To be fair hitch hiking is probably safer now than it used to be since so few people do it now so a murderer is unlikely to target hitch hikers.

A friend of mine in Africa sends me snapchats of her hitchhiking constantly.

Some poor women willingly got into a car with that husband and wife in Perth?

You'd think a husband and wife would be safe but no, next minute you are tied up to a bed, raped repeatedly and then killed.

Eric Edgar Cooke was our worst.

Cooke's killing spree involved a series of seemingly unrelated hit-and-runs, stabbings, stranglings, and shootings. Victims were shot with different rifles, stabbed with knives and scissors, and hit with an axe. Several were killed after waking up as Cooke was robbing their homes, two were shot while sleeping without their homes being disturbed, and one was shot dead after answering a knock on the door. After stabbing one victim, Cooke got lemonade from the refrigerator and sat on the veranda drinking it. One victim was strangled to death with the cord from a bedside lamp, after which Cooke raped the corpse, dragged it to a neighbour's lawn, then sexually penetrated it with an empty whiskey bottle, which he left cradled in the victim's arms.

I don't understand this product.


It's a great ad that catches your attention with a hot chick talking about her devils donuts but who the hell would actually buy it?

Most people just buy regular air freshener, why would you buy a product that just tells everyone that your're just buying it to cover up your stinky poos?

I'd be embarrassed to buy it as a bloke and I'd imagine most women would be even more embarrassed to buy it as they like to pretend they never do a poo.

Never understood the point of that. Some dickheads come up with the dumbest shit someone invented a paper folder on dragons den. Was like a thimble and it folded paper.

I was astonished when I first went to Africa and hitching was a perfectly normal way of getting round. It was a lot of fun too.
Still is in parts of NZ.

Technically in SE Asia as well. In that you hail a cab and they say yep for $$$ I'll give a lift. (Generally not cabbies thou. Could be anyone).

I don't get it either. Who sprays some air freshener stuff before taking a shit?

Speaking of products I don't get, I went into a K-Mart today and the annual stocking fillers are filling the aisles. So much crap that no one needs. We talk about not burning coal, driving less etc. but if we cared about the planet we'd stop using resources to manufacture complete shit.

Anyway, I really don't get these things:


Does anyone that has one of these in their house ever actually use it? Not once have I been at home and thought 'I fancy a glass of water, but what I'm missing is some kind of intermediary vessel between the fridge and my glass'. I mean if they held 20 litres or something they'd be useful for catering large events, but most of them hold a couple of litres so you could just use a jug.

People like to think they are saving the planet by doing things that appear to be doing good.

Its why people always turn the lights off at home even though they use a minuscule amount of energy.

Think about how much food is wasted and the energy required for that.

Have you read into how bad cruise ships are pollution wise?

'Each day a cruise ship emits as much particulate matter as a million cars'

My wife bought two. To be fair, she busts them out at every party and puts mint or cucumber in, just like the picture suggests. I don't drink water other than to live, so don't get it myself.

Never heard of this Milo chap until this week.
He's a product of the media. They pump out articles about him, because people are going to have extreme views about him one way or another, then they wait for him to come to town, so they can bring their cameras and report on the chaos that ensues. It always makes me laugh when a media outlet has the audacity to start a report with "It's the story that won't go away..." or "It seems like you can't get away from <<name>>...he's everywhere these days." Yeah, thanks to you.

I don't really understand the gambling industry, or more precisely, the putting lipstick on a pig aspect of getting all dressed up to go to the Spring Carnival, or for a night at Crown. Wankers who think they're James Bond, because they're at a table at the casino, by and large.

I've got one. I use it when we have people over or have a party. I put punch or water with fruit in it.
