What's In A Name

If Mr. Smith's forefathers were smiths, and Mr. Miller's were millers, and Mr. Carpenter's were carpenters, were Mr. Dickinson's ancestors paedophiles !?!

PhD

You have to be smart to complete a PhD.

You have to be silly to take it up.

Does not compute.

End Of An Era

South Africa are poised to beat Australia in the one dayers, having comprehensively beaten them in the Tests. It would be hard to deny that this signals the end of Australia's supremacy. The Aussies must have known that with the retirement of their galaxy of world beaters, they were never going to remain so far ahead of the other nations as they were for the past decade and a bit. Nevertheless, they would have been hoping for a gentler welcome into the community of the hitherto also rans than the hammering they received. 

Regarding the hammering, it must be pointed out that it evoked little sympathy from the rest of the world. Had Waugh been the captain at this juncture, the papers would have been lamenting the death of a great, if not always noble, empire. Ponting has never been held in the same respect. I got the impression that the press was stifling an urge to rub it in. 

Pee Here S.V.P.

The water in the swimming pool always gets refreshed, right !?! You know, new water comes in and the old water gets drained off !?! Well, I was thinking, why not make the point of drainage a designated pissing area !?! I mean, if some lazy fuckers are going to piss in the pool anyway, let's give them a proper place to do it without having them screw the pool up for the rest of us.

Horror Movies Vs. Horror Movie Trailers

Am I alone in thinking that horror movies always pale in comparison to their own trailers !?! In the trailers you get all the spooky questions - What WOULD happen if vampires attacked a town that gets no sun for a month !?! Why is this weirdo killing all these people !?! The movie tries to answer these questions and almost invariably doesn't. Or rather the answers are almost always inadequate. Then it becomes difficult to suspend your disbelief and the whole experience goes downhill.

Thankfully, YouTube has given me an alternative that serves my purposes quite well. Now I can watch all the gory bits the movie has to offer without actually searching for any answers to any questions.

Am I alone in being scared of - and avoiding - showers for days after watching a good horror movie/trailer/YouTube Clipset !?!
