| | SO HOW WAS YOUR FRIDAY | | | Friday, June 20, 2008 (6:27 PM)
(I'm feeling annoyed) | | Well, we had some very welcomed rain this afternoon & as I left work I heard on the radio that there was an accident on the motorway. No probs I thought, I'll just rat run around the congestion & jump back on the motorway & I'll be home at the usual time........ Well that didn't happen.
The route I took includes sneaking through the Wolston Park hospital & around the golf course which is a nice way to unwind after work because of the wildlife in the area. So, there was this other guy driving a Nissan 4WD & towing a box trailer with the same idea as me, only he was in a big hurry.
The speed limit in the hospital grounds is 40 kph, which is about 25 mph & the road is littered with speed bumps & because my car is lowered & I have sports suspension I must crawl over these humps or risk some damage.
So there I was mid speed bump, front wheels over & rear wheels not, when I spotted Mr Nissan in the rear view. All I could see was this massive front bullbar & BOOM......I had a nice cold slab of Bundy & cola on the back seat which I was looking forward to when i got home, but alas there I stood in the pouring rain exchanging details with this goose.
He was very polite & he must have apologized 100 times, but why oh why do people driving 4WD's with big fat off road tires & towing trailers, speed in the pouring rain, through an area with lots of people traffic? Fortunately for him, he only hit me, & not a pedestrian.
So how fast do you think he was going?

| | A POEM BY PAM AYERS | | | | Saturday, June 21, 2008 (2:13 PM) | | OH I WISH I'D LOOKED AFTER MY T1TS
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me dear old knockers,
Not flashed them to boys behind the school lockers,
Or let them get fondled by randy old dockers,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS.
'Cos now I'm much older and gravity's winning.
It's Nature's revenge for all that sinning,
And those dirty memories are rapidly dimming,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS.
'Cos T1TS can be such troublesome things
When they no longer bounce, but dangle and swing.
And although they go well with my Bingo wings,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS .
When they're both long enough to tie up in a bow,
When it's not the sweet chariot that swings low,
When they're less of a friend and more of a foe,
Then I wish I'd looked after me T1TS.
When I was young I got whistles and hoots,
From the men on the site to the men in the suits,
Now me nipples get stuck in the zips on me boots,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS .
When I was younger I rode bikes and scooters,
Cruising around with my favourite suitors.
Now the wheels get entangled with my dangling hooters,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS.
When they follow behind and get trapped in the door,
When they're less in the air and more near the floor,
When people see less of them rather than more,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me T1TS .

| | INTERNETWEBSUPERSTAR | | | Wednesday, June 11, 2008 (3:56 AM)
(I'm feeling impressed) | | I'll be the first to admit that I got suckered by INTERNETWEBSUPERSTAR the first time i watched one of his videos. I cant remember who he was having a shot at, but I jumped to their defense & posted a comment.. DOAH!
It wasn't until he layed one on me that I woke up to his antics. My initial reaction was defensive, so I reached for pen & paper to take notes for a rebuttal but, I just couldn't keep up with him. This guy could talk faster than cousin itt & doesn't use commas & full stops. He was relentless.
Why was he defending of all people, Joshua Harrison?... It wasn't until he claimed to have taught Harrison to be mentally challenged that the penny dropped. I watched his video a couple of more times & one thing that impressed me was he ability to do his stuff with no editing. Most of it was straight off the top off his head & the hectic pace of his delivery simply doesnt allow his victim a chance to contemplate what's being said. And thats where he gets you.
I for one love a practical joke, & I can take being the bunny. The ability to laugh at yourself is a true sign of self confidence & it impresses people if you don't go getting all butthurt.
But then it happened.....
Someone else fell for it, but this person didn't jump to my defense.... he saw the shark attack & dived in for the feeding frenzy. OH YES....one of my growing crowd of detractors saw the opportunity for a head kick & went for it.
Now I won't bag the bloke for being sucked in by INTERNETWEBSUPERSTAR, because I too was a victim. I certainly don't deny him a right to speak his mind.... BUT.... I must have a say about the comment itself & then his attempt to rationalise his stance.
You see, this is something that really drags this community down. Some people, including a few women, just don't know their bounds. My Father once said to me, if you've going to make a comment in public, imagine that your Mother is standing next to you. Would she be proud of you?.
So, I'll ask you the same question mate.
I've noticed people wondering what is happening to the community spirit here. Well, are you being community minded? Did you consider the fact that women & children could be reading that? And yes the age limit is 13 here.
Australians can swear along with the best of them, me included. I grew up with 4 older brothers, so I knew all the swear words long before I could even wipe my own bum. But the one thing I learned early in life was there's a place & a time for everything.
So did your comment have the effect you were hoping? Of course not.... you didn't offend or shock me with that witty little ring stinger.... but I sure cringed for the members of our community who you embarrased.
If you were born in 1964 as your name suggests I would have thought that you would know this by now. I've said it before & I'll say it again. It's no wonder that women have such low opinions of men.
AFTER THOUGHT:
Even though I didn't mention INTERNETWEBSUPERSTAR's bad language, it doesn't mean I condone it. My point with him is that it's all an act. It's like being hit with a tital wave, but there's no truth in what he says & his only intent is to catch you off guard. It's a weird sense of humour but people should not take him seriously.
As for mistermark, he went for me with intent. His remark didnt offend me but it's like the innocent bystanders got in the way. If he wanted to crude, bloke to bloke fashion then he should have pm'd me. I would have at least respected his opinion, even though I dont agree.

