Who is dressing the channel 10 commentators? The look ridiculous.. So many stripes, so many directions, so many colours. Fail.

Went to my step grandsons 2nd birthday party. Just when I start feeling old, I get to see a bunch of people the same age as me, who all look (IMO) lots older. :P

Nice. :D

A couple of things.

I think this may be a sign that I'm losing my marbles though. Yesterday I was driving home from the station and some douche reversed out of his driveway and nearly straight into me. Thank goodness I have ABS because I hit the pix really hard and blew my horn at him. He opened his window and started saying something but I couldn't hear him because I was cranking Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" (I know, super old school in da hood, right?). So I turned down my stereo, opened my window and yelled "WHAT??" and he asked me where my headlights were. I LOST IT. Went off my nut at him asking where his effing eyes were, it was still daylight (obviously, we were looking at eachother and talking from a distance and could still see eachother, a couple of street lights has switched on but by no means all of them) etc etc with a few more expletives and he drove away. Really quickly. Like he was trying to escape. Then I just couldn't stop laughing! I must have looked like a nutcase.

The other thing happened this morning. I was walking outside Southern Cross station and I saw a flyer on the ground that said "Throw away this flyer". Does anyone else find that funny?

It didn't make me laugh but I wasn't sure where else to put it. I think I saw Sheriffe on the train today. Sheriffe, was that you with the yellow bag?

This St.Kilda chick was in front of me at the parade.. She overheard me say to my Mum, "Why give out red hand clappers? Clearly they want the crowd to look black, white and red!"

This girl turns around and goes "That's because channel 7 love St. Kilda!" with this big stupid grin on her face.

I said "Yeah, but tomorrow night they won't!"

Oh my god, the look on her face! PRICELESS!

She hated me from that moment on, and it was awesome!! :D

Love always, Alyssa xoxo

hehehe nice one. I yelled at a StK supporter at the parade. We were walking on the path near the pub on Flinders and some douche yells out - "Stop walking through the aisles!". So I said, "It's called a footpath f*ckstick and you're standing on it". On the way back past the same douche I yelled "STOP WALKING IN THE AISLES... moron" and then had a bit of a giggle about it.

I went to an Internet translation site, to translate the term "small orgasm" from English into a different language. Don't ask why.

A variety of answers but apparently that term doesn't exist in Hebrew, there was nada as a response. :shock: :P :lol:

Well, I found it funny. :wink:

I love the French term "la petite mort". Equating orgasm and death, very European. :P
Wikipedia wrote:La petite mort, French for "the little death", is a metaphor for orgasm.

More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm, or a short period of melancholy or transcendence, as a result of the expenditure of the "life force". Literary critic Roland Barthes spoke of la petite mort as the chief objective of reading literature. He metaphorically used the concept to describe the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature.

A recent study of brain activation patterns using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) give some support to the experience of a small death:
"To some degree, the present results seem to be in accordance with this notion, because female orgasm is associated with decreased blood flow in the orbitofrontal cortex, a part of the brain that is crucial for behavioural control."
"Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange
