Letterman's Important Message About February for George Bush

Rachel and I were watching the tv the other night and that stupid macca's ad came on.

So we are going to ring up Macca's and see if they're so enthusiastic about showing random young ruffians around their factories when they're not escorted by camera crews shooting their latest advertisement.

I'm sure they'll 'love it'

ooh we don't use steroids or hormones! buuuulllllllsssshhhiiiiittt

Go sunrise!

I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that channel seven is doing something useful with its popularity:

The federal government is apparently planning to cut rebates for solar power, which would obviously be a backward step. (Hard to believe we could go even faster backwards!) Sunrise has a petition to stop this so stop by and sign, it might just be the kick up the ass that federal politicians need to wake up to the reality that is climate change.

Holden

For those of you who don't know, I got a job at Holden which I'm very excited about!

The job involves crashing these beautiful vehicles into brick walls and investigating what happens. I'm sure there'll be many a tear shed.......

I'll also be involved with seat-belt, airbag and head restraint testing.... basically anything to do with safety.

YAAYYY!!!!

Why I've been stuck in my room for a couple of weeks.........

This one's the mini-me version... probably not the most exciting this you'll read all year.

are we generation x? generation y? the ipod generation? myspace... napster... mobile phone... msn generations?

I'm confused

I saw the editorial in the Herald Sun the other day........ it suggested that the federal govt should cut the petrol excise..... BRILLIANT!!! THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T READ THE HERALD SUN COS YOU GET FUCKING STUPID!!!

Scary thing was... they were actually serious! To cut a measley 10c off the per litre price of petrol at the pump would cost a staggering 3billion dollars and cut the budget surplus by a third!

The other, arguably worse, effect would be to relax the price incentive to move away from petrol. Petrol is cheap...... and it always has been, the fact that it's going up is a signal from the market that it's going to be harder to find from now on. The idea should be that we start looking for alternatives but according to the Hun it just means that the govt should subsidise our addiction to middle east oil!

Thankfully, both the federal govt and the opposition understand this and wont be following the Hun's advice.

That message again........... The Hun is terrible. It's use should be confined to covering the bottom of birds cages and wrapping up broken glass....

What the hell is going on up there in Sydney??

crazy people....

The Israeli's have gone too far now! Lebanon has withdrawn from their matches with the Socceroo's in the Asian Cup qualifiers because of the war.

Doesn't everyone realise it's a lot more fun not being in a war?? Who cares what religion other people are........ why shoot rockets at each other?? Just do what Australia does and beat everyone on the sporting field!!!

Noticed yesterday while I was at work that you can now buy instant mashed potato. MASHED POTATO!! The very same mashed potato that your mother cooks by simply cooking potato, adding a little butter and milk and MASHING!

Consumerism has really been taken to a whole new level...........

And while I was tidying (haha) the tissue aisle, I came across toilet paper with 'added lavender scent'

you've got to be kidding

Ok, so firstly, credit for this goes to Cara for being a nerd and finding it before me!

Skype is amazing! I called Cara yesterday on it and it is as clear as any phone! and you can play in the chat window while you are talking and send each other silly emoticons and stuff....... it's really good and way better quality and easier to use than msn messenger as it's actually a phone program.

Also for international calls I think it would be extremely cheap.... similar to those calling cards but without the hassle of having to buy them and enter pin numbers etc..... wow!

hey guys sorry if I am posting too many videos for those still with dialup! I hear asdl2 is coming soon (is that what it's called) so everyone can enjoy the videos I post........

I'm a bit exhausted actually, I've been visiting some right wing blogs to try and get an idea of where they're coming from.... they go crazy!!!! like really crazy!!! as such I didn't get my wish of an intelligent conversation..... hmmmm actually it was a lot of fun, in fact I should go back to wind them up a little. What can I say... suggestions?

I didn't get the job at Holden! But I'm happy cos cousin Ellen got one! Go Tidy/Boyles! :)

I'm not too disappointed cos I know I had an ordinary interview and I have other career paths I would like to pursue. Namely renewable energy or jet engine design.... two extremely different paths I know! Renewable energy has my vote at the moment because jet engines would force me to leave the country, whereas renewables gives me a choice and prob means lots of cruising around country Australia looking for places to upset locals and local orange bellied parrot populations.

So all of Australia's governments get together for a big talk fest and talk about........ daylight saving!! brilliant.

Although they all agree we should have a tilt at the world cup finals in like 2018 or something... nice work, let's hope it comes here!

sweeeeet

I'm at uni in my lab! ha! I have a lab.... But the lamps I have got to adjust are too hot so I gotta wait for a while..... so whats been happening with you?? Did you watch the video about the space shuttle docking?? wow! It's such a surreal picture to see the earth flying by underneath while the shuttle does such a gentle spin above it..... did you know the shuttle and the space station are orbiting the earth once every 1 and a half hours?? well now you do. That's pretty quick! That's why some people are researching the possibility of commercial flights that would actually leave the 'aptmosphere' for the bulk of the flight..... could fly to London in like a few hours!

