We'll slice some rind from the pigs behind

After several warnings and one severe beating from the fashion police, I had a haircut My hair was essentially the same length all over due to having had a shaved head recently. Hot tip: It is not cool to have hair growing over your ears the same length as your fringe. Unfortunately, coupled with wearing that damn enormous cape thing, I had no coolness leverage to use at the hairdressers, and felt completely dejected looking at the disaster on my disembodied head that made hurricane Rita look like a tea party that involves floating bloated corpses. So, I just said for her to do whatever she felt like. It's one rung up on the ladder.

Rasterbation is heaps cool. You give it an image, and it blows it up to a massive picture that you print out over like 30 pages, for example. Print it out, stick em up on the wall, be the envy of your friends. Make a statement of your individuality, choose a picture that reflects your desired image, and use it to convince people to sleep with you. I did it to the girl off the front cover of the Bran Van album, but realized I don't have any walls I to stick it to. I am both unemployed and homeless, which is not as romantic and carefree as I'd imagined it. I have not found a single train with one of those carriages at the end that is open and contains straw, in which I may travel the countryside, singing bawdy songs and stealing bread.

That is pretty cool. You could stand in front of it and say "Damn, that's a huuuge bitch"

You are positioning yourself all wrong! You would be better placed as an artful dodger-style street urchin, homeless, but a lovable ragamuffin with a heart of gold! Everyone can enjoy that. Regular hobos smell like wee and tend to yell at people. Not so appealing.

The company I am working for would charge you £80 an hour for me giving that marketing advice… or 1/20th of £80 for the 3 mins that took me.

Right on the money, Ian. That is but one of the things one could say, however. I also recommend: "Gaze into the eye of your doom" and "Golly!"

KT, I lack the heart of gold. I would just be a hobo who is a wanna-be artful dodger, riskig the ire of my fellow hobos who know their place.

Tasteless joke time, brought to you by Neil Hamburger:

Did you hear the one about the Papparazzi with the heart of gold? He stole it from a necklace around Lady Diana's neck as she laying dying in her limousine.

I am not following any of this properly cause I have recently eaten too much granola and yoghurt, but it is making me giggle so I thought I would say as much.

Excellent, that's its purpose!

Also, that clip features the dynamic sounds of the great Secret Chiefs 3!

Mat - I think you have a heart of gold... I really do.

Please update your blog... prove me right... I'm an orphan!

And now, I'm also an ethnic minority. This guy at work thinks it's funny to call me a convict, and today when he couldn't find his pen, he accused me of stealing it, and said he was going to have me deported... Oh har de har har. He has ginger hair, so my work is done there, thankfully.

:-(

When did you have a shaved head? Did you have a ratty? Now THAT would be rad.

Call him a "ginger minger", thats the cool english way of saying "ugly person with red hair, whom all should ridicule".

(the "ng"'s are pronounced as in bling, and the "g" at the start of "ginger" is pronounced as in gallipoli, unlike the usual pronunciation of "ginger")

I had a shaved head back in the 'rat.

And I did have a good time with Chris. We sat around and marinated in our own sweat in 'the valley' which suspiciously lacks any surrounding hills.

thanks Ian - I'm breaking that one out - he just asked me if australian newsreaders swear on air.

I don't get it, is there another level that I'm missing? Apart from us all being uncouth?

Oh - so you had an original 'ratty style, courtesy of your personal stylist, Gael?

So Ging-arr, yes?

Well, you don't really stress the rrr, unless its international talk like a pirate day (which it's not).

More like ging-a ming-a.

I was taught that by an english girl called Katie, so you could say it's come full circle. Well, if you like saying that sort of thing.
