Disguise in the skies

A German friend of mine has been thanking God for sending her "blessings in the skies" for about 10 years now, only to discover recently that she should have been cursing "disguise" for her blessings instead.

Coupling... two words together

In an article in the SMH today about dating, one reader comments on what she referred to as:

"Causual sex"

Is this the name given to sex when an informal, causal relationship is established?

That hurts!

A post-Academy Awards comment from the SMH today:

"Any 'academy' that could nominate ANY of the 'Lord of the Rings' films for best editing deserves to be burnt to the ground, and have salt poured into the ruins".

Or, if it was easier, they could just have Lot's wife stand on top and look back.

One more time for the dummies

The Western Australian Government is proposing tougher anti-hoon laws to tackle road rage and allow police to take evidence from witnesses. Premier Alan Carpenter bemoans that currently, "people's lives are at threat on our roads" while hoons are left to speed and cut off other drivers.

But once is not enough. It's a formula that works! He then continues, asserting that, "people should not have to feel like their safety is at threat or their lives at risk..."

He can manage disyllabic words like 'people' and 'safety', so why not 'threatened'??

I can't explain it

How come "indescribable" is an adjective?

Alley Cats

So, my supervisor, Chad (thanks, Graham), and his fellow band member, DJ Armee were discussing the success of their band's new album. Apparently, FDEL's Audio Fdelity had real appeal.

"Yeah, it's really bowling people away"

Let's hope the hype doesn't blow over...
