adventures on the internet: 10 by 10

so i did a bit of blog following tonight, stumbled accross a couple that interested me.
anyways... i found this interesting thing called 10by10, on a blog - by cheryl, thanx whoever you are :)

it basically compiles the 100 top words and images in the news on the net, and it changes every hour... We got a mention - when i looked (it will have changed by now) Dr Pattel (that psycho who was working in Bundy) was at number 88, with the word Australia connected to it...
So, an interesting tool... like me i guess.

anyways... heres the link

prioritise this

TV at the moment sucks. So, i ventured over to SBS - which i have been doing a bit lately. They had a great report on the response to Hurricane Katrina. Its funny how priorities effect things.

Basically they talked about FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and how the director and most of the high up staff there were totally inexperienced when it came to disaster management. The guys that they appointed were just put there as political thankyous. It was a cushy, high paying job for friends of the whitehouse basically. And well... FEMA had been like this, from its conception (1979) till 1993 when something amazing happened.

Clinton decided to put staff in at FEMA that had experience with disaster management. So, he took James Witt from Arkansas, and he did a good job. Lets flash forward about 7 1/2 years, to George W Bush running for president. He says - that Witt had done a good job. And well, he had, so maybe that was the one smart thing George W has ever said...

So, the good dude (Witt) left when President Stupid got control of America. And then, what did Bush do. Appoint the mate of the Chief of Staff... Some guy who had no idea (Joe Albaugh)... Then what happened... Over the next 4 years, the Bush administration cut the funds the FEMA had for prevention programs, and basically turned them back into a toothless tiger, a face to blame when things go bad. ... left, then Mike Brown whod been the number 2 for a couple of years (another politician basically) gets appointed

Katrina hits. This poor director of FEMA (Mike Brown), the Governor of Lousiana and the Mayor of New Orleans all get grilled. Well... the FEMA guy lied like crazy, tried to make the Govenor and Mayor look stupid. And well, the FEMA dude did a poor job, sure... but...
WHY WAS HE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!

I guess what i wanna draw out of this is that in the US government, and ours... we need to seriously give prioritisation to things that matter. Dont just feather our own nests, but make things right, do things properly... now! (unlike Bush, who has finally now appointed someone who has experience in Disaster stuff after having 2 shockers - David Paulison - a fire department guy)

You know whats funny. Maybe at times... the church could learn from this too. Just maybe...

Well, when 93% of American Nazarenes vote Republican, its not hard to see what we have to learn, how and why we have to change.

people with cool names

today i spoke to Chloe Tickle on the phone. i just had to mention that.
its definately up there with Snowball.
Anyways, Chloe was extremely helpful, so thanx mate.

why bother

i saw war of the worlds with the kids from work the other night. it was really crap. I just dont know why people would bother making movies like that anymore. lets spend a fourtune on a predictable story, with poor character development and an ending thats like... what? thats it?? oh...

so, personally i wouldnt recomend anyone bother. just remember all the other end of the world alien movies and thats pretty much it...

weird phone conversations

talk about odd...

doing my "homework" today, calling up some chaplains finding out some bits and pieces about what they do.
So... I called Sally, from Marsden High, who was on the interview panel that didnt give me the job. I'm totally cool with it, Troy is better for the job than I, but Sal didnt know I felt that way... So, she's like... "hi, have you spoken to Tim?". I'm all... yeah yeah, its all goood, thats not why im calling yada yada... After that initial strangeness it was all good.

Anyways, I had a productive morning. Thanx to Sal, Neil and Des for your help. Hopefully it'll make a difference.

j award approacheth

so, triple j's new awrd - the j award is finally going to be announced on Friday! I'm looking forward to it actually.

15 different albums have been nominated. I feel like a bit of an Oz music nut at the moment. I think i have almost half of the albums. And well, i particuarly enjoyed - Ben Lee, Lior, Architecture in Helsinki, The Beautiful Girls, Wolfmother and Clare Bowditch and the Feeding Set.

Its gonna be a tough one to judge, as the artists are so varied... Anyways, we'll see what happens??? And yeah, I got Clare Bowditch the other day, will throw some thoughts around on that one soon.

bluesfest

the first part of the line up for blues and roots was announced this week. its here.
at the moment its not compelling, but we'lll see what happens, theres a few i like the look of but nothing WOW! yet... they do have a tough year to follow though(too bad i missed out of tickets - sob sob).

homework

so i met with tim from SU today. it seems that if i want this job i am going to have to do some homework. should be interesting.
thats all i have to say right now...

