Lazy holiday blogging

A few things that may help to distract you from being annoyed with me for posting the most frustratingly difficult quiz ever....



1. I was driving to a friend's place last night and flicking through various commercial radio stations when I heard the last 15 seconds of "Walk Like an Egyptian". I was disappointed until I remembered that I had that song on CD and the CD was in the glove box. My first though was 'YEEAAAAH!", closely followed by "I really shouldn't put this on the blog."


Oops.

2. Fans of the multi-talented Ms Hardy may agree that this is surely her best contribution to television reviewing yet.

I am in awe of this woman's ability to get them to print this stuff.

3. If a cow laughs too hard, would milk snort out its nose?

4. I don't usually do the stupid criminal story thing because I've dealt with cases way dumber than most of the ones that appear in the paper but I have an ethical duty not to blog about them. Having said that, this one from The Age is a gem.

5. My wife thinks I should have put some pants on before going out to bring the bins in this week. I think it's a quiet street and it was staring to get dark anyway.
What say you?

6. My mother owns a book on the lost art of Towel Origami.
I am not even mildly surprised

1) I can't hear mention of the Bangles without feeling obliged to tell whoever is with me that "that Susannah woman sang that Eternal Flame song in the nude, you know, to capture the 'vulnerability' of the song' at which point I snort inelegantly and dissolve into giggles. Every. Time.

2) Nigella, Ms Fits/Hardy, sexy stuffs...pot and kettle I reckon.

3) don't be ridiculous. Cows have no sense of humour.

4) after being shot in the arse, and with only a bag of bread rolls to compensate her for the trauma, he should probably be grateful for a custodial sentence.

5) only if blokey g-strings are your undergarment of choice.

'what's a white drink?

'what do you put in tea?'

'what did cleopatra bathe in?'

'what do cows drink?'

1. Thank you endlessly for reminding me of that story, which I had somehow managed to completely forget.

The Bangles' producer, who suggested that plan, is a genius.

2. Fair point. Nigella has never posted a picture of her own naked breasts on the internet. As far as I know.

3. That's true. In fact, they are usually quite mooooody.

4. I did notice that he was described as her former de facto husband.

5. That will remain a mystery forever. Unles syou ask my neighbours, obvs.

6. Sorry, I added this one after you left a comment, although I am baffled that I managed to overlook this even temporarily.

Apparently, I'm not old enough for that joke, either. Or possibly not bright enough.

Something about milk, yes?

I think it's only a real holeproof ad if I lose my pants in frankly unlikely circumstances involving the sudden appearance of a troupe of travelling acrobats and a smallish goat.

Also, if I ever invite readers of this blog to join in a rousing game of 'guess that brand', you're going to win.
