The Halfbakers' Other Ball

Just a Little TOO Much Variety Show

I was going to write a song for this event but it seems unnecessary.

The idea is simple: Put on a variety show that travels the world, revealing the weird and confronting inventions and personalities of the HB.

Ride [hippo]'s Ferris Wheel; try one of [AfroAssault]'s toilets; take a quick trip around the city in an Inflatable Car.

Tour 190 countries in the next ten years. Suck the marrow from the bones of life.

You know you want to do it.

       Apologies to anyone who may have performed in the original Secret Policeman's Other Ball.

       Phew! I was worried this would be an idea to semi-neuter male HBers...

       I thought it was going to be a gene-splicing method at a macro level.

       Suck the oxygen out of the room ......   

       Avoid booking your tour into London in 2012. That's the year the bizarre Circus known as the Olympic Games comes to town ..... pleanty of half-baked ideas building up already in the nation's capital, like, "It won't make a huge loss", "It won't mean tax rises", "there will be benefits after the Games", and the most hilarious of all, "We can make a good job of this".

       I've wondered, however briefly, what sort of cockup London can make of the 2012 games, what with the determinedly amateur status of everything British. The logo wasn't an auspicious start.   

       I just hope Boris Johnson gets a proper haircut before then.

       I saw him during the Beijing closing ceremony and I thought he was some homeless geezer you lot had picked, to show your compassion.

       it's so easy to predict that we'll make a mess of it, so easy.   

       we're so bloody good at mocking ourselves - we'd win gold at that.   

       I predict that there will be cock-ups aplenty and it will cost a fortune but the world will enjoy a truly tremendous sporting event.