Of course, 'aptmosphere' is depends on how you define it considering that there are particles everywhere in space.... it is not actually a complete vacuum. I always thought it was close enough to a complete vacuum, but apparently not! I found out the other day that the space station has to fire it's boosters once a month or so to correct it's orbit which has decreased in height by as much as a couple of kilometres due to drag from solar winds and stuff!! wow!

what a nerd

"By contrast with the Italians, Australia are the self-styled masters of self-belief. Ask them if the glass if half empty or full and they would say it was a free bar" ~ Rick Broadbent - The Times

Perfect! Thank you socceroos! You have inspired a nation!

What do we have to do??? Even if Neill's tackle was close to a foul it would have been a questionable call to send Italy to the penalty spot..... The fact that it was the 95th minute meant that the referee knowingly took the game away from both teams and put it in the hands of one striker and one goalkeeper. The fact that the tackle was in no way a foul makes the defeat all the more hard to take. Also, to be fair, the red card was questionable at best....... The refereeing really has been terrible in this cup.... for all teams. FIFA really have to get their shit together and fix this, you can't have referee's causing results to be changed. If they can't cover the ground PUT MORE REFEREE'S ON!!!! it's not fucking rocket surgery! :)

But you have to smile, because our team outperformed all expectations and challenged much higher ranked teams than themselves. Also, football has gained a new exposure in Australia and many more people will now be staying up late to watch the socceroos take on European teams at 2am. Also, with Australia joining the Asian group, we now have a FAIR shot at making the world cup finals, which will mean that we will be making more common appearances.......

What a wonderful time to be in Australia. We had Australians of all backgrounds all getting behind the one team which is the true beauty of the world game.


YYAAAAAAYYYY SOOOOOCCCEEERRROOOOOOSSSS

This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace!...THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

what can I say? this is truly a team to be proud of..... they are playing like finalists! They have already exceeded everyones expectations and still have some left in the tank!

They will challenge Italy.... especially if Italy play like they played last night!

Acting dog

hehe how cute! hmm I really should write something on here....... everyone is overseas! that's no fun! Rachel just left for Thailand..... Cara, Janet, Nina, Amy, Drew are all still overseas.... geeeez

"No single person on this planet has had the blood of more innocent men, women and children on his hands than has Zarqawi" ~ Donald Rumsfeld.

I don't mean to be flippant, I'm as glad as anyone that Zarqawi wont be car-bombing anyone else ever again......... but unless he was a very busy boy during his life I very much doubt that he has killed as many innocent people as has the US during this war. http://www.iraqbodycount.org - not the funnest website in the world, puts the number of iraqi civilians killed by the US at somewhere between 38254 and 42646.

I daresay that puts Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush right at the top of the list..........



On more fun topics, the world cup starts tonight!!!! yes I'm looking at you Jayan! I'll see you at your house for the next month! hahaha, I've heard you have a projector and some good quality beer ;)
Australia is looking good, although I didn't see them play Lichtenstein which apparently wasn't a great game. They have enough great players, but more importantly they have that Aussie spark which may mean we get more yellow cards than any other team in this years tournament, but also may mean we put enough pressure on the other teams to get better results than we probably should!

Should be fun anyway, if the Aussies don't go to the second round, I still have England, Holland, Trinidad and Tobago aaannnndd Japan!

One of them has to win!

hahaha

This is ROBOCUP!! where people re-program Sony's AIBO puppys to play soccer (football) against each other. The aim of the event is to have a team of robots by 2050 that are capable of beating the human world cup team....

Former PM Malcolm Fraser says it is "privatisation gone mad". But when it comes to privatising iconic Australian assets, the current Snowy Hydro debate is surely the tip of the icon. Once the government completes its sale of the Snowy, the rest of Telstra and Medibank Private later this year, the opportunities are overflowing for a really innovative cash-for-icons programme. Here's a further slate of highly attractive iconic assets:

Australia Post: Iconic Australian monopoly business with extensive retail network, large bike inventory, potentially great billpay system, and even further revenue opportunities for featuring B-Grade celebrities on limited-edition stamps.

Parliament House: Hot air tours are just one of the commercial opportunities afforded by this iconic national parliamentary edifice in which no expense has been spared in construction and fit-out. Generous lease back agreement subject to negotiation with vendor.

Australian Institute of Sport: Developing the iconic prowess and moral fibre of the next crop of Australian athletes, there is considerable revenue potential for HECS-style scheme. Excellent sponsorship potential from breakfast cereal and condom companies.

Australian Electoral Commission: Independent democracy administration service. Excellent cost saving available from streamlining operations and reducing electorates and politicians. Unstable but iconic Pacific region also offers growth potential.

Sydney Harbour: Stunning views, plethora of fish, steady stream of water traffic, iconic harbourside real estate. Ripe for further development, above and below the waterline.

Sydney Opera House: Architectural icon superbly situated for commercial exploitation. Major merchandising opportunities, including licensing of logos and images, available for an innovative owner. Large outdoor advertising space also accessible.

Great Ocean Road: Iconic ocean-hugging roadway with major tolling potential and other opportunistic tourism revenue opportunities.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Bloated and left-leaning broadcasting icon with enormous potential for rationalisation and depoliticising.

In other words, enough iconic assets to keep the federal Budget in surplus for decades.

Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon ... Forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy -- not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as fire lighters.
