The World Is Ending!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

It is official I have seen the sign of impending doom and know for a fact that the world is ending.

There was NO traffic on Sydney Rd. A road notorious for its terrible traffic was for a space of time free of vehicles and pedestrians to the point where I could actually do the speed limit instead of crawling along at 20km/hour.

Sydney Rd logically named because it travels from Melbourne to Sydney and there is no point in calling it Melbourne Rd when it is already in Melbourne now is there.

Anyways I am 100% positive that the world will be ending shortly. Have you noticed any signs of impeding doom of late to confirm my suspicions?

See it really is the beginning of the end - my link does not work.

Sorry Leechy, that wouldn’t be a sign of impending doom as much as a sign that our privatised public transport companies have slashed the tram timetables for summer*

However, I do think the fact that the private transport companies were given the go ahead to slash timetables for summer and raise fares is a sure sign of impending doom.

*Sydney Road is a shopping road so cars park along it, trams take up the middle leaving little space for cars hence the major traffic chaos.

Would the large sheep toy / puppet in a hawaiian shirt in our boardroom consitute a sign of impending doom?

5

Thinking of your board (who I imagine are the walk shorts and knee high socks brigade) I would think it means certain doom for the sheep.

6

Well the sheep wasn’t there yesterday and it had just appeared out of the blue when I arrived at work this morning. I wonder if that is why my boss told me I could finish early yesterday.

Poor sheepie, I shall call you “Bob”.

7

The board may be happier if you named her Ethel. Don’t dare accuse them of fiddling funnily with a ram for pete’s sake! She is a she sheep.

8

I’m not sure what sheepie is I just checked and all I can find is a large hole in her tummy through which my hand can reach his mouth.

Besides even he is a she is he or a she why can she or he be called Bob -lets not get poor sheepie confused here.

9

Do you have an autoclave there? I wouldn’t be putting my hand into any stray sheep I found discarded in my boardroom!

10

Large hole in the tummy that reaches the mouth…
does it have bushy eyebrows?

If so, you’ve now become the puppet master of Jon Howard!!

Sydney road with no traffic!?? I used to drive along there everyday for a year and never had that happen…ooooowww scary. What next, Hook turns??

11

Why yes sheepie Bob does have bushy eyebrows. Leechy in control of the leader of the nation, a certain sign of impeding doom.

Now to go disinfect my hand.

12

you may need to amputate, if it is our esteemed leader you know that dubya has been the one deep inside.

13

Oh dearie me.

Maybe if I soaked it in the contents of the beer fridge?

14

Aw yuk Thylacine
better do as he said Leechy, that could be dubya’s leavings, also known as “the monkey’s seed” (band name?).
As for the world ending…the phone hasn’t rung once so far today. Aw me god, it’s true!!

15

my cat hasn’t got out of bed yet to tell me off for whatever he can think of.

I’m convinced, between dressed up boardroom sheep, traffic calm and ringless phones it is clearly the very end.

In a way I am sort of pleased, after all, Bobethel the sheep will never be toyed with again

16

Well, now that you mention it, the following was posted on the NOAA website earlier today, although now they’ve taken it down.

Does that count?

17

See I knew it the world is ending.

All those people who thought that a change from 1999 to 2000 was a sign of the end were just plain loopy.

18

Well it was kind of the end for me. No more bumming around at uni looking for the nex cheap thrill, time to get a real job.

19

Real jobs are death unto the creative soul, they are mind sucking pits of oblivion and dullness unto which the SDMB is a ray of pure shining light.

unless of course you have a board fond of sheep
