PHAT JOKES
I saw a comedy show the other night. I won’t name names but the comedian’s surname rhymed with Lickering. He told 10 minutes’ worth of Uranus jokes. I figure if 90s humour is funny again, I can rehash this joke, which, like Uranus gags, I found hilarious as a 12-year-old:
Q: Why did the plane crash?
A: Because the pilot was a sausage. And he was 12 and just heard the best ever Uranus joke, suffered a giggle-induced sausage seizure and plummeted to his death.

KINGS OF QUEENSBERRY
There are two circus elephants,
Dancing tightrope on the wall.
They think they’re kings of Queensberry,
Wrinkled rulers of them all.
The crowds line up outside their place,
Vying to see their tricks.
We haven’t the heart to tell them,
It’s the queue for Twenty & Six.
Twenty & Six, 594 Queensberry St, North Melbourne, 3051. Closed Wednesdays. Interior wall illustrations are as brilliant as the food and coffee.

I imagine the creation of a Kindle to be far less poetic, mesmermising and beautiful. And considerably more Chinese production line.
Racial Word SlurringI Googled Irish jokes to whet my whistle for St Pat’s Day shenanigans. I found this: ‘An Irishman is not drunk until he can’t move’. Ha. Not funny. Grossly stereotypical. Whoever wrote it clearly isn’t sympathetic to the fact that a leprechaun’s small stature means he can’t hold his liquor. And the author’s lack of compassion re the tragic ginger epidemic that’s driven the whole of Ireland to drink, frankly, disgusts me. Tee tee tar tar fiddle dee.

This week’s (perhaps slightly inappropriate) Michi Girl post here…

LS.TEA
I’m not about to tell you to eat more avocados. We’ve been through this. But I will advise you to drink more of them. That’s what I did at Storm in a Teacup; a Brazilian avocado, jasmine, lime and honey smoothie, coupled with avo on toast with chilli jam. Mind you, I spent the rest of that day in an avocadocoma tripping balls on fatty acid.
