In case you haven't seen this fantastic interview with Steve the Clown, here it is for your viewing pleasure. Astonishing stuff!
Meanwhile, here's a nice compilation from today's Guardian website:

Welcome to The Boot Room!
More to the point, welcome to the painstakingly renovated Boot Room blog, home of the PREDICTIONS CUP (TM).
It's here on the blog that the real work gets done. You see, anyone can click on a fantasy football website to choose players that will collect more points each week than I can even dream of. But it takes a real man (or lady) to make snide comments about those successful people on a quiet, rarely visited blog. I'm that kind of man (or lady), and I know that many others in our league are too. So let's get started!!!
A particularly warm welcome to the new players this season. For the new folk, please feel free to introduce yourselves here. To kick things off, here's a brief guide to some of the league's veteran players:
Name: CT
Hometown: Oxford via Wellington, NZ
Characteristics: A plucky little fighter, CT had a rough season last time out. But she's fully rested and has ambitious plans to take her Stubbies to the very top!
Typical blog post: YouTube clips unrelated to football
Name: Geoff Goodwin
Hometown: Philadelphia PA via Brisbane
Characteristics: Last year's winner, Guus Bumps is making a triumphant return, but many astute observers believe that this year's campaign may be fatally undermined by complacency.
Typical blog post: Losing PREDICTIONs
Name: Simon Petrie a.k.a. Derin Town
Hometown: London
Characteristics: Actually a new player rather than a veteran, Simon is my soon-to-be-brother-in-law. Despite his hubris is naming his team after himself, and himself after his team, Petrie promises much in his debut season.
Typical blog post: ?
Name: Jason Riis
Hometown: Boston MA
Characteristics: Significantly taller than Geoff Goodwin, Riis took a break last season while he had better things to do (in New York???). But now he's moved to a small town in upstate New England, and he's remembered who his friends are!!
Typical blog post: I'm just expecting lots of 'em, now he has all this time on his hands.
Right, that's it for now -- it's my bedtime. I'll continue with the introductions shortly, unless I'm beaten to the punch. Looking forward to the season!!!
