Stories from the shop front #8

Ok, so apparently our store now sells porn. Low level (so I’ve been told), but still. I know we were never family-friendly in the first place, but did we really need the extra wierdo clientele? Was the quota not high enough?
Because now we have shifty-eyed middle aged men coming in wearing their smelly trackies, trying [...]

The absolute height of hypocrisy, that will doom Australians to death.

The ‘Bali Bombers’, Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, are going to die in early November. They have exhausted all avenues of appeal, including the claim that they were charged with a crime outlawed only after they committed it (not the actual attack, I’m pretty sure that’s always been highly illegal).
For the living victims and the [...]

To hell with George Orwell, Hunter S Thompson predicted the social apocalypse…

I haven’t written anything because I’m lazy and would rather read books. So I’ll share something I read with you instead. It’s bemusing how incredibly little things change, and how true this rings for right now.
The first is pretty obvious, and the second quote could easily have been written about Newtown, Kings Cross, Byron, or any one of hundreds [...]

Stories from the (shop) front #7

Regular customer comes in- a middle-aged lady, and as usual she’s wearing a bicycle helmet and mascara on her eyebrows and dressed like Edwina from Ab-Fab. She wants a movie that’s ‘true’. A drama, not too gory, or sweary, and if it’s based on disabled people that would be great.
Miraculously we find a few (minus [...]

Paris for President vid#2

I’m sorry Soph, but it’s funny.
And this one has Martin Sheen in it! There’s no way I could not put up a piece that involves the West Wing’s Jed Bartlett and Paris Hilton talking politics.
Sorry for the over abundance of youtube clips-I’ll write words when there’s something worth writing about.

“Oh McCain, you’ve done”…no I can’t do it sorry.

Foo Fighters tell McCain to stop using song.
Of course they do. Doesn’t McCain know Matt Santos already used it? And so it belongs to Obama?

What a f***ing stupid concept. (Language warning?)

 
 
Question.
In reading the title just then, did you read the word as ‘fucking’ or did you self censor your inner-narrator and only hear a strange muffled ‘f___ing’?
I’m willing to bet that you did the former, and if you did the latter, then what are you, morman?
I understand censoring bad words out of public forums is [...]

Plug

Hi. Because I’m obviously RUBBISH at writing often enough to keep you happy (the demands of the fans…who knew it could be so much?), here is another one to read. http://neverleavehomewithoutlipgloss.blogspot.com/ is Belinda’s blog (who I’ve known since we were little enough to have sleepovers that involved midnight guerrilla missions to the kitchen to steal [...]

Stories from the (shop) front #6

A kiwi customer came in last week and asked for a gangster movie, with that “nuggah guy” who plays a “pump”.