Josh Pyke

a few weeks ago i picked up Josh Pyke's EP - Feeding the Wolves. So, I've had a chance to listen to it a bit, and well heres my thoughts.

Middle of the Hill - the song that they have been playing on Triple J, is by far and away the best track. It has elements that remind me of Ben Lee and also Darren Hanlon. Other than that the rest is reasonable, not rubish at all, but no other clear standouts (yet?). Along with the 2 artists i mentioned already, the other tacks have strong similarities to Alex Lloyd. I like Lloydy, so thats ok. I think its a good start for Josh Pyke, i will try to see him when he's up here some time. Who knows when that'll be.

So yeah, good but not great. Probably give it 3 stars.

relative quiet

last few days have just been pretty quiet really.
starting to think about what we want to do with our kitchen - thats a task and a half... but besides that, not much has been going on. its good to have people here, but its also nice to have the house to ourselves... its a balance i guess.

I'm having coffee with Tim from SU tomorrow to chat with him about this job he thinks i might be suitable for. So, who knows what will happen there. Its a bit of an adventure at the moment, next year is rather uncertain at the moment. Hopefully within the next few weeks i will know the where to from here stuff. who knows?

this candy rocks!

one thing i forgot to mention from last night was that they got some rock candy made that said Andrew (Heart) Theresa. It was a nice touch. I may have to borrow that idea at some point.

actually imagine that... you look down at a lolly that says...
well... i'll let you do the imagining...

great night last night

i woke this morning to grant and mick saying bye. so yeah... bye!
but now onto last night...

after my last post, i had to run down the shops to get some paper (didnt buy enuff) and some safety pins. so i was a bit rushed. but thats ok.

got into south bank around 5.30. Found the place easily enuff (thanks to Jimmy). Mind you i was a little confused about the sign that said "Andrew and Theresa'a Wedding", who's Andrew???? Rocked upstairs... greeted by Cam, and well... we were there...
Copland was pretty tense anyways. Totally understandably, besides the fact that he was to be married shortly he had stacks of people in his face asking dumb questions. anyways, at about 6.10 tipod and i got the go ahead to go to get the girls - becuase they werent answering the phone at the hotel.

rock over to hotel and... they're gone. arghhh! were they gonna beat us to the wedding. get there about 15 minutes early. argh... so tipod and i split, looking for them. I bolted! In a suit! running down the main drag like a mad man. I tell you now, there is something very serious about a man in a suit doing the bolt. after running about 500 metres or so i found the girls - they had taken a short cut that i hadnt seen. Theresa looked great, and i could barely stand up. And well, essentially, i managed to wreck my shirt with sweat stains that would be visible for at least the next hour (more on that later).

We got the girls to the wedding! At about 6.30 we kicked off. All went well. Dave Harris did a great job. I was sitting with Dave, Steve and Fi, Tipod, Grant and Rach, Catholic Ang and Nakari (obviously). During the signing of the registry I ducked off to the loo where they had a hand blow dryer thingy - woohoo. I managed to crouch in the corner and dry my shirt off - much needed by then. Let me just say that it is a challenge for a guy my size to dry his armpits on one of those things. But I managed to do it.

The food came out almost straight after the preceedings. Dinner was good - a banquet style - each table had a big plate of food. Entre - I particularly liked the cous cous, you just dont get enuff of that these days. As for the main... the fish was surprising, i normally dont like fish, but it was great - encrusted in crunchy chili breadcrumbs. Nasi goreng is also a fav of mine, a little different (their version that is) but still ok. Desert was good, cheesecake... anyways, enuff about the food.

From there the highlights for me were the speeches and just catching up with a coupla people.

Chris (the best man), made a speech that is now the best wedding speech i have ever heard - and probably will be for a long long time. He spoke in such an amazing way, it was just gold. I particularly liked the story about Copland being dressed in a santa outfit, telling a kid if they didnt behave, he would bite of the kids head and deficate down his esophagus. I tell you, we were laughing - real loud about that for at least a minute. Also, thanks to Chris, we will now be calling Copland by his childhood nick name - "Tits".

Copland's speech was pretty standard. I do have to note one thing though. It was gold how Copland thanked James for bringing his ipod for music, as opposed to the tipod. that got a cheer from table 10, let me tell you.

