaker and Kane lead the peasants in resistance (sadly without the aid of Sly, Con-man & Boner Boy) against the evil Prince Kurt! Undertaker's daughter Maria has been kidnapped to become the sex-slave of Arch-Duke Randy Orton! Lita gets raped by Kurt Angle! I'm not making any of this up!!!

Mating Season - Jeff Hardy is a GAY WEREWOLF!!! What is more, he wants to rape, murder and eat his own brother Matt along with Matt's gay boyfriend Adam Copeland! "The Hardy Show" just got taken to the EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME! (on a serious note, this story contains graphic descriptions of sex, don't visit unless you are over 18 and really want to)

Why is there so much male homosexuality in these things?
I want to read stories about comely lesbian Divas botching foreplay and breaking their clavicles whilst attempting the 69!
I guess I'll have to keep reading. And updating my blog with what I find!

Who should YOU vote for in the UK General Election?

This flow chart (created by Benito Vasselini at b3ta.com) should help you, the British electorate, decide who to vote for in the forthcoming general election! If you're not British... uh... feel free to ignore this bit!

One final point on the LibDems: they will NOT force the United Kingdom to join the single European currency. They WILL give us, the people, the opportunity to vote in a referendum as to whether WE want to join it. As opposed to the Conservatives and Labour who will jackboot right over us.

Btw, do check out Benito's page (link at top of post). He has some pretty funny photoshops including "Brokeback Mountain" PS2 video game!

Return of the Spack!

Return of the Spack indeed!


Devouring matchsticks and wearing a jockstrap in lieu of a hat is quite the 'in thing' this season, darling!



Anybody remember Mark Morrison, aka "The Mack"? Let’s start with his nickname. "The Mack"...? Did he imagine he was a raincoat? Perhaps he should have dubbed himself "The Cagoule" or maybe gone the whole hog and used the name "The Rohan Anorak With Gore-Tex Lining And Extra Pockets". Whichever way you look at it, he sounds like a trainspotter.

I never understood how he managed to attain the "bad-boy image" that he (supposedly) had. What did he do that was so bad/badd? (mofo!) I guess he was a bit of a twat, but if that was a hanging offence then the United Kingdom would have a population of about 512. And I'd have been long since dispatched.

I vaguely recall "Return Of The Mack" being released. (Was he taking it back to M&S to swap it for one in day-glo pink?) What puzzled me mightily was how somebody could be making a supposedly Big Return when, to the best of my knowledge, he'd never done a damn thing in the first place!

Perhaps this is my opportunity for fame and fortune, although Morrison seems to have achieved little of either.I could turn up at "Top Of The Pops" with a bunch of towering posse members (i.e. bodyguards hired to make me look cool), a fur coat (fuck PETA, this is my career we’re talking about) and omnipresent sunglasses (works for Edgar Davids) and say "Wagwan, I iz makin my Big Return innit, now give me a recordin contract befo I bust a cap in yo ass honky, I iz a BAD/BADD BOY (mofo!) and woz well famous befo, innit. If yu aint eard ov me it is becoz yu iz too white, innit."

TOTP would instantly cave in, put me on stage, Simon Fuller would give me shitloads of money and the world would be my lobster, Terry my son!

At least that is what could have happened if TOTP hadn't hired Fearne Cotton/Britton/whicheverthefuck, lost its audience and been cancelled. This is a lesson Radio One should heed. But that is a rant for another day.


Nothing says "g-d up from the feet up" like a raincoat!

Macho Madness!

An exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see photos from 2008 of me impersonating wrestling legend Macho Man Randy Savage! DIG IT! (If you've never heard of him then Google him, bah God! I can do his voice SO good, I swear!)

I should mention that I have since shaved off the beard and the hair. Medical professionals were required to remove the bandana and I'm not sure the sunglasses ever came off at all. Why is it so dark in here?


Now let me tell you something Hulk Hogan, uhhhh HUH....I can be a gentleman if you leave me alone......
But if you mess with me, you're in the DANGER ZONE!


OOOOOOHHHH YEAHHHHH!!! DIG IT!!!!

Oooooohhh yeahhh indeed!
MAN? Check! MACHO? Check! SAVAGE? Clearly! RANDY??? Absolutely ladies! Form an orderly queue!
(what girl doesn't get moist for insane Englishmen who impersonate 1980s pro wrestlers? Hey, I toldja! I've shaved off the beard and the hair!)

