Ain't Love Grand

On the bus today got this older couple .. by older I mean maybe late 40’s early 50's kinda hipster couple who you know have just found new love. They're dressed smartly in casual going out date wear and choose the seat in front of me. Immediately they're ka-noodling and chatting still in the glow of the happy early days of their new relationship. Is'nt that cute (vomit) I think looking out the window.  Looking back I  notice this black thing in her hair as she sexy-flicks it turning to converse with to her new spunky beau. Its about 3-4cms long .. hmmm is thats a funny hair clip?  No wait.. its moving!!

On the Buses

Its time for a whinge today about public transport.  You’ll see the gamete of human behaviour on buses and trains.  I think I’ve just bout seen it all. 

On the buses there are some common and definable bus character types. (Public Transport Personality Types - PTPT) These are just a few of my personal favourites:

Throwing Down the Mantime Gauntlet - with Daniel Romeo

With so much negative PR and many health "expert" bandwagon jumpers criticizing the Colonel’s breadless burger as ‘heart attack’ slops or ethically irresponsible. I thought its about time someone who has actually eaten one review it!  So I drove my manwagon to the nearest KFC drivethru  to get 3 Mantimes for objective eating. You can catch up on that review here.
 
At some point in every red blooded man's life, testing your stomach's elasticity limit is an essential part of manhood. Discovering the ability to excel in this field amongst fellow men is like realising you have manjedi powers. Eating 5 KFC Mantimes is a feat that requires the force to be strong both before, during and most definitely after the experience!

A Mantime Lunch - with Daniel Romeo

KFC's "The Double". Make that a triple double for me. I  mixed it up a little for variety. I got 1 Fillet mantime and 2 Zingers. So how did it go… The Zinger mantimes are better as the bbq sauce in the Fillet mantime is too bland compared to that of the fiery sauce in the zinger. Maybe you could request the fiery sauce to be in the Fillet as to spice it up for a maximum mantime enjoyment throughout the indulgence..

Dee Oh EM OH!!

Its not everyday that you learn your nickname-sake is a massive internet and TV sensation.. in Japan and the USA.  Domo-kun is a small brown open-mouthed monster hatched from an egg who lives with a wise old rabbit. As I googled and learned more about Domo I could'nt help feeling a little like Homer in the "Mr Sparkle" episode. Apart from simply Domo's appearance, the similarities were too uncanny to be just a coincidence. 

All Woman are "Delilahs"

Recently I was debating with a young female friend of mine about how all woman are conniving cat like creatures who can't be trusted since the day Delilah screwed Samson.  All woman are Delilahs!  "Whose Delilah?" she blankly responded. I then had to explain the story in her lingo.. I think .. which was reasonably humorous. It went something like this...

Once upon a time long ago there was this dude named Samson.  Samson was this buff kick arse special forces army warrior dude who got super kung foo kick arse powers from God. He was tougher than Chuck Norris and once killed 1000 enemy soldiers with just his bare ass. The secret  to his strength was his hair. God told his mum to never cut it and he would have unlimited power up turbo button.

Bassist Fail!

and here's a couple more

Thank You Today Tonight! - (Moopy Rant)

I was lucky enough to see some of the breaking news on Today Tonight’s program this evening. If you thought you’d seen it all after the exhilarating segment about the wonders of shopping on something I believe they call the “int-er-net”, brace yourself.

What came next was possibly one of the most informing viewing I have ever seen. There were 3 “experts” (they even did the walk! through big glass doors with wind blowing in their hair – definitely experts) who were speaking of the troubles we face as a customer these days. Aghhhh...Customer service...you just can’t get the service you need these days!

Fear not! These ladies on Today Tonight had the answer!!

Food Slutting

The Nandos Micro Burger

I'm a big a food slut. I'm always on the hunt for a good feed and any excuse to knick off with a friend or two and talk crap over lunch. Particularly during the week at work! Before every "foodie" with a camera and a blog was religiously capturing and critiquing their every meal I was food slutting my way around Perth and Subiaco. Our objective however was to help answer the burning "whats for lunch man?" dead end question we aimlessly rebound off each other. "I dunno what do you feel like?"  ... " I dunno man.. healthy or filthy?".  "I dunno wot do you want?".....  The net result being you all can't decide on anywhere to go!!

Sleasey Sushi Strategies

Sushi. I don't get it. It stinks, tastes like crap yet every girl in the world loves it.  Along with salt and vinegar chips its one of the female culinary modern mysteries I will never understand.  I'll have my meat, chicken and fish cooked and hot thanks!  But its healthy right? mmmparasites worms chemicals.. all for 3 dorra fiffy - I'm sure they're using quality ingredients. Not to mention that shit could errrr KILL YOU!! I had the stinky pleasure of fetching a packet of sushi for a workmate for lunch and my eyes were opened...chicks dig guys who buy sushi?!

The Zombie Storm!!

Chaos!! Maddness! Mayhem!! the worst storm in 50 years!!!  Apart from some loss of power, damage to cars and houses, thankfully everyone is safe.... well until the Aqua Zombies appeared!  Last I heard the northern coastal suburbs have fallen into Zombie hands. Masses of Zombies are mustering near Observation City in Scarborough with a probable assault on the Perth CBD at nightfall should they be able to get the zombie shit together. 

Great TV Adverts

These Toyota TV adverts still crack me up every time!!

Tangled Torment!

Tangles! yes I frikken hate them!  Whether it be wires, guitar leads, headphones, blinds puller thingos, oranges..  If its possible for it to get tangled, it will for me!!  Its probably the one thing in this world which sends me over the edge above everything else. 
Its up there with that one last bolt stopping you from removing your the gearbox  - the one which is now melted into the metal somehow.  That instant fury of unnecessarily stubbing your toe.   Whenever Oprah Winfrey opens that stupid mouth of hers. 

The Creative Song Writing Process

This is much like how we jam out new songs in Stella Kitchen

Bus Characters

I  have the pleasure of catching Perth public transport to work.  Thankfully there are always plenty  of crazy characters and what I’ve come to define as "Public Transport Personality Types" (PTPT) to entertain me. More on them later. The best thing bout riding on the buses has been that just when I think I've seen it all, someone joyfully comes along and lifts the wacked out bar. This mornings Olympic like effort belongs to the middle aged swinger like couple who sat in front of me.
