See, I can come up with stupid titles for the post as well.

And as we continue with our previous show, classic quotes from Adam…

“Kylie, Kylie, Kylie…. Holly doesn’t even rate in comparison. She’s our adopted-Australian”

Umm.. dude.. SHE IS FUCKING AUSTRALIAN!!! and that is all.

Not to make myself sounds psychotic or anything, as I try to do that as little as possible, a guy at work today was telling me about the chickens he has been breeding and whatnot at his place. And I make a quip regarding his chickens and dinner. He then says that he fully intends to kill the rooster as soon as it gets its ‘voice’ so that it doesn’t wake him up and have him ‘over for dinner’ if you will. He then proceeded to have a conversation with another lady who was in the vincinity who also has chickens/ducks/turkey’s etc at her place and regurlary kills hem for dinner, about the best way to kill the chickens. After a while I step into the conversation and ask if either of them if they have a problem with killing these animals. (I’m generally a gentle person, of course what I say soon will make some question that but its true nonetheless. I get a squeemish feeling inside when it comes to hurting animals and whatnot). Both of them answered in the negative, as I guess I knew they would even before I asked, but it got me to thinking. I personally don’t think I could do it. As much as a rooster may annoy me and all that I don’t think I could actually go out and pin it to the chopping block and chop its head off, or put it in a bag, with the head exposed, tie it upside down to the clothes line and then slit its throat and let it bleed to death (both of these options where discussed mind you). On the other hand, the thought of taking another humans life doesn’t invoke that feeling of squeemishness inside me. As I said, this may make me sound psychotic, and re-reading it again it does come across like that. This doesn’t mean that I intend to go out and kill or anything like that, I just felt it weird that those feelings weren’t there when that thought crossed my mind during the conversation. Of course, if ever presented with the need to actually kill another human I think it would probably then hit me and those feelings would surface
Anyway, enough of that. Some Friday humor for us all..

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.

You feel stuck with your debt if you can’t budge it.

A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.

And finally a joke that I thought was amusing..

The Lone Ranger was ambushed and captured by an enemy Indian war party.

The Indian Chief proclaims, “So, you are the great Lone Ranger. In honour of the Harvest Festival, you will be executed in three days. But, before I kill you, I will grant you three requests. What is your first request?”

The Lone Ranger responds, “I’d like to speak to my horse.”

The Chief nods and Silver is brought before the Lone Ranger, who whispers in Silver’s ear, and the horse gallops away. Later that evening, Silver returns with a beautiful blonde woman on his back.

As the Indian Chief watches, the blonde enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night. The next morning the Indian Chief admits he’s impressed. “You have a very fine and loyal horse, but I will still kill you in two days. What is your second request?”

The Lone Ranger again asks to speak to his horse. Silver is brought to him, and he again whispers in the horse’s ear. As before, Silver takes off across the plains and disappears over the horizon. Later that evening, to the Chief’s surprise, Silver again returns, this time with a voluptuous brunette, even more attractive than the blonde. She enters the Lone Ranger’s tent and spends the night.

The following morning the Indian Chief is again impressed. “You are indeed a man of many talents, but I will still kill you tomorrow. What is your last request?”
The Lone Ranger responds, “I’d like to speak to my horse… alone.”

The Chief is curious, but he agrees, and Silver is brought to the Lone Ranger’s tent. Once they’re alone, the Lone Ranger grabs Silver by both ears, looks him square in the eye and says, “Listen very carefully, for the last time I said… BRING POSSE!”

Enjoy your w/end all

Ok, not feeling the best…

Have to drive 500k’s to Brisbane in a few hours… probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel of my own sanity, let alone a motor car.. but it’s all good
Eve: Didn’t mean to sound *so* excited, but i’m sure you understand the impact of alcohol @ 3 in the morning
We return to our usual pseudo-communications from this point out

But I think I secured a housemate which is all good, as long as last night doesn’t become regular gig it’ll be all good..

Guys, i’ve got nothing… Matt, Wonton, Dan, Eve …… save me from blogger delirium
Love your work
A

- Be up drinking various alcoholic beverages with potential new cute English Backpacker housemate
- Be up drinking various alcoholic beverages with gay friends (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
- Listening to Garth Brooks
- Arguing over the concept of “If someone was dying, would you bother to clothe them, or merely chuck them in the car and take them to the hospital”
- Drink a carton of Rum before requiring a drive to Brisbane in less than 8 hours…

Just quickly..

The only benefit I can see to coming into work during the day on a Thursday is that today is ‘Sushi Day’.

mmmmm sushi..

That is all

Women may think they have the monopoly on mystifying the opposite sex, but every so often men can do the same. Granted for the most part we can be predictable, but occasionally we have our moments.

Lets get down to these important questions then.

Who would win a fight between Pink and myself? Most likely Pink. I don’t think it would be too hard for her to whoop my ass all over the room. This being because I probably wouldn’t fight back. Mostly because I don’t condone hitting women for whatever reason. That and the fact that if my dad ever found out I hit a girl he would hunt me down and kill me. Only waiting until he met me in the afterlife (if there is one) to hear my side of the story. Even if he was 80 and moved at 4m an hour I would still worry about him finding me.

