Breaking news - Lassie press conference

At 4:12 EST, Lassie, friend and long term confident of Chloe Doonkuna, called a press conference to ally cruel and malicious rumors that had been circulating in Pet-paparazzi circles.

For days word on the street was that Lassie was responsible for depositing a dead, half eaten mouse in the front yard of a suburban house in Ainslie, Canberra. Pooches throughout Canberra were agog that such a celebrity as Lassie would stoop to such low culinary standards.

Lassie's close friend, Chloe, when asked expressed her shock, "In all the years I have known Lassie, she has been nothing but true friend, who delighted in nothing more than a good pig trotter or a good serving of PAL. The thought that she might have even been tempted by a mouse is appallingly enough, let along the thought that she might have irresponsibly thrown it away in some poor person's front yard." Chloe did go on to comment, "Mind you, in recent years we have seen a resurgence in the dark side of the force..." When pushed for further explanation Chloe explained, " you know, the dark side, meow, you know."

The carefully staged press conference saw a cool and composed Lassie confront the press pack. In a pre-prepared statement which she read from Lassie denied all rumors and said that the press ought to hound not her but the source of this kind of behavior. While reluctant to name names, when pressed (and persuaded with a smacko and a tummy rub) Lassie acquiesced: "Look, if you are looking for someone who eats mice, you only need look to those who eat them...and we all know who lives at the address where the crime is said to have taken place.

Word is now out that the source of this malicious rumor might be none other than Mr Poximus. When we called by his office his secretary said that Mr Pox was unavailable for comment and felt that he was the cruel victim of a canine-vendetta.

Internet word of the day

Canberra's one draw back....

Personally I like Canberra. Maybe it's my soft spot for rural settings over mega-tropolis cities, but there is one problem in Canberra and thankfully it only happens once a year.....Summer-nats For those who don't know what summer nat is, it is a weekend long car and motorbike enthusiasts weekend. For one long weekend Canberra is besieged by hotted up cars, people doing burn outs in the streets, fights and all manner of family goodness! We had one car staying nearby who every time they drove past made the house rumble like it was under the flight path of a 747.

According to Reuters today...

Canberra:

1. ...[is] often derided as boring and soulless (poor ol'berra...).
2. ...is statistically the best place to sustain a long life (HOORAY!).
3. ...has the wealthiest and best-educated population in Australia (funky!).
4. ...'s unemployment rate hovers at barely *.* percent (good, I still have hope!).
5. ...'s weekly wages are well above the Australian average (well, not me yet).

...yes, it is an unique city when you come to know her better... guayabex.

See, sometimes you come across to those songs that shake to the last atom of your soul? Well, this is one of those songs... at least, for me. The video is bit old (1987) but the performance is just a gem. Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - Ryuichi Sakamoto Guayabex

Happy New Year

And ye, who have met with Adversity's blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.

Thomas Hood
