Die, Fluffy Wuffy, Die!
NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! If this blog is anything it's sit-down comedy. I don't break news stories. I rant, growl, quack on and joke about them. If you can't see where this blog is coming from you're an utter peckerhead.

Swine flu in Sydney

Saturday, 18 July 2009 12:14 P GMT+10
As global pandemics go, swine flu is a really strange one. For a while there it was all over the front pages. Everyone was talking about it and basically packin' death. Turned out a few poor bastards here on Oz had caught it. But the numbers were

Susan Boyle's mental problem

Wednesday, 3 June 2009 12:52 P GMT+10
After SuBo's recent crack-up, many people have have expressed concern that she has an imaginary friend. Personally, I don't see this particular aspect of her psychological state a liability if she still wishes for a life in the public eye. Wh

Premature exasperation?

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 5:23 P GMT+10
The Advanced Medical Institute has been in hot water in the past because of its billboards. It's fallen foul of the authorities again, with its latest advertisiment being deemed too offensive and demeaning for broadcast.  The offending ad ha

Beach butt ban

Saturday, 9 May 2009 11:41 A GMT+10
Smoking will be banned practically everywhere in WA, including between the flags on beaches. Bizzare. And what'd be the point? Smoking while swimming is practically impossible anyway ... 

Hospital horror or larva love?

Friday, 16 January 2009 12:47 A GMT+10
The news that maggots were discovered in a Tasmanian hospital has provoked condemnation and disgust. But you never know, this might not have resulted from a breakdown in hygiene standards. And we might be being way too harsh on the pallid pre-flies .

Smokers still guilty as charged in Victoria

Thursday, 1 January 2009 3:33 A GMT+10
Victoria is banning battery powered cigarettes, ostensibly for health reasons. Strange, since people can still smoke the real ones there - albeit in fewer and fewer places. Hmmm. Maybe they are more dangerous than dinkum durries? They&

Excremental as anything

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 12:06 P GMT+10
Don't know about you, but I do find this gelati-gate scandal weirdly fascinating. I mean, the plot's getting thicker than the notorious scoop in question!Like, just yesterday the Coogee Bay Hotel's legal team said they had proof that

Wealth to blame ... again

Tuesday, 14 October 2008 6:46 P GMT+10
Dr Fiona Stanley may be an ace boffinette, but she's utterly clueless when it comes to questions of culture and society. Here, she wheels out a variation of the dodgy "affluenza" argument, blaming moolah for the growing health and psych

Reefer sadness

Monday, 29 September 2008 1:07 P GMT+10
Some academic reckons that dope smoking is linked to psychosis and depression. Can't say for sure if the cannabis is the cause, but. I think there is a link. But it's less to do with biochemistry than ideology ...Remember that big t

Every man and his (black) dog

Monday, 8 September 2008 2:58 P GMT+10
Keep hearing about depression in the meeja ...Barry Dickins has recently had a big-time bout with it. Here's his description of this struggle. Poor bastard was hospitalised, and had to have ECT. Now that's what I call depression. But sometime

Remember to walk (and vice versa)

Wednesday, 3 September 2008 1:48 P GMT+10
As an avid ambulator, I talk the walk.And here's another reason to extol the stroll.

The plot thickens

Tuesday, 10 June 2008 3:44 P GMT+10
Seems that NSW cemeteries are becoming alarmingly chockas with cadavers. Flummoxed, the NSW Government is asking for input from the public. So here's my two cents:Stash the surplus corpses in areas with high proportions of bong-suckling hippies a

Dopey artists

Thursday, 22 May 2008 2:34 P GMT+10
It's long been argued that marijuana causes -- or at least exacerbates -- schizophrenia. A recent study reconfirms the link.Artsville, Ostraya -- a joint I know very well -- is chockas with big time bong sucklers. You'd think t

Gap between truth and rhetoric

Thursday, 20 March 2008 11:02 P GMT+10
In yet another meaningless and symbolic act Kevin Rudd has pledged to "bridge the gap" between Aborigines and whites in Australia.  Yeah, sure.   At the same time, he's actively widening the gap with the re-introduction of th

Binge drinking apocalypse!

Saturday, 15 March 2008 11:49 A GMT+10
Some academic reckons that drunken sex is the greatest threat to mankind.I find that quite a relief, actually.  Good to know that there's at least one impending catastrophe not being blamed on global warming.

Patrick Swayze has cancer

Thursday, 6 March 2008 10:59 A GMT+10
I remember seeing Patrick Swayze in a coupla interviews from aaages ago, and he was puffing away like mad.  I remember thinking how incongruous this seemed, since he was such a fit and active bloke.Anyway, it seems that heavy smoking h

PETA on Britney

Friday, 15 February 2008 12:50 P GMT+10
PETA bleaters have opined on the possible causes of the mental illness afflicting barking Britney Spears.  They reckon it's 'cause she's been eating too much crappy fast food, especially burgers.At least they didn't blame global

The walking cure

Wednesday, 13 February 2008 1:59 P GMT+10
Just read this article on depression.  It extolls the virtues of strolling to improve your mood.As a walking addict, this makes perfect sense to me.  Of course, as the article states, exercise is good for the general functioning of the body

Suicidal thoughts

Saturday, 2 February 2008 1:53 P GMT+10
Interesting results from a global study on suicide.  It seems that having suicidal thoughts is actually quite common.  That makes me feel better.  I often contemplate committing suicide ... on other people. 

Tim Blair beats the bastard cancer!

Saturday, 2 February 2008 12:59 P GMT+10
Great news.  In his grudge match with a gruesome tumor, Tim Blair has won with a brutal smackdown.Amazingly, he managed to write about this painful, terrifying ordeal as it happened and kept cranking out the one-liners throug

Heath's habit

Saturday, 2 February 2008 11:20 A GMT+10
One thing that really surprised me about this notorious Heath Ledger drug video was his admission that he smoked "5 joints a day for 20 years".The video was shot a coupla years back which means that if his claims were true he'

Good news for drunks with gout!

Friday, 1 February 2008 10:19 P GMT+10
It seems that alcohol is not the primary cause of gout after all.  Fizzy, sugary drinks are much more likely to bring about the exruciatingly painful condition.  Dipso gout-sufferers will be pleased about this.  They can knoc

Liver a giver

Thursday, 24 January 2008 11:26 A GMT+10
Amazing story about a liver transplant witn a miraculous outcome.  Seems that the donor liver reprogrammed the recipient's immune system so that her body didn't reject it.  A fantastic outcome, since she doesn't have t

Toxic Fox

Monday, 14 January 2008 2:06 P GMT+10
Residents near Fox Studios in Sydney are getting sick.  At least one doc reckons it's due to toxic chemicals produced by the film factory. I reckon he's half right.  The cause is not chemicals related to mov

Men's increasing longevity is a feminist issue

Friday, 4 January 2008 12:51 P GMT+10
I've always found it amusing that feminists will carp endlessly about being oppressed, yet it's a well known fact that chicks all over the world live longer than blokes.If you ever challenge them on it, they huff and puff and get all dismissi
