Don’t mind it as long as I’m not at the front

I have some quibbles but to be honest there’s no way I could do better

A genius

So beautiful and formidable

Feel the anticipation stretched to breaking point, then cut to crashing certainty by that “Goose!” You are now cast in a recapitulation of the oldest drama: the hunt. For hundreds of millennia, your ancestors fled from claws and spear-tips, or, when they could, played the other role: endeavouring to sink their blades in the hot tiring mass of meat-flesh fleeing them. Their peers that fell short, without offspring, were obliterated from history. Here and now, around that wondering circle of ducks, the contestants’ every instinct was handed down by victorious ancestors. The time has come for another test. In the milliseconds after you assume your role, ironclad automatic processes kick in, primitive brain networks light up, and ancient mechanisms start the release of hormones. Can you synchronise muscles and mind to win, as your ancestors did to outrun starvation and murder? Can you?

Can’t be acting like that. You lot have completely lost the plot.

Not as exciting as the name suggests but still pretty good

Interesting and instructive quantum phenomenon. Gets extra points because the name is satisfying to say.

Desire is the root of all suffering. In this case the suffering is borne by grass

It’s never that serious

This is going to be huge soon

Still as beautiful as the day I met you

So far I’ve usually been disappointed by these

Iconic, evocative. Useful as a metaphor, also kind of sexy

Even dirtier than a normal bomb, which is saying something

Love it. I think I’ll always have a soft spot for pleasure

Banger

Love this place

Horrible invention

Gets a bad rap. At the very least it gives people something to do.

Not really my thing, sorry

well done to all involved

It’s colonised my brain. Drowned my native thoughts. Shaped and limited what I can imagine. I still like it though.

One of my all time favourites

I’ve never met any but I think we’d get on like a house on fire

Thank you for being you

The guy knew his stuff.

Good for that “funky” sound

Excellent name.

Probably one of the worst beds

How could I not regard it highly?

Bad if it happens to you, but interesting for others. So I give it a 3

It’s past time to stop this
