Random funny

Aibohphobia:
The irrational fear of palindromes (words that read the same forwards and backwards).

Dude 1: Hey, what's your name?
Dude 2: Bob.
Dude 1: AAAAAAAAAAH! *Runs and hides behind sofa*
Bob: Wow.
Dude 1: AAAAAAAAAAH! *Runs away and falls down stairs*

Found this when I googled the palindrome: A man a plan a canal - Panama!

Yellow bus found

Berni and Dave finally made it over to Perth last weekend, looking very happy and full of stories, so we had a big catch-up session on Saturday night and drank too much beer. It was heaps of fun, and lovely to see my bestest buddy again!

The bus has changed a bit since I last saw it, and is now very comfortably set up with bedroom, kitchen and even a library (well, a bookshelf) - all they had to do was park it across the street and that was home for the weekend! They couldn't even be persuaded to sleep inside the house, in spite of the 4 degree night and our new bathroom with four whole walls and a door (although we still don't have ceilings).


I took them around Fremantle the next day and we must have visited every single bookshop there while Dave got hungrier and hungrier for something greasy and hangover-worthy. We ended up getting sushi which didn't exactly fit the bill but was delicious anyway, especially the 'abocado' roll.

After a few more bookshops we stopped at the supermarket on the way home and Dave finally got his grease fix in a kilo of bacon. Yum. Uh-oh, there goes my reputation as a vegetarian.

The big yellow bus has headed south to Busselton for a bit but I'm looking forward to seeing it again soon. For more bus tales, check out their blog.
