Well, the poor old blog is limping along at the moment, which shouldn’t really be a surprise given that I’ve had impending nuptials looming. Next Sunday is the big day. I reckon we’re in pretty good shape. I pretty much just have to have a shave and I’m done. I’m feeling good. Composed, relaxed and [...]

An interview yesterday took a surprising twist when actor Jack Black unleashed a flurry of fake kung fu moves while promoting his new film, Kung Fu Panda.
“I just felt that it would liven things up if I did some whacky pretend moves,” said Black.
“I know it’s not normally part of my repertoire, but with my [...]

Well it’s a unit actually, but you get the point. It was pretty much an accident - we put in an offer that we didn’t think would make the grade, and it did. We paid a bloody fortune, and I have only the vaguest sense of the debt I’m in. To paraphrase Stewie Griffin, I’m [...]

The Excellent Missus and I are trying to get into the property market - and we’re getting smashed. I know I’m stating the obvious, but the real estate advertising is rubbish. Anyway, I thought I’d have a go at describing a place we might actually be able to afford. But then I remembered we can’t [...]

I would like to point you to this story about Australian Federal Police Chief Mick Keelty, whose Wikipedia entry was…err…modified a couple of days back. I’ve reproduced a bit of it below. It made me laugh because it was just so stupid and immature and loco… just how I like my funny stuff. Enjoy:

As rappers go, I don’t mind Kanye West. But Kanye, I’ve got a gripe, and as a white middle-class male from Australia I feel qualified to pass on this advice: ending two consecutive lines with the same word is not rapping in my books mate.
I’m going to leave aside the fact that a significant proportion [...]

Whitney: her name is not Susan
My post yesterday about lazy and obscure rap lyrics drew a comment that provided an answer to a question I have had since the mid-90s: what the hell were Salt n’ Pepa singing about when they said:

And he knows that my name is not [...]
