Moths, war and rapist wombats

March 28th 2008 07:55
Well Easter has come and gone but remember the chocolate lives on...on the hips, the thighs, the Homer Simpson jelly belly...Who cares, it tastes so good?

I have been invaded by pantry moths. You kill the little suckers and their offspring and like The Terminator they just keep coming back! I am currently in the process of tearing my kitchen apart to get into every nook and cranny so that I can exterminate them. I have even had to take out the shelves because they have even laid their eggs in the cracks in between and the little holes that the shelf pegs go into. I am now living in what looks like a demolition zone. But with determination, and a shitload of white vinegar and borax, I will defeat them! Sorry, just thought I'd share a little of my exciting life with you all.

So what's happening in the world? The civil war in Sri Lanka is still raging with more than 70,000 people dead so far. Not that you would hear much about it, there is no oil to be had, no diamonds hence no profit. The genocide in Darfur still goes unchecked with more than 2.5 million people displaced from their homes risking starvation, rape and disease. BUT it is far more newsworthy for a well respected Australian newspaper to publish a story with the headline ‘NZ man sentenced after claiming to be raped by a wombat’. The story goes on to report that the man made a number of calls to the emergency number in New Zealand first crying rape, then that he would retract the complaint as the wombat had ‘pulled out’ followed by the claim that he was now speaking Australian but was alright because it didn't really hurt his bum. He then admitted in court that he had an alcohol problem and the complaint was fictitious. Well crikey mate, I’m glad they cleared up. I would have had nightmares of roaming gangs of hairy nosed marsupials with tattoos and bandannas hanging around wildlife parks looking for victims.

We can all sleep easier now. Well I know I will.

haha i heard about this wombat rape incident and just shrugged my head . . . like as stupid as that guy is, does it deserve police intervention? and is it newsworthy?

i couldnt even get police to take down a report when a negligent driver smashed into my car, writing it off and permanently damaging my back . . . i couldnt get police to take a report when a neighbour was drunkenly beating on my door threating to kill me, or when a corey-delaney-esque mob of teenagers smashed our windows . . . but a rapist wombat, well id definately put my donut down for!

Those f&*king pantry moths are the bane of my life as well. Little buggers are impossible to kill..

Morgan I know what you mean, the cops did nothing when I had a stalker who broke into my apartment because he didn't steal anything! Now obviously had he left a wombat there...

Hi Harry!

The battle still rages but I think I'm winning the war I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the comment
