The Daily Nick - August 2007

Thought on John Howard and Wikipedia

August 24th 2007 07:06
Well, at least its encouraging to get some feedback. According to the ratings, people don't care for political commentator commentary, which is fair enough. What is interesting is that people much prefer jokes about the profoundly disabled. Go Team Political Correctness.

A special hello to the person who stumbled upon this blog by Googling 'pre-teen crushes

George Megalogenis Comment

August 21st 2007 07:28
I've just finished reading a book by George Megalogenis called 'The Longest Decade'. Well, when I say I just finished it, I mean that I finished it about two weeks ago. But it's not like I've been blogging often enough to make it appear that outdated. It's just the delay between my reality and what you read on this blog.

Just briefly, I'd like to say that I'm disappointed that the first chapter wasn't called 'Megalogenesis'. That was such a missed opportunity

Stephen Hawking Question

August 20th 2007 11:19
I've been seriously neglecting this blog, and I'm sorry. This isn't a proper update, but simply an observation. Do you think that Stephen Hawking uses the acronym 'lol'.

Brady Bunch Query

August 13th 2007 01:18
In the thirty-eight years since the Brady Bunch was made, I’m sure that this must have been pointed out by someone else. How come they are always worried about their financial situation, yet keep a maid? What sort of single-income, six-child suburban household can afford a maid anyway?

Influenza Part Two

August 8th 2007 01:59
I toyed with calling this entry Flu2, after everyone's favourite over-earnest Dublin band, but then I realised that over-earnest Dublin bands is a rather narrow field, and most people as a result don't care for U2. Oh well.

I had a terrible night’s sleep last night. Actually, I say last night. My system of backlogging blog entries means that to you it would be Sunday night/Monday morning. But it shouldn’t matter. It’s not like you were there

Influenza Part One

August 7th 2007 01:39
I have the flu. Perhaps its poetic justice for a joke I made last week about influenza. Perhaps I just caught it from someone. I have got to stop making out with homeless people.

And I know it’s not just a cold. People say they have the flu when they just have a really bad cold. These people are sooks. I’ve had the awful headaches, the aches and pains, the fever, the blocked sinuses. Everything. I knew it was the flu from the moment I woke up on Sunday. Usually when I wake up, I think something along the lines of ‘Hello world!’ On Sunday I woke up and thought, ‘Ow, my everything hurts

Baby in a Leather Jacket

August 6th 2007 08:08
I saw a baby in the supermarket with a leather jacket. The baby would have been about two, and was sitting in a trolley. And granted, it probably wasn’t actually leather, but a synthetic material that looked a lot like leather, but one more expendable, so it can suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous infancy, ie- mess, without costing the life of a cow.

All I’m going to say is that a baby in a leather jacket is really forward thinking. It prepares the two-year-old for his inevitable mid-life crisis, where he’ll look to buy a leather jacket, and find himself accustomed to it already. That way he won’t overdo the crisis and end up dating Ashton Kutcher

Inappropriate Bridal Waltzes

August 3rd 2007 03:41
Don’t you hate it when a surprise inclusion of Sloop John B into the coda of an lo-fi indie-pop song challenges the notion that it is your least favourite Beach Boys song, plagues you and keeps you awake for at least another three minutes even though it is really late.

Me too

Willie Nelson Briefly

August 2nd 2007 10:33
So much for keeping The Daily Nick daily.

I will say that I would have written blog entries yesterday and the day before, were I not occupied with doing other things, like pub trivia and Guitar Hero
