Scientific research should never be carried out on animals.
From this moment on, this little duck will boycott all NASA related products and will no longer offer them my flamey goodness, the next time one of their Saturn V rockets are in shop!

Well that's a right *$%# of a thing!
Owner and I were just finishing off the rest of the dishes from Saturday nights Yum Cha fest! (yes I KNOW it's supposed to be for breakfast) when we came across the hallowed Espresso maker...
Before I go on, I would like to mention, that amongst his many vices, really strong & bitter coffee has got to be right up there, especially after doing menial housework and particularly after any day that requires any more then 20 minutes of contact with a man who can fill this in 20 minutes!!! A.K.A owners fuckwad of a boss!
But I digress, you see both "owner" and I both are quite partial to this "sweet" dark nectar, and in order to concoct such a drink you need one of these. For those not in the know, this three-chambered metal pot, known as a caffettiera works by using the pressure from the steam in the bottom pot causing water to be forced up through a tube in the centre, which then infuses through the ground coffee, and finally is collected in the top pot...and viola simple, effective, tasty Coffee!
On this particular night, whilst doing said dishes, we found the holy vessel, sitting nestled in the dish pile.......
"Hmmmmmmmm I haven't had a coffee for a while" - "How Intriguing!"
Upon opening it, we discovered that some brainless FUCK, has decided to take it upon themselves to make a LATTE.....and judging by the slime inside....they made the said LATTE about same time as the labor party last won a federal election. Yes that is right, not only did this person try to get milk to infuse through moderately packed coffee beans, they proceeded to leave it sitting innocuously by the stove. So that no one would guess what evil was brewing inside.
I will point out here, that these pots are not very useful for making any type of milk based coffee, mainly due to the fact that theses pots are not designed to be used with milk. A LATTE should be made from a combination of milk and water, with the milk being heated separately until it almost boils and then whisked lightly before being strained over the top of a prepared basic Coffee and Water solution.
Anyway, I digress again
I can only describe the contents, as rancid CLAG glue. But with um...chunky bits!!!!
So as I sit here typing this, listening to "The Monkeys" like a serial killer, my poor vessel is having a lovely vinegar bath.... quite possibly rendering any future coffee making benefits, null and fucking void.
WHO EVER YOU ARE YOU FUCKING SUCK!

I've been waddling around this website for a couple of months now... and I have to say that it is totally and unashamedly cool!
Basically it logs whatever music you are currently listening to and what you have historically listened to and compares this to the play lists of other members to find bands that you could be interested in. For instance in the last few months I have discovered these guys , these guys and these guys ! Just by, well, listening to my music collection.
You do need to upload at least 100 tracks before all the features work properly, but if you leave iTunes running for a day it shouldn't take that long.
Today, I finally download the last, and probably best feature... Personal Steaming Radio!
Okay here is how it works... You tell Last.fm that you want to listen to music that is similar to "insert artist here", the database will then scan the play lists of people with similar tastes to you and stream music direct to you, based on the aggregate data of what "they" listen to!
I will add that the company that runs the website is making its money through selling data to record companies, however the software is open source, contains no spy-ware, ad-ware or mal-ware, and no personal details are provided, just listening habits/memes.
Anyway enough talk more music.

Some of you may be aware of a friend of mine. He goes by the name of dave.
This is not your regular HOT SAUCE, this actually quite a serious undertaking. It comes with a warning about keeping it away from skin and eyes.
How hot is it, you ask…well about 4 years ago we had a chilli night. All of us brought some “hot sauces”. One by one we worked our way through the bottles, one drop of sauce, one piece of feta and one cracker. Sadly none of the other “hot sauces” really cut the mustard (excuse then pun). So by the time we got to Daves Insanity Sauce, I was slightly annoyed at the false advertising and loaded up a cracker with a good teaspoon of this sauce…
*scene deleted*
What happened next is hazy, needless to say this one was the real McCoy.
Since then Dave has become a regular party favourite. I wait until someone boasts about loving hot food, and how they can never taste chilli. I then proceed to offer them about 1um of this stuff and…then sit back and watch their face melt.
Why am I telling you this?????
I’m glad you asked???

Well this wasn't actually me, but on Saturday Owner went to see this. Anyway he's asked me to post this.
Like a lot of people, my introduction to classical music owes a lot to Carl Stalling. So on Saturday night, not only was I able to sit in the Adelaide Festival Theatre and listen to classical music, I was able to also giggle incessantly at it. For you see Bugs Bunny on Broadway was playing in Adelaide.
The first thing you noticed, is that there is something fundamentally wrong with 71 professionaly trained musicians, probably more accustomed to playing Shostakovich. Playing the opening vamp to a Looney Tunes Cartoon…yet, at the same time I could not stop myself smiling uncontrollably at it.
Naturally in a show like this, such classic’s like Rabbit of Seville and What’s Opera Doc, were always going to be a crowd favourite, in each case they were the respective act finale’s. For those unenlightened "What’s Opera Doc", takes the 15 hours of Wagner's Ring Der Ring Des Nibelungen and compresses it down to 4 and ½ minutes... oh and replaces the key cast with Buggs and Elmer. In the same way that "Rabbit of Sevillie" made me think that Rossini wrote "Welcome to my shop, Let me cut your mop". I grew up thinking that the libretto to “The Flying Dutchman” was Kill Da Wabbit! Kill Da Wabbit!
In addition to above, the ASO also, somehow, managed to get through a whole Roadrunner and Coyote cartoon. I tell you, that is the first time I’ve seen an orchestra wipe sweat from their collective brows, at the rate that pages were turning I don’t blame them.
The show conceived by George Daugherty has been touring since 1990, so do yourself a favour or two and try to see this show.

ACT 1
Overture to The Flying Dutchman
The Warner Bros. Fanfare
Merrily We Roll Along (the Looney tunes theme)

Owner out!