Saw Orgo again. He's a great guy (mind you i should really spell his name Augo, but i dont). Its a real self esteem builder when someone finds you funny. It seems as though noise montages are going to be a speciality of mine in the future.

Sitting next to Catholic Ang was good too. She's a real champion. I had no idea that she had such good musical taste. We talked about Tiddas for a while. Man, Tiddas were great - and Copland - I want my CD back (he's had it for about 6 years). Looks like i have the task of getting Ang into some newer aussie stuff. That'll be fun actually.

On the note of music, i also had a bit of a chat to Christal (is that spelt right?). She's the chaplain at Springwood High. I tell you, if all Chappy's (that ones for you Christal) are as cool as you, then i'd be honoured to be in your ranks. Will have to talk music more soon too...

Other than that, there was just a heap of general catching up. Saw the adelaide guys again, great value. The Sydney crowd too (didnt get to catch up with them much though. And just meeting a few new ppl and stuff...

So, yeah... Copland and Theresa, it was a great night. Congrats!!

cruisy day

just had a cruisy day today pretty much. Makhyah was in Kindy, so grant, mick, rach and i, just hung... played some cricket and some killer bunnies. So, after that we got some lunch, hung some more, I took MJ to Kenn's, then to come home and get ready. thats it really...

big lunch before Coppy's big day

had a big lunch today - We had Mick, Grant and Rach, Dan and Lyd, Chris (Copland's best man), Dan and Lyd, Caine and Sal, Shailer and Orlani... all come round (i dont think i missed anyone).

Good day actually.
I made some nice salads (thai beef and chicken ceasar), we played boche and cricket, and just hung... it was like we were back in sydney (but not really).

So, Copland asked me and Tipod if we could help out tomorrow night by walking the girls from the hotel to the river room (where the wedding is). I'm stoked eh. My only fear is that i will fall over and twist my ankle or something... I just have to not walk to close to Theresa just incase i barrel her over too....

The Thai-pod

The only lack of consesus on this one is spelling. Thaipod, Typod or Tipod???

In the car on the way home from tongue n groove. Mick was defending himself. Well, basically a fairly drunk friend of ours was all over him, and he wasnt into it at all. So he was trying to say that he was a tripod and thats why people were interested in him... but instead... he said "I'm a Tipod!"

Let me tell you, we were laughing about that one for ages. So Tipod, we salute you!

meltt ???

i think they are called meltt anyways.

we all met up at the tongue and groove at West End, to see Jame's band - mellt.

so most of the first set i spent catching up with amanda (which was for the best i think). Then later on i went and sat with Copland and Theresa (who are getting married on Monday), Grant and Jame's Amanda. The band was really good.

To be honest... the sax players were weak (or at least the weakest element) - not very creative, thats all. James went off, he is really playing with much more space these days (which is a good thing) - technically, he's been great for ages, and well he's definately going off in the area of working well with the rest of the band. As far as the rest of the band goes. the drummer was amazing, tight as... And the keys player, she was awesome. Very Vida Blue. I spoke to her after the set... after realising i wasnt a stalker or something (?!) i think she apreciated my comments.

anyways, i think i will try and see them again some time when they have their guitar guy with them.

shed is up

spent the morning with Kenn (thanx champion), getting the shed built. So, we can get rid of all our stuff out the house now. It filled up quickly too (funny that).

Then off to Cam and Jo's engagement. Good time. Grant, Mick and Rach should get here soon, then i think we're going out tonight...

another crazy prank?

4am. Woke to the sound of now less than 4 kookaburras, outside our window, going off! And I mean going absolutley crazy - for about 3 minutes. Nakari and I wstarted laughing it was that ridiculous.

I figure they were probably teenage kookaburras, looking for a laugh, after a big night out, on their way home - as there are no kebab places in the area.

what a day

its just been an exhausting day, and well i lament this as i contemplate going to bed.

sure i cleaned lots of the house, and cut the grass. so im physically tired

and then i have that whole job thing thats on my mind

plus... ive just been told about another job going that would work for me. but i dont know what i want right now.

looking forward to a good time this weekend. may not be able to blog for a few days due to busyness, we'll see... thats all for now...

bizarre phone call

so, i dint get the job. Troy did. It came down to cultural stuff, and to be honest I imagine he would do a better job straight up than I would. So... congrats mate...

