Quench
Comedy Night
Chuckle vision
By Stephen Church
The Comedy Club’s charity night in aid of Save the Children started with Dan ‘specs offender’ Mitchell warming up the audience. Bizarrely, his trousers ended up around his ankles, whilst singing to an increasingly nervous-looking girl.
The first act, Kevin Coleman, began by swearing regularly as he strutted around the stage discussing Cardiff locals.
In contrast, mild mannered Dean Burnett, barely moving from the vicinity of his mic stand, discussed the size of his genitals. Both were received well, but their gags on ‘sensitive’ issues probably did not yield the laughs they would have liked.
Penultimate act Jeff Barker took to the stage, pint in hand, and to the audience’s delight questioned religion and the logic of hippies bearing ‘peace’ logos on German produced Volkswagen ‘Camper Vans’.
He was marginally outshone by final act Wes Packer. The ‘Valley boy’ produced a foul-mouthed, but entertaining, analysis of dogging and Glamorgan students.
The Comedy Club proved to be full of laughs and entertainment well worth the entrance fee.

Right, first off, I really hate it when people, namely students, bang on about programmes they used to watch when they were young. The top three offending programmes are as follows: Super Ted. Danger Mouse and the Magic Roundabout.

Arcade Fire - Intervention
As a fan of Arcade Fire, I really want to plug this single. But Intervention is not very good, sounding more like a hymn than their angry selves. There are better tracks on the album Neon Bible, so buy that instead. Or see them live.
In Review: Urban dictionary
In between spay-painting small horses with swastikas and sniffing glue the youth of today still like to chew the fat from time to time. Unfortunately the cretins have adopted a bizarre type of new-speak which can leave “me-mans” (myself and some of my close friends) “well vexed” (Perplexed, Peeved). That’s where the Urban dictionary comes in. With this peer monitored compendium of British and American slang you can find out what the little twazocks actually said to you before you walked off full of impotent rage and self loathing. Yay. To elaborate. After hearing a rap-tune recently I heard the word “skeet” a term with which I was unfamiliar. Consulting the Urban dictionary I discovered that skeet is a verb that describes, “Bustin’ a nut in a skizzles grill” or, the act of ejaculating onto a woman’s face. Other notable explanations submitted included the rather quaint: “To drop a banana item in Mario Kart 64, thereby causing a trailing opponent to slip on it and skid out” and the colorful “Something I would love to do on the Olsen twins. “The real fun lies in contrasting the Neanderthal with the surely mock-serious entries. Of course some helpful souls point out the real meaning of the word (something to do with clay pigeon shooting) but it is all done very tongue in cheek. A running dialogue on the site led one poster to claim it was a word which White people only heard about from the comedian Dave Chapelle. This in turn led one of his fellows to inform us that it is a completely fictional word invented by black people because they needed something to do in between collecting welfare cheques. As if via osmosis the stupidity seeps into you brain and you can impress the Gs in your hood with your newfound knowledge and/or prejudices lest ye be merced by your in the know peers.
