CASUAL FRIDAY
Yeah I know it's Monday Tuesday.That's how casual Casual Friday can be. At ALIAS POOR YORICK we believe that if a thing's worth doing, it's worth dodging a deadline for at least a couple of days. On top of that everyone here is wearing teeshirts with wacky things written on them ! In the office ! How wild and out there are we ??
There's a concert coming up in Melbourne: Andre Rieu and The Seekers. This is quite possibly the whitest music you are ever going to hear. Or you could just stay home and stick sharpened bamboo skewers under your fingernails. One of these activities is categorized by Amnesty International as torture. And on top of that you have to deal with Ticketek. Okay, enough already with the blinding incisive satire.
And yes Virginia, the term 'motor-sport' is an oxymoron. Back to the ferrets:
Last week, an allegedly domesticated ferret called "Michael" was found at Edinburgh station, allegedly lost, dazed and confused. A likely story. As loyal readers will know, all ferets are called Nigel. What has this ferret got to hide ? It's pretty clear to our investigative team that "Michael" is on the run from super-secretive cult "The Weasels of Lights", and , unable to afford more than a third-class trainfare to Leeds, has stayed on the train and enveloped himself in this web of lies and deceipt. Come clean "Michael". Step forward and all will be well. All the Nigels await your safe return. You know in your heart it's the ferret thing to do. Come home and we'll make a heart-wrenching documentary about you. In black and white even, if you want. Promise.
And today's "You Can't Stop the Musing" segment is from Tarquin Dogbadger (good to hear from you again Tarquin you old fictional character ) of Mt Fernglen Valley River .....
"Any job offer that includes the words 'fun times' with 'fun people' is lying. As is anyone in a relationship-seeking ad who alleges they have a GSOH (good sense of humour for those of you lucky enough not to know) No-one with a reasonable sense of humour could write GSOH without laughing. I'd be a bit seriously keen on a woman who wrote " I refuse to use an acronym to describe myself: I have an avowedly average sense of humour and the sight of Mr Bean causes me to reach for my 30-30 Carbine and a box of dumdum shells" In fact I'd have to marry her.In fact I did . We had a very special ceremony that involved burning Mr Bean in effigy. And we had more than a dozen people there with no sense of humour whatsover ! Brilliant ! And finally, I believe I have uncovered the greatest lie of modern times: Channel Nine described a double episode of Two and a Half Men as a "special event" in the current Green Guide.

And finally: come to Melbourne. How can your resist a city where there's a band called "Scott & Charlene's Wedding" ?
There really is
