It Makes You Feel Warm & Fuzzy

I was walking down the street this morning and I noticed a woman walking toward me looking at her phone. She was obviously SMS-ing or something. She was well dressed in a business suit – obviously a woman of some decorum. In her haste to get to where she was going (and with her head [...]

Is One Not Enough Ladies?

Why do you women these days carry two handbags? Is it not enough that you have one bottomless pit of perfumey-makeup-stuffs hung over your shoulders already – so big people in the street are knocked over – so big that you require an extra seat on the bus – and now every one of you [...]

I Like Traffic Lights (But Only When They’re Green)

Why do people choose to cross at the traffic lights, but then not wait for the lights to change? What could be so important that it is worth risking your existence to get across the road 30 seconds before the little walking man goes from red to green? Sadly, I see this most often in [...]

Guests At The Last Supper

Filed as: General

Recently MK and I were discussing who we would invite to our ‘last supper’. By ‘last supper’ I am talking about the whole Jesus and has 12 apostles thing (see image above). It was only a brief conversation, but it started me thinking – who and what is really needed at the ultimate dinner party? [...]

The Humble Vacuum Cleaner

Why is vacuum cleaner spelt with two ‘u’s? Zochor and I have discussed this at length, and have decided it just isn’t right. If that is the correct spelling for vacuum, why then don’t we have mushruums? While we are on the subject of fungus, shouldn’t we then have toadstuuls? How many bathruums does your [...]

Skywriters

Where do Skywriters train? I’m talking about those dudes that fly over writing stuff with their exhaust fumes. I mean, you see them at the festivals, and at the races – you see them pretty much all the time, but they already know how to write ‘Beer’, or they already know how to draw the [...]

Rat’s Milk Sauce

Hi. My name is TheBigBlack, and it has been 3 days since my last drink. Yeppo. It’s time. MK and I are trying to ditch the Rat’s Milk Sauce. That’s right. The Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee. We have been slaves to it’s smooth taste long enough. We stumble through life like demented calf’s waiting to [...]

The Curse Of The South-Paw

September 25th, 2006 – 3:23 pm
Filed as: General

Left handed people. What’s with that? In the natural scheme of things, why are there so few left-handers about the place, and so many rights? If Darwin was correct in his theory of natural selection, us monkeys should have got rid of the kaki-handers eons ago. Yet they are still here. Now don’t get me [...]

A Blog On Bog

I am appalled by the toilet facilities, and those I must share them with, at my workplace. First off – Adelaide. We have a ‘Waterless Desert Urinal System’ where millions of tiny microbes are living inside these special blue ‘Ice Hockey Pucks’ that sit in the tray. Magically, when a happy camper chooses to write [...]
