(Summer Fun Pak*)"},"content":{"rendered":"
It’s summer, so I haven’t been going anywhere or doing anything. It’s too hot. At least I expect it’s too hot, because since new year I’ve been hiding in the dark under the bed with some 1.5 litre bottles of Kirov<\/a> and a pallet of Tiny Teddy biscuits, waiting until it’s finally March. But I did find a power point for my laptop, which means I cd fritter away my downtime tinkering with the layout of the site. So in the meantime you can…<\/div>\n
1. make your own joke about a clueless rock dude whose name is “Bassman”;<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s partly because I’ve already mentioned Dimebag Darrell getting shot onstage<\/a>, and partly because rather than write my own stuff I’d prefer to swipe it from No Rock&Roll Fun<\/a>, or any website that updates daily. How on earth do they manage it? Do they all have servans? What with all the hours I have to spend staring into the bottom of bottles and testing the patience of phone sex operators I have barely enough time to brush my teeth once or twice a week, let alone write rubbish for this stupid site. Anyway, here’s the quote.<\/div>\n
\n
Paul Bassman, manager of Damageplan, is still puzzled about the whole thing. “How this man got onstage without encountering security is the most puzzling question,” Bassman says.<\/div>\n
That’s right, I’m sure nobody has ever been at a gig before where people have ever got on the stage, run about, hugged the bass player, sung two lines of a song, kissed the singer, trod on the effects pedal, danced about like a pansy-boy or simply dived off the stage back into the crowd. It just never happens, does it?<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
2. make your own joke about this kid getting wedgied to death next day at school;<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
The BBC has reported that a 12 year old boy has discovered five mistakes<\/a> in the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica<\/em>.<\/div>\n
\n
Lucian, who attends Highgate Junior School, spends several hours a week reading through the encyclopaedia’s 32 volumes.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
3. amaze your friends with your ingenious plan to drive McDonalds out of business;<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
Just eat lots and lots of Happy Meals! Next time you rock up to CERES<\/a> with a gob full of french fries you can look your feral friends in the eye and tell them you’re sticking it to The Man because Maccas loses money on every one sold<\/a>. Of course if they do go out of business, where is there left where you can still score a good old brown paper bag<\/a>?<\/div>\n
\n
… if you are on a high street and feel heart palpitations, a shortness of breath and an extreme feeling of anxiety, pop into McDonald’s, tell the waitress you are having a panic attack and a staff member will immediately issue you with a paper bag in which to breathe.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
These and eight other reasons to stop worrying and love the Ron at AK13<\/a>.<\/div>\n
4. not bother reading<\/em> The Age<\/a>;<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s only just February and they’ve published their third column for the year about how Melburnians are obsessed with coffee.<\/div>\n
5. suck all the fun out of people’s inane prattle about the Oscars.<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
Tell them the best film award can be determined by a formula. Download the spreadsheet.<\/a> Hand out printouts of the spreadsheet to your coworkers. Explain the calculations to them. Mark the important parts with a highlighter pen. Show no interest in telling them what’s actually going to win this year.<\/div>\n
Now for no reason at all I’m going to post a picture of an angry baby and then I’m done. Enjoy.<\/div>\n
