Just a note from the editor saying that I like comments. I know I say this every year, but as a 'wonwee' (lonely - go Team America) blogger, I'd like to remind my millions of daily readers that writing comments gives positive reinforcement that someone is reading and someone cares.

I now expect to get at least two comments saying "OK"

Honk a Tosser

So if you see someone throw a cigarette butt from their car window and you are safe from Road Rage, give them a honk. After a while, just like pavlov and his dogs, the (dirty, stinking, littering) tossers will get the message.

If they don't mind dropping it, why don't they drop it onto the floor of the car?

Grrrrrrr.

It all ads up

See some cool ads.
Virgin is my favourite.

For any marketing people - can you please critically analyse these ads. "I guess it is ok"  is not sufficient.

The Heinekin ad is for the boys - Nashy, Natho and Caine, you'll love it.

Oh Rosa

A minor tribute to a major figure. Rosa Parks, famed for inciting civil unrest and social change, died yesterday at the age of 92.

If anyone has a spare ticket to the world cup qualifier on November 16th I'd love it.

Otherwise - join me in a pub to watch the game. We can spend the money we save on more beer!!

Sub 80

Angry Monkey, Beware of Rake
Originally uploaded by Orin Boborin.

So June then Tomasso says that I've lost weight. So then I weigh myself. I'm about 79.9 kilos.

Hmmm.

I've been 85 kilos (of muscle) for about 7 years, except for when I got Malaria and climbed mount kilimanjaro (hi Felicty, Sarah, Adam, Jeremy, Paul, Moses and the crew!).

What is going on?

Here is my theory;
1. Since my disabilitating injury, I've done less arduous exercise (basketball, biking, push ups, etc) so I've probably lost some muscle.

2. Since I got back I've been trying to go 'low carb'. Basically I avoid eating carbs after lunch if I can avoid it. Maybe it took 5 months for this to take effect.

3. I won a Lowenbrau Stein from the Lowenbrau (thanks Britt) and now I drink about two extra litres of water a day.

So that is it. The Mick Diet 3 Step.

Best of luck. If it works for you, please send me $100.

Thanks.

Best Toys of 80's

Some great toys;

Oh my god! This last one looks like Wayne and I playing on the lounge room floor in Wyoming with dad looing on with glee.

So funny.
