Cripple Fight!

Disabled men 'forced into fight club' at Corpus Christi State School in Texas. Read more here.

Apparently some carers forced some disabled people into fights by provoking them. Someone filmed it and then lost their phone they would've gotten away with it too if those pesky cops hadn't found it. If I were to find a phone I'd go to the photo's and or video section right away to see what sort of nasty freaky shit the last owner had on it cos you might get lucky. Sometimes you'll even find a cripple fight. It's unfortunate that this time it fell into the hands of the law.

Anyways, stuff about reform and things but the article goes on to say.

"It's some of the worst child abuse I've seen in over 30 years,"

Ok. So explain this then.

...They suffered only minor injuries.

I don't want to appear to be a jerk, but I will. I'm wondering what it is captain? Is it the worst ever abuse or is it just minor injuries? Maybe you haven't seen that much in your 30 years after all.

Protests? Denied!

You know what I haven't seen lately? A good protest

I wonder what's happening in the world of protests? Let's search.

Wow! There's a site called protest.net! It's a calendar of protests internationally. Please go to one and live me dream. I beg you!

I don't actually know what my dream is but just do it.

Until then enjoy this random protest photo I found.



Capitalism does rock you crazy people from an English speaking country of some description.

Comedy half done for the week

I have four gigs this week and I've just done 2, that's pretty intense. When I started I think it took me about 6 weeks to complete 4 gigs. That means I'm 6 times as good as I was when I started. Probably not actually, but I do believe I'm somewhat better.

Gigs so far include Rob's graduation gig with Amanda and Dave Smiedt in front of about 60-70 people and Comedy on the Edge in front of 8. The Bedroom Philosopher was on last night and was ok. He got a bit distracted by this 70 year old bum who spoke all through his set. Mark who runs the Edge threw him out. It was funny as Mark isn't very confrontational. B.Phil as I now call him then sang a song about being asked to leave a comedy night which was quite funny and timely. I dropped my blind joke again and it landed well so I'll keep it going I guess.

Tomorrow is Mic In Hand so it should be a great night. Fire up Cashman!

Comedy Set List

I found my set list from LA. It's below.



Out of those comics, Howie the MC was good and Rich Aronovich and Miguel Fierro were good. The rest were ok. Apparently Rich did the East coast talkshow tour and was quite successful, perhaps we'll see more of him shortly. He did this one gag with his hair and the microphone and...you just had to be there. These are the breaks.

Tardiness

I witnessed a freak wheelchair accident today. It was ok as both victims had already lost the use of their legs. It made me late to work and when I got there I had an email from my boss titled Tardiness asking why I was late. I hit the reply button so the subject read Re:Tardiness. I hit send and thought that will do.

It’s hard to get off at St Leonards Station.

If I catch a train I like to get off without explaining myself. I shouldn’t have to explain myself especially if I have a valid ticket. This is no longer the case at St Leonards station because of charity collectors. I avoid eye contact and try to get through but they always see me, probably because I’m not a ninja. They’ll say hi and because I’m a smiley guy I’ll smile back. They then make you feel bad about smiling at them when in fact I’m making their crappy jobs better by presenting them with some human kindness.

I had to go to Chatswood today which meant I had to go back to St Leonards and run the charity gauntlet. The one today said that she always sees me (lies) and that I’m always in a hurry (lies again) and that I should stay and talk (unlikely). These interactions are always so awkward and I find myself justifying myself just to walk away from them “Oh sorry that I left the station and walked through the section where you’re mindlessly cluttering up the walkway and stopping me from getting back to work” I shouldn’t need to say that at all I should just yell “Leave me the fuck alone backpacker”

They also promote the spread of germs with all their hand shaking. It’s all about personal contact because when you’ve touched well then you’ve forged a bond of sorts. I don’t want your germs charity collector. I’d much prefer it if you got your chestal’s out to touch but I doubt that will happen with consideration to decency and all that.

Anyways, I think they’re rather futile. Don’t they know that people hate people these days? I’d much prefer to take care of number one than pay for some malnourished midget with one lung and scabies to learn how to swim or whatever they’re collecting for. I find myself making up elaborate lies to fob them off these days. I’ll say stuff like “I rotate my charities on a 12 month basis and I donated to insert charity 3 years ago so if you’re back here in 2018 I’ll be sure to sign up then” That usually does the trick.

Try it yourself and let me know how it went.

Stats and Melina

I wrote up some stats on the longest thread in the world that is on Facebook. It's been going since October last year and won't stop. Anyways, I sent these stats and a pie chart to a fellow comic Melina and she blogged about it. I only found out as I was doing one of those lazy Saturday morning Google searches for yourself.

Anyways, here it is. Have a look at the rest of Melina's blog while you're there, she won't mind.

I think she likes Anson...

ECRL Massive - Two Weeks On.

ECRL - I've been riding this thing for two weeks and it's mostly good.

It's pretty quick and only takes about 16 minutes and the great thing is that there's almost always a connecting train within 3 minutes of you getting off your train. They run every 15 minutes and the best thing is that it's free for another 88 days. Yippee!



Here's a photo of my first day on board

The downside is that it takes about 2 minutes to get from platforms 5 & 6 to ground or vice versa when you're at Epping and if you catch the lift you feel like you're going to some subterranean hell hole but it's about 1 minute faster.



Plus there is the longest escalator in the world (above) connecting you to the concourse under platforms 1-4 from 5&6 and invariably some jerk will stand in the overtaking lane. Also you have to buy a ticket to cover the end part of the trip. I started buying a weekly from Chatswood to St Leonards cos I couldn't stand listening to some fuckwit ask how much a ticket to Pennant fucking Hills was each fucking morning. How bout you just pay the fucking fare and fuck off? Seriously.

Also Macquarie Uni is the first stop so all these retards will sit down only to get off one stop later. Try standing for 4 minutes you fucking retards and don't rush past me when you realise it's your stop. Fuck man, seriously wake the fuck up. How hard is it to stand in the fucking vestibule area. Get a fucking clue or catch a shitty bus you fucking social fucking leper. They won't even flip the seat the right way so you're left facing one of these fucking retarded cretins while they flap around in their fucked up existence.

Finally, the service stops at 9:30pm which is crap.

All in all the good is good and the bad is caused by fuckwits who don't think not state transit (except for the escalator and the running times bit) so I can't be too angry. Please enjoy some photo's while I sharpen a stick to fuck some Mac Uni students up with. Fucking degenerates the lot of them.

Randy's Donuts GTA Style - Shortlisted!

Randy's Donuts GTA Style,

Some site called Schmap got in contact with me wanting to use my crappy photo I took from my iPhone.

It turned out pretty hot I must admit for just a snapped shot. I may have missed the deadline though, let's hope it gets through, it's pretty special if you ask me.
