Crime & Punishment & Death to the Greasy

Jimmy Weasel - Tuesday, 17 June 2003 - 06:16:25 - print it raw

In news of our strange times, a young man (who will be named as information comes to hand) has been sentenced to a year of community service for "receiving stolen goods". His actions? Eating a slice of pizza his friends had stolen. Put on a pedestal by Channel 7 "News" as the poster boy for the Unfairly Exampled, people should look to this hunger slave as a role model for everything that should not be.

Had he ignored his intestinal cravings, he would not be party to the crime he didn't commit. Tubby foodbag-greasefreaks are the product of a society weakened by poor diet and commercial attitude to appetite. A better diet would have also saved him from this punishment most foul.

Who do we blame now? The parents? The Pizza Store? His friends? Fatties don't need peer pressure to eat a slice. It's time to swallow pride as though it were covered in cheese and crammed into his gaping maw.

Stay tuned for updates.

Red Riding Trilogy: This is an attempt to understand the newish British television series Red Riding. Due to the regional accents, the muttering, the byzantine plot, and that British inability to provide subtitles, I am writing a detailed synopsis to get my head around this excellent television show. In short, it is nothing but spoilers, spoilers, spoilers...
Kitchen Antics - Chicken in Faux Ragoût: Ladder of flavour? A few rungs above bland. This can be constructed & delivered in less than 30 minutes, depending on your aptitude with a knife.
Lassitude abandons the Throwing Knives: Down on the chamber pot, the percolating smells brew up quite the nasal fest. From the wafting fumes, the air solidifies partial sweaty rock and musty punk, a taste hinting at delicious pockets of after-aftertaste, and the not so floral punch of an undone music interview leaves the tongue wanting something else.
