Spare Room Be our guest…

Weekend hooning goes to the extreme in this footage of kiwi DIYers who mounted a gas turbine jet engine in a wee Honda Z600.

Nip/Tuck’s humour is lost on me. I find the show dark and the characters unpleasant. You could argue it’s a social satire, but I reckon the show quickly became what it was satirising.

Strange Products: Stroke On A Rope is what you think it might be, but are afraid to believe.

“This was a birthday gift from a controlling, frugal, petty-thief of a husband one month after I filed for divorce. The previous year, he got me absolutely NOTHING for my birthday, so he hoped that by finally spending money on me, I might change my mind about divorcing him. Yeah, right! (One of the zillion reasons why I divorced him: he used to save the children’s dirty bath water to re-use in the washing machine for his laundry.)
