Yaoi-wee!
I am horrified yet I cannot look away!
For those who aren't in the "know" on what yaoi is, let Wikipedia inform you.
And yes, marvel at how the Japanese have gifted us with yet another of their sexual pathologies.
Taking all bets.
It's bloodbath time at Hogwarts.
Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final instalment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who.
If the fanfiction writers had their way, it'd be Ron.
And, it's over
Australia has exited the World Cup in a way that sums up its whole experience there.
Until we master the fine European/South American art of faking injuries, we'll never win.
Only the Germans can do that.

Just another Latin American Idiot
J F Beck has the details of Chavez crony Maria Rosa Jimenez and her jaunt to Australia to spread the word about Venezuela's glorious "Bolivarian" revolution.
(Translation, as Beck points out, is just more of the same "Commie cult of personality crap").
Of course, if these dickheads knew the first thing about their idol, they wouldn't be so quick to invoke his name for their crap:
On his deathbed, Bolivar asked his aide-de-camp, General Daniel Florencio O'Leary to burn the extensive archive of his writings, letters, and speeches. O'Leary disobeyed the order and his writings survived, providing historians with a vast wealth of information about Bolivar's classical liberal philosophy and thought.
A great admirer of the American Revolution (and a great critic of the French Revolution), Bolívar described himself in his many letters as a classical "liberal" and defender of the free market economic system. Among the books he traveled with when he wrote the Bolivian Constitution were Montesquieu's Spirit of the Laws and Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
Bolívar's many speeches and writings reveal him to be an adherent of limited government, the separation of powers, freedom of religion, property rights, and the rule of law.
Let's see: classical liberal, admires Adam Smith, adherent of limited government, property rights, sees more wisdom in the American Revolution than the pissant French one.
Gee, although Bolivar sounds like a top bloke, I can't see that he'd share any of Chavez' ideas. In fact, he'd probably think the man a dickhead of the first order.
The biggest irony: Chavez spends all his time ranting on about the US, but George Bush probably has more in common with Chavez' idol than Chavez does.
(Post title, by the way, is a reference to this book, which is heartily recommended.)
Thanks a freakin' lot, bro!
Having older brothers makes you more likely to be gay.
No wonder I sometimes hum along to the Village People.
Not sure what this says about me

Just shut up and drive, moron
Plenty of posts on Indymediawatch about anti-semitic conspiracy theorist, nutcase and Australian taxi-driver, Faruque Ahmed.
Hey mate, perhaps you should just concentrate on driving people around Sydney?
Leave the "thinking" to people qualified.
Another Remake
Another remake of an old classic Sierra adventure game - this time King's Quest III.

It was worth it
People do a lot for their sporting heroes.
A 21-year-old Malaysian university student was yesterday fined RM1,200 for committing the Islamic religious crime of khalwat (close proximity) with one of the imported football stars of the Malaysian Premier League club, Kelantan. A pharmacy student at the International Islamic University, Ms Farrah Aina Safian Sauri, 21, pleaded guilty to committing the offence with Argentinian footballer Gustavo Alberto Romero at a flat in Kubang Kerian at 1.15am on 7 May.
The crime of "close proximity". I wonder if these lawmakers know how fascist they sound.

Now that's a sight
I'm never washing my eyes again, ever.
Ronaldo ate all the pies
Australia plays Brazil in the World Cup in the next couple of days, and the main question is has Ronaldo become a fat bastard.
Not a good sign when you've got more chins than limbs.
This may be the cause of it all:
Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo has sex with his wife before every game to ensure that he plays at his peak. He says sex is the perfect way to prepare for a big match.
But he also says that the woman should do most of the work with the man relaxing and saving his energy for soccer.
Or eating pies.
Same difference!
UPDATE: Seems I wasn't the only Aussie to come up with this.
Some Aussies in Germany are chanting "Who ate all the pies?", while one suggested that when Ronaldo meets the Socceroos in Munich on Monday (at 2am AEST) he should change his shirt number from No.9 to "Four'n'Twenty'' after the iconic brand of meat pie.

Did you miss me?
Hey! I'm baaack!
Internet transition troubles (damn you TRANSACT!) caused me to take an unexpected two and half week hiatus from teh Interweb, but now I'm back, baby!
And look at all the stuff that happened in my absence! Crazy Islamists plot to cut off Stephen Harper's weird looking head! Kim Beazley goes back to the 1950s! Abu Musab Zarqawi is turned into a bloody smear!
I'd better get blogging!
