Driving Miss Daisy
“Victoria’s top traffic cop concedes the state has a long way to go to match European driver training as he backed the Premier’s refusal to adopt Mark Skaife’s proposal to raise speed limits…”
Hey Ken Lay & John Bumbles, speed DOESN’T kill. (Stupid / Useless) people who can’t handle the speed they’re doing, no matter what the speed is, DO kill. And they don’t take any notice of the speed limits anyway. Duhhhhh.
Ah, election time.. it’ll be “bye bye, my gravy train pie”…

Up shit creek in a broken boat..
“The family of US solo sailor Abby Sunderland are seeking public donations to save her crippled boat Wild Eyes from the Indian Ocean, despite claims they don’t have the money to compensate the Australian Government for her $300,000 rescue…”
Wow, hey Abby.. FUCK OFF you leech.

The grass is green, greener, greenest
There’s been quite a few articles focused on Foxconn lately, specifically the bad press about their supposed ’sweatshop’ factories in China, where iPhones and other peripherals are assembled.
You’ve probably read about it already, yeah? 10 employees committed suicide. Because it’s just soooo bad.

Ok i’ll validate my sarcasm now… read this one.

I’m not saying that getting paid a couple hundred dollars for working 18 hour days in a factory is good, but i’d sure as hell prefer a job like that than one where i’m scrounging rubbish dumps for crap.. or getting kidnapped in China and made to work in Brick Kilns for nothing..
Perspective.

Canada?
So… Canada.
They gave us Celine Dion… now they give us Justin Beiber!
No wonder no one takes Canada seriously.

How (who) do you do?
It’s kinda weird when you start sort of dating someone, and you find out he used to date one of your ex’s… lol.
Also, thoroughly amusing when you compare notes and have both independently come to the conclusion that he was an arsehole.

Who are you?
More to the point, who am I?
Yes I have returned, but perhaps not as I once was.
A little older, a little wiser. Or am I? More cautious, less trusting, maybe.

Oh yeah, umm hi.
Busy doing lots of stuff, but at the same time, somehow managing to waste time doing nothing. But i’m not unhappy about that, really.
I should really do some back-issue posts for the last 9 months. Lots of fun.
Random muse for the day:
It’s weird how some people can be at an academic level where they are tutoring other people in a specialised technical field, and yet their grasp of the English language which they use to convey this knowledge is nothing short of atrocious.
Powerpoint does have a spell checker, use it.

Lol.. people on manhunt are funny sometimes, like this one:
anyone want to meet up ? gam or gwm, all stats details in profile
simple, nice guy looking for fun with similar guys – of course can be more than just a hookup, just dont expect much from guys on manhunt … haha
looking for asian (preference) or aussie guys under 35 only ! (amazing people who cant read) also guys who are lean – fit and smooth please ![]()
So I sent a wink, and got this in reply:
“thanks mate, but not really into rice queens.”
Ooh, my mistake, he must want the other kind of asian-attracted-caucasians who aren’t rice queens.
LOL…
Update!
I got this email back..

FYI any guy who puts in his profile : ‘only into asians’ = rice queen … go look up the definition
And, it may come as a surprise that there are other white guys out there who like guys of various races – without resorting to pathetic race based preferences.
Can’t deal with the fact that you’re a rice queen ? … go talk to a psychiatrist – or better still, tell someone who cares – just stay out of my face !
Lol.. sounds like someone’s got some deeper issues!
P.S. I wouldn’t date someone just because they’re asian, as anyone who knows me would know. (I wouldn’t date this clown, no matter what he looks like!) But you know what happens when you make ASSumptions, eh
