    Fighting the cause is better than fighting the effect, especially if people are already enlisted to fight the effect.

    I'll leave that up to you.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I thought they'd changed their name to used car dealers.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Oi. I used to be one. Honest Christian Brian. Never took advantage of a wood duck. Well, not too often.

    The real crooks now call themselves Real Estate Agents or get elected to political office.

    "
    Now that really would look like a "Shyster works here" name on the Sandwich Board out the front of the yard.


    No offence meant Brother Brian.

    Yeah, it’s pretty wild out there - has been all day - pretty much exactly what SA got yesterday I think. Cool change has moved through with a heavy shower - that has caked everything in a thick layer of dust now - including the Jag as I didn’t get the cover back on it in time due to the wind.

    Record November temperatures in Victoria today. Emergency fire conditions in most states. 615 houses in NSW and six dead. And it's still only November. Anyone still trying to deny global warming?
