We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

500 pounds After watching this I just had to do a hatchet job on an old standard:
500 Pounds
If you miss the plane I’m on,
I will know that you are gone.
Cause I’ve dropped 500 pounds upon your head.
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Cause I’ve dropped 500 pounds upon your head.
Lord it’s one, Lord it’s two,
Lord it’s three and Lord it’s four,
Lord it’s five hundred pounds upon your head.
Not a shirt on your back,
Not a penny left intact.
Oh, I will blow your arse to hell this-away
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way,
Oh, I will blow your arse to hell this-away
If you miss the plane I’m on,
I will know that you are gone.
Cause I’ve dropped 500 pounds upon your head.
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Cause I’ve dropped 500 pounds upon your head.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Yikes. Don’t even try that video if you haven’t got fast broadband.
I know what you mean. I downloaded the data first and played it locally.
Thanks, Dale, for a much neede chuckle:-)
Aw, I thought from the poem that you were referring to the bomb hoax story from that Australian girl who missed her flight.
Must be stored on a slow server. The file is less than a megabyte in size. I saved and renamed the file sniper_gets_sniped_US_style.
Julian Taylor – wow. This Aussie girl’s living in the UK? I guess what we keep hearing about the Australian brain drain is true, huh?
I find myself thinking of the Proclaimers:
ROFL! However this tune is more fun because of its associations…
