Welcome, strangers, to the show
I'm the one who should be lying low
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track
1. The seven year old autistic boy I work with, Riley, has the exact same music taste in music as me. Which is fantastic, given I’m getting paid to talk to him about Silverchair and Foo Fighters, but it does make me question just how evolved my musical sensibilities are.
2.
www.wwwdotcom.com exists, and amuses me greatly.
3. There are two types of vegans in the world. The first group are laid-back, witty, charming and attractive individuals who don’t care whether other people are vegan or not and who have little (if anything) to do with the animal liberation movement. The second group are paint-throwing, tree hugging, people-hating, hardcore P.E.T.A fanatics, and are frankly fucking insane. The latter of these groups dominate the majority of vegan comms on lj, and some gems include the declaration that living with non-vegans diminishes your own veganism, and feeding meat to your pet dogs is tantamount to animal abuse. Oh, and you know those anti-psychotic meds that stop you jumping off tall buildings and hearing voices? They may have been tested on animals so you should refuse to take them, otherwise you’re practically a carnivore!!!111one!! Makes me embarrassed to be vegan. Wankers. /endrant/
4. Brad Garret (the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond) was the voice of Wizard Whitebeard from the old Where’s Wally tv series; David Ogden Spiers (Charles from M*A*S*H) was the voice of Governor Ratcliff from Pocahontas. Thank you, awesome nineties childhood.
5. You know you have a serious addiction to Wasabi Peas when your mother asks you why there are six packets in the pantry, and you immediately start panicking because that is not nearly enough to get you through the week.
6. The plural of ‘Pegasus’ is ‘pegasi.’
7. Suzi Q from Holdfast Tattoo in Perth is going to be at the Sydney Tattoo Expo in 2010. Whoo-hoo! Fingers crossed that I get one of the last spots to get some original Suzi Q ink *nervous wait*
8. As of October 31st 2009, Mercy Ministries will cease to operate in Sydney. About. Fucking. Time.
9. Virginia Gay is eighty-three kinds of adorable.
10. The Magic Bullet infomercial has its own review. And it’s brilliant.
“Although the Magic Bullet infomercial may be vague on what actually happened at the "barbecue" the day before, you can be certain that several of Mick and Mimi's lampshades got intimate with Berman's scalp.”
“It is likely that Mick jokes about remembering the "whipping blade" because Berman is not just a one-dimensional drunk: He's also a devotee of sadomasochism.”
“Here's an idea for a Magic Bullet recipe: Blend together some garlic, gin, and stale cigarette ash, and you'll have a good idea of what it's like to French kiss Hazel.”
“Yes, they may say that the Magic Bullet can replace all the appliances you got for wedding gifts, but it's hard to imagine any bride replacing everything in her kitchen with the sort of device you'd expect to find on the food preparation counter of a meth lab.”
