Generally I like it!
I really hope this is a continuing theme. This is the greatest entry on hogfish ever.
I think the moral of this story is never, ever, get engaged.
Well, lately all Dewi has said to me has been complaints about his job, or boasts about the size of his monitor, so probably won’t get another like this for a while.
Dewi writes excellent poetry!
rofflelol at outback steakhouse…
geeze dewi, you forgot to mention about how much better OpenBulb – the open replacement for microsoft’s proprietary bulb replacement technology – is.
i hear it has a regular expression parser so you can find and replace all bulbs of a certain type at once.
how about;
* a piece of ginger: “ginger-bells”
* a garden hoe “hoe-hoe-hoe, merry christmas”
* a red clown’s nose “merry christmas, love rudolph”
* frankensence or myrrh “couldn’t afford the gold”
I could imagine casting that relative into the ocean, and as they are drowing, throwing them what appears to be a floatie ring, but is in fact a heavey metal christmas wreath that reads “Happy yule-TIDE.”
GET IT?
Actually, maybe that would work better if you tied them to a stick at low tide, so they drowned slowly over 12 hours, saarlac style. Then you could bury them with the wreath.
Or even better, put a dogturd in a bag and scrawl “Happy life day!” on the front of it, in nikko.
also, merry trishmas!
I have two Burmese cats…my babies. I am off tomorrow for 5 days for xmas as my hubby is working away and I am going to visit him…so I had a quick game of chasy with both the cats. They also really enjoy a good game of fetch with a small toy mouse of scrunched up sheet of paper.
I know you will get years of joy from your new friend.
Best wishes.
Kirsty
Hmm. I think there are going to be SERIOUS repercussions for the poor, poor people in your team on the project. If I were them, I’d construct a really large/tall barrier around you so that you can’t claw or gnaw on them.
Seriously though, it’s a fine idea. I once went off coffee (ye gad!) for three whole months and lost about 3 kgs. Well, I also went mostly sugar free for that timeframe as well, so it’s all good.
Exercise is also really important.
Hm perhaps this is why I haven’t been approached to test anything yet.
Cutting out sugary foods means cutting out caffeine for me too, because I can’t stand sugarfree drinks and I don’t like coffee without sugar.
I’ll get to the exercise bit later…
Oh, cute! April already has two toy mousies and a big stringy thingy on a stick. And a cat tunnel which she is completely disinterested in.
I’ve been very impressed. Not even a single snake or piece of chocolate. Of course, now the fun is starting to wane because your own will power is building up.
I even drank a sugarless coffee today! And it actually didn’t taste all that bad. Don’t think I could drink it black though.
I’m showing Paul how cool the comments are.
That’s kinda like I was with Diet Coke. I used to be a mega Coke fiend but had to cut SOMETHING sugar-baed out of my life; drinking litres of it a day I figured it was the thing.
But I still needed caffeine – so switched to DC – foul stuff. Took me months, but eventually I got used to it. Now I drink normal Coke and think IT’S the one that’s foul. Coke Zero is “ok” but I suspect that’s what I would have gone to if it had existed when I did the switch.
I lost 1/2 kg in aweek by stopping all junk food snacks. Takes us oldies longer to lose it I suppose. Drank a lot of water which seemed to help too. Exercise takes a little longer to get into in this heatwave!
Hey I didn’t realise I was your blog friend! Yay!
DAZ U R MY BEST FREND 4EVA LOL!!1111

Why not just change the text colour so it doesn’t clash?
Whoa. It just keeps on going, doesn’t it? That’s really catchy. I swear I’ve heard that before.
Well, I guess you were right in the first post. Couldn’t agree more.
Although, nothing’s changed in the marketing and/or business strategy of big music for quite some time. I reckon music lovers have always been at the butt end of pricing and packaging (especially in the ~20 years of commercial CD production).
There have been rumours of one or two big labels considering embracing legal mp3s (no DRM), but wouldn’t that just make parts of Vista obsolete? LOL
Stupid DRM. DRM isn’t to deter hackers (they break it eventually), it’s to punish everyone else – honest consumers. Let’s unite and burn down the DRM village!
Yeah! I’ll bring the petrol!
Incidentally, after all of that, one of my songs wouldn’t even play. I just got a message saying that the license couldn’t be acquired and that I would have to purchase another license. Seriously? I have to buy another one just because the song didn’t work the first time? I tried downloading it again but it still didn’t work.
Online Music Purchase Sites are like onions, they burn your eyes, give you indigestion, leave an unpleasant taste in your mouth, and reduce you to tears. Also they smell funny and are a little to french for my liking.
serves you right for paying for stuff – i often download stuff i don’t even want just to punish the greedy monopolists!
EAT FUCKING ROCKS PEOPLE!

POOR OIL ON A DUCK!
Awesome post. Hilarious, and so true.
I don’t actually mind the occasional head hunter call, makes me feel wanted
2-3 calls a week is quite excessive though…
Have you installed the askimet plugin? takes a few minutes as you have to register – but after I installed it, I have not had to manually flag anything as spam since (it catches hundreds too). It enabled me to turn off comment moderation.
Just thought I’d leave a comment and see if it gets deleted accidentally
How goes the tatt?
