The New Progressive Rock

Happy New Year Everyone! Don't rock out too hard.

Everyone's Parking Mad

You should have seen the traffic yesterday! It was scary to say the least. But, that's what you get when you have a city that's running a major food festival, a weekly market tourist attraction, an annual Antique Fair, a Russian Circus and hosting the finish line for one of the world's most prominent boat races. All within a kilometre of each other!

To be fair, I actually got my facts a bit mixed up on this cartoon. Apparently there were heaps of parking places on the domain near the circus. It was just that the circus tents were obscuring the signage.

Oh well, at least the joke is funny.

In The Thick Of It

Merry Christmas to Everyone out there. Here's hoping you get a little more serenity on the day than you might have had during the weeks before!

The Morning After The End Of The World

OK, Before anyone says anything; yes, I KNOW THAT THE MAYAN CALENDAR DIDN'T ACTUALLY PREDICT THE END OF THE WORLD.

That being said, there were quite a few End-of-the-World parties going on all over our neighborhood. I'm sure many many people woke up the next morning with an apocalyptic hangover to say the least.

Guns. What Are They Good For? Absolutely Nothin'!

I'm not gonna hide the fact that I'm a strong gun control advocate. I had a big rant about it in a previous post about the Aurora Killings. I think all the guns in the world should be melted down and made into bicycle gears and elevator buttons.

I realise that there are many people out there that probably think I'm an idiot for thinking this. That's alright, everyone is entitled to their own heinous delusions. But let's face it, there's a problem and it's not the people who don't own guns that are causing it.

Stricter gun control laws in America won't immediately fix the mass murdering epidemic that currently faces them. They're in it up to their necks and it'll only get worse before it gets better. But I do believe that gun control is the answer. I mean, look at the results from Australia's gun control laws implemented in 1996. It has also worked in Japan.

And Do You Pay For Shipping Back To The North Pole?

Feed the Birds, Tuppence a Bag

Scott Bacon is hoping that an extra 1 million dollars in tourism marketing for Tasmania will bring seasonal flights all year round. It's his way of trying to domesticate the airlines.

Get it?

Get it?

My Scott Bacon drawing makes him look like Peter Lorre. I mean, there is a striking similarity:
