Hooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays!

In other news I'll be doing a really awesome project next week which you can totally get involved in yourself. I'll be posting details as we go along on my twitter and facebook

Here's my twitter if you want to follow it

and rathergood on facebook here:

I think that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you. I LOVE YOU SO HARD! I'd do ANYTHING for you!

I'll make you choctopus! I'll sneak in to your house and replace all of your food with choctopus! I'll empty out your cereal boxes and fill them with choctopusses! I'll open all your cans, throw away the contents, fill them with choctopusses and seal them back up!

I'll fill your milk bottles with choctopusses!

I'll shove thousands of them in your water pipes so when you turn the taps on choctopusses come out!

I'll fill your shoes and your pants with choctopusses! I'll fill your toilet cistern so when you flush, you flush a cascade of wonderful choctopusses!

I'll put choctopusses in your hairdryer so when you turn it on, choctopusses shoot all over your head!

I'll fill your bed with choctopusses while you sleep!

I'll pile up hundreds of kilos of choctopusses behind your bedroom door so when you open it you are buried in a huge choctopussular landslide!

If you manage to dig yourself out, I'll be waiting outside your house with a circle of huge dumper trucks (those giant ones out of mines) full of thousands of tonnes of choctopusses. I'll be standing at the centre of the circle.

As you come out, I shall give the special sign, and we will be buried together forever under the worlds greatest pile of choctopusses.

We will cross the river Styx, home of the wild choctopus, together, to enter the Hades for eternity as the choctopussular King and Queen of the Underworld.

I WILL TOTALLY DO THAT FOR YOU! LUCKY YOU! SEE YOU IN THE MORNING!

Mwah mwah, superhugs!

Yours sincerely

Newsletter 173

Hellooooooooo! And welcome to the 173rd EVER newsletter from Rathergood!

The big news this week is that we've got a BAFTA nomination for I Love You So Hard! Ross Butter has a well-deserved New Talent nomination from BAFTA Scotland. HOORAYS!

And LOOK! Part 3 is ready for your delectation RIGHT NOW! AWESOMES!

http://rathergood.com/all-sketches/iloveyou3.html

I think that's about it for today, except to tell you I love you.

I LOVE YOU SO HARD! I'll shove sticks down my fingernails and pry them off for you! Then I'll do the same with my toenails! Then I'll grow some more just so I can shove sticks down them and pry those off as well! Eventually I'll have a box of finger and toe nails large enough to serve for breakfast for you.

I'll sneak in to your house while you're asleep and I'll wait for you to come down for breakfast. I'll get my gory, blood-soaked nails and I'll put them in a cereal bowl for you. I'll need some “milk” to put in with them, but normal cow's milk is a bit limp and doesn't adequately express the depth of my emotion, so I'll make my own.

I've got some of those massive North American slugs that eat meat and stuff. They make GREAT pets! You can feed them rancid meat just like a cat, and you can pet them just like a (slimy) cat, and you can sleep with them on your face like a cat! They are AWESOME! Anyway the best thing about them is that if you give them a shock they vomit their delicious half-digested rancid meat vom right back out of their slimy slugular faces!

I'll get my massive sack of huge slugs, all freshly gorged on rancid meat, and I'll get them out and hold them, one by one, over the bowl of ragged nails. I'll go “BOO!” at each slug, sending a cascade of sluggy meat vom over the bowl till it's filled to overflowing! That will be better than any pathetic cow milk! My special slug “milk” is the KING of ALL the breakfast moistening substances!

When you come down the stairs in the morning you'll find me there,  surrounded by my ravenous slugs, fending them off as they try and sate their terrible hunger with my flesh. A bowl of delicious nails in slugmeatvom awaiting your delectation on the table.

Then you'll love me back!

THEN. YOU. WILL. LOVE. ME. BACK.

Mwah mwah, superhugs!

Yours sincerely