But... thats not where it ends. I was on the phone for almost an hour. Tim (the scripture union guy) told me about 3 other chaplain's jobs he thought i would be good at... and, another different job, as more of a team leader sort of role. So, i will have to think and pray about those and see what happens...

So... pretty strange. I got knocked back, but feel really good about it. Tim said that he thought I would be great, i just got beaten by the perfect candidate for that particular school. So... we'll see where it goes. I'm sure, interviews, phone calls etc, will be mentioned later.

house cleaning day

so, we've got Mick, Grant and Rachel arriving tomorrow, staying with us till Tuesday. Up for Copland's wedding (more on this later i'm sure).

Looking forward to this weekend, but today is a pretty busy day because of it. Oh well, its time to get rid of all the boxes lying arround the house, and start having some order. And who knows... I imagine i will find some things that i forgot we even had.

oh to be seventeen again

Listening to the news this morning, police in warnambool were called out to a pedestrian crossing to remove 18 garden gnomes. Its suspected that this was a muck up day prank. Thats just gold!!

Another good one i actually experienced the other day. I was filling up my car at the servo when a car cruised by with a guy half hanging out the window, with a megaphone - "stop filling up your cars!". Again... just great stuff.

tip for the day

dont use a wippa snipper on the base of a bush filled with wasps

it hurts

job interview

so i had an interview today for the chaplain's position (at Marsden and Kingston).

its funny, i left the interview feeling great, like i had a really good shot. then... in the last 3 hours or so (since i got out), i started second guessing myself. "maybe i shouldnt have said that", "would i have been better to do this" etc... Oh well. If i dont get this one i will more than likely apply for another (theres ones at Woodcrest, Sunnybank and Macgregor all looking for people).

they said it should only be 2 or 3 days tops. So hopefully i will know by early next week (at the latest).
fingers crossed

John Safran - the real socceroos champion

Lisening to the J's this morning Steve Cannane mentioned something oh so true. If you look back at John Safran vs God, episode 7 (look here) its clear to see who is the champion of the day when it comes to the socceroos making the world cup (or the US World Cup according to an american finance chick on suynrise this morning).

We only made the world cup last time (1974) due to a witchdoctor giving us a hand. And well, stingey mungrels didnt pay the guy - so he cursed us. And well... what does John Safran have to do with this. He got the curse removeb by a Mozambiquean Witchdoctor - during his last series (vs God).

So sure, Kewell played well, Aloisi kicked an important goal, and Shwarzer might have saved a couple... but why??? All because of John Safran.



A blog named egdar does not encourage, support, practice or belive in voodoo in any way. It is mentioned here purely for satirical purposes.

reviewing something different

so...
maybe i review ther occasional gig, song, album or movie... but heres a new one...

Mi-Zone Blackberry.
Upon opening the bottle, which is the standard Mi-Zone sports water we have come to expect (since they changed their bottle design earlier in the year), you areembraced by a scent, a frangrance... a smell that leads to anticipation... "oooh, im in for something special here".
Rasing the bottle to my lips the scent intensified. As it hit my lips the cool watery texture gave me the satsifaction that I thought it would, fresh from the servo fridge of course.
But then...
No...
It tastes like Jelly!!!!

Go ahead and try it, but it tastes like jelly... oh well...

and please... dont judge me by this entry... im not always this bigga tool.

4 Freedoms or the Theology of Sufjan Stevens

Listening to Sufjan Stevens today, who I really like. And well... he nails a theological issue when he sings

"I was crying for freedom from myself and from the land"

Its interesting how we can be our own worst enemies. Anyways, just thought I'd note that here as it has impacted my day in a positive way.

competition - who makes the suit look best

Got Copland's wedding on Monday night, and well Mick, Grant and I are all wearing the same suit (same design, not the actual same suit - would be a bit cramped). Why? Cause we all have these suits from Grant's wedding that we havent worn since (at least i havent), and why not...

So, I have gone to great lenghts (by that i mean intentionally shopping for a shirt) to look good. I imagine Grant will go a little casj (cash? casual?) with it, probably no tie... and well... Mick... Mick has his own certain style, so it'll be interesting...