Nope, didn’t get deleted this time, although I did take my sweet time getting around to moderating the comments. I really need to put in one of those “enter the number from this image” thingos. I’m so out of date.
Yeah, didn’t you see the green “Akismet spam” icon in the middle column? It refreshes every month, which makes that number all the scarier. At the time of writing this, the count was past 43000.
I really need to get me one of those “enter the number in this image” thingos.
so leaving a comment….
Please keep in mind that one of the reCAPTCHA words can’t be verified. You’ll find that if you type random jibberish, reCAPTCHA will correctly reject your answer.
Trish, I think I’ve noticed a steady increase in the unreadability of reCAPTCHA challenges over the last few months.
My theory is, the easy interpretations are all done and we’re now getting the words neither OCR nor even humans can consistently interpret?
Yup, it would be great if it did that. But for me, I can type in random gibberish, and reCAPTCHA accepts it as a legitimate answer.
Thanks for the hint . im bout to try it out
Yup, you can get Gold Class movie vouchers – I’ve been given some for Hoyts La Premiere before. Always a good gift
My idea for gifts this season are the awesome dancing cheerleader hippos that they have in Target at the moment – you press the button and they start dancing to that classic 80’s hit “Mickey”! Totally brilliant!
You are mental and I love it.
I love crazy Trish ideas
There’s a chap on Edward Street in Brisbane who busks with a headless tambourine. Completely out of time, and completely lacking any musical merit. He’s basically a homeless drunk who has hit upon the idea of passing himself off as a struggling musician in order to bolster his stream of donations.
Maybe you should teach your kid to play one of those. Combine the elements of musicality with public sympathy, and you’ve hit upon an idea that will allow your child to support you well into your retirement. A sagacious move that will leave you enjoying your twilight years in relative prosperity!
THE MAN DOESN’T WANT YOU TO HAVE 24 CONSECUTIVE HOURS OF SUNLIGHT.
seriously, i’ve always wished for my superpower to be the ability to flick cars off the road with my mind.
Human excrement is an obvious example. Another example is doughnuts.
When I first moved to Sydney I found that listening to Michael Buble in the car helped the road rage quite a bit. I guess any calm music is good. Anything to try and take your mind off all the frakking idiots on the bloody road!
wish I’d read this *before* Christmas
Cannot find the Find Issues in CCCleaner need to remove/uninstall the last part of CA- the Parental Controls but I have lost my administrator password abd it wont let me get rid of it
Absolutely right.
And although normally you might consider weddings too slow-moving to make a suitable stimulus, at this moment gay people wouldn’t take their time tying the knot, after seeing the doors slam shut so quickly in California!
if you want to have a good service you better read first the terms and conditions of the product that you want to avail… I think its commonsense to read first the manual before you call the customer service… if you don’t wanted to suspend your account don’t used a credit card that doesn’t belong to you we all know that its FRAUD right… read first and understand what you are purchasing… so you won’t have problems in the future.. SIMPLE AS THAT!!! ITS SELF EXPLANATORY!!! OR MAYBE THE PROBLEM ITS NOT THE PRODUCT BUT THE DUMB PEOPLE WHO USES IT….
you are funny, as usual. maybe when i have kids you can teach them those lessons
Cheers, crazy person!
It’s also commonsense to read the article before posting comments.
Well, first a quick point – it’s actually a misconception that the world was first discovered to be round by scientists in the middle ages. Like so many other things, this was something that was lost during the dark ages, but scientists (or philosophers as we called them then) of the ancient world had angered and been persecuted by pre-Christian churches for exactly the same thing.
I think it’s interesting that people talk about science like it’s a belief system. I guess that’s the way most people experience it, but there is a fundamental difference: with enough dedication and time, all of science is open to everyone. Of course, most people don’t have that time or dedication, and to master every corner of science would take many lifetimes, but the point is the option is there. The end result is that you don’t have 1 or 10 or even 100 top scientists – there are tens of thousands from every country and walk of life. Being such an open and decentralised system makes it one of the most trustable, if not *the* most trustable on the planet.
That said, there are two types of mystery in science: the things we don’t know now, and the things we may never know. Both of these exist, though the former is pushed back over time, and no decent scientist will deny they both exist. That’s just the way things are; science just does its best. (Religions claim to be searching for truth, of course, but the problem with ancient revealed truth backed by faith is that it never improves, never answers real questions, and starts to look very antiquated)
As for “strong” and “weak” agnosticism, I avoid the agnostic label for the same reasons you do, but the truth is that all scientists and skeptics are technically agnostic on everything, because they are always ready to change their minds in response to new evidence. But I am also atheist because I cannot believe Gods.
At the end of the day, you can’t prove a negative, and there’s an infinite variety of supernatural possibilities, from the tens of thousands believed throughout history, to the thousands believed today, to the handful of major ones that dominate, to whatever you come up with yourself. But they are mostly incompatible, with a lot of contention for positions such as “supreme creator”, “master of the rains”, etc. Aside from the fickle fashions of the populations we live within, there is no way to choose between them, and if you water down the specifics enough to accomodate everyone (and/or to accomodate the discoveries of science for that matter), there is really nothing left beyond an indistinct “spirit” or “oneness” at most.
So we can debate the philosophical ramifications and levels of “agnosticism”, but for all practical purposes we are atheist.
LOL. Glad husband is relatively well trained.
