The clip below is extremely well done and very entertaining. I bet your bottom dollar you will view it more than once.
Anyone for a game of Cluedo?

Don’t get sucked in… pass it on

Did you know that the word gullible has been taken out of the English dictionary?
Actually no, it hasn’t, but you’d be amazed at the amount of people that have responded “Really?” to that verbal statement over the years. A cheap and nasty joke I admit, but good enough entertainment nonetheless.
You’d be amazed at the amount of emails I receive weekly [...]

Save the fluffy bunny!

I remember dissecting a rabbit at high school… while my friend fainted. Good memories.
Now a couple of decades later, at approx 8:01pm I stumbled upon a fluffy bunny in desperate need of life-saving surgery… with only a minute to operate.
Talk about pressure.
The story has a happy ending (after three attempts). House would have been proud.

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 two versions of the [...]

…like I change my underwear

Welcome to my new and improved blog. You like? I tend to grow tired of my blog layout at least once a year, and on a whim today I changed it.
My wife says I change my mind like I change my underwear. I disagree… I change my undies everyday (sometimes twice). She wonders why I keep changing a perfectly good-looking [...]

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. What caused it? Who [...]

The world’s fastest Indian Murray

Welcome to the third and hopefully final installment of the Murray lawn tractor trilogy.
If you have been following my posts, you would have, by now, been educated in the finer points of Murray lawn tractors, specifically Racer-Murray and Monster-Murray.

Meet Murray’s BIG brother

Continuing on with my current ‘Murray the retro lawn tractor” theme… I stumbled across the above pic of a pimped Monster Murray. Alriiiiight.
There is something to be said about yanks and their obsession with taking anything with a piston and souping it up… even if it is the humble lawnmower.

You don’t believe me? Check out: www.xtrememowermayhem.com.
Stay tuned for Part 3 [...]

Murray, the 80’s lawn tractor

We live on a 3/4 acre property, which has the potential to be pure awesomeness. The problem is this: big purely awesome property = big purely painful maintenance, and those of you who know me will testify that maintenance is definitely my middle name.
One reason why I decided to buy the property in the first place was that I saw [...]
