Porn for Women

During my travels around the web, I came across a video clip entitled "Fantasy Porn for Women".
Here's the link http://www.revver.com/video/991641/fantasy-porn-for-women/

So being a curious soul I clicked on the link...... and guess what I saw??

Men doing housework and looking after the baby!!!

Laugh!!!! Well I almost peed in my pants.

And by the way, if you were wondering how I chanced across this item, I was googling Dog training, came upon "My Dog Watching Porn LOL" ... as you would do; clicked on that, then "Fantasy Porn for Women" appeared in a relevant list. (Hey, I wasn't searching for 'those' sites....well not this time anyway ;-))

Out of Topic

Having read some Malaysian forums lately, the phrase; "out of topic" jumps up at me.
This seems to suggest that the contributor has run out of ideas,but in fact the phrase is used to convey the fact that the contributor wishes to digress from the main thrust of the discussion. An aside as it were. Going off at an tangent even.
Oh!.... the joys of Manglish. (Malaysian English) Don't you just love that Portmanteau word? Doesn't it conjure up an image of English being mangled!?!

A Red Conspiracy II


Man. Utd. has returned to winning ways. Is this because they were playing at home, or that they were playing against a weaker team? Or is this because they were playing in red!!!!
On the evidence of the phantom penalty, I would suggest that it's because of the home strip.

Ops Sikap ala Marmite

Malacca, Today: In the 22 days since Ops Sikap was launched the daily "accident" rate has been declining, according to Chief Inspector Salve of Marmite.

"You know ah..... when we first started this operasi, the "accident" rates were very high. The ones involving puddles were in multiples of three, while the more solid ones were occurring daily."

"Sekarang, "puddle accidents" average about one a day, with "solid accidents" almost eliminated. Semua dah kurang dah!"

Yesterday, due to the "balik kampung" weekend and the subsequent increase in traffic volume, there were an accident of each type. "What to do... you know lah....weekend drivers lah!"

"We hope that as the driver of the dump truck matures, all accidents will soon be a thing of the past."

Briefly

It suddenly struck me that the name; United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) is actually in English. Isn't this a little strange??

Doggy Vocabulary

With the ongoing puppy training, I have discovered that I've had to adapt standard English for Marmite. For ease of understanding for a dog, I've decided to keep the command words to a minimum and to one syllable.

Below are the new definitions for the following words.

No: don't do that, leave, that's bad and everything that has negative connotations
Bone: Anything that is allowed to be chewed

MacBook Air III

My MBA is showing signs of breaking down again. 

The complaint I had about a month ago, where the logic board was replaced has shown up again. 

Having made a complaint directly to Apple's Care-line they have agreed to replace my computer with a new one. 

Oops... wrong Lemmon, meant the one with one "m". Sorry Jack.


Great, I can now get rid of this lemon!!

Are You More Anal Then An English Teacher?

The "Sage on the Sofa" questioned my use of the expression "complete lack of" in an SMS. His contention was that if lack means "an absence of"; then "complete lack off" would be a reiteration and the adjective "complete" would be redundant. However upon checking a dictionary, he was loathed to discover that the definition of "lack" is rather imprecise, and could actually mean an absence of; or a deficiency of. 

Oh ....... the pain that one gets for offering to host a booze up!!!(the purpose of sending the offending SMS)

But ........ chalk another one up for the English Teachers!!! Yeah!!! ;-))

A Red Conspiracy


After the debacle of a steward's enquiry at the Belgium Grand Prix, I've begun to see many a conspiracy in favor of teams in red.

Case in point, Liverpool's win over Man. Utd. The home team kitted out in red won.

To top this off, Toro Rosso (Red Bull) won the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday.

 Was there a more unlikely winner??? Not unless you're a red team.
