A penis, a pasta jar and Nobby's Beach

The Herald in Newcastle has reported the story of how a man got caught with his penis stuck in a pasta sauce jar, near Nobby's Beach.

The Police were chasing 46 year old, Keith Roy Weatherley, after they suspected he was armed. Instead, they found his hands doing 'other' things - pleasuring himself with the jar. Finally, four officers managed to free the man's genitals by using batons and capsicum spray. Weatherley said the reason he resisted Police was because he wanted to make himself appear half-decent.

Still... how funny is this story. Could it be more d*ck-oriented?
One penis. One pasta jar. And it all happened near Nobby's Beach.

Are these the perfect ingredients for a successful man-to-hand relationship?

New 'time-out' zone for the drunk

As part of the Victorian Governments' 2am lock-out policy, there will now be a new 'time-out' zone for those who have had a little too much to drink. Volunteers in this 'zone' will be serving tea & coffee, and give the drunk a little lie down for those who are really sh*tfaced.

Ok, what difference will this make? I'm sure it will be full of nothing but vomite and drunk sleazebags. Surely not the place you would like to spend your Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Will this new concept work? Will we see something similar in NSW?

... Do you think people will sneak more alcohol into these new zones? ...

Mad Rush for the wrong horse

The 2008 Melbourne Cup has been raced and won by Bart Cummings horse, Viewed. But what about all the build up for Mad Rush? After all the media's push in promoting Mad Rush as the favourite, it came nowhere near finishing first.

So yes, that means a big payout for those who did put money on Viewed. But who did?

The first Tuesday in November is the one day of the year where everybody pretends to be a 'racing guru'. The only problem is that a lot of us tend to jump on the bandwagon a bit too often.

Halloween: Just a silly American thing

At the end of the week it's that annual thing some people like to call 'Halloween'. But dead set, what is the point of it? Who created it? And why do we do it?

Trick or treat. What on Earth does that mean? Go away kids!

Why give children lollies? What about childhood obiesity? Here's a good trick - give them fruit instead.

We have always seen the American's get into Halloween with "special" shows and movies based on Halloween superstitions, but have you noticed how Australia doesn't really embrace it that much? It's probably for the better.

Halloween... Black Cats... Friday 13th... All American... All lies.

Cheap ass fuel sparks havoc

Above is a photo of Marie El-Khoury, an independent Sydney petrol operator who has continued to drop their price below $1 in protest of the big guys driving out the little ones. Her station, BP on Sunnyholt Road, Blacktown set its price below $1 for the second time this week with plenty of motorists wanting their share of this rare offer. After causing major traffic jams earlier in the week, the low price petrol was on offer again between 8am-9am on Friday morning - referred to as 'Happy Hour'.

The station says this is the only way they can compete with the bigger companies, and if all independents work together they can help to defeat the current duopoly in the Australian fuel market.

How good does it make you feel to see the small businesses do well in such hard times.

You don't see the two biggest players in the Australian petrol market do that every day.

Proposed curfew for Sydney pubs

Are they serious? The State Government is thinking of imposing a 2am curfew for Sydney pubs as a method of cutting down on binge drinking and drunken fights. But let's be serious for a minute. What good will stopping people walking into a venue after 2am do? All it means is that people will stick to drinking in surrounding areas, still fighting and doing what they do best - getting absolutely sh*tfaced.

The Government needs to look at its proposed policy and think logically. All this means is that people will now choose stay in the one venue for a longer period, and drink the same amount. A 2am pub curfew for Sydney will not be popular with anybody but those who sleep at 8.30pm every night of the week.

Review: Ready Steady Cook

So I turned on the TV today and what do I see? Ready Steady Cook. I've never liked this show at all. The whole concept of 'rush rush make the recipie as fast as ya can' is just stupid. You should go at your own pace.

And while it is hilarious to see them move at lightning speed towards the end to get it done, I still think that it's a dumb idea. Besides rushing creates mistakes. I'd laugh if they were hurrying so much that they spill something or get an egg shell in there.
