Scaramouche, Scaramouche, had to do the fandango

Surprised to hear from me again?

Well, I’ve decided to check in with y’all and see how shit’s going. Tomorrow will have been 13 years since the first post was put up, so I’m doing a Yogi Award ceremony. First one is for a young woman who has been smarter than the average jobseeker, for she has won praise from MPs after she petitioned Parliament for laws requiring recruiters be honest with applicants they turn down for jobs. Ana Briggs from St Heliers in Auckland petitioned Parliament after applying for multiple jobs, but in almost every case recruiters didn’t even bother to acknowledge her applications. MPs on Parliament’s Petitions Committee praised Briggs for her efforts and determination, but declined to recommend new laws, with ACT MP Nicole McKee saying: “You can’t legislate courtesy”. Yes you can but of course you shouldn’t have to.

Goodbye to all that

Sorry to disappoint you all like that, but I just don’t have the drive to keep making daily posts that I did back in 2010. After almost a month of radio silence on my part, I have decided to stop Disseminators of the Truth. So again, goodbye to all that. And for those toughing out Dry July, just remember there is hope:

Identity can sure mess with the dictionary

The Sword of Champions

Don’t piss off Obelix or he will throw a menhir at your car

The family that dicks together

They don’t call him Cuban for nothing

Nike says it best: JUST DO IT

The Whoppers are prouder Down Under

Hermione got back

Or he could just write it Shaun/Shawn Bean

Erdogan strikes again

JACK SPARROW WINS!

But enough about that because multiple doctors have warned men and women to stop peeing in the shower, revealing the long-term impact the habit can have on your bladder. In a video on TikTok, urogynaecologist Dr Teresa Irwin shared her take on the controversial subject – explaining that while you will correctly empty your bladder by standing up, it can also train your brain to release urine every time you hear running water. "You don't want to do it all the time because what happens is every time you hear the sound of water, your bladder is going to want to pee – because it's used to hearing the sound of the water in the shower," Irwin said. "So whenever you're washing your hands, washing the dishes, your bladder is going to be salivating, so to speak, because it wants to go and pee."

Just one induction to the Sick Phoque Club this month

New Zealand Music Month may be ending (see what I did there?), but the real problem is the media keeping y’all happily distracted with Depp v Heard while we still don’t know who the lady in this photo was trafficking minors to.

Coffee, that is - black gold, Texas tea

And yet the same old shit-show continues year on year
