Canadian oysters

BC oysters are gargantuan, breathtakingly muscled city-levelling monstrosities from which even Godzilla would flee in terror, tail tucked neatly between giant dinosaurian legs. You don’t mess with our oysters. Our oysters can kick your oysters’ ass.

Especially once I tell them that YOUR oysters need Viagra.

I then turned to my partners and said “boys – we are going to feed our oysters Viagra and other minerals and vitamins that help with erection dysfunction”. They of course thought I was kidding… within the week we had our web sites, business names and a patent pending application lodged.

We then began the process of feeding oysters the Viagra and other minerals etc in glass and stainless steel tanks.

All I can say is that eating a dozen of these Sydney Rock Hard Oysters® sure as heck works!

What? It’s not really for the oysters at all? Well then, who could the Viagra be for? Hello, Australia? Hello?

Funny, everything’s gone quiet on their end. Maybe I intimidated them?

a Sunday night of romance

veiled statue by rich hugunineDorothy Parker has an heir. Please go to max‘s blog and read her story Table for Two; it is all of the things a Dorothy Parker story is except motivated by hopeless unrequited love for a closeted gay man.

I think.

lyrics over the jump. Who’d have guessed I’d be all about the wistfulness tonight (or, indeed, ever). It probably has something to do with the first summer storm and the nostalgic smell of hot asphalt sprinkled with raindrops. Seriously, I must be undercaffeinated or sumpin’. If I go for a jog and encounter raccoon babies I might just start snivelling. Awwww, time to dig out the old Meg Ryan movies.

That’s right. We use it to put YouTube videos in our blogs instead of writing something.

Here’s a classic from the WaybackMachine.

NIN’s head like a hole: the accordion version!

The second in our ongoing series of accordion interpretations of Nine Inch Nails songs. This is the emotionally fraught and somewhat overwrought “Head Like a Hole” from their first album, Pretty Hate Machine. Truly, there is nothing like a good, solid accordion version to put solipsistic emo thrashings in perspective, eh?
