Tony was sitting on a park bench munching
After the 6th candy bar, a man on the bench across from him said, Little Tony replied, "My grandfather lived to be 107 years old." The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?" Little
Tony answered, "No, he minded his own fucking business."
I've always been of the opinion that restaurant critics are basically full of shit. This evening's meal did nothing to change that opinion. A local Chinese restaurant - The Silk Road - has often been mentioned in all those regional "best chinese restaurant" awards. No small achievment, as the quality of Chinese cuisine in Canberra is absolutely the equal of anywhere on earth. We thought we'd try it out. It is located in a small, quiet suburban shopping building (too tiny to be called a "centre"), which is usually a good sign in my experience. The interior looks great - about as posh as you can get while being able to enter wearing a motorcycle jacket. Nice atmosphere. The entrees (chicken satay sticks and crab n' sweet corn soup) were actually quite good, though overpriced, and certainly no better than at far cheaper local restaurants. We ordered two cokes, which were flat. Kinda hard to screw up a soft drink, but these guys did it. What really gave me the shits was the main course: supposedly "fried chili beef". Quite why it was called this is a mystery, as what we were given was a plate of fried, shredded carrot. I dunno about you, but when I order a beef dish, I want it to consist mainly of beef. There was almost no beef in this at all. In fact, hold up your two little fingers and imagine they are made of beef, that would would be more meat than we got. There was actually so little beef I have no idea what it tasted like. All there seemed to be was a giant mound of fucking carrot. Oh, and the fried rice had fucking peas in it. Wow, Haute Cuisine a la TV Dinner. Yeeeeurrcchh. $41 for two entrees, flat coke, a crappy small fried rice and a mound of "beef flavoured" carrots. Well, it all looked nice, which after all is what counts to restaurant critics. That and the icy, snotty waitress. I
should have stayed home and chewed my toenails.
Well
whaddaya know, Kim Beazley has said horrible,
rude, impolite things about the London bombers. Of course, lots of
leftist weenies are outraged.
"Cuba Strengthens Socialist Economy" The Green Left Weekly brings us a proverbial avalanche of wonderful news:
(Um, I thought Cuba didn't have any poor people? Isn't this a classless society?)
He's right ya know: such "enrichment" is usually measured in prison terms.
What, they don't pay a cent for these world class medical facilities?
No dirty capitalist hospital could ever produce such world-class healthcare.
Those Cubans are so lucky, aren't they? Like this guy, who was lucky enough to be able to take his father to these facilities on a wheelbarrow:
Welcome to Cuba, the paradise for leftists the world over. - Where being imprisoned for political dissent is part of a "a mass social movement for the liberation of humanity", - Where being robbed of freedom of movement, assembly, speech and being kept in poverty is part of the "government’s commitment to making sure the fruits of that recovery reach the poorest and most vulnerable citizens", - Where enslavement of the entire population to the vanity of a mass-murderer, the mass poverty, the concentration camps for critics are examples of Castro having "immeasurably enriched people’s quality of life in ways which can’t be measured in dollars". Hey, it all sounds wonderful to me. Odd though, that so few of the world's leftists actually want to go and live there. *Sigh*.....So many communists in the world, so little time to beat them to death. (photos

After three seasons of underachievment, Kentucky lad Nicky Hayden has blitzed the field to grab his first premier-class victory, at the first US GP since 1994. Nice to see Colin Edwards finish 2nd. Valentino
finished 3rd. The brainless swarms of Rossi Ejaculators must be very,
very cranky.
Maybe instead of a second-hand VTR, I'll get myself a second-hand Suzuki TLS-1000.
One of the most notorious sportsbikes ever made. Released in 1997, the brutal 1000cc V-twin excited and scared in equal measure. Thanks to some dreadful suspension design, particularly the stupid rotary damper, the TLS was an ill-handling pig of a bike, which was involved in so many accidents that Suzuki was forced to perform a recall to fit a steering damper. The bike's reputation never recovered, and sales weren't as good as hoped (the same sad story was later repeated with the superbike-spec TLR, which I wrote about here) . The bike did produce a considerable fan base, mostly thanks to its awesome engine, which delivered huge gobs of power and torque at the smallest twist of the throttle. With some suspension mods (most importantly, replacing the whole rear unit with a coventional shock) and swapping the 190-section rear tyre for a 180, the bike could be made much easier to ride, and by all accounts is a wickedly fun mount with tons of character, although it's still a bastard of a thing compared to the current batch of four-cylinder superbikes. Personally, I've never been on a proper ride on one, so I'm keen to try it. I love the muscular looks and sound of the bike, and Australian journalists mostly reckon the ill-handling traits were exaggerated by European journalists (which is especially hard to understand given Australia's shitty roads). There aren't that many on the used bike market though. People either crash them or want to hold onto them. If
anyone in Oz has one in good nick they want to get rid of, drop me a line.