| | THE OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY | | | Tuesday, April 22, 2008 (6:21 PM)
(I'm feeling cynical) | | the chinese contingent touched down at raaf fairburn in canberra this morning & the news coverage by channel nine was an anti climatic bungle to say the least.
we have our version of the today show & it is just so annoyingly cheesy. our tv people refer to themselves as 'personalities' & quite frankly thats one thing they just dont have. i only caught the coverage because im on compo with my busted finger, so its nice to lay in bed & catch up with the morning news.
the flight arrived some 20 minutes early & we endured several false cross overs to raaf fairburn before a short pr stunt with a few speeches & aunt ethel, an aboriginal tribal elder. the cameraman panned across to a group of maybe 6 asian folks waving chinese flags who were a few hundred meters away behind a chainwire fence. the commentator referred to them as "pro chinese demonstrators"....... what? demonstrators or supporters. all they did was hold up a flag or two.
unfortunately we werent able to see the hordes of "pro tibetan demonstrators" who werent even allowed onto the air base. i would love to see the reception that the chinese contingent recieved as they left raaf fairburn. canberra is one cold hell of a place at this time of year, by australian standards, but i guess nothing like what the demonstators had planned for them. i'll be eagerly watching the news this evening.
like most australians, i am sports mad. in particular i love the olympics & commonwealth games because they only come around once every 4 years. i love a contest & i love the skill, endurance & tactics. its great to sit back with family & friends, sink a few coldies & take it all in.
HOWEVER!
i also believe in humanity before anything. now, our political parties scrutinise the hell out of their candidates before they are thrust into public life. so, if the polititians can do it whats wrong with our olympic delegates. they are the ones who ultimately make the choice. i see in the years leading up to the announcement of the host city how the candidates arse kiss the delegates to death, & they make no attempt to be subtle about it.
the olympics to me is a celebration of humanity & a coming together of nations.
will tibet be represented?

| | THEMS THE BREAKS | | | Monday, April 21, 2008 (6:16 AM)
(I'm feeling crushed) | | I work as a warehouse supervisor in the construction industry. Currently I’m working the afternoon shift for 3 months then swap to day shift for 3 months.
Last Friday evening one of my boys had a problem with an item so I told him to bring it to me. It was in a wooden box weighing 30kg which is approximately 66 lbs & being jockey size he had a bit of trouble with getting it up onto our work bench. He had to swing it to get the momentum & dropped it squarely on the passion finger on my right hand.
Immediately my artistic side kicked in & I performed the dance of a thousand sodomised she’ites. In unison with that I invented several new swear words (see ya on the urban dictionary JW). Now I’ve had a broken nose & thumb previously but I’ve never ever experienced pain like that. It registered about 12 on the richter scale & I went awfully close to blacking out. Whoever coined the phrase “make pain your friend” should be dipped in honey & thrown to the lesbians.
Basically my finger burst in 2 places. Once, on the end of my finger & again under the nail. With blood pissing everywhere I got to the first aid room & I’m really grateful for the way my boys looked after me. After about 30 minutes with an ice pack, & a dressing applied I decided to drive myself to the emergency room as the hospital was only 10 minutes away.
Upon arriving at the hospital I could see the large queue up as expected. I mused at the parking signs out front… 15 minutes only, yeah right. Finally 4 hours & 45 minutes later I was off home.
The xray showed a double open fracture (not to be confused with a compound fracture) & now I have a date with an orthopaedic surgeon at the fracture clinic later this week. I was given ibuprofen for pain relief & amoxicillin to guard against infection plus a simple finger splint which is more of a hindrance than anything.
I really hate emergency rooms simply because of the human misery. I soon stopped feeling sorry for myself when I saw some of the other poor souls in that queue. After registering I sat next to this young bloke who had a bike prang 2 weeks ago & came second in a clash with a 4WD. He had 26 fractures to his right foot & it was in a half cast with wires sticking out of his 4 smaller toes.
After giving me the details of what happened, he told me that he had been in for an MRI earlier & during that procedure the wires had heated up to the point of burning his toes. He was sent down to the emergency department for some pain relief. About 1 1/2 hours he had been waiting.
The staff at this hospital perform their absolute best for all patients. Australians enjoy free public hospital treatment but I believe our government is doing its utmost to force as many people onto private heath insurance as they possibly can. Being a workers compensation case I have no choice but to have public hospital treatment even though Bev & I have private insurance. I really pity those who can’t afford it.

| | VIETNAM VETS | | | Sunday, March 30, 2008 (11:57 AM)
(I'm feeling annoyed) | | Here's a song by an Australian group called Redgum from 1983. It explains perfectly the physical & mental hell that these young men & women endured having to fight someone else's war through no choice of their own.
This is why you should never disrespect them by claiming their glory....
