UK footwear chain Shoe Zone has just announced that their financial controller Peter Foot is stepping down, thanked him for his faithful service, and wished him well in his future endeavours. In the same announcement, they said that the replacement head of finance will take over shortly. His name is Terry Boot.

As I don't follow the details of our many local state politicians too closely, I thought it was a joke a few days ago when I turned the tv on in the hotel I was staying at and saw a politician making some sort of announcement about a sexual harassment initiative. Her name? Ingrid Stitt. It was unfortunate that her twin sisters Gloria and Norma were not able to be there too.

Last weekend while was up in the land of the free in NSW I had to duck into Danistan to visit Mitre 10 in Cobram. At the checkout I noticed they had Mitre 10 masks so I grabbed one.

What made me laugh was the reaction from the bloke at the checkout when I told him I'd wear the Mitre 10 mask when I visited Bunnings back in Melbourne. Guy had a grin like a split watermelon.

Here’s a phenomenon I hadn’t considered before: the war between gay nightclubs and hen parties. I’m not sure if this is more funny or ... vaguely horrifying?!

https://www.out.com/lifestyle/2016/4/11 ... -nightlife

There was a time not too long ago when mainstream acceptance of gay people stopped short at marriage equality and, at least in more civilized parts of the country, a hen party wouldn’t dare invade a gay bar, where flaunting your upcoming nuptials in front of a crowd that didn’t have the same right was inarguably offensive. I once witnessed a hen party get tossed from a gay bar in Brooklyn for precisely that reason. The bartender called them “disgusting idiots” for even trying. But now, it seems, with gay marriage the law of the land, all bets are off for the bachelorettes.

“They walk into a gay bar and grope gay men old enough to be their fathers,” Yaz says. “They think they’re their best friends, just because they’re gay.”

They usually head straight to Yaz’s DJ booth with music requests, “straight-up ghetto hip-hop, Top 40, or completely odd requests,” Yaz says. “One time, this bridesmaid wanted me to play Phil Collins’s, ‘Take a Look at Me Now.’ I’m playing high-energy dance music, and I have a packed room. Why would I want to do something like that?” When Yaz rejected her request, she pulled her cocktail back as if she was about to throw it at him.

I go next door to the Vault, one of Provincetown’s hardcore-porn, red-light, sex-pig bars. David, the bartender, has had enough.

“This has been the worst year yet, and it has been worse every year,” he says. Earlier in the season, a bunch of women came in, took out their phones, and began recording men in heavy cruise mode and the porn on the TVs. “I told them, ‘Ladies, there’s no recording in here,’ and they said, ‘**** you.’ I had to call security and make them erase their phones.”

“I love them,” Mikey says. “I’m a Buddhist now, and I believe in karma. It’s revenge for all those Gay Pride parades. You want equal rights? Fine. But don’t expect Satan’s legion, i.e., the bachelorettes, not to show up eventually.”