Got the shirt 25% off at Myer sale tonight, so bonus. Anyways, I may actually put some pics up at some point... but dont hold your breath.

oooh that smell

what song is that lyric from?

but more importantly i find it amazing how smell triggers memory. I had a blood test today. Just walking into the surgery with that strong smell of rubbing alcohol, bang! it brought back all these emotions and stuff. If i was blindfolded, and someone walked me in there, i would have know where i was... weird eh?

shed slab

spent the morning with Kenn (who is a champion, thanx mate) and Karz and Makhyah, pouring a slab for our shed. Hopefully the shed will be up and sorted by next weekend, when Mick, Grant and Rachel get here - for Copland's wedding.

Why does it need to be done by then?
So we can get rid of all the shed things (like golfclubs, lawn mowers and the solarium), so there is space for people to sleep. Besides that, its good to have an excuse to get things done.

Yes, I am

Grande is right. I have been a hypocrit and a chameleon.

I shall now seek to be the one person, the person i want to be, consistantly.

Sorry if i have perpetuated views of Christians being hypocrits. I think the reality is that lots of people are hypocrits and its just heaps obvious with Christians.

So yeah again, sorry, i shall be working on this from... now.

back to bris

Lyd dropped me off at the airport at about 8.30 this morning. I have to say that i had a great time, and just wished that i could've stayed longer. Catching up with Dan and Lyd (and Ian - Lyd's Dad was in town), was awesome last night. And yeah, also great hanging with Caine Sally et al.

Anyways, I think that the last coupla days have been a hige time in my life - one that i will look back on with some significance. Things just feel a bit different, and i guess im seeing the world in a new way. And, I like it.

its all fun and games... til someone looses an eye.

in the last 2 or 3 weeks i have managed to get soap, shampoo, conditioner and sunscreen in my eye (one or the other - and yes i mean the eyes i use to see, dont get carried away). Well all this came to a beautiful croshendo (wrong spelling!?) today when...

I managed to get toothpaste in my eye. it deflected from the sink as i spat. I couldnt believe it. Surely a highlight of my clumsiness.

What was I thinking?

So today I went and saw Wolf Creek, with Caine. So the long and short of it is that I walked out (and Caine followed, but didnt have to). It was just too much for me...

Anyways, talking to Grande about it I realise that its one of those things you know - different strokes for different folks. Not that hes seen it, but i imagine he would probably be cool with watching it, and well i wasnt. but thats ok...

it really opened my eyes to the impact that stuff can have on us. again i need to say that different things effect different people differently - no blanket rules here... but for me, i just need to rethink things like that. thats all...

support your local alien time traveller.

due to a heap of automated spam comments i have added word verification if you wanna make a comment. I imagine i will still get spammed a little, but hopefully this will cut it back. So, still comment away if you like, but now you will be forced to enter some insane letters like W4KQ8Z, which for all i know is some code that communicates with aliens (who are really time travellers), but thats ok. Support Aliens/Time Travellers and not spammers.

Away in Adelaide

Hey, I'm at Caine and Sally's at the moment. Didnt want to hog the computer too much, but i had achance to type up some entries that i have backdated.
More soon hopefully.

How to wreck a holiday

Why do I have such a sore foot!!! I woke up this morning in a lot of pain, and I’m beginning to suspect that I may have inherited my Opa’s ailment – Gout. Yay! I hope its just some pinched nerve or something.
Besides the foot, I’m having a great time with Caine, Sally, Shailer and Orlani. I wont get to see Dan and Lyd til latter in the week, but that’s cool. Its just good to be away. Spent the day today hobbling round the city. But I did have a good time, picked up a copy of Relevant magazine – more on this later possibly. Now just back at Caine and Sal’s place, chillin… Having Wok in a Box for dinner, so that’ll be good.

Mr Men in the ALP

Tonight we were watching the news when a National MP was getting stuck into the labour party in relation to the terrorism laws, and the raids that went on this morning. Boswell said… Now they have egg all over their faces from head to toe… I guess Kim Beasley might be Mr Grumpy and Kevin Rudd Mr Brainy… That’s the only way I can see egg on their faces going from head to toe.

the last word and the word after that

I finished reading a New Kind of Christian 3 – the last word etc. today. Man it was good, Brian McLaren just delivers the goods every time. I have to say that in particular im inspired to be a part of a group that meets up every few months and just helps each other on the journey. I think we learn from other’s experiences in light of all that has gone before them, and us (through history). Its great to see what a particular person, in a particular place, at a particular time can do for us, when we enter their space. Maybe if we viewed the world in this way more, it would be a better place.

on a plane? or in the mountains somewhere

Its funny how things can affect us. On the plane to Adelaide, I was reading the Last Word and the Word after that, and they are staying in a little cottage in the mountains. Meanwhile I was listening to Xavier Rudd, and it just teleported me, in my mind to another place. In some ways I can say it was actually a spiritual moment. Its amazing how God can work when we are open to him.

