I was driving home one day, stopped at some lights and looked at the car stopped next to me.
There was a HUGE huntsman inside on the passenger window.
I beeped the horn a few times to try and get the drivers attention.
She was quite attractive, so probably thought it was some horny idiot.
Beeped a few times more, and she refused to acknowledge me, staring straight ahead.
Light went green, and she took off like lightening.

A few km’s down the road, I see her car pulled over, and she’s next to it jumping up and down.
I think she found the spider.
We were driving one day - well, I was passengering. We pulled up to lights at the corner of Victoria and Lygon and my partner just got out of the car and ran. Between the shrieks I ascertained that a huntsman had climbed out from behind the wing mirror, in through the window and onto the dashboard. Turns out it's hard to simultaneously wave backed-up traffic past and usher the spider back out while laughing that hard.

For whatever reason she's also terrified of moths. Me and the cat have an arrangement - I deploy the broom to stop it perching too high, he does the rest.
 
what does everyone think of the fan dangled new perf stadium?

I cant shake the feeling it looks barren, sparse and soulless

sounds silly but I reckon the speckled seats at the GABBA make all the difference to the feel of a ground

Honestly, I thought it was the GABBA with the colourful seating arrangement.
Meh.

Make em build another.

looks a bit shit but once you aim for 60,000 seats I'm not sure you can do much about that

Every mega-stadium is barren, sparse and soulless. The Gabba (not all caps) is a massive culprit.
 
I had to take a quick solo trip to Tasmania this weekend to pick up a car, I flew in on Friday evening at 7 and got the boat back on Saturday night.

I hop in the plane, window seat. For most of the wait the seats next to me remained empty, I thought I had lucked out! I figure there are two good options here, and a couple of bad options.

good options - they stay empty or I get a nice girl or someone to briefly chat to

bad options - a larger type hogging my arm rest, or a stinker, or someone who chews your ear off

So, I get a good option, over sits a nice friendly looking lass who says hello. she was very pretty so I felt a little intimidated, so I just kept looking out my window.

I did a big sneeze - "god bless you" she says

thanks I say

"have you found god?"

hmmm my ears are blocked, but I thought I heard right

I looked out the corner of my eye and notice she was wearing a name tag, said something about Mormon or latter day saints or something or other - I didn't know what to say so I shrugged

"do you want to find god? do you want to connect with him?"

I did what I always do when I get in an awkward situation, I tried to joke

"nahh, probably prefer the plane didn't crash - i'm not ready yet"

nothing - awkward silence ... I noticed an accent so I asked, where are you from?

Austria - ahh ok finally, a reference point, ive been there, I can talk about Travels.. sure beats talking about god!

so we start chatting a bit, I tried stripping away at the mormon chat but she was very persistent, had a perfect Segway back to it every time.. - evidently she had just dropped everything as a 22 year old, became a convert and next minute had flown off to Australia to knock on doors.. based in Dandenong of all places!

I looked at her like she was a bit crazy..

she asks me about my trip, how long am I away for?

oh just a day, im getting the boat back tomorrow

she looks at me like i'm crazier.

fair play.

anyhow she had an unlimited religious visa - was getting paid, plus all lodging and food and travel was paid for.. I see

24 years old, travelling the world - free, I see the cut of her jib! I guess I could knock on a few doors for that kind of opportunity..

so the 45 minute flight whizzed by in chatter, im packing my bag to get off

she's smiles and says it was nice to meet you howard moon, and digs out a little business card from her purse

my male mind, obviously thought the best case scenario - shes giving me her number!

I flip it over.. details on how to contact the Mormon church to get a book

oh, your numbers not on here.. I joked

no, only gods.

seeya, bye

on the way out, I realized there was around 20-30 of them in a huddle getting their bags, then I processed my thoughts and realized that they were each dotted singularly across the plane - surely when you book a thing like that everyone sits together?

Must have been on a recruitment drive, no door knocks up there, captive audience!

oh well - atleast it wasn't long haul, I probably would have caved in 24 hours and walked of a priest..
 
It would be at this point I would probably have said 'look don't take this the wrong way, I'm sure you're probably a very nice person but I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak to me again'.

she was lucky I am me, pretty non confrontational.. on a flight to tassie you could get all sorts!

my inlaw had a few beers in him when I saw him, he goes... she would have been running off that plane if I was there ;)

she was harmless - I do wish I took my headphones though! I thought 45 minute flight, ill just stare ahead like puddy - nup.

Headphones are handy... I used to take V/Line trains a bit though and some people will STILL talk to you after you put them in. One time I was trying to do a uni assignment with the computer out and everything and this dude did NOT shut up. :fearscream: Like how many hints do you need to drop? I'm not here just to entertain you!

Having said that you do meet some very interesting people and if you have nothing else you have to do you can learn a lot :p

Should get some good visuals when it collides with the asteroid field

I got stuck in a wormhole.. a you tube tangent of space stuff yesterday after getting in on this rocket thing...

I read there was a huge meteor that hit Australia way back when.. left that huge crater in WA.

anyhow the speed it was travelling at - I forget the actual number, was so fast that it would have gone from Melbourne to Perth in 5 seconds

that's basically teleportation!

broke my mind a bit on that one.
 
I am such a ****in Elon Musk fanboi.
