When General Waste Attacks

September 27, 2000

You don’t feel cold during chilly weather if you think about it properly. The key is – think of the weather as crisp, brisk or refreshing; rather than miserable or wet.
This is what I was thinking right before the garbage bin hit my head.
I was walking to the train station and a garbage truck was [...]

The Coming Out Game™

September 22, 2000

A while back, our mate Cam came out as a gay guy to four people within 24 hours. Thus, The Coming Out Game was incepted.

Team Blonding Session

September 1, 2000

Me (on phone to my mum): It’s exactly the friggin’ same!
My mum: No it’s not! Sport is stronger!
Me: Why WOULDN’T they make them all the same strength?
My mum: I don’t know. It’s their marketing!

My mum: It won’t even say. Look, sport deodorant [...]
