From my brother on my 28th birthday

Best birthday present you can receive on your birthday is …. Chuck Norris jokes :)
=============

In 1969 Chuck Norris roundhoused a man towards the sky. One day later Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon.

Chuck Norris could rip off your head and shit down your neck but his shit
is far too valuable. So valuable, in fact, that it is used as currency in
some countries and is a delicacy in others.

Chuck Norris TKOed Mike Tyson in Nintendo’s Mike Tyson’s Punchout on the first try. It was so easy that after he did it he murdered a puppy.

Jack and Jill ran up the hill, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked Jack down and made sweet barbaric love to Jill, then they both went home crying.

Chuck Norris is Darth Vader’s father.

Jimi Hendrix didn’t die. Neither did John Bonham, John Lennon, or Janis Joplin. Chuck Norris just kidnapped them and forced them to form an all-star group for his own personal listening pleasure. The band, known as “Teapot Medallion”, performs in Chuck’s basement on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but the Friday night show is an 18 or older show, but it doesn’t matter because the only person who knows about it is Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris slaps Vin Diesel whenever he feels like it.

Chuck Norris told that one kid from the Sixth Sense that he has AIDS. He then smiled.

There has been one and only one person in the history of the world to challenge Chuck Norris to a footrace. That man was a 4 time world champion track star. His name was Stephen Hawking.

Chuck Norris once taught a woman to love again by repeatedly punching her in the face.

Chuck Norris supports abortion. It is still unknown whether it is his attraction to killing babies or his desire to control his child support payments that fuels his support.

5 years ago Chuck Norris ate Kiefer Sutherland and shit out Jack Bauer. FOX still owes Chuck a beer.

Chuck Norris uses a live rattle snake for a condom.

Chuck Norris doesn’t actually have a beard. What we perceive as a sexy and rugged man-beard is actually just Chuck Norris’ skin. Legend has it that if Chuck Norris actually grew a beard, every woman in the world would simultaneously orgasm, thus destroying the Earth. Chuck Norris isn’t sure if that’s true, but he thinks we’re better safe than sorry.

A man was once stranded on the side of the road after his car ran out of gas. Chuck Norris drove by, got out, and looked the man in the eye. The man knew that everything would be fine. Then Chuck proceeded to piss into the man’s gas tank and to this very day that man has never had to fill his gas tank up again. That was 14 years ago.

To save money in special effects costs in his latest film, director Peter Jackson cast Chuck Norris as King Kong. To prepare for the role, he did not shave for three days, and ate an entire college basketball team.

If you see Chuck Norris wearing shorts and wonder why you can’t see his penis hanging out, it’s because it’s tied around his leg three times.

Peter Jackson initially wanted Chuck Norris to star in Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately, the entire trilogy would’ve been 12 hours shorter and full of dead hobbits.

Bill Clinton uses Chuck Norris for Sex advice.

Chuck Norris can impregnate women by simply raising his right eyebrown. He can impregnate men by raising his left eyebrow but he doesn’t bother because he doesn’t want a world like that crap Ahnuld film “Junior”.

If you say, “Chuck Norris” five times into a mirror, he will kill you with a roundhouse kick, for making an allusion to a movie that doesn’t star Chuck Norris or his beard.

No one has ever seen Chuck Norris and Optimus Prime together at the same time. Coincidence?

Chuck Norris once went in for a physical, and during the examination, the doctor weighed him and found that he weighed a whopping 650 pounds. Shocked at how heavy Norris was, even with how much muscle he has, the doctor asked why he weighed so much. Having been met with this inquiry many times in his life Norris simply pointed at his crotch and said, â??My penis.â??

Chuck Norris drinks a special shake every morning for breakfast, the ingredients of which include yak milk, strawberry, banana, pineapple, a sprinkle of Bruce Lee’s cremated remains, and two fetuses. He says the fetuses make it extra creamy.

While filming an episode of “Walker Texas Ranger” the director disagreed with Chuck Norris. Chuck then roundhouse kicked the director in half. Afterwards realizing they needed a director, Chuck Norris ejaculated onto the ground, then out of the ooze rose a clone of Chuck Norris himself who then went on to direct the episode. This episode won every single Emmy award that year including best animated sitcom.

Chuck Norris has a hot or not rating of 1,000,000.

Chuck Norris made a sequel to Pretty Woman, in which he repeatedly roundhouse kicks Julia Roberts in the face for 90 minutes. He ends with the line “Not so pretty now, are ya BEEEEYATCH!!!”

28 Tomorrow

In the sneakiest of moves I can remember, my 28th birthday has come rushing up to bite me on the perennial arse. I can honestly say that i’ve ushered in this birthday (or will usher it in, in about 90 minutes) with as little fanfare and promotion as humanly possible. Some early dinner and drinks with friends on Saturday night (co-inciding nicely with access to a desserted house and ancillary to allow said houseparty to actually go ahead) and followed by quality time at the gym with my significant other and that’s all i’m really looking for this year.

My real birthday (tomorrow) will involve me managing out the deployment of one of our sites (5,000km’s away), planning two site migrations for the following weekend and pumping my legs into oblivion when I haul my sorry ass down to the gym (yes, i’m going to the gym on my birthday, I truly do have issues).

From my side of the fence, the last 12 months has been pretty full-on and I really believe that the next 12 months needs to be my pennance for just being a total maniac. I’ve committed to, and am starting to see the results of my weight loss (next jump on the scales should have me at officially 7 kilos lighter than a month ago), the results of my improved quality and clarity at work (an opportunity to present to the board of my company) and generally the opportunity to go through a phase of change for Kath and I (interesting and exciting, but nevertheless change which is always difficult to manage, particularly when you have to manage yourself!).

I’m truly blessed that all the craziness has not culminated in me being single, dead or otherwise and alcoholic and i’m just forward to living my life and being a significant better person this year.

Here’s to being 28 I say :)

Chinese Takeaway

God help us all… :)

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the “Chicken Surprise”. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

“Good grief, did you see that?” she asks her husband.

He hasn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.

“Please sir,” says the waiter, “what you order?”

The husband replies, “Chicken Surprise.”

You’re going to love this………………..

“Ah… so sorry,” says the waiter, “I bring you Peeking Duck”

Melbourne Visit

Down in Melbourne folks, doing a site migration and generally trying very hard to not break out on my diet by eating all the junk food, classic meals, huge servings and delicious desserts that a place inherently colder than my home provides.

Holding out is going well so far, plus i’ve been walking an hour a day which helps things along just nicely. I’ll however be breaking my promise to myself today at lunch when I order some Pizza and indulge in a few slices. So my new goal over the next 5 days is not to lose any weight, just pray like hell that I don’t put any more on!

Other than that things are going well. We’ll be working well into the night (welcome to IT) and generally i’ll be the brunt of the migration tomorrow. Thankfully most of the users are very calm (and now even welcoming) of the new move so i’m thinking things will go off rather well.

Onto important business, the business of a luuurve, we’re heading into Valentines day people. Of course that means showers of chocolates, lingerie (good for him and her!) and generaly lovey-dovey material. It’s also why i’m heading home two days early :)
Other than that things are really just moving along swimmingly. Work is good and making progress, life is good and making progress and i’m still in search of a ‘vocation’ that will keep me entertained but not break my budget :)
I hope you’re all doing well, thankyou for all the comments, e-mails and other such communications that I receive from you from time-to-time. Remember to keep smiling and I miss you all
