Bunnings

What could be more Aussie than a bloody sausage sizzle at a giant hardware sewer that destroyed several hundred thousand small businesses.

 Before Bunnings a sausage sizzle meant you were at a footy club eating the only food violent drunks don't think is gay.
Before Bunnings there were small hardware places and if they didn't have it they'd order it and you'd wait for it because you weren't insane.

Before Bunnings you didn't have to act like you'd never seen a sausage on your way past a fucking greeter who checks you're not a thief on the way back out.

Before Bunnings you didn't have to look at way too many other Australians on your way to get tape and a hose to die in your garage LIKE A MAN

Before Bunnings you would go to the hardware joint in Johnston St. Collingwood where everything was pretty much piled on the floor and it was awesome.

Also before Bunnings mobile phones weren't a thing so avoiding dipshits and rarely seeing them or knowing about them was almost possible. Amen.

Hotdog Warlord

Image
  I was getting mad that the Wagner boss who seems to have attempted a coup in Russia is being called the “hotdog warlord”. Once upon a time he had a hotdog stand and I was displeased by what I saw as middle class wankers having one of their little laughs at such a working class activity. I was right that they are laughing, but I was wrong about what they were laughing at, which was of course hotdogs. In my rush to always shit on anyone in a suit, in an office, their pretentiousness and out of touchness, it was I who was out of touch, because hotdogs are funny. Sometimes people are just having a laugh. I don’t have to jump down their throats. I could try chilling out to be honest. Hotdog Warlord. How did I not reckon that was funny? What a humorless lefty piece of shit I am. What a terribly earnest party pooper. What a fuckin killjoy. I should be sent to the work camps in Siberia. I should be on a list. I should be transported to Australia and flogged with a cat’o’nine tails. In the 90

The Exciting Apple Vision Pro

Apple has an embarrassing new product that over-affluent parents are desperate to get their hands on. It’s a headset for looking at videos, that you control with your eyeballs! It’s also goggles you wear to watch the videos you made while it was on your head earlier- before the divorce- and it takes you back to those precious moments? Because the same thing is on your head? Imagine being reminded that you lost your kids because you were a too cashed up nerd, every time you look at a video of your children. Who don’t love you anymore. I joke, because I irrationally hate, but a Youtube guy who tried out this gadget was seriously excited about collecting memories with his child. Yes, bro, they grow up so fast, so strap a shame thing onto your face and gather up all those images of your child becoming increasingly alienated from you because the only part of your face they can see is your weird smile. Your strange techno smile. Your disturbing, self satisfied shitty lips. Your weird fucked
