Gingerbread House Masterpiece V2.0

From the creators of emp-tea

Bananas have peelings too!

Helloo....hello! Calling out from the murky depths of fourth year, its your Emptea companions Dani & Jo. Lately we've been livin' it up in the studio (no, really... this is our home now) consuming a lot of tea and talking a lot of nonsense genius talk. It has come to our attention that some of you have not yet migrated this year; to combat this we have made a public health poster which you should all study very carefully:

Similarly, in the interest of your health you should also watch out for the bacon rash. Its a very serious medical issue highlighted by this week's The (young) Apprentice. Joanna has illustrated this handy guide for anyone who thinks they make have bacon rash. Remember your oinkment, folks!

SO, I bet you've all been desperate for a glimpse of our alteregos, Violet and Petunia. They've been with 9us for rather a while now... yes, let me think.. was it 1972? Oh dear, oh dear, pass me the tea would you Violet? Yes, well anyway... 

     (this is based on a 2 hour conversation this week. No, really...)

    Finally, I will leave you on this note - from a dear friend of mine, banana...

Yours sincerely,

Melon

(P.s... how IS Henry?)

Slo-poke

One day, while were working hard in the studio, Danielle says to me 'I'm a slow poke.'
'You don't look like a slow poke.' says I
'What does a slow poke look like?' asks Dani
So this is what I drew to demonstrate:

Afterwards we discovered, that someone stupidly named a pokemon 'Slowpoke', and so I had to change the name to 'Slo-poke' to avoid any lawsuits.

Lets fill up the emptea spaces...

...with some specialiteas!

Yes, they are back, and there will be more! Keep your cups at the ready.

Earth to Emptea: Please return.

Goodness me it has been a while hasn't it. 3rd year has kept us rather busy and we are all suffering from a pun and fun drought. Not to worry! Coming soon is more amusement from emptea including; "A Tale of Courtyard Pigeons" featuring our beloved Carl and Virginia, more specialiteas in some wonderful flavours including infinitea, unitea and insanitea, and possibly some cuddly bees! (you'll want to stay away from them).

In the meantime, here is some words and definitions from our new Emptea Dictionary (1st edition)

Chemistry - symbols and explosions
Cuddle Death - cuddling someone to death, incurring overheating. works well on queens...
Fllama - is it a fox? is it a llama?
Napternoon - a nap in the afternoon
Physics - something to do before you die.
Stuff - a collection of things.
Snowfa - seasonal sofa, a wintertime favourite Tofa - edible soya sofa! yum!
Threek - a fourk with 3 prongs
Trypography - type that's you know... tripe

Also here is a picture from The Frog Apprentice.

And finally a joke for any eca students:

Cinderella while waiting in Reprographics: "One day my prints will come!"

The syrup incident

Hellooo! Hellooooo... H-hello? H-hello o o...is that an echo? No, surely not.. I know there is someone out there seeking some emptea goodness! Well, anyhow, despite our lack of blogging, your diligent emp-tea creators have been at work (yes, really) making gingerbread houses and doing project work and writing essays... But here is a little something which describes a horrific incident in my kitchen the other week. This is the only possibly explanation for the large syrup flood in my cupboard...right?
