Google Whack

I was told about a Google Whack by the people we share and office with and it's very addictive. I found two today and a few more tonight and have to stop. However googlewhack.com denied my latest ones. Which i feel kinda cheated by.

here's the two they were allowed and have been stacked

underachieving Cruoton and presentable cumquat

Here's the one that was denied Ladyfinger Sniffer a google whack and funny i think.

So try a few and you'll see it's harder than you think.

Doing this also had soem funny results:
Theres 579 angry croutons but 1,650 psycho avacados and an amazing 28,100 edible concrete. I thought there would be less than 1,290 cucumber underpants but im wrong. And it seems if you install a heli pad it not a superfluous helipad as there is a measly 61 of those on Google

Lying for Columbine

I walked away from the cinema feeling amazed at what I just saw when I watched Bolwing for Columbine.

But after reading these articles 1 2 3 I know feel angry. Which may explain why Stupid White Men doesnt sit well as I read it. It's definetly not up the standard of "No Logo" and "Fast Food Nation" there is two books that hit hard without having to voice the authors own opinon.

In SWM im swamped with Micheal Moores own ideas and ideologies rather than facts. The Northen Irelanc solution being the stupidest thing I've read in a book (abotu as stupid as a Right Wing comment from me) More concentrating on being funny than actually trying to help

Breakfast , Brunch and Brekinner

I am the last to eat healthy but in an effort to try and at least eat more fruit I have tried to stay away from eating snack foods.

the hardest thing is snack foods fill you up and sit there like a lump. Where as fruit seems to never fill me. i ate 4 apples and still needed more!!

i have decided to eat breakfast insteading of snacking. As breakfast would be the healthiest meal i have. no meat, lots of fruit and and nuts and museli. So over the wekeend (milk supply permitting) i think ill have breakfast about 5 times.

I had soem cereal or museli on the plane to Melbourne and now i cant find a similar one at Coles!!! It's liek hearing a catchy song on the radio and then never being able to find it anywhere!!! Damn you. I don't even know who to ask at Qantas.

Speaking of Apples I hate when you buy a good batch, which taste great, then next time you go back to the fruit place they just have shitty red and granny smiths. Try describing an apple you had 3 days ago. I guess I shoudl use my digital camera more for these situations.

Mouse Trap

This is is every kids dream. The windscreen wipers at the end are really special.

A car as that not only doesnt contain a pop song but also doesnt have the car flying around the corners of a abandoned road. No celebrity either, no star bursts with price deals and no jingle to be heard.

Melbourne

I spent a whole 3 days in Melbourne and had alot of fun. I only realised half way through that you must trams everywhere. (its pretty cheap) as my feet were killing me.

I also forgot my camera cord ($40) and missed the first flight down to VIC ($110). Flight 2!!!! ive heard of bus 2, dock 2, table 2 but never flight 2. It's always flight 577 or soemthing like that. So we went to go on flight 744. which was the plane number. Why the plane number was on my ticket i have no idea. Why we had to go to international terminal, when we were only going on a 1 hr flight is also beyond me.

A few points i noticed at Melbourne
1: its cold
2: people are nicer
3: there are many great buildings but none famous like the Sydney harbour or Bridge
4: The Melbourne Comedy Festival is popular
5: They have a free tram!!!
6: Public transport is cheaper (5.70 for a day pass compared to 13.40 in Sydney)
7: Melbourne also have a Luna Park!!?!?!
8: Not many places sell Potato Wedges but many sell Potato skins!!??
9: It's a lot cleaner with more bins in the city that arent over flowing
10: The airport is far form the city in the middle of nowhere

Thats all. I enjoyed my stay
