Australian Pirates

No I don't mean these guys (I'm sure people heard we have some funny political parties here in Australia, just like Vermin Supreme in America etc.)

 I read this the other day, how Aussies are the biggest illegal downloaders per capita in the world, I think it also has a lot to do with because we're on such a delay for shows like Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones and commercial networks have only really started broadcasting 'fast tracked' shows in the last few years here, but i digress-

Does this mean we can all start wearing Pirate hats in public? Then get known as awesome hat place and not racist bogan place?

Woo! Pirate hat party!

Lou Doillon pirate hat red carpet originality!

Perhaps my love for pirate hats won't cotton on with the rest of the Australian public, but you can't blame someone for trying!

 If something as terrifying as 'side-boob' can become a 'trend' why the hell can't this?

Stupid hats

Just like good bad taste, there are good stupid hats and bad stupid hats, here's a nifty little guide

I realise someone probably extorted a huge amount of money from this woman calling it 'fashion' and in exchange for an exorbitant price, your own personal marshmallow cloud to block the view of the very thing you're there to see.

makes sense

Result = Bad Stupid

Just because you wear it with diamonds and MIGHT be related to someone in a royal family somewhere (legitimately, no clue who this is) does not mean you continue to wear a kite after a child has got it stuck in your hair

Result= Bad Stupid

Princess Beatrice! Who can forget this one? It has its own MEMES you guys, that's how much it influenced the collective subconscious. Personally i think the female reproductive system comparison is pretty bang on, it might be a Philip Treacy and therefore 'art' or whatever you want to pass it off as, but come on? I'd rather wear a dildo on my head

Result= BAD BAD Stupid

Giant cocktail stupid hat, don't mind if i do! good for getting shitfaced, bad for diluting cocktails if it starts to rain

Result= GOOD Stupid!

Now this one above is a personal favourite. Proof that fashion is sometimes so freaking dumb, i don't think even Lady Gaga would be caught in this, well 2 years ago maybe.

 This is proof that Barbie has invented a gigantor ray and is keeping it to herself. It hit one of her napkins instead and could be sold for a probably quite neat profit looking at the ostentatious jewellery and the sugar daddy in a top hat in front

Is this in case a dinosaur needs a tampon? I hate when fashionistas are all 'oh you just don't 'get' it' what is there to get? That someone has more money than brains? That's very gettable as evidenced by many things in the fashion world that takes itself way too seriously. 

Result= BAD BAD BAD Stupid

We're the Dandy Highwaymen

"I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention!"

Best song opening line ever (feel free to submit rebuttals)

Oh Adam Ant, let me count the ways i love you

Pirate fashions!

Kabuki make up!

Pantaloons!

"So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making"

(lyrics from Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants)

Who can forget the brilliant moment in Absolutely Fabulous where Patsy gets Eddie to do the Prince Charming dance and with such wondrous lyrics and brilliantly over the top (i suppose it could be classed 'workwear' for the Ants AND the dread Pirate Roberts?) costuming, who couldn't love you?

Pfeffernusse for president

My stomach wanted me to do a post on Pfeffernusse, the best biscuit on planet Earth!!! (aliens brining cookies, feel free for a drop in to prove me wrong, i know you guys are out there somewhere)

Even though they are available all year round, the local supermarket is being stupid and trying to dupe us into buying them because they are slightly 'christmassy' in amongst their anthropomorphised trees and glittery reindeer. Clearly if a reindeer is sparkly, do not hang it on a tree, befriend it and ride it to work instead.

So these biscuits are way better than mine

No one wants Lebkuchen with an attitude 

So yeah, i could eat a packet of these at a time, which im fairly certain no one bothering to read this sentence cares about, BUT, here is the caring part- do yourself a favour and buy a packet and eat them with someone you love

Today

Favourite Pink Floyd album, and my favourite song from it. The many wonderful words of Mr Tom Hodgkinson ( go to that link if you hold a certificate in idleness like i do!) (go to it anyway, because it is awesome)

sort out this black hole 

I am ending the war against naked animals! Observe Brooklyn and his stylish cat-hat

Read about one of the best parody hoaxes ever, here. Society for indecency to naked animals!

Remember, a nude horse is a rude horse
