How hot does it get in Karratha?
Yesterday, our car seats melted.
HOT ENOUGH FER YA?
Month March 2021
THUMBNAIL THURSDAY LOVES PANDAS. STILL. IF IT’S COLD ENOUGH.
Thumbnail Thursday’s Immutable Law of Comedy Gold: Pandas are funny AF.
You know it.
MIXED MOVIE QUOTE: HAMLET’S DAY OFF
Where there are students, there must be a film unit. Where there is a film unit, there must be a film chosen by the teacher solely to give them something enjoyable to watch while they ignore the fact the little shits are doing anything except watching the damn movie.
To whit: this week, I’ve watched Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.
Twice.
FEBRUARY AND APRIL HARES ARE LAUGHING
CLEARLY, WILL HAD STUDENTS
Pretty sure this is the same address our Principal gives the outgoing Year Twelves at their graduation ceremony.
THUMBNAIL THURSDAY GOES ALL WRY NEW YORKER ‘SMILE HUMOUR’
Given my feelings about organised religion, I have to be honest with you: this is a softball so soft I must have been bathing myself every night in New Yorker ‘wry’ cartoons. I genuinely can’t remember anything about this one, but given how long I must have spent drawing all those little details, it must have been a rip-roaring day at the old day job when I scribbled it out.
THAT’S NOT HOW BABIES ARE MADE, WILL.
This is what comes of spending your entire career dressing up teenage boys as girls…
ANY OTHER ANIMALS, THERE, WILL?
Snakes, dogs, serpents, fawns…… what about the hedgehogs? Won’t someone think of the hedgehogs?
FUCK THEE OFF
Short and sweet.
FUCK THEE OFF
Short and sweet.
BEWARE THE MARCH OF IDEAS
BRUTUS: I just ate this whole meal, but I’m still hungry. What shall I do?
JULIUS: Eat two, Brutus.
Fuck you, I’m hilarious.
THAT’S TESTY WITH A ‘Y’, NOT WITH AN ‘E’…
You don’t want that view. Nobody wants that view.
RIP, Champ of champs.
Stunning news today, with the sudden death of former undisputed middleweight champion Marvellous Marvin Hagler.
The man was an all-time great, both in and out of the ring, and was one of my absolute favourite boxers of all time: an explosive machine with thunder in both gloves and a will that seemed genuinely supernatural. Other boxers didn’t beat Hagler. At best, they held him off long enough to escape with a victory and all their faculties attached.
Was he the best middleweight of all time? He’s the best I’ve ever seen. The best of the ‘Four Kings’. Better than Hearns, better than Duran, better than Leonard, and if you’re better than them, who else is there? Sugar Ray Robinson is the only name left, and wouldn’t you have just died to have seen that match?
And to top the argument off, he was, of course, the victorious side of the greatest boxing match ever staged: the three-round blastorama with Tommy Hearns dubbed ‘The War’. And it was.
66 is no damn age at all. RIP, Champ.
The greatest boxing match ever staged. Told you so.
WHY EIGHT?
What does this say about Shakespearean England, that there was such a roaring trade in lobotomising seven year old horses?
OH, TO BE A GUEST IN COLIN BARNETT’S HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
It’s not all bad news for the Lieberals. They’ve been able to buy themselves a new company vehicle to get to work. 🤣🤣🤣
A LITTLE NEO-CLASSIC SPACE GOODNESS
My latest build. I don’t care what NASA says: space will always be blue, grey, and yellow to me.
FUCK YOU, HELEN KELLER!
THUMBNAIL THURSDAY HAD SOME REAL JOB ISSUES
Oh, wow. A clown having a nightmare about working at an abusive dead-end I was stuck in for far too long?
This one isn’t even subtle.
SHORT AND SWEET
Says it all, really.
IT’S NOT AN ADDICTION IF YOU KEEP COUNT.
Luscious returned from a weekend trip to Perth yesterday with a surprise Lego set for me. Which takes my collection — not counting Bricklink and other random part orders (which probably actually account for another few thousand, but don’t tell her) — past 100,000 pieces. Obviously, it’s impossible to work out exactly which is the 100,00th part, so let’s saaaaaaaaayyyyyy….. this one.
This is my 100,000th piece.

A LITTLE TABLESCRAPPING
A man, a few random parts discarded while building something else, a spare half hour……

Dear Lieberals……
TELL ME WHY: I NEED TO LIKE MONDAYS
Monday has become my writing day. I finish work at noon, head to the local library, and spend some time — if not actually always putting words on the page, then at least doing nothing else (I’m still hesitantly working my way back into things).
Today, I managed another 1000 words on Vitelli’s, the short story I started a month or so ago. It’s now up to just over 3000 words. Was a time I’d knock that over in a week, but I’m trying not to compare myself to Past Lee: those days are gone, and I was a different country, then.
I have a story, it’s past 3k, and there’s more to come. It’s a tiny draining of the swamp, but it’s real.
IF I WERE…
Honestly, I think this one is genuinely my favourite so far…
