Oh! Blog.

Oh! It's a blog. When life gives you lemons... throw them at someone you don't like.

Joining Facebook Groups is a Mostly Pointless Endeavour Appreciation Club

It seems that about 90% of the time, people just join Facebook groups to show that they agree with whatever statement the name of the group makes. Well, I've been browsing a bit, and found a few that I like, so here they are, to save me actually joining them:

Be an organ donor, you tightarse, you don't need that shit when you're dead.
Bindi Irwin scares the crap out of me.
I read the menu, but deep down I know I'm getting the parma.
Mandatory jail terms for animal cruelty.
I use more than the recommended two spoons of milo.
Friends don't let friends vote Liberal.
I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself appreciation society.
People who bite the chocolate off Magnums before eating the ice cream.
If procrastination were a subject, I'd be top of my class.
Those incensed by tacky You'll Love Coles quotes.

Two Things

1. I managed to go out tonight without actually closing my back door. It was locked, but not actually pulled closed. My computer, camera, ipod, and photos are all present and accounted for. My common sense is not.

2. Pizza Hut closed down! This would not be of much significance, but it did make me think that there are precious few businesses in Mount Gambier that have survived, unchanged, for my entire Mt Gambier life. With that in mind, I have a mission: to compile a list (how unusual!) of those few unchanged landmarks, and to wander down Commerical Street, and try to remember what was there around 1988-89. Let's see... off the top of my head, Golden Chopsticks Chinese restaurant, The Australian Fish Shop, the NAB and Bank SA, Cosmopolitan Pizza Bar, Exchange Printers, Mac's Auctions, those dusty old jewellers whose names I don't know... there's a few, but not many.
