Overheard....

For those who know what mX is, you might be like me and flip to the back pages of the newspaper to the 'Overheard' section. It's quite good for a laugh!

Examples from mX, 13 September 2010.

Boy 1: "What is dyslexia?"
Boy 2: "Dyslexia is a severe form of dementia"

or

Girl 1: "Oh no, I've spilt tomato sauce on my shirt."
Girl 2: "You better wash it with wet water"
Girl 1: "Wet water? Yeah, I've tried dry water and it never works"

Others include:

Girl 1: "He's so weird"
Girl 2: "Maybe he has ACDC or something"

Boy: "It was so cold, and I was wearing only a T-shirt and a thong"
Girl: "A thong?"
Boy: "Oh wait, no, thongs! I swear I said thongs"

Eurovision

This was a while back...

I was watching Eurovision with my sister (who had the remote, I had no choice but to watch it) and the last country to perform came up on screen. There was a short clip of people cheering and a massive flag of Turkey came up on screen. My sister looked at it and yelled out:

"OH.. MY... GOD... I CAN'T BELIEVE CHINA IS ON EUROVISION!!!"

A Just Plain Stupid Video

Just admit it - whether you like it or not, we all do stupid things.

Music: Calvin Harris - Neon Rocks

Maths, Maths, Maths

I was in a senior maths class when this utterly shameful and stupid moment happened:

A mate of mine walked up towards the table, ready to hand in his work and yelled out to me “Hey Jeff, what’s 2x8 again?”
I really should of paid attention but didn’t (distracted by the my work and by others in the room) and yelled out with the fullest of confidence “Oh yeah, its 12”

Half the class turned, looked at me and just shook their heads (probably in shame) while my friend just said “Ok”, wrote down the answer and handed his work in.

Hmm and I’m studying to be a teacher.....

Alpha Kenny Body

Now say the title again - out loud. And again. A little faster. Did you get it?

A friend of mine messaged me this video on youtube the other day, where youtuber KevJumba plays a little mental game with his father. Made my day :)



Now why not go and try it on someone? See how long it takes till they get it!

'Single Ladies Gone Wrong'

I have always wondered why there was so much hype for Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” song and especially the video clip. The video clip, judged as Video of the Year 2009 (...cue in Kanye West to disrupt this blog if I were to suggest otherwise...) has been seen by thousands, not if millions of viewers around the world.

Probably should not confess to this but I have actually seen the original video clip. I won’t judge that people dancing in front of a camera is refreshingly original but what has resulted is really fascinating and ‘Just Plain Stupid’. Take this video for example by those on YouTube mocking Beyonce and Co’s dance moves:

Even Justin Timberlake had the guts to perform a parody on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and there is a much worse parody from an overweight man dancing to this song in a leotard, surprisingly with 13.1 million viewers. Watch if you dare!

While somehow linked to this video clip is another, which just made me 'LMAO'. (Poor girl, I hope she recovered!)

Work Uniform!!!

I would have to say out of the week, Thursdays are my busiest day - I go to uni from 10am-3pm and then there is an hour drive to Penrith, followed by work from 4pm to 9.30pm. So naturally, I have to pack all my work clothes and bring them to uni with me for work. Well not yesterday......

What's worse, I didn't realize until I got to work, an hour away from where I live...and just my luck, the only spare uniforms were the girls uniform.

STEVEEE

Message bank

One of my best friends is staying over at my house. We watch a few movies and she realises that she forgot her mobile phone. She calls her home phone using my home phone - the phone rings and rings. Finally, the phone stops ringing and the message bank kicks in:

Message bank: "Hi, how are you?"
My friend: "I am well thank you."
Message
bank: "How was your day?"
My friend: "It was good thanks."
Message bank:
"You have reached the message bank of this house. Please leave a message. *beep*"

At the end of the 'conversation', I said to her: "Didn't you realise that was your own voice? You put that message on your own message bank......"

Stupid car stuff

SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DRIVE




Honestly, how does this happen??

A Brilliant Plan

I've come to realise that I continuously forget to take my phone with me when I leave the house. I'd usually become concious of this when I'm halfway towards my destination. It's then that I think of a brilliant plan -

I know! I'd just call home and they'll bring it to me......oh wait. Genius, you don't have a phone.

What an idiot.

The Watermelon Man

Do you know the Watermelon Man? You mean the Muffin Man? No, the Watermelon Man. You don't? Well then, I must introduce you to him.

Forth year running, Channel 7's Australia's Got Talent seems to get more and more peculiar. Now don't get me wrong, many of those who step on that stage have bucket loads of talent - be it dancing, singing, beat boxing, contortion, acting, juggling fire torches, etc, the list just doesn't seem to end. There are also those who go on hoping to bedazzle the crowd, which they do in an unusual way. The Watermelon Man would have to be one of them.

Walking on to the stage, his upper body covered with blue, red and white paint, the only thing that was running through my head was "this must be a joke". My judgement was reinforce when the music starts and he does some kind of dance ritual. When he raises a watermelon over his head and begins smashing it against his skull splitting it in half, I'd come to the immediate conclusion that he was either a lunatic or a complete drunk (or maybe even a combination of both) and couldn't possibly go through with such a "talent". But I was completely wrong.

I don't know what is more bizarre: the fact that a middle aged English teacher is smashing watermelons on his head (I wonder what it would be like to be in his classes) or that all three judges in the panel admitted him to the next round. I'd like to see what his next act would be. Maybe go for the durians?

Well, you be the judge:

Trees have feelings too

The other day in one of my environment subject practicals we examined trees. This particular practical consisted of measuring the circumference of trees within 120 metres of the bush land. Each group member had a job - it was either measuring, writing or picking the trees to measure.

One of the guys in the group decided he wouldn't count one of the trees so he pushed it over. About 15 minutes later I said, "We should count that tree, even though it is not that big, it is still a tree". He said, "Ok", and somehow managed to flick the tree into the standing position it was originally in and hit himself in the face in the process. When I saw it happen it was all in slow motion - watching the tree flick whilst the leaves hit across his face was priceless. I don't think he could even try to do that again.

What's 'The Zoo' about?

Was watching TV with my sister yesterday and when I switched channels, the voiceover for the end of the commercial came on:


"...on 'The Zoo', Monday Night at 7:30..."

My sister tilted her head, looked at me and said, "What's this show about?".

Stupid!

So I was driving home from the central coast with my family in the rear left passengers seat of a car when I see a huge huntsman spider crawl along the outside of the window. I was sitting next to my sister at the time who has a big phobia of spiders. Me trying to be a show off tried to tap the window to get it to move...it was then that I realised that the spider was in fact on the inside of the window. I think I screamed the loudest ...
