 : WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE MADE THIS WEEK
   Other than making their mothers feel shame
  
   * P*RNHUB COMMENTS ON CARTOONS -
   @quasirealSmiths writes, "Just thought maybe
   you'd like some random bots I whipped up because
   I got bored.  Takes daily Heathcliff strips and
   grabs a random p*rnhub comment and mixes them."
   Good stuff, although we had to look up who
   Heathcliff is, basically a less successful
   Garfield, by our reckoning.

   * NEVER MIND THE BOLLARDS - Sheep writes, "Hello
   B3ta - if you're still after stuff for the
   newsletter, I made something about bollards"
   Thank you Sheep, we are ALWAYS after stuff for
   the newsletter, this thing doesn't fill itself
   you know.

 : HEBTROCO SPONSORSHIP
   Go on buy some jeans
   Listen up B3tans, seeing as we sit at the
   coveted intersection between middle-age, comedy
   and programming, we're probably dressed very
   badly indeed. Help is at hand with Hebtro, with
   their durable threads, all made in the UK to the
   highest standards. You lucky people.

 : FESSHOLE
   Your confessions fessed up like cat vomit
   Each week you shout your fibs into the void and
   we pick out a few to share on Club Penguin:
   * WANK MATERIAL - "Standing naked in the
   bathroom, about to get in the shower, I had a
   fart brewing in front of my wife. To put on a
   show I squatted to let it out in all its glory
   and shat on the bath mat. 5 years later I'm
   getting divorced, can't help but feel this
   incident may have caused it."
   * OLD CODGER TODGER - "My old Dad - divorced
   from my mum - lives in an old people's home. His
   'son in law' visits his room every 2 weeks or so
   to say hi. In reality he's a bloke we found on
   Grindr who's into older guys and gives Dad a
   good time. No regrets. Care home doesn't know."
   * CATS - "My neighbour is a massive cunt. I've
   had a number of run-ins with him, but his cat is
   lovely and spends most of his time at my house.
   The amount of satisfaction I get from thinking
   even his own cat thinks he's a cunt is huge."

   Pre-buy the book from Dillons in Wolverhampton:
 https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/18041903...
   Buy tickets for the Christmas show in, god,
   continuing this shitty joke, err, put on by the
   sixth-formers at Smestow Comprehensive.

 -------------------------------------------------
 : SITES IN BRIEF
   Links your dad will be sending round in 2032
   * QUEUE GAME - We've seen two games based on the
   Queue this week, this being the slickest.  No
   idea if it is possible to actually win, but
   we're sure we'll find out what happens at the
   end when Pip Schofield uploads a speed run.
 https://queensqueue.com
   * LIFE IN MEXICO - A soundboard exploration of
   Mexico City, which we enjoyed both because we
   like a good soundscape, and also because this
   makes the place seem like Richard Scarry's
   Busytown.
 https://pudding.cool/2022/09/cdmx/
   * BAND NAMES - Coming up with band names is more
   fun than having to actually form a band, and
   this one lets you submit your best ideas and
   compete with the likes of Pub Scouts and Haribo
   For Breakfast in the battle of the band names.
 https://bandnames.cool
   * INTRODUCING THE 'NORTHERN BOYS' - Of course
   you want to watch a load of old dudes rapping.
   More entertaining than it sounds because they
   really go for it.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch
   * MEOW - And of course you want a roleplaying
   game where you play a left-wing cat.
 https://twitter.com/deathbybadger/status/157255891...
   * LEGO DRUM MACHINE - the best video you'll see
   this week is this genius teaching Lego how to
   play a drum machine.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch
   * MIMECAST - taking a gag too far this guy has
   produced four mime podcasts which largely
   consists of rustling.
