only in springfield...

So you take a seat in a plush retsaurant where you're sure they will probably find a way to charge you for the air you are consuming (service charge 17%).You figure there's going to be some unusual items on the menu, some of which you may never have heard of before, but ready to try a few new things.You skip the Lobster and the Foie Gras entrees, peruse the mains feeling confident until you see

Gilled Wild Boar with Caramelised Witlof Celeriac Puree

It seems that not only have they suceeded in genetically modifying wild boar to breathe underwater but finally someone has grafted celeriac and witlof together into one fantastic vegetable....

Love Ka

No - there's nothing to spot in there, just the promise of good things to come (along the lines of 'I've only just tipped the iceberg in London' and 'They were sights to be held').

Birds and the bees on Big Brother

I checked with alex and he thought this was funny too...

From Big Brother (no not really a watcher, was just flicking through on a bad night of televison, in between checking out the supre site...)

From Christy, aged 20, female:

"Yeah, I just think, you know, she's been watching me like an eagle"

no more to say really.

Classy Indonesian

Was checking out the Supre fashion site, where they were showing a charming little shirt dress, described as :

ITEM NAME : BOUTIQUE BUTTON UP SHIRT DRESS

Ok so what's so funny there? Well - Pay close attention to the Description as:
'Button up shirt dress with boutique print'

do you think they might have meant batik?
"nore mayte it's a boo-teak print. Yeah."

Haka Hiccup

When doing a little research on NZ culture for Weezer and G-Dav's wedding, I came across some lovely spelling, a rather figurative preposition and a neat little lexical invention.

When it comes to the Haka, the northern hemisphrere is infactuated on everything about it.
