In the beginning, God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach

combined with an abundance of green, yellow and red vegetables. He did this so

that men & women would live long and healthy lives.



Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Fonterra, Kentucky fried, Pizza

Hut and Star Bucks for doughnut dunking. And Satan said, "You want hot fudge

with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" And Woman said; "I'll have one too... with

sprinkles." And low and behold they gained 5 Kilos.



And God created the healthful yoghurt that Woman might keep her figure that Man

found so fair.



And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and

combined them. And woman went from size 12 to size 16 or more.



God said, " Try my fresh green garden salad."



And Satan added crumbled Blue cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And

Man & Woman unfastened their belts and enjoyed the repast.



God then said "I have sent you heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil in which

to cook them."



And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut shrimp, butter-dipped crayfish

chunks, and breast of chicken, fried in batter. He then produced steaks so big

each needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.



Then God brought forth potatoes, naturally low in fat and brimming with

potassium and good nutrition.



Satan peeled off the healthful skin, sliced the starchy centre into chips and

deep-fried them in animal fats. He then enhanced the taste by adding copious

quantities of salt. And Man packed on more kilos.



God then brought forth running shoes so that his children might lose those extra

kilos.



And Satan introduced remote controls on television sets so Man would not have to

exert himself to change channels. And Man & Woman laughed and cried before the

flickering light and started wearing stretchy lycra jogging suits.



God then gave lean beef so Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy

his appetite.



And Satan created McDonalds and the double cheeseburger. Then Satan said, "You

want fries with that?" And Man replied. "Yes! And super size them; it is good".

And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.



God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery.



Satan chuckled and created the Australian Health Service system.

These are actual lines from military performance appraisals or OERs (Officer

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Got into the gene pool while the lifeguard wasn't watching.

A room temperature IQ.

Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together.

A gross ignoramus -- 144 times worse than an ordinary ignoramus.

A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on.

A prime candidate for natural deselection.

Bright as Alaska in December.

One-celled organisms out score him in IQ tests.

Donated his body to science before he was done using it.

Fell out of the family tree.

Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

Has two brains; one is lost and the other is out looking for it.

He's so dense, light bends around him.

If brains were taxed, he'd get a rebate.

If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

If you give him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change.

If you stand close enough to him, you can hear the ocean.

It's hard to believe that he beat out 1,000,000 other sperm.

One neuron short of a synapse.

Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled.

Takes him 1 ½ hours to watch 60 minutes.

Wheel is turning, but the hamster is dead.

I just felt I had to say that I hate Trucker Hats - and the try-hard posers that wear them.

BTW - Vintage doesn't make something special. All it means is that it's a second-hand item you've just paid more for than if you'd bought it new.

T I S M A R E S H I T F'n Awesome

Saturday night, both Josh and myself had the good fortune of seeing TISM live in concert again. IMNSHO it was a great concert. Rocking tunes, and insane audience, full-frontal male nudity - the show had it all. I managed to end up front-row centre of the mosh pit and learned a valuable lesson - never take your eyes off insane band members or you risk getting a boot in the face when they decide to stage-dive. Of course, part of the humour of the night was watching the long-suffering roadies repeatedly diving into the crowd to rescue said band-members from the ravening hordes. It was like watching the Christians being thrown to the lions the way the crowd attempted to tear every shred of clothing from the band - it's sort of a tradition.

Note to self: remember to turn phone off next time of mosh pit will cause random dialing of people in your phone book for you.

Rant Retraction

Some of you may remember a certain rant I'd made about 'I, Robot'.

I actually went to see it, and I can happily say that the trailer made the movie look worse than it was. I actually think it falls into the realm of a Good Movie - I've got one little quibble with it, and that's all. And for a movie based on something I like (the credits say, "Suggested by Isaac Asimov's book" - heh) only having one small quibble is a Good Thing.

The quibble is only this - magic spoiler ink - the US military are apparently tree-hugging pacifists in 2035. The reason given for why they don't show up to stop the robot rampages are they rely heavily on US Robotics technology. Never mind that robots can't harm humans, so would be almost completely useless for military technology. Obviously someone in the brass thought it would be a PR coup if the US military inflicted no collateral damage or friendly fire...

But this is only minor, and doesn't take too much tweaking to save the main plot point, i.e. the military doesn't show up in time. I liked it. Two thumbs up.

And Dr. Asimov lies peaceful in his grave.

I wandered into a local bookstore today and came across this tome.

And I thought to myself "That's a good effort from a guy who I'm pretty sure died in 2001". I double-checked the cover, and to my unsurpise discovered that despite the largest type on the cover being Robert Ludlum's, the book is actually written by a completely different guy. Must be from the same publisher that brought us "Tom Clancy's Op Centre"...
