Putting the blog in bogan.

Commentary

I don't think I've ever heard such poor commentating as in the eagles game today.

That is true

I hate when people say "this is true" rather than "that is true". I also hate people.

I've hated it since day dot

I hate the expression "day dot". Why don't people say "day zero"?

Poem

I really like this poem.

St Kilda

http://afl.com.au/default.asp?pg=news&spg=display&articleid=282483

It's incredible to see St Kilda with 3000 more members than Richmond or Carlton.

Fair enough

I reckon most of the time people that say fair enough they mean the opposite.

Fridge

My fridge that I bought for $50 is massive.

Freo

In what way are Freo a "genuine top four contender" (from the AFL website round 15 ponderings)? They're a genuine top eight contender.

Deja vu

I no longer just get deja vu about things or situations, I now get deja vu about having had deja vu about things or situations.

Dog

Why does the dog in the Windows XP search window read the book backwards while the search is going on?

Movie

Hollywood complains about how people downloading movies is hurting their attendances (I'm not certain that they complain about this, but I assume they do) but I think the crap selection of films they put out is much more to blame. There haven't been that many films that I've actually wanted to see at the movies the last couple of years, and most of those that I have have been shit.

Roo Generation

After all the media harping on for much of the year about how the roos weren't getting any members this year, and how we were going to have to move to the gold coast to survive, for the second year in a row we've got a record number of members (no thanks to Dan who refused to join).

Older workers

I don't understand why businesses are so reluctant to hire anyone over 55. It's not as if anyone younger is likely to stay at your company for more than 2-5 years in today's climate. Is it because they're worried about having to pay for more sick leave?

Liam

A couple of days ago I got a text message from Liam saying how he hated how poms are always complaining that it's too hot. Then yesterday he sent me one saying that it was very hot but that he wasn't complaining. This morning he sent me one saying that it was too hot and why don't Poms have air conditioning.

KFC

Where do KFC get their dinner rolls from? They're so nice.

They didn't fucking kiss

Fucking hell. I just watched High School Musical. I think it was fucking shit. I sat through the whole thing thinking that the couple would at least kiss at the end but they didn't fucking kiss. Fucking Disney.
