I know I normally put the BushLoco at the bottom of this blog, but had to make this new one a feature:"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments." --George W. Bush, speaking at a

So, I just noticed that the Olympics are over... Did I miss anything? Don't feel like I have, however, I would've loved to have been there for this gem of an event: (And who can blame her?

Painful Know-it-alls

2008-08-25T12:25:00.002+10:00

My day to vent publicly! I finally put in their place someone I work with who is your classic "Know-It-All". This is the definition of a KIA from the Urban dictionary: 1. know-it-all 1 thumb up A person who's quick to oppose the opinions, input, or approaches of others in seemingly every aspect of life by always trying to correct others with their own input that they present in an

Okay, I'm no mathematician, but I am a bored Olympic viewer. So, today Australia is fourth on the medal tally, which got me wondering how amazing this achievement is considering our population. So, out popped Excel and I formulated some numbers.... I know it's pretty rough, but it was my 5 minute shot at it. For the second table, the population is based on 43% of the population between the ages

Loco-Rinso (Crazy Old Women)

2008-08-17T23:10:00.003+10:00

I happened across this video and had to post it. I've seen many fights over the years; usually in pubs or outside pubs between young men and/or women. Never have I seen a fight that made me laugh...until now. The poor old dears don't even have the energy to stand up.

This Ping Ain't Pong

2008-08-17T23:00:00.003+10:00

Since I'm not allowed to show clips from the Olympics, I thought I'd post two clips of one of my faviourite sports at the Olympics - Ping Pong. Why is it one of my favourites? Because it's LOCO. Hitting a small plastic white ball on a table. Can't get more Loco than that (except maybe for ribbon dancing)Here are two "classic shots" from Ping Pong. I have no idea who these guys are, but they're

My quest to show highlights of funny, strange or memorable tragic (but still funny) moments of the Olympics has FAILED.I forgot that all material is owned by the Olympic Committee and the broadcasters and cannot be reproduced without written permission blah blah blah..........So instead I'm going to have a 'poor me' moment. For the past 2 1/2 days I've had an eye infection that has rendered me

As a tribute to the 2008 Games, I'm going to post regular gems of Olympic moments. It's only early days with Beijing, so no bloopers yet. So, here's a taste of what's (hopefully) to come over the next fortnight:

Red-Eye Fortnight

2008-08-11T09:34:00.002+10:00

Since my last post I've been consumed and transfixed to my TV. Damn Olympics. I can't help myself - I love sports and love them more when Aussies are hard at it. So begins a fortnight of bleary red eyes.However, there are some sports that I can't take seriously.... Like women's gymnastics. Not all of it, but the floor routine, the bar thingy and the ball and ribbon throwing? Come on! Women's gym

For those who don't know me, I'm Buddhist. Whilst I don't visit the temple on a regular basis, I do my best to learn and live by Buddhist teachings - to me, their teachings are the only teachings that make realistic sense (particularly in today's unbalanced world). Whilst I still have alot to learn, I hope the path of learning never ends.To signify the fortunate day of 08.08.08, at 8:08am and 8:

...you think it's actually Wednesday, and then are reminded it's only Tuesday. Suddenly, you feel a little ripped off - like you've lost a day and you have to work an extra day towards the weekend.I predict in 50 years time they will change the calender to have 8 days in a week.If you've also suffered Tuesdayitis, brighten up your extended week with a viewing of the new postcard at the bottom of

Crazy Cash-Hungry Oil Bastards

2008-07-23T09:26:00.003+10:00

I, like everyone else in the world, have had enough of these fuel prices. They say today that prices are set to go down - first they said "15 cents per litre", now they're saying they're "not sure how much". Next week they'll forget everything they've said this week and the prices will never go down - instead, the profits will line Bush's... I mean the oil companies pockets....But do they realise

What is LARP? Live Action Role Play.Basically, a bunch of nerds... I mean people... get dressed up in role-playing scenerios and go to war against each other... Yelling out things like "Lightning Bolt" etc to destroy their enemy.This is seriously one loco hobby. Makes my postcard collection seem rather trivial and boring :-\Watch these videos for an enthralling demonstration. (Go lobster claw of

Ze Aliens are Comin!

2008-07-08T21:23:00.002+10:00

Just had to post this. I love alien stories (or anything about the unknown really). Always have since I was a kid when my fascination for the unknown was insatiable - I couldn't read enough about it. I haven't heard or seen a good 'alien sighting' story for a while, but came across this and just had to toss it up here. Those who have claimed to have seen aliens or had encounters are often viewed

Anyone know who this is?Really can't recall how the hell I came across this in the first place (one of those weird Google searches where you type "tomatoes" and it comes up with porn or something... anyway... )It's Sweet & Sour if you haven't guessed - I absolutely hated that show/band in the 80s, and looking back on it 20 years later, I can see that at least I had my "you suck" radar on during

80s Trippen

2008-07-05T12:09:00.003+10:00

Lately I've been thinking alot about the 80s. Why? Because an old friend from high school got back in contact on Facebook, resurrecting all of these memories of the late 80s, high school, the music, films, and most of all, who I was and what I wanted to do with my future.When thinking about this, I realised that so many things that are 'normal' in my life today would've (most likely) to have been

Pointless Drivel?

Given that this is my first ever blog entry on my first ever blog, I wanted to make it clear that if you think this is drivel, then you've missed the point.Pointless drivel is just one of the loco elements of conversation that make life fun and give it depth. That kind of light/shade thing - without it all "images" of life would be black.I don't want to give too much away about myself (just yet);
