Godawful Poetry for Godawful Times (number four)

Image
your brain is reacting your body is itching your mind is expanding no more speed dialling or embracing resistance your head full of nerf makes sense of your actions the advent of time the new decade is here the past is just that you are the new year [a note of clarification] This piece, from the first week of 2020, was lying around in the unpublished section of the blog. I don't know what it's about - maybe optimism for the new decade.  It was previously up and then pulled for whatever reason (as the screenshot below confirms). It's pretty pretentious and thus has earned its place as well as its right to sit among the pantheon that is Godawful Poetry for Godawful Times .

Con Artist's Husband Refuses to Give Up on Ill-Gotten Gains

Image
The husband of Melissa Caddick, who duped hapless investors to the tune of twenty three million dollars, has refused to let liquidators access the $6.2m home the couple purchased through illicit means. This is of course to try and recover some of the money which this charlatan posing as a businesswoman stole. It has been said that a person who represents themselves in court has a fool for a client .  That fool is Caddick's spouse, Anthony Koletti. Koletti's excuse is he hasn't got the time. for more details click  here  or see the screenshots below  

Godawful Poetry for Godawful Times (Nº 3)

Image
[art with a silent F --- verse for the taste resistant]  This piece really brings a tear or seven to the old ducts. Eggs on the shield of the Volvo  a fisherman's paradise marred by greasy chips a precious survivor a thief an eggplant an albino with hair your overweight neighbour in his wife's underwear a spring dance on stilts has yesterday been? if you made it this far you got further than me

2-day is 2's day Nº 2

Today being the day of two, I just thought I'd make this particular piece a continuation of my  last blog entry ... and there you have it, toodle-oo and off I go.

2-day is 2's day

Image
Today is a day like no other. The 22nd of February, 2022 (22/2/22) which by a stroke of luck has fallen on a Tuesday. The number two has come into its own. In effect, it is the day of two - 2's day.

Flush the Grammar

I feel like having a gripe at the way a news item on Channel Seven's  YouTube channel  was worded. You'd think being a national media broadcaster and as big a presence as they have, they would have found someone with a basic proficiency in English to write their video headlines. But alas, no. "Annandale pharmacist Hans Morkos unintentional drinks liquid meth-amphetamine" The concept of syntax and sentence structure seems to have been forgotten about and thrown to the wayside (or maybe the author is just plain ignorant). Is that why the comments section is turned off? I know I may seem petty in my moaning away like this. I'm sure the mistake was unintentionally made.

BLM = Buy Luxury Mansions VI : Charity Begins At Home

Image
AmazonSmile  have suspended the Black Lives Matter movement from their charity programme due to the fact that sixty million dollars (US) can't be accounted for. Gee, I wonder where it went?

Y2K ZZZ's No More

In this blog's  last entry , there was an unfortunate image of myself where I was caught napping standing up. With the aid of my extraordinary photoshop skills, that oversight has now been remedied. And no-one is any the wiser.

Password Laziness Equals Internet Strife

Image
If your password is on this list, you deserve to be hacked. It's prudent to keep up to date with the goings on in the Land of Cyber, particularly when it comes to personal security. But taking a look at the top ten (alleged) Australian passwords, the level of naivety and/or stupidity on display has reached a level where it has managed to smash through the roof and is now making it's way to Proxima Centauri. I mean, look at these things - 123456 password lizottes  password1  123456789  12345 abc123 qwerty  12345678 Holden Number two was particularly genius. Be very careful. This is 2022, not 2002.

When Crime Becomes Angular

Image
 I hope to goodness this video doesn't trigger an epileptic seizure of sorts in someone. The director of this segment from a 1998 episode of the Singaporean Tv series  Crimewatch went more than slightly overboard in deciding to show off their artistic flair in the aftermath of a necklace snatch and run.  What's supposed to be serious suddenly turns to the absurd as something like twenty angle cuts hit the viewer in rapid succession.  Meanwhile, the thieves nonchalantly stroll off.
