KFC V's Macca's

Looks like we may be about to have an advertising war on our hands, between the ever popular KFC and McDonalds.

Here is the latest advertising from KFC

Pretty damn Ballsy of KFC, and so true!

Im excited to see what  McDonalds come back with...

or the size of the lawsuit!

So I fell off the blog wagon...

So..... Not that anyone reads this BUT...

Maybe....

I fell off the blog wagon that I recently hitched a ride on due to work/study/life commitments all getting jumbled up and confused.

But I've finally sorted myself out, Ive jumped back on the blogging wagon and shall be blogging regularly from now on and hope to entertain you all with most of all of my posts.

So on the odd chance that someone out there in weird and wacky cyberspace like YOU is reading this, please enjoy and feel free to leave me feedback :)

Oh and dont forget to share me around...

Nothing better than finding a fantastic blog page well worn book to read now is there?

Insomnia and Giant Lego Men

...4.41AM AARRGHH!!!...

Oh to be asleep at this moment would be DIVINE.
(even better if Prince Charming was waiting to wake me with a kiss after I'd slept for eight hours)

Unfortunately I suffer from insomnia, and tonight just happens to be one of the worse nights.

I hate lying in bed at night waiting for that blissful moment of sleep to arrive, all cozy and warm, my body relaxed, eyes closed, hearing the clock TICK TOCK waiting and waiting as the minute hands get closer and closer to sunrise, driving down the road towards sleep waiting for my exit.....

Sh*t! I missed the exit!

Listening to my resident mouse scurrying around looking for something I might have accidentally left him, or eating Nutella out of my dodgy mouse traps that wont snap shut.

Just waiting for that little switch in my head to turn off, a bit like the light in the fridge.

But alas the switch is stuck on tonight.

Like sands through the hour glass, so is this night of my life....

So instead of counting how many twitter pages, and other random pages I'm aimlessly surfing, I decided to make up for the last 2 weeks of flying time by blogging.

And whilst randomly surfing I found out that......

GIANT LEGO MEN 

are invading....

The first one washed up on Zandvoort Beach in Holland in August 2007. (Sorry I cant translate the video or find one in English but for a story click here)

The next that washed up on Brighton Beach, UK in October 2008.

The most recent one washed up last week at Siesta Key beach, Florida, USA.

There is a message written on the front of  his shirts "No real than you are" and on the back is written Ego Leonard.

Who is Ego Leonard?

Ego Leonard has a website, (you will need to hit the translate button though) and a message...

My name is Ego Leonard and according to you I come from the virtual world. A world which for me means happiness, togetherness, all green and flourishing, no rules or limitations. The last time my world is flooded with adventurers and rapscallions. Many new meetings in the virtual world have triggered my curiosity about your living environment. I am here because I thought your world and to discover and learn. Show me all the beautiful things that are happening in your world to admire. Be my friend and tell your stories, take me on a journey through beautiful meadows, words, sounds and gestures.

Signaling 
in the 'real'world there are many rules. The society requires that you give yourself within a given group must place else you'll fall out of place. There is a need for identity and development. A visit to the virtual world gives you the opportunity to assume another identity.
You can be someone else.
Question 
But are the friends you make and really lose precisely not identity.
Is it not better to look at all beautiful things in our own world, rather than an ideal situation to realize that other virtual world.
Aim 
With a new look to our own world view. The beautiful elements see, admire and adore.

The translation isnt the best, but his message is sweet. 

I think they are the coolest thing.

EVER.

I WANT ONE AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!! BUT DADDY!! I WANT ONE NOW!!! 

(Imagine a Veruca Salt voice ;-)

What to do with my giant Lego man...... Hire him out to cut down trees, stand him at the mailbox when google street view is cruisng past, attach wheels to his feet so I can cruise round town and pretend he's my boyfriend  take him shopping....

I wonder when and where the next Giant Lego man is going to appear?

What will you do if you find a giant Lego man?

Cows day off!

...Where does milk come from...

So my son (who recently turned 3) has had a bit of a milk obsession lately.

Or to be more precise "Cow's Milk".

When asked if he would like a drink of milk he always questions "Cow's milk Mummy?" and I answer "Yes cow's milk".

He follows me around the house requesting "Cow's milk please Mummy".

Now I probably sound slack but I havn't explained to him where milk comes from and after hearing this response I assumed his day care had explained to him that it came from cows.

So I was very surprised when I asked him "Where does milk come from?" and his prompt self assured response was "Cups!"

I repeated "Cups?"

"Yes Mummy cups!"

Bout time the cows got a day off I suppose....

P.S. Yes I have now taught my son where milk really comes from 

I Can Admit it.... I WAS A StInKy BiAtCh!

...BODY ODOUR...

You never hear people talk about deodorant and body odour do you?

Unless someone smells of course.

Then everyone starts to turn their nose up and you can see their accusing/disgusted eyes turning on the offending person.

Has this ever been you?

Have you ever had the fear that those eyes were about to turn on you?

No?

I have.

Its kind of like the feeling you have as a kid and you've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

ABSOLUTE TERROR.

Over the last few years I've developed some sort of Eau De Nasty.


And unlike Pepe Le Pew

I dont think my scent is very attractive to others.

Ive found it embarassing, costly (a can of BO Basher every two weeks), and limiting in the activites and clothing Ive been able to wear (Really, who wants to see big wet patches under the armpits of my singlet on a cool winters day?).

I'd resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be a poor lonely stinky wench for the rest of my life.

But then in the one of the few moments I get to actually watch the TV (without my eyes glazing over from tiredness) I saw an advertisement that made me sit up and take notice.


It was about a deodorant that provides 48 hour clinical protection.
From that moment I was obsessed and need to know more and did a Google search to find out more.


And boy was I excited when I did!


So off I skipped to my local supermarket to get my hands on some....

I hurriedly made my way to the "Personal Care" aisle and scanned the shelves for this promised miracle product, and then nearly fell over when I saw the price.


$14.23????
(It's hard enough forking over the $7 or so each fortnight for my cans of BO basher let alone $14!!!)


So its either be poor or stink right?


Now this product claims to last 48hours even after a shower.


And I'm thinking "No way! I need more deodorant after half an hour let alone 48!"


But I'm feeling kinda stinky.


So I choose poor.


I get home and rip the box open like a kid on Christmas morning and slap a healthy amount on (the instructions say two clicks but me being stinky, I go for the trifecta).
And although it looks it, Its not really a roll on deodorant more of a rub on deodorant that comes out of worm holes after you click the dial a few times which seems just a bit weird....

An hour passes...
Another...
Four more hours...


There's no stickiness....
AND
I DONT SMELL?!?


I have a shower and go to bed without putting anymore on. I get up in the morning and again


I DONT SMELL?!?

Five weeks on Im still on the first stick that I bought.
STENCH FREE.


And so far In BO Basher costs I've saved $10.50.


The name of this magical product?

Rexona® Clinical Protection

It didn't let me down!
