The Mair Park Bigfoot pays off

Many moons ago while surfing Amazon’s Listmanias I came across an author by the name of Jeremy Robinson. To cut a long story short, he was running a viral video contest to promote his new book, Pulse. I bribed my good buddy Lesmondj into spending a Saturday afternoon in the bush and what eventuated was [...]

Narnia and Me

Our Whippet puppy, Narnia, is 7 months old. Although I love her to bits, sometimes I really do wonder if it’s worth it. Let me give you a run down on the finer points of life with a Whippet… 1. Narnia was created by God to bring embarrassment to an otherwise happy life. 2. Narnia [...]

The mobile phone and the poo explosion

Yesterday’s post reminded me of a fateful day in 2006 while living in our very first house. Prologue Daddy’s little princess decided to send daddy’s phone on a marvelous adventure into the wonderful world of waterland. Chapter 1: What if? It all started a couple of days before when, one moment I had my mobile [...]

What’s really lurking down the plughole

I had to unblock the bathroom sink the other evening… joy. With the help of a crochet hook borrowed from PaisleyJade (yes, they really are good for something), I was able to pull out what I can only describe as a greeny, slimy, smelly, hairy, stringy goop that had to be seen to be believed. [...]

Authentic footage of Bigfoot attack?

A couple of weeks ago Lesmond and I entered a viral video contest promoting PULSE by Jeremy Robinson. Although entertaining, the movie was far too long and I hate to say it… boring. Good news folks. I have re-edited it to a lean 1.15 minutes, and thanks to a blood-nose (don’t ask), it now has [...]

Crochet rocks! (Thanks to Woo)

Yes, you did read the post title correctly. I, Burton… former mocker of crocheters worldwide have changed my ways. I have seen the light, and I owe it all to Woo! This guy has actually succeeded in turning me from one who was embarrassed to be in the same car with my wife while she [...]

Hip Chess for retro kidults

Chess rocks. I was in the chess club at school. I once had a very expensive medieval chess set. I love chess. Alas, I can count the number of fellow chess-loving-enthusiasts in my current circle of friends on no hands… zilch. nada. zero. Imagine my delight when my 7 year old son came home from [...]

I’m okay with crochet

For those of you that follow the world’s most amazing wife’s blog, you will know that her new found love is (ahem) crochet. At first I thought that my wife was having a crises of sorts. I mean crocheting? That’s what old-fashioned ladies carry in their 2-wheeled-shopping bags. Even the word ‘crochet’, if pronounced the [...]
