• Drunk graffiti artist all washed up... and The Joker's Wild Life: Heath Ledger

  [From the recently spit-shined, mahogany editor's desk: This morning, we figured we'd steer clear of commenting on the early demise of the talented Heath Ledger as revelling in the morbid is more the province of the folks over at The Darwin Awards. So, we figured we'd focus on a different Australian-themed story, a 'near death' one in this case.Hip hop is universal and responsible for much of the pop culture we do our best to shield our eyes from on a daily basis, ideally, with a ball cap pulled way down and a hoodie.It's given us, among other things: over-sized duds for fat and non-fat alike, athletic footwear thrown onto overhead wires to mark drug territory (a stern warning against crack dealers bold enough to ply their trade in penny loafers) and seizure inducing ditties. Purists often cite the four pillars that prop up the Temple of Hip Hop, which include DJing (of the type not done at your cousin's Bar Mitzvah when a drunk uncle yells out for 'Hotel California'), emceeing, breaki

  Well something, weird has happened well my mom has been divorced for about a year now so now she is dating again. It is somewhat hard to get used to that with us both being single and going out on weekends together. Well we go out together she gets mad at me because I get hit on all the time well sometimes I don’t want to get hit on but I do. Now the thing is she likes this guy but he has been hitting on me a lot but she is mad at me because he pays attention to me and not her it is so weird.However, the thing about this all I really do like this guy he has sparked my interest and my heart. Now it is like I finally meet this great guy but look what happens is that my mom likes him too so now I have to forget about him. In all my years of living I never thought this would happen. I guess I am so used to her being married so I never was in this situation before where we are both dating. So now, I don’t know what to do let this great guy go because of my mom or keep interested in him.

  IN addition to the other aspects of the deer population that we enjoy (weaponry onslaught in the fall with the resulting risk of outdoor excursions and rotting carcases left in the woods; and the season of the deer garden tour, ours is on the list) there is the fawning season. We must be in the very midst of it at the moment. And now, it is not the hunters to be wary of, but the deer themselves.Twice this past week, does have protected their fawns from predators. Our predator: Tsuga, the wonder dog. I don't think he'd actually hurt a new-born deer, but their mothers don't know that. And I'm not entirely sure myself.In the second episode of dog-fawn encounter, the mother deer threatened not only the dog, but Ann, who was walking on the back of the land with the pup. When the dog chased the fawn up the side of the hill and wouldn't come back, Ann feared for the dog's safety and rushed back to the house to fetch me (and the rifle) to help. The mother deer stalked her all the way bac
• The Wild Life, Episode 1: A Date with a Moose

  We've had a little visitor every evening for the past week. Okay, a big visitor. Seeing a moose in our neck of the woods is not so unusual, but the fact that this one keeps stopping by to hang out is sort of a trip. He/she (not sure if I really need to know how to sex a moose) seems to not be afraid of people, which made it much easier for me to get the nerve up to ask him/her out...Tags:* comedy * humor * funny * silly * moose * elk * Sweden * forest * BBQ * PETA * cat * eating * Grythyttan * nature * animals * marinade
