Ew.
Thanks Pa Lehane
Yes. This actually exists and was recently picked up for international distribution by Camelot Entertainment Group at the Marche du Filme at Cannes.

CPU Wars ($8): a Top Trumps style card game in which you pit your 8088s against your opponent’s 64-bit multicores.
The 30 CPUs featured date from various periods.
You, of course, will remain dateless.
The game is ideally played by 2 or 3 people. The deck is split between the players and then each player takes a turn and picks a category that they think has the best value. We have chosen the most important specs that could be numerically represented, such as maximum speed achieved and maximum number of transistors. It’s lots of fun, it has a bit of strategy and can be played during a break or over a coffee.

The Caketrope of Burton’s Team (he’s French) by Alexandre Dubosc: an aptly odd homage in the form of a cake that animates in the style of a zoetrope when rotated.

Yesterday’s Corpus Christi procession in Blackwater, Co Wexford.
Young girls (‘brides of Christ’) placing flower petals before the feet of a priest who is carrying the Eucharist and being shaded from the sun by four gentlemen carrying an ornate four-handled umbrella.
That’s how they roll in Blackwater.
UPDATE: We have been informed by commenters below that the girls are laying the petals in front of the wafer (the priest is holding) rather than the cleric himself. The wafer represents the body of Jesus Christ and the canopy is to protect ‘Him’ from the sun. None of which is in the least bit odd. Apologies to all.

The beach last night and the very mini-‘riot’ over a bus on Saturday.
Turned out nice.
Thanks Cathal Breathnach
This morning.
Erected by Independent TD Mick Wallace who sez:
“The Fiscal Treaty has no positives for the people of Ireland. It involves rules that will curtail flexibility for future governments on public spending, it involves a threat that we may not be able to access funds if we happen to need a second bailout, it also involves further cuts on the ordinary people in order to meet the new rules, and it involves fines if we fail to meet the fiscal targets.”
