Junk food cravings

Some people take their junk food seriously.  Especially in New Zealand it seems.

Two men walked into a petrol station near Auckland. One of them went to the pie warmer, picked up several pies and placed one inside his jacket. He then asked the attendant if he could have one pie for free but was told he would have to pay for all of them.   He storms off in a huff, then goes off and talks to his mate in the car outside, and decides he really does want his free pies.  But the attendant has locked the doors of the shop. 

The man returned to the car where he and his friend decided they would find another way to enter the store. They drove the car through the door, one of them picks up his pies off the counter and they do a runner.  A police chase followed, ended with them running over some police road spikes.

Seriously, a service station pie.  These guys have an instant insanity defence.  When has anyone ever had a decent servo pie.  Soggy, lukewarm, meatless, yes, but decent eating, never.

And in related junk food cravings news, also in New Zealand, a man flew into a rage after staff at a Wendy’s restaurant mucked up his order. He allegedly smashed tills, flipped tables and assaulted a police officer who responded to the incident. After being apprehended he was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries he had suffered during the arrest.

This one is more understandable.  I mean who hasn’t felt like throttling the idiot teenager who screws up their order at a takeaway.  I get pissed off with repeating orders twice or more, thinking to myself  “do I not speak English?” or “fuck you, listen” or “maybe if you concentrated on your job you wouldn’t fuck my order up”.

Damn hot!

birsdvillehot

It’s been damn hot here, too.

Only one thing wrong with that sign, the beer is XXXX.  But beggars can’t be choosers, so they say.  (also, wouldn’t 0.2 degrees make it more of a beer slushie than a drink?)

Who, me?

Had to laugh at this one.

art-croc2-420x0

A crocodile at a wildlife park in New South Wales, Australia, grabbed a lawnmower from workmen during routine park maintenance and dragged it into his pool.

The five-metre crocodile (his name is Elvis) had charged staff at the Australian Reptile Park at Gosford after they went into its enclosure about 8am today. The men – who used their lawnmowers as a barrier when the crocodile lunged – managed to escape unharmed.

A rescue mission was mounted a few hours later to retrieve the mower, which Elvis had dragged underwater.

I reckon Elvis is being falsely accused over this.  I mean look at his halo, which can be clearly seen in the photo.

And no way would I ever have gone in to rescue the mower.  No matter how distracted the crocodile was.  A long rope and a grappling hook would have had to do the job for me.  Or else Elvis could keep it – he might need to mow the bottom of his pool every now and then.

OK, drugs are bad for you … more proof

Namely, methamphetamine.  Ask Robert Edwards De Shields, and his landlords’ pet chihuahua puppy. In March the owners found the dog almost lifeless, in pain and in shock, with De Shields in the garage.  A veterinarian later found traces of asphyxiation, as well as serious injuries to the animal’s rectum and internal organs. We can all figure out what he did to the dog.  No doubt it involved him getting dog shit on his dick. The [...] Continue Reading…

Ye Olde Farte

I think that having my eldest child move out of home to go live in another state makes me officially an old fart. A year and a half or so ago, I thought she’d be living at home till she was about 30, but she fell in love and has upped and left home as of today. But I got custody of the dog.  Win!!!

Oh fuck! Minister swears on TV

Outrage! Shock! Horror! The minister in charge of Australia’s broadcasting standards has dropped the F-word live on national television during children’s viewing hours. Communications Minister Stephen Conroy was answering an AAP question about the risk for investment in Australia at the National Press Club in Canberra that was being shown live on the ABC today.  His offending remarks: "In terms of sovereign risk, I love the debate about sovereign risk,” [...] Continue Reading…

Make your kids proud

Do like two English fathers did.  Go to their kids’ school nativity play.  Get into a fight with each other.  One of them bite the other’s finger off.  Go dads!

And this is what we’re fighting for?

Thirty two Australian soldiers have died in Afghanistan, and thousands of others from the US and numerous other countries.  Some of these at least have been the victims of treachery by those they were there to help, by training and mentoring them. Is it worth it? You have to wonder when things like this continue to happen there. A woman has been in jail for 2 years, having been imprisoned for adultery after having been raped [...] Continue Reading…

Twit

Readers would have noticed my posting on this blog has thinned out considerably since I first started.  I blame Twitter which gives me an immediate outlet for things I would previously have blogged about.  I wonder how other bloggers have found their blog output since they’ve been tweeting.

Wonder if I’ll get my blogging inspiration back some day soon?

Bargain hunting

It seems that some Americans have taken the hunting part of bargain hunting literally in their approach to the post Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, sales. In a Los Angeles Walmart store a woman fended off her rivals for a cheap TV by pepper spraying them.  20 people were treated for injuries from the incident, many complaining of burning in their throats and skin and eye irritations. But it gets better.   In gun crazy America, there were the [...] Continue Reading…
