Bric a Brac

From May: Philip Glenister at the Genesis DVD premiere

From June: Facebook changes luck for lonely cat

Also from June: Opinion piece on the demise of the Australian Democrats

Also also from June: Escapee caught in air-con duct

From February 1940: Careless Talk Costs Lives posters

[livejournal.com profile] jb_wolfsies overhears a cheeky tram driver.

[livejournal.com profile] insidian is starstruck and tongue-tied.

Quotes about stupidity. (It was the first one that got me.)

A marvellous memorial to Grimmy, the departed Boston Terrier, in the form of a brilliant YouTube clip.

This bit was cut from Top Gear for reasons which rapidly become obvious.

Failure is just success rounded down.

hee! i believe i may have just inhaled one of my own sinuses over the description of one especially colorful monstrosity: 'looks like the teletubbies' squatting ground'.

Oh, boy, glad to see that's making the rounds (a RL friend who friended me had that on their LJ recently).

Bwa!

Your average net.flamer would kill to be a tenth as funny as those two.

insidian is starstruck and tongue-tied.

from the comments, possibly one of the funniest starstruck stories i've ever read: 'it'll give you BEES!!!!!'

your title for the kitten clip also made me snorfle - i like how the kid managed to combine air-swiping with an occasional face-wash. good multi-tasker. as one of the comments succinctly put it: 'nice to be so young that even the air is interesting'.
