Look at Jeremy Piven in season 1 of the Larry Sanders show and look at him now and tell me he’s not drinking the blood of virgins.

What she actually said: I am so glad I'm not going to the damn races today.
What my brain mashed those approximate sounds into: I am so glad I'm not a god damned racist today.

I just decided to buy a new Macquarie Dictionary today and I’m filled with unreasonable anticipation. Unless you’re Australian you’ve probably never heard of the Macquarie, but it’s a truly magnificent encyclopedic dictionary.
I bought my last edition in 1994. I figure I better buy one now in case they never print another edition after the 2009.

What was terrible about this exchange was that Howard completely avoided the question. Hicks’ question was simple and distilled it meant “Are human rights for everyone, or just for the privileged few?”

Symbolism is wasted on the angry.
Last night, former Prime Minister John Howard appeared on the television show Q+A, a forum-style program where audience members and people from around the country may ask questions of panellists.
Among young people (and indeed much of the populace) John Howard is a reviled figure. He led Australia into the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, appeared to not do enough to thwart Hansonism, and had what...
I guess Occam’s Razor would say it’s much more likely to be me unfollowing people in a fit of drunken pique. Fortunately, Tumblr is buggy enough that I can reasonably suggest that it’s not me, it’s Tumblr.
It seems like either Tumblr is unfollowing people without me noticing, or I come home drunk and randomly unfollow people.

I'll compromise. Up to a point.
This post is mostly me getting my thoughts straight. You may wish to ignore it. More dick jokes and pointless rants will follow soon enough.
For a few years now I’ve been spending a portion of my time each month reading proposals to conduct human trials for drugs and implantable devices. I do this because my local hospital is a teaching hospital and a centre of significant clinical...
Do Australians actually like Foster's?
destructible:
…or is it like Molson is to Canadians, or Stella is to the Belgians, the massest of mass-produced national lagers, but somehow marketed in other countries as being slightly posh?
I haven’t seen Fosters drunk by anyone here in over a decade. Like most beers brewed by CUB, it has a terrible yeast culture and is made using only the cheapest hops. Despite being a nation of...
It’s just the tagline.
Ugh, Instagram.
I hate Instagram. I’ve never used it and I hate it. I like a lot of the photographs people have taken with it, and I hate it. I know it is irrational, and I hate it.
I hate it because it evidently appends “taken with Instagram” to every post made with it to Facebook and Tumblr and it feels like it’s turned my friends into shills for an app.
Sometimes, I get angry...
I am so glad I don't smoke pot.
There’s a new tv station here called 7mate. It’s targeted directly at Gen X men, and my god it is awesome. During the afternoon it shows reruns of Magnum PI, Rockford Files, Knight Rider, The A-Team and other cool stuff like that. At nights it shows American Dad, Family Guy, and shows where people do actual work like drive trucks or deep sea fishing and stuff.
I’m thinking of...

This case troubles me greatly.
A sigh, and a compliment.
The way I think of it is, there are things that we like to think we’re good at. Things that we sometimes imagine that we’re better at than other people. We do them, and people respond to them, and we feel good about what it is that we do.
Then there are two classes of people who are better than you at these things. The first group is the people who are better than you, but their...