Paranoia – thanx to the government and the media.

I’m not a racist, I really despise racism.
But, for some reason I got all paranoid that the Lebanese guy sitting next to me was reading a book on George Bush and the war in Iraq. Ended up talking to the guy, and he was good value. Its funny what we get fed and how it affects us… this is how racism grows, and well, im sorry that I fell into the trap.

It's not that bad... really...

Getting on the plane today, and my foot is still playing up, really sore and I have not idea why. Anyways, I ask for the exit row seat and the guy just checks to make sure I’m ok, not limping or anything… and well, I was hobbling fairly dramatically by this time. So I make some crack about the adrenaline that would kick in if I actually have to open the door. Get the seat and walk off with no limp… mind you I could have used some morphine after that.

a river in egypt

Denile... or maybe that should be Denial...

Listening to the J cast this week, Chris and Craig did this great take off called "wolfmother creek". Very amusing. So anyways, they played that, then they played bits from an interview with Wolfmother. I have to say that my respect for them has dropped significantly - the guy was basically ripping into people who say they sound like other bands... "name the track, name the melody" he said.

C'mon dude - the vocals sound sooooo much like Robert Plant, and the music in most part is a mix of Led Zep and Black Sabbath (with some other bits and pieces from the era thrown in for good measure - Yes, The Who). I'm digging your sound, but pretty unimpressed with the fact that you guys are kidding yourselves. It's a good thing to be reviving a great genre, you should be proud. Oh well... I can think you're tools (or at least somewhat toolish) and still like your music, so thats what i choose to do.

Holly Throsby

Picked up Holly Throsby's debut album (from last year) - On Night.

It's great. I really respect anyone that can keep their music ambient and mellow. I think its a reflection of personality but also display a great restraint. I guess, I'm the build up king so something that starts chllin and mellow, unavoidably ends with mentalness (or something equivilant).

Back to Holly... I love her writing style. I think its based on quirks, by this i mean fairly standard things with interesting bits and pieces you arent expecting. Also, I like her vocals - raw and emotional - maybe this is a cliche, but i think it fits here. So... thanx Holly, I'm enjoying what I'm hearing thus far, and looking forward to seeing you live soon.

adventures on the internet: podcasting

welcome to another episode of AOTI. Today I feel like mentioning the podcasts I stumbled across.

Triple J, have upped their podcasts significantly. You can check them out here. I'm particlurly pumped by their Aus Music Month podcast and also that you can now get the entire show of Hack daily (instead of just highlights), as well as Roy and HG, Mel in the morning, Megan Spencer's Movie stuff, Richard Kingsmill and the crazy nuts at Today Today plus more. And yeah Dr Karl and whats your name with the annoying squeaky voice... i still love yous...

what can i say. i've been really impressed with triple j this year. they really are a resource this country cant do with out (or maybe just me... but thats ok too). whatever you're into, theres a chance one of their podcasts may well interest you. lots of music (interviews etc) and funny stuff, but also other bits and pieces.

adventures on the internet: the chaser and kaya

2 unrelated things, kaya and the chaser. what do they have in common?
i embraced both today online - i think this internet thing might be here to stay :P

Kaya (better than poker) sent out another newsletter today, and well, they are planning on coming up here again sometime soon (after woodford which i cant get to). I also recieved an email from Juleiaah which was particularly cool. They have a 6 track EP coming out late (real late) this year. I'm so pumped! Anyways, I'm sure i will mention them again. Their music inspires me in many ways, its just so outside the box... you cant even see the box anymore...

The Chaser on the other hand inspire my life in areas that need to be controlled - those of stupidity. They really are quite clever mind you. You can now watch their 4 minute weekly show Chaser News Alert (CNA) online (or ABC 2 if you have a set-top box). Its great that they are just giving us enuff to wet the apetite. I particularly liked their Jamie Oliver cookbook takeoff, definately laugh out loud funny.

So there you have it...
See you next time on Adventures on the Internet (this may or may not be the only episode)
