No Riots Tonight - Lets Cruise For Chicks

April 27, 2004

A hard night on the piss last night ended with a doner kebab from “Peter’s By The Sea” and the 10 minute walk home. About 100m ahead of me, a young woman was also walking home.
As I crossed West Coast Highway, a marked patrol car pulled into Manning Street, approached the girl, and the cops [...]

Equal Eating Time

April 23, 2004

Remember the loser who decided to pig out on McDonalds for a month and give up exercise in order to prove that McDonalds food was unhealthy? Many people called bullshit on his story - which it pretty much was.
The problem with the experiment is that McDonalds offers a large variety of foods with a wide [...]

Drugs, Again.

April 23, 2004

A mini-meme has surfaced again regarding the war on drugs in the US and Australia. Michael Jennings links to a paper detailing the history of the legality of Marijuana in the US.

Still No Apology From Howard

April 22, 2004

It was only a matter of time before some smart-arse came up with a play on John Howard (Prime Minister) and John Howard (Actor).
SHE might have lost out on the Gold Logie on Sunday - but Seven has learned the hard way that viewers still love Georgie Parker.
The scene in which actor John Howard swears [...]

Pub Gaming - Australia’s Shame

April 22, 2004

All around Australia, pub, nightclub and RSL punters are surrounded by gaming machines. These devices provide a bit of cheap thrill in exchange for your hard earned cash. Cash that could be better spent feeding your family or saving towards the accumulation of assets.
Many of my friends are addicted to them. Night after miserable night [...]

Rollin…In My 5.0

April 21, 2004

An disgraceful miscarriage of justice today in the US, with Bender magazine naming Starship’s “We built this city” as the worst song of all time. A shit song, to be sure, but does it really stack up against “Ice Ice Baby” or even “Achy Breaky Heart”?
Vanilla Ice got off light, only finishing 5th, but the [...]
