I spent all my money on cigarettes and porn....
Her: Wow. That looks amazing, store bought or home made?
Me: Tinned
Her Thoughts: Ah yes, on closer inspection that appears to be canned mushrooms on a bed of four bean
My Daily Struggle: To make unacceptabley cheap meals presentable.
Priceless.

Federation Square has got nothing on the Clubhouse.
The Lowest Common Denominator
No grasp of irony
Articulates every thought
Keen observer of the obvious
The lowest common denominator strikes again. This is why in the first half of this year there was only 46 minutes of news coverage on the war, but American Idol is in it’s sixth season.

Fuck you Coudal.
Who do you think you are, floatin’ around the Internets, writin’ semi interesting things about obscure topics, not havin’ an RSS feed, expectin’ us chumps to remember you and visit you and bring our opinions.
Fuck you Coudal. Fuck you. I have better things to do.
Hair Gymnastics
Question.
Below are two photos taken a week apart. I didn’t touch my hair colour in between.
How can I have black hair in one and blood red in the other? What manner of quantum hair do I possess?
How can we make this...MORE annoying?
This is impressive. No doubt. No argument.
Of course, being impressive doesn’t automatically mean that something is in anyway useful, or likely to garner my position opinion.This is a great example of that rule.
An application that converts classic books into powerpoint presentations for those nine to five literati. Really?
Because I know I always look at weighty, intellectual books,...
The Way I Use Things
I think the underlying tenet of my ability to use any one thing is that I am always in the mood for something, but rarely aware of what that is. Inanimate objects that understand this tend to stick around.
This is why I listen to shuffle on my iPod and recklessly destroy the battery by flicking through song after song after song until the iPod gives me what I didn’t know I wanted to hear....
Farewell Scands
The Fire Engineers depart in a few weeks, back to Scandland. Looking for new flatmate/flatmates.

Your Favourite New Band
Struan from Vitamin Briefcase pointed us to shootingelephants’ debut album post. Here’s how it works. 1 - Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to Random quotations: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first...

Use the Forks
The Gothamist makes the Internet funny again. ”Manhattanhenge, the visually stunning phenomenon that occurs twice a year when the sun sets in perfect alignment with Manhattan’s street grid, is happening tonight. It’s just too bad that Vice President Dick Cheney has arranged to be in town at the exact moment of the sunset, to speak at the New York Republican State Committee Dinner and...
The Economics of Souvlakis
A pertinent question. Why does a mixed (chicken and beef or lamb) souvlaki traditionally cost more than a single beef/lamb one when the price of chicken is lower than the price of beef/lamb thus making the profit margin on the mixed souvlaki greater? Explain yourself souvlaki vendors of the world. (I just cannot believe that this graph exists)

Google Art
Previously I have been lax in publishing my google searches. Today I am being mysterious and protective.
Sharpie Sales Skyrocket
There are plenty of grammar nazi blogs out there. This one is different (RE funny) because of the bloggers poignant attempts to correct these mistakes.
Delayed Reaction
Sure, this is old and I could’ve just linked to it. But then how would I be able to check the google results for ‘sex with a pinata’.
“Here’s a sampling of the winners: The Joy of Chickens, The Theory of Lengthwise...”

Weekly Craigslist Spot
Way to be an asshole.
