Although, getting back to the subject at hand, if I pay cut price, I expect a very dodgy utilitarian label.

I’ll see if I can get through to Lawsie and discusss this tomorrow … Gloria sems to be too busy of late trying to stir up the next Cronulla riot.

Wonko, you’d have to ask why that big tin of pineapple pieces doesn’t have a very large “caution” disclaimer on it … perhaps it will be rectified in the new system …

Oh my giddy aunt. Samuel, keep posting these sorts of entries, the comments you end up with are fantastically funny!

I am so laughing my bottom off at these nutty nuts

I’m not that surprised to note that B&G went for a Helvetica font for the redesign. It seems to be the flavour of the month lately.

Not around these parts though — Sam sticks with the Studio 54, Boogie Nights style, classic, friendly script fonts and sometimes circus fonts. I like it. He could bring about a circus font revival in the main stream press, get everybody talking circus and then BAM, tonnes and tonnes of radioactive pineapple chunks into Lake Burley Griffin.

Speaking of cut price, my mum used to buy those horrible chalky Sunshine brand biscuits when we were kids. They cost 79c a packet back then, but even at that ridiculous price we were only allowed a limit of one per day.

One day I copied her handwriting on her shopping list, writing ‘chocolate’ in old fashioned nana writing and she actually bought some.

That was the highest achievement of my life. It was all downhill from there.

I have to add, regrettably, that Egyptian Crocodiles are also snapping at my feet.

Damn code monkeys. I just had a nasty accident. I accidently stapled a 2CC poster to my forehead. I usually have embarassing sticky tape moments but this has put me in a bind. I am dictating this post as my other index finger is stuck in a Kilkenny can because i was trying to retrieve the widget. I needed the nitrogen for my billy cart.

Oh the humanity!

I have put in a call to Premier Beattie. He is placing an armed guard around the Big Pineapple as we speak.

Colour co-ordinated foil helmets are the only way protect oneself. Even though Wilde said that ‘fashion is a fickle mistress’ and ‘fashion is so bad it must be changed every six months’ I think it is necessary in this case.

Of course my tin foil will be Black and Yellow – preferably with the new branding!

Chuck, I’m more concerned with his ability to split the pinapple pieces …

Well I have had to go and put on my sword and magic helmet Samuel. I must protect myself.

Reading through those comments…I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in quite a while.

I will not comment on Alan Jones. I do not widh to get into by hot water.

I could see Samuel in a tutti frutti hat and a ruffled skirt heetseeker.

I think Samuel may have the scientific know how when it comes to splitting the atom Wonko. Shopping baskets as streetlights aside, I would not drink from the water of Lake Burly Griffin. God knows what diabolical scheme will be unleashed on the masses.

I can only hope and pray that more clues are left in Dlognwot.

Do Hans and the Parrot have history?

I’m sure Hans could probe Alan Jones while he’s at it!

I’ve also noticed an increasing amount of yellow and black coloured squares appearing in Sam’s artwork heatseeker. Could this be a subliminal hint towards other black and yellow symbolism, such as the radioactive waste signs? Does SGS have nuclear capability?

Should we send for Hans Blix?
