| A hello-and-goodbye kind of post | Dunstan, thanks for your posts over the last two years. It's been some good reading. [view in situ] |

| A short film of the puppies at 13-days old | Personally, I would have gone with "I Don't Know" on Hello Nasty. It gives it a different feel, though it's certainly not typical Beastie Boys stuff. That, or "Raining Blood" by Slayer. I have… [view in situ] |

| A new job | If I were to guess, I'd say you're working on the iTunes music store or an Apple sub-site (like the "Powered by Wordpress" student site). Either that, or testing how well Powerbooks handle a… [view in situ] |

I'm sure most people who've heard about furries wish they hadn't. [view in situ] |

You obviously haven't heard of furries yet Dunstan. [view in situ] |

I'd just like to note that the German populace *did* know about the concentration camps, particularly those that lived nearby. Parents used to threaten to send their children there if they… [view in situ] |

Hi Jog, I agree with the sentiment you expressed in your last post, I just don't think that the latest Gulf War can be compared to World War II. They are too different. I think it's far too… [view in situ] |
|
No, you appear to be right. My bad. [view in situ] |
|
Actually Jog, that reminds me. People are far too quick to compare subsequent wars to World War II, but it's usually not a good idea. Comparing the current campaign in Iraq to WW2 doesn't work,… [view in situ] |

Of course Hitler didn't care about the Geneva convention. It was only adopted in 1949, coming into force in 1950. The guy did a lot of horrendous things, but he can't be blamed for not following… [view in situ] |

They've been made obsolete by the Communists (I mean, let's face it... there ain't no party like a Bolshevik party). I think it's just a Nazi plot to try and drum up support. At least it's an… [view in situ] |

| A shared language | Dunstan, you're not thinking on your feet. If I guy ever put his hand that close to my penis, I'd be sure to reward him by pissing my pants; shouting: "YOU BROKE THE BAG! YOU BROKE THE BAG!" [view in situ] |
| Text-messaging | A friend of mine (who does sound engineering at my church) decided that, for the benefit of the practicing band, it was a good idea to bring a radio mic into the loo with him as he went for a wee. [view in situ] |
| Being single | I'm afraid I can't feel your pain, because my past life is full of "You're cute, but you have a penis" moments. I seem to be off the lesbians for now, thank God. [view in situ] |

A collection of miscellaneous links that don't merit a main blog posting, but which are interesting none-the-less.
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.— George W Bush (9)
