This morning at the service station, a combination of sleep deprivation, silght derangement and desperate need for stimulants conspired against me when I saw this sign hanging in the window:

"Coffee. You know you want one."

The sign showed a steaming take-away cup filled with caffeine-laden goodness.

Yeah? Yeah I guess I do want one. Mmmm. Enticing. Hang on, I don't even drink coffee...

Caffeine devil sitting on my shoulder says:

You know you want one...

I haven't had a coffee for over a year. I don't feel the need for it. I'm over it, I'm totally um....

(walks zombie-like into service station. Presses "cappuccino" button, frothy goodness filling my cup and runnething over)

Drinks coffee in 2 minutes flat. Eyes wide awake, and I'm WIRED!!!!

Now I know why Dave says:

FRESH POTS!!!!

Language warning: If you are offended by the f-word used in jest with regards to coffee, don't watch this video!!

An unusual development in the "no coverage for Karrie Webb on free-to-air digital tv" saga (see my Karrie, Women and Sport post). Days after the 2010 ANZ Ladies Masters Karrie's win suddenly hit the news.

This could have occurred for a number of reasons:

1. The networks forgot about the tournament, then suddenly remembered days later.
2. The Pro Shop's coverage (One HD) sparked a resurgence of interest in womens' golf.
3. Karrie has been recently been "controversially" discussed as Australia's greatest sporting export.

Wins and Awards - Centenary medal, Golfing Hall of fame (the youngest inductee at age 30), Order of Australia - 49 professional wins. (36 LPGA tournaments including 2 U.S. Women's Open and 3 British Open wins, 8 or 11 ALPG tournaments, depending on the reporting, Japan LPGA 2)

4. A representative from digital free-to-air TV read my post. (Unlikely, but possible).

Whatever the reason, it's great to see Karrie in the news again, and tomorrow (money day) we will find out if she add another win to the tally by triumphing at the Handa Australian Women's Open on Sunday.

Wikipedia's definition about t-shirts describes a buttonless, collarless shirt in which to cover a person's torso. I define it as essential clothing. Without t-shirts, honestly I wouldn't have anything to wear!!

Remember the movie "The Hangover"? Well, the Hangover tshirts are now available. The guys wake up in Vegas with a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet. Just a typical day, really.

The baby is dubbed Carlos because nobody knows its name. And because he looks like a Carlos. His real name is actually Tyler.

Memorable quotes from the film:

Stu Price: We're in a stolen cop car with what is sure to be a missing child in the back. What part of this is cool?
Alan Garner: I think the cop car part's pretty cool.
(quote IMDB)

So, you too can wear the t-shirt with baby Carlos. Possible accessories include a hangover, a tiger, stolen vehicles and amnesia. Only kidding!! Wear with caution.





















Other funny t-shirts include the obligatory Lolcats shirt:





















And this rather sinister Pac Man t-shirt:

















Run Blinky!!

Interesting bit of trivia: Did you know that in the original version of Pac Man, Blinky's actual name was "Shadow".
