AWWWWWWWWW

Why was the sand wet? The sea weed. Why did Santa go to college for music? So he could improve his wrapping skills. What do you call a mermaid on a roof? Aerial.

Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just getting my game together for the annual dad jokes 2016 conference. I thought I had it in the bag, but if this week has proved anything, it’s that Geoff is going to be tough to beat!

Most Comments

You were all a little less chatty this week. The most comments came from the Telkom clarifies the Fair Usage Policy on its uncapped LTE article. That piece only managed to drum up 66 comments.

Comments of the Week

My favourite comments come from the article I wrote about Loverwatch, an Overwatch dating simulator. I seemed to cause much distress by writing it, and saying I’d totally play it…

Admiral Chief: Kill it with fire

Pariah: Matty. No.

Sageville: why you do this Matty? Why?

Deceased: … No Matts, just no 😐

I’m so sorry friends!

      Was wondering the same thing. No really bothered with the upvotes, but Hammer is sorely missed here. Hope he’s ok.
