It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye

Self-indulgent crap. Dumping ground for photos and random rantings.

New version of an old joke

Heather Mills and the drummer from Def Leppard go up to a taxi. The driver says "You look pretty 'armless, 'op in".

Can't fight this feeling

Lately I can't splash the ceiling anymore
I'd be lucky if I reached the bathroom floor
It used to crash against the toilet door
Like waves upon the shore
But lately I can't hit the ceiling anymore

"New" lens today

First test shot from the Nikon Series E 135mm f/2.8. This is at 100% (click to see full size) in crappy indoor light and manual built-in flash, with no processing except for the crop. Looking pretty decent so far...

Things to be thankful for

Every day we should take a little time out to reflect, and be thankful for the fact that snot doesn't smell like poo.

Especially if you've got a cold.

Another one I don't think I've posted before

That stupid song with the Leo Sayer sample

I feel the chunder in my throat
As I run to the bowl
And I fill the dunny up with chuck
Should I not have had that dodgy pork roll?
