Round Up
January 22nd, 2007
Well I have to say I was horrified to read the stories regarding things that ahem… fell off the truck or ahem… disappeared in response to the previous post. I know I asked for your comments but they fell a little close to home. As I round up some of the happenings here for the past couple of weeks allow me to share a story about a man and his stone wash denim jacket that ahem… disappeared one move.
Picture a man. Going on a journey. Maybe he is travelling from Brisbane to Canberra maybe it was the other way around. Maybe he can’t remember the exact move when the event happened. A strange occurance happened. Before moving this man owned a stone wash denim jacket. Several months after the move as the temperatures begin to fall said man turns to his wife and asks ‘where’s my stone wash denim jacket?’
Her answer is ‘I dunno.’
His eyes narrow. ‘What do you mean you don’t know?’
Eyebrow arched ‘I don’t know what happened to your ugly denim jacket.’
‘Oh I think you do know!’
‘I PROMISE I don’t know.’
‘mmmmmm’
And that is the end of that. The promise has been made I have to accept that the denim elves stole the jacket in the middle of the night.
On to more pleasant things! We have just launched our latest blog project ‘Pop Culture Heroines‘ so it would be great if everyone can get along and take a look at that blog. We’ve got two articles on there already and we are always looking for submissions!
Ripley and the role of protector in Aliens
The first of the superheroines?
And finally some really good news Quit Your Day Job was reviewed over at Bloggy Award and we got an overall experience rating of 10 which means that we’ve won the right to display the Bloggy Award Winner badge!!! I’ll be adding it to the template sometime over the next couple of days.
And just so you crayola fans aren’t left worrying - in between packing I’m working on a piece that I should have finished by tomorrow and that’ll be the last for a little while until we’re sorted and our of this place.
We have a themed Jack Fact too considering the move - credit goes out to my friend Andrew for this remarkably pointlessly gory one:
Jack Bauer once got told to move from his rented house. He killed the landlord, the real estate agent and ten people who just happened to be walking by. Jack moves for no one.

Congrats for the Bloggy Award. Considering your writing style and the general fun quotient I’m seeing here, I think it’s well-deserved. Have added Quit Your Day Job to my blogroll. Hope you don’t mind. Cheers

I really like this one, it’s funny, to death! I can actually picture this.
I’ve had so many items of mine ‘disappear’, but, have no fear, I’ve returned the favour many times, too! - LMAO…

Veda - thanks for the kind words! You’ll be happy to see your site in my blogroll too - I can’t surround myself with enough people saying nice things like that!!!
Actually I’m going to be cleaning up the template here in the next month or so and I’m going to go through the blogroll and add the people who should be there and cut away some of the dead wood. So if you’re not on there already please don’t take offence I’m just getting to it.
Nav - you can picture it because this conversation actually took place LOL

I never touched the jacket. If I had been responsible for it’s demise I would have proudly admitted it, but alas I cannot take credit for that…

Congrats on the Bloggy! Well deserved. I think some of the funniest converstations happen between a husband and a wife. You just tend to know each other so well, neither one can get away with much.
Looking forward to the newest crayon art!
