Oh, and some of you will remember Matt Lehman, who used to post on Delphi and was James Wu's boss at Comicopia; Comicopia is up for Boston's Best Comic Book Shop, so you could toss a vote his way too while you're there for Mortified.
The Bookseller (the publishing industry trade magazine that I write for) has an annual award called the Diagram Prize, which honours books with odd titles. The longlist has just gone online and there are a few V-friendly titles. Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots for one.

It's my favourite. If it doesn't win, I will be gutted.
My brother is/was in a band called Tough Love. Not so much these days as he and the bassist discovered they could make money by being a Led Zeppelin covers band.
The other night, some student bitch decided to piss on my doorstep. We've all been caught short, but there are several alleys nearby and my house is in a cul de sac, so she can't have been far from her destination. When I When I discovered her, she just laughed at me.
She was foolish enough to leave her handbag, complete with ID outside my house. If anyone feels like joining me in humiliating her a bit, feel free to join this Facebook group.

Brilliant. Post scans of the ID! And link to her FB! Take it all the way!
On the basis of the huge amount of ridiculously Irish names amongst her friends, I'm going to guess it's this one. Looks like a door pisser, too.

I'm scared of going too far with it and ending up on some shitty BBC web article about cyberbullying leading to suicide.
We were going to try to get her address so my brother could send her a solicitors letter on his headed paper (he's a barrister) and leave her handbag in to the cops so they'd have a word when she picked it up. We got a bit carried away with the facebook stuff, so i don't know if she'll want to give us her address to reclaim the bag.
She's only 18, i don't want to traumatise the girl, i'd just like to take the piss.*

*Ho ho etc.
Um, yeah, that's her, but let's not go mental. Just give the group enough members to mortify her a bit. We've all done terrible things while drunk, I don't want to Chris WhatshisfacewholovesMillenium her.

Tormenting people is one of life's little delights.

You rang the residents assocation who promptly used this as an example on the news. Dude!
Technically I told my mate in work, who's dad chairs the residents association in the rough area. It's a shame he can't name her on the news. One of my mates stuck it on youtube with a name, but i thought that was a bit far. Iplayer adnm linked to on the facebook page is enough.
It did amuse the fuck out of me. "The problem is spreading!"

About an hour and eight minutes in.
So what did you do with the bag in the end? Just hand it into the cops or are you waiting to hear from her?
It'll be up on chickspissing.biz before you can sing "Cry Me A River".
TAW is handing it into the cops today. She never responded to my facebook message about her bag, so I'll leave it with the cops and a polite note. Civic duty and whatnot.

It's not actualy terribly interesting. Talking head pollitics program and while talking aboutout of control students in an iffy area, he mentions how it's spreading. He says that he got a phonecall from people in a nice area (lies) who were woken up (lies) and looked out the window (actually we opened the door) to see a girl peeing on our dourstep (true). No names were named.
