Women… sheesh!

We always hear”the rules”  from the female side. Usually after said rules have been broken.
Well as we do, we’ve been emailed a list of men inspired rules that have passed from email account to email account, waiting for someone brave enough to publish.
No one has (well they probably have but we couldn’t find it on [...]

Health Warning

OK. As you could imagine like everyone we get lots and lots of ‘funnee’ emails flood through our inbox before coming to rest in our trash thingo. But sometimes… you come across one that you kinda think… yeah. This really does need to be shared with a health warning.
And today we have two… both kinda [...]

Caption Slugfest: Man in flippers with bus

I think it’s time we kicked off the Voodoologic Caption Slugfest competition again!
Our image for this round of the Slugfest is the priceless example to the left, which I have tentatively titled “Man in flippers with bus”.
As before, please submit your captions over in the Voodoologic Forum, rather than in the comments below.
Do your best, [...]

Where’s my perfect creativity application? It was supposed to be here by now.

It occurred to me just the other day that I’ve been working at being creative in a small way for more than 20 years now. In that time I’ve created hundreds of characters, thousands of story ideas, more thousands of conversational and situational snippets, and an impossibly large amount of interconnecting material that joins all [...]

The best that the worst has to offer

The Sun-Sentinel, South Florida’s most infotainious newspaper, is running a poll on the worst album cover of all time. Anyone who has been connected to the internet for more than 10 minutes has probably already seen most of these before, but if you consider yourself to be a connoisseur of truly awful album covers, you [...]

Press Release: “The Twacknostic Twacks Take Round 5, Other Teams Not As Good.”

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
When the full-time whistle blew, everyone agreed that they’d witnessed a game of footy that would go down in the history books [1]. Grizzled frontline forwards were battle-wearied, sure-footed wingers were numb with fatigue, and up in the nose-bleed seats in the stands noses were bleeding, but only because of a 3rd quarter [...]

Caption Slugfest: 4 Guys and 4-Wheel Drive

Okay, I think it’s time to kick off another Caption Slugfest!
As per the very simple process established in our first slugfest, add your caption [1] for the whacky photo above in the comments section. After a reasonable period of mourning the team at Voodoologic will use cutting edge technology along with whatever their horoscope says [...]

The cool bit in Dr Who

I really like my mobile ringtone, but I’m beginning to realise that it’s causing me problems.
It’s the theme song from the Dr Who series [1], and the problem is that there is a definite ‘cool bit’ in the song and there’s no point listening to the intro if you don’t wait for the cool bit [...]

Coping with a Prime Minister who keeps his promises

A problematic politician
Simon Webster over at the Sydney Morning Herald is exploring the tricky and frankly unusual situation of what to do about a powerful politician who appears hell bent on keeping his campaign promises now he’s actually in office and traditionally expected to be surprised anyone took him seriously.
From the article:
…talkback radio was ablaze [...]

Two monkeys, no waiting

“Mummy, I wanna take a photo with the two monkeys!”
“Keep walking, sweetie, I’m sure I saw the ugly one on CourtTV last night!”
At this point I’d like people to understand that the t-shirt I’m wearing [1] is the world famous rhino brand from Ecko Unlimited (emphasis added).
We now return you back to your regular broadcasting, [...]
