Jump on in.

When I walk past puddles I can't help but wish I could jump through them into upside-down-land.

Feeling, like I might set ProximityLondon on fire if they don't sort out my payment,

Been there, done that, you know the rest, or do you?

So, the shot isn't perfect because I took it in a mall and this guy didn't stand still for too long. But, unless you're blind as a bat and have to use a sophisticated sonic sensory sonar system to catch your prey*, you should be able to see what's going on here:

Just about sums it all up, doesn't it?

Cock-up costs Coca-Cola, rather.

The clan at www.rathergood.com have triumphed over the big, sugary, evil giant that is bigger than water and, it has been rumoured, wants to be bigger than Jesus*. Coca-Cola's agency thought they could get away with STEALING COOL SHIT FROM THE WEB. But the Brothers Veitch overcame the fizzy manifestation of Satan's Sweet Spoils. Of course they would. They're the most righteous animators of animals singing absurd songs etc. ever. And Coca-Cola is EVIL, as stated previously. And Rathergood.com come up with wonders like this:

Cats doing Human Things on Meowspace.com

Behold Spike the cat getting to grips with channel surfing:

From what Spike's human tells me, there were nights when they'd flip a coin to decide on whether they'd be watching Lost or old Bruce Lee flicks. Bless.

You can see more of Spike (and other cats doing human things) at Meowspace.com on Flickr.

Feeling, neat and tidy,

Universal + Versatility = UNIVERSATILITY

Care to put forward a definition?

Feeling, inventive,

Got this from Flickr:

Flickr News

19th January, 2007

Important Security Notice:

Recently there have been attempts to lure Flickr members to web pages which look similar to Flickr and invite people to enter their password or download a "package" of private Flickr photos.

Flickr does not offer downloads of photo packages, self-extracting archives of photos, private or otherwise. If you see a link which offers something similar -- even if it appears in a comment or posting left by a member you are familiar with -- please use the "Report Abuse" link at the bottom of every Flickr page to let us know.

This is not a problem specific to Flickr, but there have recently been Flickr members targeted. We don't want to see anyone affected so it is important that you exercise caution in your clicking.

How can help protect yourself:

-- Make sure that the address locator bar of your browser is visible. If you follow a link anywhere in the site that leads to a page that looks like Flickr but the URL is not flickr.com, please use the Report Abuse form listed in the footer of every page to let us know. We have active filtering and we'd like to review any comment so that we can add new URLs to these filters.

-- Flickr members can only sign in to Flickr on "login.yahoo.com" (excepting "old skool members"). For your own protection, you should review the information available at security.yahoo.com.

I mean, is it necessary to 'lure people'?
Why should you have to 'exercise caution in your clicking'?
The web has such awesome potential, as long as we can keep the tools off it.

Feeling, at times, sad about the state of cyberspace,
