Day of the Lepus
I’ve started doing some serious planning for my trip to the east early next year – figuring out what I’m going to see and when I’m going to see it and so forth. As I’m a 21st century digital boy this has included a lot of poking around on Google Earth, and in doing so I’ve stumbled over something somewhat entertaining.
Have a look at this street on Middle Head. A typical suburban scene you might think, but what’s that by the fence on the left? Maybe if we move in closer…
Ha! There it goes!
Right into the bushes!
As I said, entertaining 🙂
That’s all I’ve got to say.
Taxing
Dey took arr jobs!
Well, it looks like the Carbon Tax legislation is going to pass. It’s not perfect by a long shot, but at least it’s something.
Of course, it does mean dey’re gonna take arr jobs!
🙂
Postcards from the Edge
The past is a foreign country. They wear funny hats and eat all kinds’a weird crap there.
I give you Perth – 1954 style!
Pros – Decent public transport, lots of beautiful buildings, plentiful rain and a boundless sense of optimism.
Cons – Did you see a single non-Anglo-Saxon in that video? Because I sure didn’t…
Really? That seems rather inconvenient…
Ah….
OK, I think Servants of the Imperium has been hacked… (Not Safe For Work!)
(The hackers have been changing it up a bit, so the title of this post doesn’t make much sense anymore. Move along!)
(Much Much Later: Note for future generations and other interested parties – at the time I originally wrote this entry the Servants of the Imperium site had been replaced with a somewhat undecorous illustration of two men engaged in, shall we say, “the art of love”, with the caption This is how I play 40k with my boyfriend)
Oh for the love of…
Bob Marley? Seriously?
Emotional Bag Check seems like a really cool idea, but the level of musical knowledge displayed by the top 25 list of recommended songs listed on PerthNow is just appalling!
BOB MARLEY DID NOT SING DON’T WORRY BE HAPPY YOU PHILISTINES!!!!
It’s by Bobby McFerrin and was released in 1988 – SEVEN YEARS AFTER MARLEY DIED!!!
Not every singer with a deep voice and Jamaican accent is Bob Marley, for crying out loud!!
Similarly songs number 5 (Three Little Birds) and number 23 (Everything’s Gonna Be Alright) are the same freakin’ song! Unless of course by Everything’s Gonna Be Alright they actually mean No Woman, No Cry.
I don’t own a single Bob Marley album and I know this stuff. Sheeze!
Well at least I can take comfort in the fact that a song from A Very Potter Musical makes it onto the list – although I can’t really discount the possibility that this is only because Darren Criss is on Glee now…
The Lancaster Soup!
Chinballs!
Call me a Heretic if you like, but as far as I’m concerned the correct lyrics are…
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmmm,
Feed the foam,
Environment,
At Royco, Cup-a-Soup,
You’re acting fifteen!
Touching yourself, repent!
At Royco, Cup-a-Soup!
OOOOOOOOOOOHHH!
The Lancaster Soup!
Soup in a cup!
God is Royco, Cup-a-Sooooooooop!!!!!!
In government the liquor’s the same,
And that’s all I’ve got to say about that!
Hoaxored!
We’ve all been punked.
Well, it turns out that study that linked use of Internet Explorer with low intelligence was a hoax.
It still said what we were all thinking though ;D
Watch out or he’ll Curse you!
Edit Wars Ahoy!
As someone who was peripherally involved with the decline and fall of Earthcore it’s quite amusing to read through the history and discussion pages on its Wikipedia page.
Spiro always was a bit histrionic…
Well we all knew it…
Stats for the Win!
It’s official! Internet Explorer users are totally dumb
It’s just nice to see some stats backing it up.
