I'll take an O for O my goodness thank's Rob:
Wheel of Fortune, last round, run out of time so Rob is spinning. The board reads:

S-L-C-N C--P
(thing)

And contestant number 3 asks for an H for Harry so now the board reads:

S-L-C-N CH-P

Rob says "great! You've got 3 seconds to solve it" and she says

"SILICON CHOP."

(long pause)

"OH CRAP I ( Read more... )

Chicken Catchitall, eh?
Another failed attempt to civilise my family. Mum cooked chicken cacciatore for dinner last night, and decided we were all going to sit down at the table to eat it - with knives and forks. And glasses of water. Kathryn didn't like the chicken much, so she put one of her chicken drumsticks across the table onto Matt's plate ( Read more... )

Can my day get any more ridiculous:
I just taught piano to a nine year old boy who, for half an hour, refused to take off his fake moustache.

Baulkham Hills Vacation Scare:
I think I have signed up for the holiday job from hell. Kathryn and I went for our interviews today, but when we turned up there we were simply handed our roster. The lady we talked to had a beard. The place stunk. They had a mystery cupboard (or it may be a room), as in, when we were being given the "tour" they said ( Read more... )

Teeth Frightening:
OK, so I complained about Mr. Cool. Then this morning, through hazy eyes in the bathroom, I take a second glance at our replacement toothpaste which reads:

COLGATE! BA TAC DONG!
(KEM DANG RANG CO FLOUR)

I am not kidding.

It is the middle of the night and I will probably find this completely unfunny after a proper amount of sleep but here we go:

Mr.Cool will make your teeth brightly!:Yes, that's right, from a bargain store my mother brought forth the toothpaste (cost of $2 with free toothbrush). And it's name was Mr.Cool. With no space between Cool and Mr.! It's ( Read more... )

My brother is in love, proof in three easy points:

1. He has been daydreaming. Matt was sitting outside on the oval at lunch. A teacher said to him "Matthew, do you know who's jumper that is?", pointing to a jumper on the oval. Matt said no, and the teacher asked "can you run it up to lost property for me then?", and he did. What a nice boy. Next ( Read more... )

Hot topic:
My sister has been blowdrying in the bathroom for the last 15 minutes. She walked in just then and said, "My butter is now defrosted!". I am tossing up whether to remind her we have a microwave or not.

Jonos updates:Last night I had a dream that I jabbed Jono in the face with a pencil. I am beginning to think we may have some unresolved ( Read more... )
