Hull

Yes Oh By Baphomet!
But first, as we are trying to sneak a visual pun past those sinister gatekeepers The International Hamster Conspiracy, we need a bit of a decoy.
  Remember the photo posted of all the remaindered food Conrad bought on Friday?  Well, ironically, this is all that remains:

 

Cream Filled Doughnut.
Although it looks nothing like a doughnut

     Conrad has eaten most of the other stuff, bar a few real proper doughnuts, and is not only still alive, he is irritatingly chirpy.

Alas!  Madeleine's Not Well Done
I think if I try these again I'll use self-raising flour, as this lot were a bit flat.  They actually taste okay, it's just their appearance -

They were reluctant to leave the tin

     These, I believe, are behind Marcel Proust's "A La Recherche Temps Perdue", so they have an impressive literary heritage.  If only they hadn't stuck to the tin!

All Above Board
This is a lie.  Mostly stuff is beneath the board:

Behold!  The board

     I have used the board to lay out the hex-and-counter wargame "Supercharge" with a collection of notes I made at the time, viz:

Behold! and be bored

     This is - comparatively - a small and non-complex game that doesn't have more than a hundred counters and a relatively small map - 
      - sorry, what's that?  You're losing the will to live?  But this is riveting stuff, I tell you - riveting!

Hull
Talking of rivets ... yes indeed, please find attached a photo of:

I have no idea what "DA FU" means.  But it sounds rude.

     - a ship's hull.
     What?  There is a football team with the same name?
     Gosh!  One might almost think that Conrad was stooping to wilful baiting to generate more blog traffic!
     Almost.

Project Orion
No, not that Project Orion, this Project Orion.

NASA staff express their appreciation of "Strictly Come Dancing"

     Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking - but if they were called "Jammy Statics" people would think they'd get a shock when they ate - Oh!  Sorry, you were wondering exactly what Orion was?
     NASA's new spaceship, which was successfully tested yesterday.  The launch had been delayed because The Hood had been spotted nearby of unfavourable weather and a boat straying into the launch zone.  On Saturday the craft made an almost completely fault-free journey to land in the Pacific Ocean.  Clever Orion even took pictures of what it was up to in orbit:

This is your planet.  Look after it.
(I need it intact for my invasion fleet, thanks very much)

Finally
Because it wouldn't be BOOJUM! and I wouldn't be Conrad without seeking to exploit a small cute animal for blog traffic:
