If there's lessons to be learnt from horror films...

horrible monster
DON'T waste time kissing in monster-infested waters!


Horror flicks. We love them for their outlandish premises, their gory grandeur and the chance to see some beautiful, scantily-clad women being mauled by freakish beings. But, if there's one thing about horror movies that frustrates me...it's how utterly stupid the people can be. I mean, so much loss of life could have been averted with some simple common sense. So, in order to prime yourself to survive an onslaught of evil, remember these key rules:



1. If there’s an incredibly scary-looking old mansion where it's rumoured a family was murdered by an axe-wielding maniac…DON’T go in. go shopping instead.

2. If you hear a strange noise behind a door…DON’T open it. Just don't.

3. If you are accosted by a member of the undead, and you manage to kill it…DON’T stand there looking at it, because it’s highly likely there’s another one lurking behind you.

4. If you are bitten by a zombie… DON’T hide it from your fellow survivors, if you care about your friends and family, you’ll tell them that you will soon become a zombie.

5. If you are attacked by an evil being…DON’T scream, it’s a futile waste of energy. Headbutt the bastard instead.

6. If you see a black cat…DON’T proceed further. Superstition saves.


7. If you have just moved into that long-abandoned house atop the hill, and you hear an ominous voice telling you to leave…DON’T hang around…leave...immediately!

8. If you see a strange, limping girl with black hair crawl out of your television…DON’T sit there staring at her….run! you can easily outrun her!

9. If you are in a group exploring a creepy mansion, or other such uneasy place…DON”T separate into pairs, stay put. If you must explore, go as one big unit.

10. If you see a hitch-hiker on a dusty, deserted road…DON’T pick them up…especially if they have a large bag.

11. If, after a brief altercation with a known serial killer, you find yourself holding the knife…DON’T hesistate and just look at it…use it!

12. If you are an archaeologist in Egypt, and you sight some hieroglyphics warning of horrible curses…DON’T ignore them….mummies are ruthless!

And always, always, ALWAYS stay the hell away from clowns.

A tribute to the car

The car. Four wheels of sweet, sweet freedom. For over a century, us humans have all had a special affinity with our big, noisy, mechanical friends. We want to go somewhere, and they deliver us there. So without further ado, here are some of the species of the wonderfully sleek and shiny animals we know as the car.

She ain't perfect, but I love her

Most Memorable Sitcom Characters

Cosmo Kramer
Cosmo Kramer (Seinfeld)
“He is a loathsome, offensive brute…yet I cannot look away” mused an art enthusiast as she gazed at a portrait of “The Kramer.” Kramer was the ultimate scene-stealer with a brand physical comedy that is without equal. No other man will ever enter a room with such lack of class.

Girls who drink beer

Beer drinking lass
Then again....
When it comes to girls who drink beer, personally, I am fairly impartial.

But coming from a more general male perspective, I must say that the union of beer and woman has some definite pros and cons

Good Old Kids TV (Where has all the entertainment gone?)

Upon flicking through the old guide of television, I couldn’t help but notice the complete absence of quality children’s TV. These days it’s all about massive-eyed Japanese teenie boppers throwing pokemons, or cards, or fighting in some other stupid way. Back in my day, cartoons and kids shows were cool. Here’s some examples:

Jukebox Glory Whores

Taking credit for the work of others is always looked foully upon. Waltzing up with a stolen piece of work and bathing in the glory of compliments and appraisal is a thoroughly despicable act. Plagiarism is a crime to, thieving recognition is bad manners and the whole concept is just not cricket.

In the music world, you will get sued for recording a covered version of a song without acknowledging the original artist. In fact, in the entertainment industry, if you so much hum the tune to a song without having paid for it, you are liable to have the pants, and possibly other pieces of clothing, sued off you. Musicians are rather protective of their intellectual rights, and rightfully so, hate seeing others receiving praise for their hard work

Unco Pedestrians

People should require licenses in order to walk about the streets, footpaths and shopping malls of the country.

Walkers
Look Out! unco walkers about!
If you wish to drive a car, you must first prove by a series of tests that you are in control, and aware of what you are doing. If you swerve about constantly and bump into other vehicles consistently, then you are not legally allowed to drive a motor vehicle on public roads. Simple
