Popliteal Fossa!
Nooooo.... and the bums don't follow ya round the room either I suppose - I'll never trust Peter Cook & Dudley Moore again...
Sadly all I know comes from either them or Carl Barks Disney comics and Tintin... -
is that a torch in your trousers?
it can now be revealed that shining light on "the-place-with-no-name" (the back of the knee) does not adjust mammalian circadian clocksbut hearing words like this
(just on the RNZ news):
"a solar powered space yacht
has just set sail for Venus"
sure does spark up the spirit! -
...then you might be avoiding science.
whoa - that woo woo is relating
only to the paranormal...
I was talking more paramour
and ne'er the swain shall metebut what with all this talk of Morte mag
and other necromantic dalliances,
who's to say what is normal?(I did like Ambrose Bierce's definition of wit though:
WIT, n. The salt with which the American humorist spoils his intellectual cookery by leaving it out.
Source: THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)) -
"To wit" or "to whit"?
wit
(to wit) that is to say (used to make clearer or more specific something already said or referred to) : the textbooks show an irritating parochialism, to wit an almost total exclusion of papers not in English. ORIGIN: Old English witan, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch weten and German wissen, from an Indo-European root shared by Sanskrit veda ‘knowledge’ and Latin videre ‘see.’of course if you are an owl it's too wit too woo
but if your aim is to woo - you may just be after a whit on the side... using The Reduction Agents may help a whittle bit too - hope that helps :- ) -
Hear! Hear! No surprises at all. Fucking horrible little grubs is about the size of them.
looking forward to the latest edition of
New Zealand Business Who's Hu HuEnglish signals asset sales.
from Stuff:
''It seems to me, and I have checked this, that there is a strong demand among the mums and dads for a Kiwi investment model and if we put product into the market people would buy it. Would I be right about that?''
that Telecom experiment worked well...
(didn't they hit an all time low this week?)
that must be very reassuring for the "mums and Dads" out there...Maybe a new company - BryerLees a real floater for all the sedimental fools out there...
-
And in related tardiness Bennett notices that NGOs funded by her Ministry are likely to be nailed by the GST increase.
from the Radio NZ Site:
Federation of Family Budgeting Services chief executive Raewyn Fox says the not-for-profit sector's expenditure is mainly on items for which GST cannot be claimed back, such as wages and mileage, so there will be a slight increase in spending.
I didn't think there was GST on wages??
-
I was reminded of this tremendous painting. The online version hardly does justice to the huge original in which you can practically see the wind blowing through the long grass.
...apparently inspired by the Mortuary Chapel* in the Barbadoes Street Cemetery in Chch - Sutton Rulez!
</snap!>*no longer there...
-
...on the midday news yeasterday actually said that 50k was the average income.
they should raise their game!

Careful with that bike Eugene...
Maybe you're gradually eroding it with all that cycling and it's getting less steep.
he says:
'e rode his bike up dis mount
you say:
his bike erodes dis mount
I say:
peak toil indeed..."Imagine a gigantic rocky mountain at the beginning of kalpa, approximately 16 x 16 x 16 miles (dwarfing Mt. Everest). You take a small piece of silk and wipe the mountain once every 100 years. According to the Buddha, the mountain will be completely depleted even before the kalpa ends."
don't be messing with kalpas though,
bad sh*t happens at their ends...some of these Sanskrit concepts leave Lost for dead (or not, as the case may be)
but I'm not sure where this televised vomiting and glorification of binge drinking takes place?
hmmm, The Young Ones, and most of Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmondson's oeuvre spring to mind...
but help is at hand at the tv vomiting hall of shame -
does anyone else (stuck watching in Real Time) get confused with some of the same actors in Lost appearing in Flash Forward immediately before...?
especially as they seem to share many plot propositions (favoured by their creator) - non linear time, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, ok, towers instead of wells, but...
head. hurts.
