OBSCURE: I just had an idea!

How about...a toothbrush, but out the end of the handle is a hose, which goes over your tap...then when you turn it on, bam! High pressure water cleaning power on your teeth like a dentist gerni. With the recent addition of fluoride to the water and the recent lack of drought, what could be a more perfect way to keep the chompers clean and have an excuse to leave the tap running.

The origins of this idea? Doing a google search for 'brisbane send in ten trip savers for a rebate', since they're unusable after 1st January and I have plenty from 2 years ago with 3 trips on. Page 5 of the results had an entry for 'aqua blast toothbrush' (which actually links to a dodgy 'omg you are infected with 10 billion viruses!!!' site) and the rest is obscure history.

Games: Sh*t, F*ckers, Scr*bble

Lady buys Scrabble game for angry looking child's DS. DS wins games using fruity language. People laugh.

Igno-rant: Scooter twats

Well, it isn't an excuse any more. Petrol's dropped below 90c a litre, so all the blouse wearing, latte swilling, CBD dwelling, mr biggles imitation helmet wearing brown nosers who jumped on the back of the scooter bandwagon can get the fuck off with only their pathetic excuse for protective gear to save them.

Which makes what I saw this morning all the more interesting!

Well not really. Just another twat on a scooter, but with particularly twatty characteristics.

1. Like a beacon of stupidity, a tuft of blue hair poking out from beneath the 5 square inches of coverage the skull cap helmet provided.
2. The navigaton system of this douche had evidently been pulled out of a particularly retarded fly, and dropped into the headspace of this guy. It was a tight squeeze. He was slaloming through peak hour cars like an infantile child pretending to be a plane.

I did not care to hang around to observe more, the traffic was bad enough without the inevitable swarm of ambulances this guy was going to attract.

OBSCURE: Single player frisbee

I just went outside for lunch and was treated to an extremely sad site; a grown man playing frisbee by himself.

I was very tempted to take a photo but I thought it might be rude...

Igno-Rant: Andre Reeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I guess I’m not in the target demographic for Andre Reeeuuuuuu the violin virtuoso currently touring Australia who played to a packed Suncorp Stadium last night. Full to the brim with geriatrics who were no doubt horrified by the ensuing thunder storm. But what I really can’t understand is where does this target demographic come from? And how did it get so big!? Surely those interested in classical music are not going to go along and pay to see some commercialised pompous git whose name can only be pronounced if you are a member of the living dead or have severe Down syndrome play covers! So who are these massive crowds? Old people with no idea is my guess…

I did get some enjoyment out of his visit however. Last night the final episode of Shaun Micallef’s Newstopia was dedicated to “Inspektor Herring”, the parody of a Russian, English subtitled spy movie (/Inspector Rex?). The story culminated in the highly celebrated death of Andre Reeeeeeuuuuuu. You can see the whole episode online for a limited time on the SBS website (http://www.sbs.com.au/television#).

Music: USB = U Stupid Bastards

Certain albums are set to be released on DDA USB sticks identified with a little tag. Upon using the stick for the first time it is activated by a security code with the tracks then available as MP3 or WAV.

Personally I still buy CD's (and records...) and refuse to download albums but I have to say, if I only had a choice of USB or download it would be straight to iTunes...

And look at the band they use for publicity!! Rubbish!!
