quotable quote #3

February 18, 2008

One of the must-get souveneirs from Indonesia is the sarong, an essential item to any Indonesian (man or woman) living in the villages.

At our Indonesia Missions dinner reunion Rob purposefully disengages himself from the team and vehemently rejects the idea of wearing a sarong, insisting that…

“a sarong is so wrong.”

There is no ‘i’ in team, Rob.

Me: “You were supposed to Facebook me! What happened?”

Ivan: “I blew my nose on the napkin you wrote it on.”

Smooth. Real smooth. Hahaha!!!

Ahh yes. We have all experienced the stinging sensation of being bitten by a march fly as the nasty sucker tries to draw blood from our precious life supply, haven’t we?

Made this raspberry cherry icecream cheesecake (still uneaten) cos…

I can’t bear to have my heart broken!
You can’t have a piece of my heart!
You wouldn’t put a knife through my heart, would you?
It’s not for sale!

This photo cracks me up everytime I open it!!!  Sara and I were in Noosa, QLD, slowly browsing through high class portraits, paintings, vases and other artworks when we found this good-looking old man in the corner.  Don’t they look like identical twins seperated at birth???

Reverse chauvinism

October 5, 2007

Judith: Hey, do you have any ideas for food in Jell’s Park for our team outing?

Lisa: How about if we get everyone to bring a dish? Or since it’ll be outdoors, what about a BBQ?

Judith: Yeah I thought about that but we don’t have enough guys to cook for us.

Watching Carlton vs Melbourne last Sunday was a bleh bleh bleh boooore. Both were bottom-of-the-ladder teams hoping to lose so that the loser gets first pick in next year’s player selection.

My theory is that in a game like this, both teams should try to kick goals for each other. At least then they’d try a little harder.
