Pat’s Point of View

Some ideas for making the next Commonwealth Games more interesting.

If ebay wasn’t enough of an innovation for the humble “for sale” ad, this guy has taken to a new level!

Here’s a screenshot in case you miss the auction.

I saw this ad at the bus stop this morning, directly across the road from Long Bay prison. How ironic, esspecially considering the recent escapes…

For those who can’t read the ad, it’s for the new channel 7 show “Prison Break”. Must make local residents feel all warm and fuzzy.

Airtoons: making fun of the cartoons in airline safety cards…

I don’t know if these are real or not, but some are quite clever. I like the pesticide one…

Jenn sent me this ad from a classifieds website, do you think she’s trying to tell me something?

That’s just plain mean, how could somebody do that to such a fine automobile?

ps: If the ad is no longer live, here’s a screenshot.

OK I have a problem, I just can’t stop playing with Google Earth.

You should see all the stuff people have found using it! For example, see The Register. Or Google Earth Hacks. Or this.

Most of it’s interesting but sometimes you wonder if we should be able to see this stuff. I mean you would think that they wouldn’t release photos of anything secretive….or would they?

For the record, here I am.

Nothing funny seems funny no more, since I discovered Chuck Norris Facts…

It always makes me laugh when I see a poorly chosen domain name….such as:

• mp3shits.com (“MP3′s Hits”)
• www.speedofart.com (“Speed of Art”)
• www.powergenitalia.com (“Powergen Italia”)
• www.therapistfinder.com (“Therapist Finder”)
• www.gasheating.co.uk (“Gas heating”) < new!

And here are some more.

If anyone has any more, let me know.

They screened Super Size Me on free-to-air in the UK last night. Damn that was funny. And kinda distrurbing the way some people are eating these days.

It got me thinking, how much McDonald’s have I ever eaten in one stretch? When I was a volunteer fire fighter we used to work for like 15 hours straight, outdoors in summer putting out bushfires etc. The quickest and cheapest way to feed a big bunch of “firies” would be to raid a local McDonald’s. So perhaps twice in one day.

Then on a recent holiday, fatigue, frustration and the language-barrier forced us to eat McDonalds for about 3 days in a row, but only once or twice a day.

And that was enough to make us feel like crap, imagine 3 a day for 30 days?
