As a bigtime Jim Beam fan, I was most happy to see at my local Coles:
* Jim Beam Marinade
* Jim Beam BBQ, Steak and Chicken Wing Dipping sauces
* Jim Beam Mustard
* Jim Beam Pancake Syrup
And I’m not making these up…
I was walking past Sanity in the Bourke Street Mall this evening. Now, like most music stores, Sanity has music pumping out into the street. I think they were attracting the wrong clientele though. Dancing madly in the street were (what appeared to be) three homeless people (unless the homeless look is in again). They were going absolutely sick, they were great dancers. Maybe Homeless Disco will become a regular feature of Saturday nights in the Bourke Street Mall.
After wading through the crowds at Crown Casino this evening in my vain attempt to get to one end of the complex to the other, so I could get to the carpark, I have to say that the #1 Thing Claustrophobic People Should Not Do is enter Crown Casino on a Saturday night. That’s closely followed by the #2 Thing Claustrophobic People Should Not Do: lock themselves in the boot of a Festiva.
Okay, I drove on Citylink, Melbourne’s new tollway that’s temporarily free of charges. What did I think? I think it’s like Independence Day, the movie.
Things That Both Citylink and Independence Day Have In Common
* The hype surrounding them is unbelievable
* You’re only there because everyone else is
* There’s ads/billboards all the way on the approach
* It’s awesome while you’re actually experiencing it
* The special effects are pretty cool
* Citylink’s computer system has as many holes in it as Independence Day’s plot
* Afterwards you realise it’s completely crap and never want to experience it again
