Ponderisms to Drive You Nuts

November 18th 2009 06:50
thinking monkey


I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.


The easiest way to find something that's lost around the house or shop is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Have you noticed since everyone has a cell that takes pictures these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird.. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?


If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

The Door to Hell

November 13th 2009 22:52
The Derweze area is rich in natural gas. While drilling in 1971 geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, it was decided to burn the gas. Locals have named the cavern The Door to Hell. As Darvaza no longer has an airstrip, the crater's site is too far from the capital to send a foam plane to put the blaze out.

The Door to Hell, Darvaza, Turkmenistan


No one is sure of how much gas it has burnt so far but it would appear to be an unlimited supply considering it has now been burning for 38yrs - this thing has been alive longer than I have!!

Seagulls Take Revenge

Angry Seagulls


- this was going to be called photoshop of the day but the pic just cracked me up so thought I would go with a title reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds!!

I am SO bored and sick - but standing or walking commences bouts of death rattle coughing fits so I keep searching for silly things to post to keep me entertained.

Hope your day and health is better than mine.

Funky Photo of The Day

Building washing in New York


This looks like it's cleaning a building after a fire but from what I have read this is the cleaning of general smog build up in New York. Hideous

PC or Mac?

November 7th 2009 20:25
I asked this simple question on Facebook yesterday and war has erupted between factions. If you were raised with Mac you are a dedicated Mac person and same if raised with PC. Over 20 comments in 3 hours and some people seem willing to die for the cause. Whichever computer I get it must be able to handle high end gaming. Mainly World of Warcraft but I want to be able to run Crisis. I also write a lot - especially on Orble and I also use a lot of photo editing - mainly Photoshop. Being a movie buff I also need to be able to watch trailers and films for reviewing and I do like to have multi programs running and the option of two monitors.

The question I am asking here is what do you use and if you have used both what do you prefer? The arguments on Facebook have been quite entertaining and educational. Here are my two favourite opposing comments

HERO - a superb gay superhero novel

November 1st 2009 09:14
Massive thanks go to Paul for word of mouthing me this book to read. Apologies to the fine author, Perry Moore, as I borrowed the book as opposed to buying my own.

I had actually seen the book in Bookshop Darlinghurst, Sydney Australia, and picked it up to read the blurb and thought it was a great idea for a book and that the cover art was very sexy. Not having money at the time I added it to my list and then Paul turns up with a copy. Woot

Australians dealing with Silly Tourists

October 16th 2009 01:24
Thanks to mum for sending me these - I got a good laugh. We all know that some people think us Australians are a backwards country and that we are all Crocodile Dundee and that Kangaroos bounce across the Harbour Bridge. On an Australian Tourism Website pending tourists to our lovely country decided to ask some questions which they thought were completely justified. The officials of the tourism website obvioulsy had a great sense of humour and these answers are the actual responses by the website officials.

Further to my article on Sydney Table that Cadbury was going Fairtrade raids on the Ivory Coast have rescued over 50 children. This information is horrendous and unacceptable in our world of today. Sitting comfotably in Australia in a blissful environment makes it much easier to assume these things could not possibly happen around the world but today while we sip our decaf skinny mocchas (OK - I know I am probably the only person that drinks this) and browse the internet kids around the world are being abused and forced to work as slaves.

Glorious Insults

October 15th 2009 21:56
These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words. Most of the time when someone insults us we return the comment with a F you. Back in the day people were much more inventive and showed wit and a sense of humor. I thank my ma for sending me these.
