Saw a road sign there telling us there was a pretty average speed camera, which was a moot point to be honest when you talk about those cameras.

I like speed cameras. They're cool. I just hate that they have to tell us about them. Can't they have a blanket 'there may be speed cameras on roads in Australia' sign at the airport and be done with it? Bah. That annoys me.

Apparently they don't have them in Queensland, or so I have heard. Also, my point was that police tend to be a little sneaky and dodgy when it comes to speed cameras, going out of their way to obscure them from sight and tending to put them in places where the speed you should be at is a little ambiguous (such as right at the place where the speed limit changes).

Not in NSW, that's illegal. We had a court case recently for some doctor woman who got off her speeding charges because of a 'momentary lapse in concentration', which is now going to be everyones excuse and since it worked once...

Hahaha what? Don't tell me Australia is going down to the legal dogs too! That's pure ridiculousness.

This ones pretty bad.

Partoralia by George Saunders:

"And as for Ellen, Ellen still has some issues, she'd take a big old dump in my oatmeal right now if I gave her half a chance, but guess what folks, I'm not giving her half a chance, because I've installed a protective screen over my oatmeal-not a literal screen but a metaphorical protective screen."

That's right, folks, one massive run on sentence about taking a dump in a mans oatmeal.

See, the oatmeal issue is an important one. You might not detect the load until it's too late.
Much better than stressing over vampires.

If you're showing her, how is it sneaky?

She's already done it.
Still, watching someone shit in some oatmeal is pretty bad if you're already wary of shit in your oatmeal. And if you're not disturbed by seeing someone shit in some oatmeal, you might as well just eat it and put it on youtube, right?

However* I guarantee a punch in the face for anyone trying to shit in my breakfast.
