Easter road toll 2008 snookers two little ducks

Ethan Switch - Wednesday, 26 March 2008 - 22:05:55 - print it raw

Bunnies, bilbies and bodies, oh my. Crashing is the rightly ritual of the road toll and this year continues that tradition in double deuce fashion.

Western Australia, long languishing in the middle to the back of the pack pounce upon the competition to slain no less than six and share the top of the ladder of Easter 2008 with Queensland. The former packing away four more as the latter leaving behind two in the bush. Collective sum of the difference and totals all roughing up 6-6-6. Ominous?

WA know how to train the kids into showing state pride. Closing out the road toll tally period, the state was looking on at tying second when a last minute effort by a teenager put WA on equal with QLD.

Slicing last year's numbers at the navel, Victoria drop the upper torsos to need only half the body bags with 5 on the rush order.

Tasmania, no slouching in this round of festivities, manage to roll out 3 hot cross bodies. Vast improvement from zero that usually keeps the Apple Isle on the bottom of the fruit basket.

Both South Australia and the Northern Territory going binary with a body each to step away from the empty that read their year previous. Switching off that digit, however, was ACT and not bringing any food to the shin dig.

Most amazing turnaround of score, in a negative stance, comes from none other than the premier state. Watching from upside-down, and not knowing where the keys are, New South Wales, from the lofty and limb flailing heights of nine in 2007 ratchet a measly fatality-free session. Far fall from gracing the top spots.

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 Ragoƻt
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.

Every detail makes the story worth following somewhere. Cooking up microfiction and life lessons as we review film, music, books, theatre and other aspects of culture.
It's all intrigue and conspiracy.
