From that bastion of accurate and up to the minute reporting, news.com.au…
A MYSTERIOUS crack in the earth the size of five football fields has opened up in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains.
No one can explain the gigantic tear in the rock, which measures an extraordinary 685 metres long by 48 metres wide.
“The gash”, as locals are calling it, was discovered by hunting organisation SNS Outfitter & Guides, which posted a photo on Facebook in late October. An engineer from the town of Riverton went out to investigate, reporting that there appeared to have been an incredible 14 to 18 million metres of movement.
Incredible indeed!
RIP Al Molinaro.
I always thought it was really decent of him to resume his role for Weezer’s Buddy Holly a decade after the end of Happy Days.
Title: “SWEDISH”
Panel 1: A Victorian gentleman in a cape and top hat is walking up the steps of a well-to-do house in foggy olde London Town.
Panel 2: Now inside, the gentleman speaks – somewhat furtively – to a well dressed young man while several elaborately dressed ladies lounge about provocatively.
Gentleman: I believe you offer… Swedish
Young Man: That is a service we can provide sir. If the price is right…
Panel 3: The gentleman – with a look of unseemly eagerness – pulls out his billfold.
Gentleman: Money is no object!
Panel 4: The young man accepts a wad of cash and calls over one of the well dressed ladies.
Young Man: Maria, please see this gentleman to a room. He requires… Swedish
Maria: Of course. This way please, sir.
Panel 5: The Gentleman is in bed, with the blankets pulled up under his chin, a nightcap on his head and a look of childish delight on his face. Maria – fully clothed – is sitting on a chair reading from a child’s picture book.
Maria: En gång i tiden fanns det tre små grisar…

Burger King, Burger King,
Does whatever a Burger King does,
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves at Burger King,
Look out, he’s a Burger King,
Is he strong, Burger King?
He’s got radioactive blood,
Can he swing, from a web?
Take a look at Burger King,
Look out, he’s a Burger King,
In the chill of night,
At the scene of a crime,
Like a beam of light,
He arrives at Burger King,
Burger King, Burger King,
Friendly radio Burger King,
Wealth and fame, listen Bud,
Burger King is his reward,
To him, life is a just like flies up,
Overhead just in time Bud,
You’ll find the Burger King!
Channel 10 News should really take a look at their closed captioning.
While I’ll happily support “Family Frud” taking over from the banal and pointless Family Feud any day, I’m not so sure about tomorrow’s predicted “60% chance of a Cher or two”.
I mean, one would be bad enough…
Happy Back to the Future Day everyone! 🙂
If you want to be really technical about it, Marty and the Doc will materialise above Hill Valley, California at 7:29am Perth time tomorrow morning. But let’s steal a march on the Americans and start celebrating now!
Does you know, of any reason, laak medical or others, wha, if you eat laak ham or sumtin, and drink sum iced tea at, laak, de same time, laak in your stomach, dey makes dis, liquid, dat look laak ink?
Apparently someone with an axe to grind has been distributing poorly photocopied duplicates of Pauline Hanson’s “No More” Facebook image to mailboxes in the northern suburbs (I won’t link to it, I’m not giving her the page views).
While at first glance one might agree with an image of Pauline and the giant words “NO MORE”, it goes on to clarify that what she wants is no more Mosques, Sharia Law, Halal Certification and Muslim refugees, and then reminds the reader that she’s standing for election to the Senate for Queensland in 2016.
Putting aside the fact that you can’t, logically, have less Sharia law when your country has no Sharia law to begin with, it seems to have escaped the notice of whoever’s distributing these things that people in Darch – and indeed people in the roughly 76% of the country that isn’t Queensland – are completely unable to vote for Queensland’s Senators. But then, anyone who’d consider voting for Pauline is not the sharpest tool in the shed to being with, so maybe we can give them a pass.
Bonus Content! Let’s all take a moment to remember Pauline’s fellow traveler on the loony right Jackie Lambie’s wonderfully incisive definition of Sharia Law…
“Well, I think, um, when it comes to, um, Sharia, Sharia law, um, you know, to me, it’s um, it’s, uhh, it, it, obviously involves terrorism”
Brilliant! Just brilliant!
Sigh
“They must have been on drugs!” says nothing about the process of creation. It merely outs the observer as someone so pathetically uncreative that they can’t comprehend original thought.
It’s the rallying cry of the irredeemably dull.
