vomiting

Yet, in front of Mr Brocklebank the other day, on the station concourse, a female student type suddenly and violently ejaculated what comedian Barry Humphries calls "a Technicolor yawn".

today: I Died, EarthquakeRetrofit, JM Ginsberg, eraritjaritjaka, Technicolor Yawn, Daniel Heila (with video), Burning Indian, Future Is Dust, Disjunct, Cryptic Weevil, Audiometic and Pulse Emitter, with video by Disjunct 7 p.m.

After figuring out that "kit" meant gear and "kip" or "chop" or "tucker" meant chow an' "grog" meant rum-and-water and "technicolor yawn" meant woofin' your cookies, and never, ever, ever saying "fire" unless there's smoke and flames involved--otherwise say "shoot"--we got along just fine.

Director Bo Welch's brightly-coloured movie is so extraordinarily garish I wasn't so much thinking "technicolor" as "technicolor yawn".

Which leads me to wonder why the British are so obsessed with the idea of ruining good food out of doors, serving charred-yet-raw salmonella steaks to their nearest and dearest, and ending the evening with a Technicolor yawn on the lawn.
