The Current Events Club is born!

Hey there current event enthusiasts!

It's Jones, Brian Jones here, chair of the new Delavigne Corp Current Events Club!

This time we're going to get topical on you... Perhaps you've heard members of the Delavigne Corporation hold a mass debate about the new internet laws, or perhaps you're just passing through our blog, but this is where we want to hear your views on current events!

So then, what do you think of the internet anti-piracy laws? Are they a good thing? Are they stupid? Will they threaten our liberties? Will they stop us from sailing the seven seas, stealing treasure and holding fair maidens to ransom?


Let's hear your views, people. Don't delay, post today!

Folding paper!



Have been busy this morning trying to fold a piece of paper more than 12 times! Icarus tells me it can't be done, that it's mathematically impossible or something, but I disagree. I am a master of manipulating paper and I will succeed!

Let me know!

I hope you're more successful than my first effort! --------------------------------->

Funky Friday Feedback: Alien Nation

Greetings fellow Terrestrians, it is I, Bruno Delavigne, your fearless leader and resident of planet earth. Today is a sad day on our planet, as one of our favorite aliens, the King of Pop, a frequent walker of the moon, has departed for another world. Perhaps he has returned to his own planet to reunite with his beloved chimpanzee Bubbles. Perhaps he is going to the big Neverland Ranch in the sky. In any case, Michael's death doesn't change the fact that today is Funky Friday (the 37th), and we require feedback on your choices, so let us know the dilly-o earthlings: what did you vote for and why... and don't forget to tell me your favorite Michael Jackson memory on the way!

Why has Todd come to Earth?
Remember, this is YOUR choice: no answer is right; no answer is wrong; no answer is too funky!
To find the funniest joke on Earth.
To spend a nice summer in California.
To have his spaceship cleaned.
To learn how to rap.





Oh, and just for old time's sake...

Who's your daddy...and what does he do?

In this country, on the third Sunday of June after the first great rain of the second monsoon of the eighth flood of the sixteenth earthquake, is a day they call Father's Day. According to the Wikipidia demon, 'Father's Day is a day honoring fathers'.

I do not wish to tell you about my father, because it is a sensitive subject, and unless I am sufficiently drunk, I refuse to talk about it. However, now is the time to tell me about your father, and your memories of the man who impregnated your mother with his man seed. Please, talk to Horatio. He wants to hear your tender souvenirs because they help me kill time before American Idol starts. Here, I tell you exactly what I want, or my governor will...



Who is your daddy, and what does he do?

Go.

My favorite Aliens

Greetings, Earthlings. Here are your voting results.

Here are the results of last Friday's vote. The next Funky Friday lesson is scheduled for JUNE 26th 2009.

On the last Funky Friday, you were asked to vote on the following question:

What do Brian and Philip see outside the window?

A medieval knight. 11.75% (324 votes)

Bruno Delavigne about to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. 18.89% (521 votes)

A Police SWAT team encircling Delavigne HQ. 30.13% (831 votes)

An alien spaceship. 39.23% (1082 votes)

It's official! GymGlish users have decided that the Delavigne Corporation has been visited by aliens! Will they be friendly? Did they smell Delavigne fragrances from another galaxy? Will a few bottles of Tiger Lilly be enough to stop them from destroying the Earth? We'll find out in next month's Funky Friday!

NEXT FUNKY FRIDAY: JUNE 26th 2009!


I voted for the Dragons, but unfortunately, that was not an option. Now I have a brilliant idea: Everyone list their best alien in the comment box. Here I go first: ALF (using telephone).



Now you go!

Answers, answers, answers (at least some)

Wow, what an amazingly creative bunch of questions! Sorry for not answering sooner, I had a quite unbelievable amount of washing to do for Bruno after his washing machine broke down. That man must have the biggest sock collection ever, it was a herculean task to get them paired back up together.

Anyway here goes....

Jess said: I want to know if Bruno has a girlfriend! And I also want to know his salary. Thanks

So Jess. You want to know if Bruno has a girlfriend. Hmm, well, I'm not really sure if I'm the best person to ask about this, since I've often been known to spit at any girls that come anywhere near him. Currently I believe he's single, though he knows that special someone in his life is just an intercom button away.
As for his salary... Somewhere between 1 dollar and $200 million.

Gee said: As we have the floor to ask questions of any kind about anything, how stupid should we be not to pounce on the opportunity. Here are some questions that have been burning the tip my tongue for some time yet:
*About Brian Jones

Why does a British gentleman as Brian leave his pants on the floor of the meeting room when he gets doing his daily workout?

Gee, your questions were perplexing, but I'm glad you got into the Q&A spirit. Luckily Sandy was able to follow your meandering line of thought and provide a correction.

I can answer the only one I understand, that which mentions my underpants...
My underpants have done a tour of Delavigne. After I accidentally left them on the back of a chair to dry off after a grueling pilates session in the meeting room, they must have been noticed by Edward (who was hiding in the wardrobe) and who gave them to Donna (in return for a peck on the cheek). She in turn sold them to Susie, who gave them to Polly as a birthday present. Polly locked them in her desk, but Giuseppe (Horatio's monkey) found the key and took off with them. Giuseppe wore them for 3 days solid before losing them during a strip poker game with Horatio. I believe that's where they are currently: being used to filter Horatio's essential perfume oils. I'm glad they've found such a worthwhile home.

I'll pass on the rest of your questions to the members of staff. Perhaps they'll have better luck deciphering them! But thank you all the same, it's great to know we have such a wacky band of followers....
