I had this sent to me from a friend in Australia. I like the guy’s approach – he does have transferable skills which would serve well in legal endeavours.

Now that 2006 is well and truly here – in all it’s shining glory (or not if one is in Auckland – the old chook will attest to that) – time to reminisce over the year just departed. As such, as funny, momentous, poignant, or just plain weird moments come to mind, I’ll share them with you.

For now, I’ll start off with my birthday party, and the look on Phil’s face when in fact it was a pony :-p (one day when I can be stuffed typing, I’ll explain the story behind the pony)

This was brought to my attention by Rod, a fellow Apple admirer from the sunny climes of Melbourne. Thanks Rod!

The Washington Post’s Style Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the winners this time around:

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.
8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
11. Karmageddon: It’s like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s like a serious bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
13. Glibido: All talk and no action.
14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you’ve accidentally walked through a spider web.
16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you’re eating. And the pick of the literature:
18. Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an arsehole.

Personally, I think the first is most fitting, considering the election heading this way Saturday, and all the machinations going on at present. It’s kind of a sobering thought when thinks about it and yes – it is our money. Actually, once we get some of that back, sober won’t be an issue for many…

I just may be in possession of photos that may be somewhat embarra… amusing to certain parties.

Related to this, I had a conversation with a good friend of mine about whether I’m mean enough to publish them on the web. We did both agree on the answer to this but I thought I’d let my friends and family decide – hence I’ve enabled comments, for you to have your say (and vote for whether I should publish more :p)

I mean – it can only be character building for all concerned, right…
