I’m truly sorry for the nine-year-old New Zealand girl who had to go to court to change her name. What’s in a name? Quite a lot if you’re called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. That’s the unfortunate appellation a girl was given by her parents – but now a New Zealand judge has ordered… Continue reading Poor girl!

This is probably old, judging by the video, but it’s still priceless! Peter
Political correctness gone mad!
I just don’t believe this news report. It can’t be true – but it is! An advertisement for an air traffic controller is being offered in Braille – although 20/20 vision is a requirement for the job. Bosses of St Mary’s airport on the Isles of Scilly say they are simply adhering to equal opportunity… Continue reading Political correctness gone mad!
Can someone please explain ‘squirrel punk’???
I’ve no idea what ‘squirrel punk’ is – and I’m not sure it’s safe to know! – but a friend e-mailed me the link to this video. The band has a Web site, where they proclaim: The Nutz are a squirrel punk band from the small town of Nutting Hill on the outskirts of London,… Continue reading Can someone please explain ‘squirrel punk’???
I’ve heard of ‘girding up your loins’ – but this is ridiculous!
I’m both appalled and fascinated to discover something I never knew before. Husband and wife Francisco and Casilda Figueiredo are among the last exponents of a traditional Portuguese handicraft — making ornamental ceramic penises. For more than three decades, the couple have carefully shaped thousands of ceramic male organs, moulding them into upright shapes and… Continue reading I’ve heard of ‘girding up your loins’ – but this is ridiculous!
Another of the world’s worst jobs?
Within days of beginning this blog, I wrote about what must be one of the worst jobs in the world – the sewage diver. Now, from Norway, comes a job that may rival it. Researchers in Oslo and Tromsø plan to analyze sewage this autumn, in an effort to determine alcohol consumption among residents. They… Continue reading Another of the world’s worst jobs?
Absolutely the worst music video I’ve ever seen!
And it’s screamingly funny! I’ve stolen this unashamedly from Phlegm at Fatale Abstraction. She posted it a couple of days ago, and I’ve found myself humming snatches from it ever since. It’s so horrendously bad it’s captivating! Phlegm, this is All. Your. Fault!!! Peter
Has anyone ever called this guy a SOB?
How about ‘trash’? Or ‘gutter scum’? Or ‘worthless POS’? If they haven’t, I can only admire their self-control. That, ladies and gentlemen, is Representative James H. Fagan of the Massachusetts state assembly. If you want to know why I’m pissed off at him, you can read this Fox News report. My buddy Lawdog has also… Continue reading Has anyone ever called this guy a SOB?
This is amazing!
Courtesy of an e-mail from Mike B., I was introduced to this clip of performers from what appears to be a Chinese circus act at the Circus Festival of Monte Carlo. It’s absolutely amazing, and I had to share it with you here. Incredible! I’ve got to find a way to see this live sometime.… Continue reading This is amazing!
They built a monument to WHAT???
I’m still shaking my head in disbelief at this news report. A monument to the enema, a procedure many people would rather not think about, has been unveiled at a spa in the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk. The bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 800 pounds (363 kilograms) and is held by three angels, was… Continue reading They built a monument to WHAT???
