Our Local Cursed Cafe

September 7, 2009

Our local cafe is suffering a curse from the retail gods. Like Pauline Hanson descending into battiness and railing against every form of mass media known to man, it’s an insurmountable struggle that somehow continues unfolding over time. I’m not entirely sure what the properietors of this particular cafe have done wrong to repeatedly find [...]

When Kiteboarders Fail – and Other Great Free, Cruel Forms of Entertainment

August 24, 2009

Free entertainment in your suburb isn’t a particularly vexing task. There’s a few fail-safe spectacles around my suburb which never fail to amuse… Watching angry customers teeter on the edge of sanity, as they wait for service at notoriously slow local cafes When you’re a local, you grow to learn which cafes are unbearably slow. [...]

Five Examples of Why You Should Complain to Companies About Bad Products

June 18, 2009

Update: I recently appeared on Channel 7′s The Morning Show to talk about this post. Watch me embarrass myself! You like free stuff, right? Then next time something goes wrong with something you’ve bought from the supermarket, I demand you let the manufacturer know. After a recent messy packaging explosion, I was so irked by [...]

Spice Me Up

April 7, 2009

Just like Grant Bowler’s pectoral muscles, my palate is getting spicier as time goes by (seriously, have you seen him in Outrageous Fortune? This is not the weedy guy who hosted The Mole any more!) You couldn’t get anyone more adverse to hot, spicy food than me a few years ago. Then I accidentally consumed [...]

Marketers, The Dictionary is not your Random Flavour Generator

March 4, 2009

There’s an increasing marketing habit I’ve observed with food advertising in recent times, and I have something to say. Corporations, take note: places are not flavours. For example, what the hell am I supposed to assume “southwest sauce” is before Subway slop it all over my miserable, wrinkled sandwich? The gritty, earthy taste of Arizonian [...]

The World Wide Jeb Guide to Soundwave 2009… and Related Dessert Treats

February 16, 2009

The entire spectrum of every American emo band EVER barging into Australia simultaneously can only mean one thing. No, it’s not a sudden outbreak of perplexed xenophobia from Bruce Ruxton (although a collective of emo bands’ ghostly and sudden appearance in the country will no doubt provoke this). No, nothing like that – the Soundwave [...]

Hall of Helmets

January 25, 2009

Unlike the careers of anyone who appeared in Scandal’us, I’m not dead! We were in the process of moving house, so I was sans internet for a while. Adam organised the removals process while I was at work this week, so he began unpacking and orchestrating a redefinition of what can reasonably be hung on [...]

Nandon’t

December 14, 2008

Everyone’s got an awesome local takeaway food shop in their area. Here in Port Melbourne, it’s the awesome chicken shop we have nearby. The two blokes who run this joint are champs. You get discounts if you’re a local, a guaranteed laugh, free food if your order is taking a little while to prepare, and [...]

Lite and Easy to Shame

December 1, 2008

This will no doubt see me suffering some mockery in comments, but Adam and I started Lite & Easy the other week. We’ve done it before, and it helped us lose the weight we wanted pretty quickly. Yes, it’s a little bit lazy; and yes, the food isn’t exactly gourmet (although it’s not that bad) [...]

There’s Always One Satanic Bad Egg

November 24, 2008

It’s with great trepidation that I write any blog entry revolving around the word “egg”. Inevitably, Adam will peer over my shoulder and then we’ll be egg-converting words all evening to, frankly, what results in very little hilarity. It’s an egg-scruitating egg-sercise in seeing who can egg-ceed the other’s ability to egg up the most [...]
