Bid today! Have a laugh tomorrow! As seen on eBay!

Ever walked about the streets of your town during November and noticed that all the males about look like extras from dodgy police dramas from the 70s?

Ever thought - that’s a terrible looking Mo, why doesn’t he grow a “insert style here”?

Well, here’s your chance!
To raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Beyond Blue, I am putting up for auction the ability to style my MO! Live vicariously through my moustache for the month of Movember and decide whether it’s the Merv Hughes, the Errol Flynn, the Tom Selleck or the Ned Flanders that gets the nod.

The 2006 Mo

On Movember 1st at 12.01am, I will have a clean shave. For the next 15 days, I will not shave accept, underneath the jawline on the neck to have some sort of clean look. On day 16, I will style my MO in the design of your choice and further cultivate it for the month of Movember. For the duration of Movember, every second day I will post a picture of my Mo on Flickr and to this site. At the end of Movember, I will send a 5″x7″ autographed colour photo print to you showing the completed look. On December 1st, I will shave the MO off and return to my normal clean look! See the listing on ebay!

Auction certified by the Movember Foundation. See the auction listing for further details.

Waste

The last students were in here at around 6pm this evening. University of South Queensland - you should be ashamed.

From the top of a bottle of Spring Valley juice:

Liddle Facts - No. 44: Penguins have an organ above their eyes that converts seawater to freshwater.

“All we need is about a million penguins…” - nicely said Danny. I suggest that you write a letter to both Morris Iemma and John Howard, and the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, Malcolm Turnbull.

Once again I’m running in The Lap - a fundraiser for the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and I’d like you to help me raise funds.

The event is on Friday, September 14 from 7am to 5pm in Martin Place, Sydney. I haven’t finalised when I’ll be running yet, but I will shortly - so you can pop past and give me a wave!

You can sponsor me online today. Remember all donations over $2 are tax deductable (in Australia).

The holiday/honeymoon is over, we’re back at work and there’s lots to be said, done and posted about. I’ve got one dead computer at the moment so photo processing is taking a little longer than I would like, not to mention where it sits in my priority scale at the moment. After all I only took about 2000 shots over the month.

Anyhow, stay tuned - I’ll be back with regular programming updates shortly. Old friends, you can now find me on Facebook as well.

Right… I’m getting married today.

Then we’re going to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

See you in 5 weeks.

You have to love the media and how often they present such an uneducated view of their topics of discussion.

Take the tragic shooting that occurred in Melbourne yesterday - note the reputable news source. With one person dead and several others in critical condition, the media have importantly focussed on the assailant, but also on one of those that was shot.

Kaera Douglas was a victim of the shooting on the corner of Flinders Lane and William Street in Melbourne’s central business district yesterday morning. With the wonders of Google and the power of it to search every nook and cranny of the web, we now know she has a Myspace page.

Mark “Chopper” Read is in Douglas’s online network of contacts, although this doesn’t imply she is close. The site allows people to link themselves to celebrities, with former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, singer Jewel and porn star Jenna Jameson all listed as “friends”.

Oh please? Did you actually know that you can add anyone as a ‘friend’ on Myspace? I do realise that you used quote marks, but you surely added those to give your article some legitimacy. By her friends, all it shows is that she likes crap music, criminal-cum-celebrities and porn? Whoop-de-dooh. Sure, she likes motorcycles, but so do two of guys that work for me. Maybe she met Uncle Chop Chop when she was working the door of the Crown Casino? Who knows, or in fact really cares if she keeps in touch.

Erik Jensen, Daniel Ziffer or Ben Doherty - which one of you is guilty for this pap? Your journalism is more appropriate for Today Tonight than the Sydney Morning Herald.

PS. Hey Chopper, I know you’re reading this, thanks for the add.

Do you ever get sick of television networks stretching out the length of shows that are huge money spinners for them? It’s 2320, the Monaco Grand Prix coverage was meant to start ten minutes ago, yet my screen is filled with Big Brother Up Late rubbish.

Update: The race finally started at 2340.
