NEW AGE COMEDY

An Irishman, an Australian, and an Englishman walk into the front bar of the Elephant & Hearing Aid. The barman asks them what they want to drink and the Irishman says "You know I'm really sick of all this racial stereotyping". The Englishman agrees and the Australian says "And you know what else, I don't even know why we're in the pub again: I'm getting worried about how much I drink" .

So they all go to a nearby bistro and enjoy a nice spiced apple chai. The barman turns up and complains that he was there at the beginning of the joke but now he has nothing to do. The four men decide to form a support group and develop an interactive theatre piece referencing their search for identity as individuals and as a collective & to try an find a punchline for the joke.

They apply for an Australia Council grant to stage the production and the vote is swayed in their favour when the Englishman says "And one of us could be a trans-gender pole dancer with Asbergers who's struggling with the demands of being a single father"

If you'd like to see this show, you're in a certain amount of trouble. Seriously. Get help before it's too late.

And friends, if you're torn between having a Gregorian plainsong day or a George Clinton Funkadelic /Parliament kind of an evening..... well then that's a hell of a rich life you've got yourself  there.

HOW TO NOT SHOOT TAYLOR SWIFT

  SWIFT EXIT STITCH IN TIME FOR TAYLOR Narrow escape today for pop diva Taylor Swift after she cleverly avoided being in Kansas City for the giant piss-up occasioned by the KFC ( Kansas Fucking Chiefs ) winning a well-attended football game of some sort. It was the third year in a row the KFC had won and the fans seemed reasonably pleased. We understand Taylor Swift's boyfriend du jour is a valued member of the KFC  team and played an excellent game, causing the normally reserved Ms Swift to let out an excited squeal. We can neither confirm nor deny that Travis received the customary backseat of the limo passionate-but-chaste-embrace as the happy couple sped to the airport, sending her swiftly on her way to Australia where she will stage a number of wildly successful and very long concerts. Back to the carnage. Three shooters opened fire on the huge crowd, many of whom were not yet paralytically drunk All three were eventually quickly captured and arrested and advised of their righ

LEST WE FORGET © ANZAC 2019 ™ ®

Of course I fought at Gallipoli. I was only a fetus, so I had to lie about my age. And my height. I had to lie about a lot of things. I hated the taste of beer and I didn't know the words to Waltzing Matilda, but I was buggered if I was going to let that stand in the way of dying for my country. Or someone else's country. War isn't supposed to make sense. They say the first casualty of war is truth. In my case the first casualty of war was a Louis Vuitton trunk containing my best dinner suit, three ounces of Turkish opium, and a particularly fine collection of Persian erotica. Sunk without trace after a luggage tender capsized at Alexandria. A tragedy. I was on my way to Paris to cover the war as a freelance correspondent and I had no idea of the horrors I was to face. Without a decent dinner jacket. You people have no idea. Gallipoli. It was hell. When I say I fought at Gallipoli, I really mean I saw action at Gallipoli. Well, I mean I saw some photos of the plac

HOW TO GIVE UP SMOKING

Image
      First, have a cigarette. It's probably best to wake up first, but I have been known to have a cigarette immediately before awakening or even before. Now dig out those barely-out-of-date nicotine patches you bought three years ago after chain smoking three packs of Marlboro Red at a party in Rehab. Apply liberally to the chest and upper arm areas. I know it says only one, but what sort of a wimp are you ? Go hard or go home. And check out the Krusty the Clown instructional video on YouTube. He recommends 15 - 20 at a time, at least until your body gets used to it. Now, by this time the patches will have kicked in, flooding your bloodstream with nicotine, fear, and anxiety. You may feel the need for a cigarette at this stage. I know I do, but I promised myself I wouldn't have one until I'd finished this blog. You could be in luck - this night be a short piece. Anyway, after that cigarette, don't have any more. Simple.
