Appalling? You’ll regret that! You all will!

1990’s Atlanta Braves second baseman Mark Lemke was known to his teammates as “Dirt”

I realised how much I loved The Larry Sanders Show when I was watching Larry’s P.A. Beverly deal with something ridiculous and I caught myself thinking, “I don’t know what they’re paying you but it’s not enough.”

Be careful out there!
The other day I picked up a book called Fortunate Son and was about to buy it when I had a closer look and put it right back. What a bizarre title for the subject.

Had one adventure in February

All day at work I felt like someone was squeezing the outside of my left bicep, hard enough to be uncomfortable. I got home and decided to take a nap at 5.00pm. I laid down for 15 […]

All her life my mother had a very narrow view on what women should be like. According to her they should all have been 40ish, with three kids and be “pleasingly plump.”

We lived near the school and this very […]

I remember someone asked that particular Bob what the significance of the numbers were and he said it was the longitude of Perth and he seemed surprised the question needed to be asked. Who here doesn’t know the […]

Well I thought it amazing

The other day I saw a boy no more than seven years old wearing an Autobahn t-shirt, your classic blue cover version. I was amazed by the fact they made Kraftwerk shirts in kids sizes.

That shitty whistle on Highway 61, or is that so obvious it goes without saying?

About 20 years ago Eric Burden toured Australia for the first time in decades and was told the same thing so many times by fans they changed the name of the tour to…

“I thought you were dead”

Q-Was Aussie TV that bad in the 70’s (and into the future)?
A-Yes

My strongest memory of Molly would be the time he said something like…

“Everyone says I praise everything and never do a bad review, well […]

Some fun facts about Tasmania!

1/It is home to two of the very best golf courses in the world. Namely Barnbougle and Lost Farm, they are side by side on the north coast and are so popular companies exist just […]

Sometimes I think Steven Wight exaggerates for comic effect. He claims to have been kicked out of a cinema for bringing in his own food. He thought it unfair as “I hadn’t had a barbeque in ages” I don’t think […]

Like all thing eccentricity is in the eye of the beholder.

Einstein only ever purchased socks that were the same colour as all his other socks. He said it was because he didn’t want to waste time and effort […]

Yes
I thought it was to do with the former LP shelving being too high for cds and rather than adjust the shelves they adapted the objects instead. That may have just been the best reason I could come up with at […]

Adam Gilchrist was not a bad cricketer. He batted left handed and plays golf right handed.

Mike Hussey batted left handed but is right handed in everything else.

David Graham was naturally left handed but […]

Me neither, I feel like they are just renting it to me.

I may be paranoid but I don’t trust big corporations and I have had this fear since I first heard of “the cloud” that one day we were going to be charged […]

I hadn’t heard this in decades when it suddenly popped up on my ipod from some 90’s compilation I’d loaded. I absolutely love it now.
Return of the Mack

Never heard this song until it was used on an advertisement fairly recently. It’s from 1974
Tell Me Something Good

There is another film starring Peter O’Toole from the same era that sort of fits this thread. It’s not about seeking the limelight so much as avoiding it…

The Stuntman

The plot (as I recall it from my one […]
