Sure sign that your suburb has jumped the shark - the people at the table next to me at my local cafe this morning ordered the following: two chia bowls and two deconstructed hot chocolates.

What is deconstructed hot chocolate?

What is deconstructed hot chocolate?

Wondered the same thing, maybe a mug of hot water, small containers of hot chocolate powder and sugar, and a little jug of milk

Maybe not that far off.

Oh my... I am getting old. Flavoured smoke?? Dark chocolate salt?

I ask them to put the marshmallows on top so I can just eat them. Is that kinda the same thing?

"Can you be ****ed making these whining campaigners their drinks anymore?"

"Nah, not really."

"Me either. Some whining shithead told me if the beans weren't warm fart roasted and hand ground by animal rescue alpacas he wasn't buying coffee here again. Except he didn't call it coffee."

"Yeah? That'd be right.


I didn't even know coffee had beans. That stuff in the jar looks like dried frog shit."

.....

"Well."

"Well what?"

"Aren't you gonna ask me what he called it?"

"Nah. I was thinking....
"Why don't we just hand them the bits and get the precious w***ers to make it themselves."

"That won't work - they pay us to make it." (Laughs)

"Yeah but these people are all lefty types who love refos and kale. I was listening to this Canadia guy who has it sorted and he thinks they're all brain damaged from post modernism. I googled post modernism and it has this thing called deconstructionism. I think its about burning books. Or ripping the pages out and separating the book into its constituent elements. - Paper and ink."

"...." ( : expectantly sceptical look )

"But wait a minute. How do they get the ink back off the pap..."

(interrupting) "So I reckon we we just hand 'em the jar, the kettle, a cup, some sugar and milk then tell them its "deconstructed" then charge them an extra 5 bucks for a coffee."

"Wow that just might work."




From a conversation heard in a Tenterfield truck stop back in June.

So they make their hot chocolate out of Bank tobacco and brown meth.

Veggie garden is going well to a degree.

However
Over the last few weeks I've noticed we've had something eating the leaves of all our beans and snowpea's. At first I thought it was the possum, though this didn't quite make sense as in previous years they have avoided our vegie garden.
Discovered the other night that it was in fact a mouse. So the focus now is baiting without killing the dog....lol. not an easy scenario as my dog is obsessed with food and will literally will eat anything.
Is yours going well?

That made me laugh and pass wind, at the same time!

My inlaws just bought a new house. In the back yard, there's a special garden shed that is supposedly for growing "tomatoes". The police even left the watering system and the massive light bulbs that help the tomatoes grow big and ripe.

The previous occupant apparently had to move in a bit of a rush.
