SFX Spurious Awards Of The Week 4

Jared Padalecki’s bottom, Morena Baccarin’s metal tongue, X-rated mugs and a whole lot more…

IRRESISTIBLE CAPTION OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK
"Anna speaks with forked tongue.” V provides lizard-in-disguise Anna with a sushi fork to provide some not so su𒉰btle imagery.

X-RATED MUGS OF THE WEEK
Maybe not the tea set to use when the vicar comes round. The actual mugs come uncensored. But wouldn’t it be great if they came censored but theꦓn the real words appeared when hot tea was put inside? Available from .

MOST EXCITING OPENING LINE OF THE WEEK
“I recently took my bubble jet printer into an authorised repairer...” From Look Who’s Talking , a collection 𒁏of Sixth Doc꧒tor Colin Baker’s columns for his local paper.

MYTHBUSTER OF THE WEEK
Remember that famous scene in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea with the giant squid attacking the Nautilus? Complete bobbins, according to “I’ ve done my research” party pooper China Miéville . In his latest book, Kraken (or, One Of Our Giant Squid Is Missing as it really should ha ve been called) he points out that because of the low pressure of the water near the sea’s surface, giant squid are actually rather lethargic and useless if they pop their tentacles abo ve water. So the one in the Disney film should ha ve been a sitting duck. (The book&rsqu💖o;s great by theꦗ way…)

APRIL FOOL OF THE WEEK
We just love this!

BEST OJ SIMPSON IMPRESSION OF THE WEEK
Cylon girl Zoe goes on the run from the law in a very faithful recreation of the most famous car chase 🍰in history – albeit one played back at slightly higher speed than the rather sedate real world chase.
