Hey All, today is the 6th of the 6th of the 6th... Hopefully there aren't too many satanic invocations where you are. I'm busy trying to scratch away this mark on my forehead... :-)

Today I got two emails about Nieces at my work email address... Weird.

Check this out, a poem by a six year old - my friend Barbara's niece Cameron (yes, Cameron, like that Diaz chick):

What are little girls made of
Slugs,nail polish,blush, boogers
Hair,pencils,birds,lipstick
Snakes,bumble bees and water
Penguins,stickers,eyes
Dollies,tongues,noses and boxes
That's what little girls are made of.

As Barbara points out, very Ern Malley.

I owe this blog numerous entries...

Tickle Me Evil Doom

I spent a pleasant part of last night tickling evildoom_bunny. She is very ticklish, so when she's being Bad - or in this case, tickling me - the best thing to do is... Tickle her back.

Her most ticklish spots are either side of her waist. I managed to catch her on my bed (full clothed, so keep your demented fantasies to yourself ;-) and tickled her ticklish bits - and her arms and legs were flailing about so much she was almost kicking things over! Funniest thing I've seen in ages, arms and legs everywhere, high pitched screeching... Hmmmm, perhaps we should both grow up. Naaaaaaaaaar.

Speaking of Evil Doom...

I took evildoom_bunny to Brunetti in Carlton the other day. This is a fabulous cake emporium of sugary delight! evildoom_bunny was so excited, it was like I was tickling her, and almost drooling on the floor. I think we settled on a current cheesecake tartlette, having resisted the urge to feed our faces with, say, Cappuccino Chocolate cake. Drool.

We're all Condemed to Eternal Damnation!

Bizarro. This is from a press release from the Greens today (which, as I mentioned, is 6/6/06!):

Greens meet sect

Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown had a one and a half hour meeting with three representatives of the Exclusive Brethren sect at Parliament House in Canberra.

The Melbourne men argued against Senator Brown's proposal for a Senate inquiry into the Exclusive Brethren's social and political activities. The motion will be debated on 14 June.

Exclusive Brethren have funded campaigns for conservatives, especially Prime Minister Howard, and against progressive parties including Labor, but especially the Greens, in Australia and overseas. Sect members ran a major anti-Greens campaign in this year's Tasmanian election.

Senator Brown cited distressing family break-ups by the sect with members excommunicated from spouses and children.

The elders warned Senator Brown of eternal damnation.

They refused to say if the Exclusive Brethren's leader, Elect Vessel Bruce Hales of Sydney, had authorised their visit.

I'm probably going straight to hell for this. Oh, for those who don't know, the Exclusive or Plymouth Brethern are a secretive Christian sect. One of their edicts forbids its members from even voting!
