I didn’t know that was a thing. I’m kind glad I don’t live in Victoria any more. I’d probably get into a lot of fights. Nobody I know speaks to me anyway. All but a few have written me off as a Trump supporting Nazi I would expect. I could also be a Nazi supporting Trump I suppose. I’m not either of those things BTW. Harry Dean Stanton, who I supported on his Australian tour in 1990, famously once said, “Don’t join anything”. He was right.
It’s Friday again. Again? It comes around so quickly. The news is quite boring although they found another Alien mummy in Peru recently. There is a webpage about it here. Is it real or is it a hoax? I don’t know for sure, but it really does activate the almonds.
Remember how scared everyone was when the evil Nazi accosted the Vic Premier? This is what it looked like…be very afraid. The Age filed it under “Right-wing extremism”, that’ll show ’em.
“Heil Australia” Oh my gawd…Nazis!
As the week draws to a close it’s time to reflect on what’s been happening. Rising anger in the UK and Australia about ‘immigration’. Putin says he will meet with Zelenskyy if Zelenskyy travels to Moscow. I can’t see that happening. The latest batch of ‘Epstein Files’ were released. China had a big military parade. Israel began it’s campaign to wipe what’s left of Gaza from the map, while Greta Thunberg and some others set sail in a boat to stop it. The UK’s Deputy PM Angela Rayner just resigned over failing to pay stamp duty on a property she owns. They’re not employing their best and brightest are they?
Here’s one from the UK that defies the imagination. “An NHS vascular surgeon who carried out hundreds of amputation operations has admitted cutting his legs off on purpose then lying about losing them to sepsis to claim a £466,000 insurance payout.
Neil Hopper, 49, has been jailed for 32 months after pleading guilty to two charges of fraud by false representation relating to claims made to insurance companies that his legs had been amputated due to illness rather than self-inflicted injury.
He also admitted three charges of possessing extreme pornographic images, relating to videos by a website called the EunuchMaker, which depicted genital mutilation.
The court heard Hopper had used dry ice to freeze his legs to the extent they were no longer viable, requiring amputation – which had long been an ambition of his and he had a sexual interest in.”
Labour’s front bench is in disarray this morning.
I can’t even. What was I saying about mental illness yesterday? I’d like to finish out the week and talk about nice things for a change. I’m going to lunch shortly with bassplayer Gary, or Gazza as an Aussie would call him. Correctly, it should be Gazzo as a word ending in “A” would in Latin language be the feminine gender.
These refinements are lost on Aussies however. Everything ends with an “A” masculine or feminine, it doesn’t matter. I’m guilty as charged your honor. Gary refers to himself as “Gaza” in any case. I hope we get something good to eat. I’m at a loss to know where to go after the Vietnamese place we used to go to jumped the shark. What I would really like is the Korean Chicken that I could get in Hawaii before they shut the place down. Man that was gooood. Too far away however.
Happy Friday
It’s kinda dumb, but I like this one.
