is very late out of the gate. I have had a very buzzy day, and sometimes it happens, I just don’t have time to sit down and pound something out if you know what I mean. I have only now been able to go through my emails, so I’ll do that while I write this..
“Your upcoming trip to Newcastle” What upcoming trip to Newcastle? Do they know something I don’t? This was an email from visitnsw.destinationnsw.com.au. I have no idea what they’re on about, but tells me this, “Enter Newcastle. Just two hours from Sydney, New South Wales’ second-largest city melds stunning coastal scenery and beach culture with luxe hotels, art galleries, buzzy dining options and a new swim spot for every day of the week. Fish and chips are cooking, the sea is sparkling – Newcastle is waiting.” What in the name of Abraham is a “buzzy dining option”? Do you get bees at the table. It sounds very queer indeed.
This entire email is about Newcastle. Here’s another idea, “Don your mixologist’s hat and blend your own gin, vodka or rum at Earp Distilling Co. Located in Newcastle’s Carrington, AKA ‘Carradise’, Earp is the place to go for a creative, seasonal cocktail menu; a unique, interactive experience; or to simply unwind after a day sampling the suburb’s many buzzing new venues.”
There’s that buzzy thing again. What the fuck dude? They had to go and ruin it of course with the familiar humiliation ritual of ” Destination NSW acknowledges and respects Aboriginal people as the state’s first people and nations and recognises Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners and occupants of New South Wales land and water.’
No thanks. Let the Abos have it. Speaking of which.. nearly every email today is about Black Friday deals. I liked this one from AAA. Not about Black Friday but porch pirates. Sometimes it’s the same thing.
I don’t know if I’m insured against porch pirates, but most of the time I don’t get anything sent to my house any more, so I’m free of that pirate problem. Usually AAA is nagging me about electric vehicles, so this is almost a welcome distraction.
Around here it’s Black Friday all month long, so what’s the point?
Believe it or not there are two emails from AAA. This one is saying, “Did you know that online shopping can make you a target of cyber criminals? 64% of victims only discover suspicious transactions when reviewing account statements at the end of the month.” Oh no, AAA’s customers must be in a constant state of fear at this rate.
I like this one. The NRA Gun of the Week is the Mossberg Aftershock. Looks for all intents and purposes to be a sawed off shotgun, which are illegal. Tell me more…”The hallmark of the design was its bird’s head grip configuration, which allowed the firearm to be equipped with a shortened 14.5″ barrel while remaining at an overall length of just over 26″. Oh I see, I totally want one. They have a demonstration video which I’ve posted here below. I’d be interested to know if anyone other than US residents can even watch this. I know they are terrified of guns in Commonwealth countries. It could be verboten to see this.
The rest of the emails aren’t that interesting. I got the usual “you appeared in a search” email from Linked In. I appeared in a search did I? Who was looking for me and why? If someone really wanted to find me they’d be emailing me, not looking on Linked In. My linked In profile picture is a primitive painting of the Rapture by the way. Check out the song below.
Good Day.