Even if he was dead I think he would come and haunt me for doing it. But as I said, I don’t condone it so she would whip my ass. I think even if I fought back, she would still win
Kylie Minogue, no question. While they are both beautiful girls, I would easily pick Kylie over Holly. Adam probably knows my reasoning, and if he answers the question then my answer will most likely be similar to his. I just think Kylie is tops as well. Though not as tops as Delta.

I have no comment on Mankind writing his book and it becoming a hit.

1. If you’re too open-minded, your brains will fall out.
2. Don’t worry about what people think; they don’t do it very oft n.
3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
4. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.
5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.
12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.
18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again.
22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
25. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.

Ok I shouldn’t be posting at all but the latest Delta love-a-thon/bitch-a-thon has got me intrigued.

1: I find Matt’s puppy-love attitude towards Delta quite sweet but also baffling. To be honest I just assumed any girl singer who doesn’t get her breasts out on Ralph or FHM wouldn’t have male fans. Once again I don’t get boys at all.

2: I kinda agree with Adam on the sympathy vote, however I think regardless of the cancer I think she would’ve swept the Aria’s anyway. I mean all of her singles have hit no. 1.

I think she’s talented, gorgeous and considering the burden that’s been placed on her recently, brave.

However every year the awards are biased towards not just the music but also the human story behind them. Last year it was silverchair and Daniel Johns battle against athritis. Next year it’ll be Nikki Webster and her crack cocaine addiction, at least I’m hoping.

Anyway boys, save your energy for the more important questions like if you got into a fight with Pink would you win?( No really honestly) And if you had to choose between Kylie Minogue or Holly Valance who would you pick? And what is up with the wrestler Mankind writing a book that’s hit the New York Times bestseller list?

See much more important things to worry about

If Delta had got the ’sympathy vote’ that you are so certain she got, then she would have won the album of the year as well. As it is she was just better than the others in the categories she won. The only vote that the Australian public had any input in, was the album and single with the most sales. All other topics are voted on by the aria board or some such thing.

Anyway, I knew you’d reply like this. You’re so negative
As discussed, depending on how things work out here at work, I may end up being offered a position in Sydney too, so make sure you have room for another flatmate. Mind you, I would probably only move down there to spite you. heh

“Have I mentioned I can be a shit-hot rollerblader”… lets be honest here, just drop the hot and everything in that sentance will be correct
signing off

This is what I have to say about the last post:

Delta “Sympathy Vote” Goodrem. God bless the Australian public for sticking up for the Aussie battler, it’s a part of who we are. In this case there’s only one problem: There are plenty of Aussie battlers who are exceptionally talented that deserved some of the limelight.

But who am I to judge.

Powderfinger rocks folks - Great to see their album (Vulture Street) named after a Brisbane icon, and road which i’ve driven and bladed down many-a-time.

Have I mentioned I can be a shit-hot rollerblader… another time perhaps…

but Delta Goodrem is tops. I state it here that I am totally a Delta fan. I may or may not recieve ridicule for this but I don’t care. Her music is great, and she is quite possibly one of the best looking girls EVER That and she seems to be almost too nice to be true, but I believe it totally.

I don’t want to harp on the subject too much, but if for any reason your reading this Delta then you can contact me through Adam, he knows my details, and I will be happy to respond w00t

Of course, Adam being the prick he is, would probably cock-block me and I’d never know, but if I ever found out he would then die in the most horrible fashion I could imagine.. and I have a very vivid imagination when it comes to these things (don’t let that scare you Delta :P) hehehe

Anyone that knows me can think back to my thoughts on Britney Spears. Take that devotion (though I may not have stated it openly at times) and place it all in Delta’s camp. And this time I’m more than happy to admit it openly
So she made a clean sweep of the Aria’s, and I was very surprised (and I’m sure others were too) when she didn’t get the Album of the Year award, as she had dominated the rest of the awards ceremony. I’m not saying Powderfinger didn’t deserve Album of the year, I’m sure they did, I’m just not a fan of their music and would have been happier to see Delta take that one too
Ok, enough of my fanatical dedication. Though Adam is most likely going to kill me, I will state here that if you haven’t seen Kill Bill you are only hurting yourself. This is an awesome movie and your life will be better for having viewed it.

I’m not a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino’s but I absolutely loved this movie from start to finish. I have heard reports that Australia got a slightly edited version of the movie. Nothing is cut out from it, its just that the large fight scene (where Uma has the katana and is surrounded by the Yakuza members) goes to black and white during it because we (Austalians) are not able to cope with the bloodshed in that scene. Apparently Japan and whatnot got the unedited version and their fight scene is in full colour the whole time. Whether or not this is true I am yet to verify, but I would like to see that scene in full c lour. Mind you, the fact that it goes to black and white in no way makes that scene any less cool
Fear not Adam, for I will definately see this movie again, and I will even pretend it is the first time I have seen it I’ve done this on numerous occasions anyway, its just that this time you will know ahead of time that I have seen it instead of me telling you afterwards or not at all. You know me, I’ll see movies multiple times for the heck of it, even if I didn’t think they were that great if you wanted me to go along. Its something to do and I don’t mind spending the time with you, though sometimes I may think differently in hindsight hehe