Heinz vs Co-Op: Salad Cream Showdown!

Heinz salad cream versus Co-Operative salad cream. Showdown Of The Century! And it is taking place right now. (IN THAT VERY RING! BAHHH GOD!)

Okay, so basically I have 12 chips (American eq. = French fries) on my plate and two bottles of salad cream made by rival companies, Heinz and the Co-Op. FYI, the Co-Op stuff has recently replaced the Somerfield own-brand version on the shelves of my local supermarket, due to the recent takeover. Has it been an improvement? We shall find out. First some knowledge to impart:

Salad cream is basically the lowbrow equivalent of mayonaisse. It is an unsophisticated condiment which is not possessed of a foreign name and can helpfully disguise careless burning of food. Yet the fact that its name contains the word "salad" enables to commoners who devour it to feel somewhat upwardly mobile.

I should explain here that I am mixed-class (a bit like being mixed-race but without the benefit of offending Nazis). My mother's family - middle class. My father's family - working class. Therefore I am entitled to eat both mayonaisse and salad cream. I am also entitled to pronounce words correctly and degenerate into frequent fits of swearing.

I shall be judging the competitors via the following rationale:
  1. Cost
  2. Ease Of Being Squeezed Out Of Bottle
  3. Colour
  4. Appearance
  5. Taste
1: Cost
As you might have guessed, the Heinz one is more expensive. It's a brand name so they can get away with charging more for it. The First Rule Of Business is "charge the highest price the market can stand". The Second Rule Of Business is "always fuck the secretary if she weighs less than you", but that's hardly relevant to salad cream. I should mention here that Co-Op Salad Cream is slightly more expensive than the Somerfield product it replaced.
Victor: Co-Op

2: Ease Of Being Squeezed Out Of Bottle
An essential feature, as I'm sure you'll agree. I've sat through dinners in which the only joy to be derived was from squeezing the ketchup bottle whilst it made sounds reminiscent of a dysentry-afflicted bullfrog. The Ease Of Squeeze was in fact identical, but I had much fun testing this.
Victor: n/a (Draw)


3: Colour
The Heinz product exhibits a gentle, mildly yellow tinge to compliment it's creamy hue. Salad cream being the colour of cream (albeit a peroxide variety)? Whodathunkit?
But what is this?!?!
The Co-Op one is approximately equivalent in tone to Builder's Magnolia paint (the favourite of cheapskate landlords - i.e. ALL landlords). This is not good. I am afflicted by that bastard colour whenever I look at my walls. Or the walls of anyone else who rents accomodation. I don't want to see it on my goddamn plate. Co-Op - you FLUNKED the Dulux test!
Victor: Heinz

4: Appearance
Heinz product: looks smooth and creamy (sorry, I realise I am grossly overusing this word). In other words, it looks like you'd expect it to look. And that is a good thing. Surprises are rarely pleasant and especially not when it comes to condiments.
Co-Op product: It looks like wallpaper paste, turgid and gloopy (new words FTW!). This is the kind of thing that washes up on beaches in large quantities, clinging to the corpses of birds, fish, whales and drunken tourists who tried to swim through it. And it STILL appears to be the same colour as my walls.
Victor: Heinz

5: Taste
Ahhh, now I can finally dip my chips in it and savour the delights of an edible substance designed to make my food taste like something completely different.
The Heinz version tastes like salad cream. It just does! Imagine a sweet vinegary, creamy flavour with the consistancy of jizz. (or so I'd imagine. I wish to state at this point that NEVER has ANY jizz entered my mouth. Or any other part of my body.) Odd that such a revolting concept could taste so good when combined with strips of fried potato.
The Co-Op version however tastes FUCKING VILE! Holy guacamole! I've just remembered why I have TWO bottles of salad cream! The Heinz one was to replace the reprehensibly appalling Co-Op shit. Now one of my chips has been wasted as I've spat it over the floor. This does NOT taste like salad cream, it tastes like evil, rancid, congealed goat-milk-mixed-with-piss. I'm throwing it in the bin whilst trying not to throw up.
Victor: Heinz (its competition nearly made me barf, so an easy win there)

The Winner Of The 'Greatest Salad Cream In My Fridge' Trophy: HEINZ!!!!!
The Co-Operative salad cream has now been binned and will never be purchased again.
