Vicious Mindless Violence That Offers Nothing New

Belvedere Jehosophat - Monday, 24 March 2003 - 05:52:16

The trouble with war (aside from the death, destruction and its inherent senselessness) is that there are always innocent parties who suffer needlessly.

Parasites of the Polling Sites

Jimmy Weasel - Saturday, 22 March 2003 - 14:36:09

Election Day, 2003. Political parties have been scraping together teams to distribute propaganda outside the voting shacks all over the state in an effort to destroy more trees than the next party. Compare the pain of a swarm to seven telemarketers all calling the same number one after the other; each talking louder and faster than the previous.

Lateral thinkers are being lured in the lead up to the NSW State Elections. In a broadcast advertisement, the Greens have all but eluded to the widely held belief that a vote for any other party than the two major stalwarts—Labor or Liberal—is a wasted vote.

Ethan Switch - Monday, 10 March 2003 - 21:04:01

Vigilantes have been alerted to be on the lookout for a beaten up light brown/tan car. Make and model, possibly that of a Toyota Corolla, bearing a license plate ending in ---723. The car is reported to be that of a shady nature with the occupant within even more so. The driver is considered armed and possibly legless. Caution is advised when taking a bat to the driver's head.

Please form an orderly line, the bodybags are plentiful today

Ethan Switch - Tuesday, 25 February 2003 - 15:20:30

In the current climate—25°C, cloudy and with possible light showers—the need to reason a terrorism attack is of a bygone era. But there does still exist a hurdle for the potential of terrorist attacks. Namely the question of who to attack, when to attack and how to collect the compensatory hush money.

All the flavours delivered right to your door

Queensland. Possibly named after transvestites fleeing from the South-Eastern states, proves a hard region to understand.

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.

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.
