Sometime my Questions are looking to hook up with Answers. Sometimes I’m just looking for questions to perfect-match with my preset answers…. other times I am standing on a huge question mark wondering why I have Midnight’s mystery car keys. Jeeeeez it would be handy to have an opportunity to pose those questions that dog me and someone much smarter and more insightful than me could kinda answer them thereby saving me the aggravation of having to really think for myself. It’s Australia Day tomorrow and I am an Aussie toiling away in China. Is this too much to ask for?
Australia Day 2010 is well and truly over as this “Ask VoodooLogic Anything” column goes to press. Yes, sadly we have to wait another whole year for the opportunity to do very little at all to celebrate The Greatest Nation In The Universe™.
And what makes Australia so amazingly great? Well, the answer is pretty obvious — we invented just about everything, or at least just about everything that was worth inventing.
The VoodooLogic Research And Development Team has been hard at work over the last few months, slaving on a project so top secret that the entire team was pre-emptively prosecuted for breach of contract before being allowed to sign the non-disclosure agreement.
The end-product of all of this terrified dedicated labour is a new and completely ground-breaking service called, “Ask VoodooLogic Anything.” [1]
Yes, that’s right, people — for the first time in the history of anything, VoodooLogic is throwing open its doors on 80 combined years of confusion and incompetence, and there is now way we are going to allow our utter ignorance of almost everything to get in the way of providing the answers you least expect!
To celebrate this Profusion Of Confusion [2], we are going to kick off our inaugural segment with the following question, sent in by D. Saturday.
How was your weekend?
Gripping stuff, D. Saturday, but still a question we feel equal to answering.

We just don’t seem to have that many real action heroes anymore. Thank the Grods for the Strathman… well until he gets suckered into doing ‘tween films for Disney like The Rock. Anyone catch the ‘Tooth Fairy’ yet? No me neither.
Which is kinda of a pity because he was great as ‘The Mummy’ and I laughed so hard in his movie with ‘American Pie’ star Seann Michael Scott in ‘The Rundown”. IN Oz we saw this as “Welcome to the Jungle”… which IMDB says was the working title… huh? Anyhoo… If you still haven’t had your fill of Jason Strathman (I guess anything is possible) check out another clip of Jason touting the wonders of knackered salmon and Kit Kats at the MUSE.
Probably the most budget beauty contest to ever be televised and all the gals from the 1980’s hail from all across rural outback Queensland – classic!
Keep an eye out for the creepy guy with the moustache right at the stage, the sheer awkwardness as these girls seem to have with walking along a thin plank of wood in camel-toed swimmers and last but not least – the super creepy hand draped across her chair hostess reading the names out and finishing each name with a really odd smile. And the male host – what tha? Continue reading ‘Beauty Queens in Country Australia – Noice’
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 our google search… ok so we didn’t get past the first page but that’s SEO in action isn’t it?) so we kinda figured we’d give it a burl… plus it means that today the Saturday can tick a post submission that kinda amuses and entertains without any effort other than a copy and paste. Yay! So here they are….
A lot of people say to me “But it’s the principle” and then really really bad things tend to happen.
Whenever I am confronted with this I like to quote the late great Groucho Marx “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others”. A comic and philosophic genius… movies kinda sucked but still… Continue reading ‘It’s the Principle!’
By all reports the Midnight is currently doing it hard down in Oz with searing heat peaking at close to a hellish 40 degrees the past few weeks. Meanwhile The Saturday, moi, is toiling away in Hong Kong, enjoying early morning starts at less than 10 degrees, a wind chill factor off the harbour and people sneezing in my face and spitting at me.
The following video seems to be gaining a lot of traction on the intertubes at the moment, as it apparently demonstrates what it’s like for non-English speakers to listen to songs in English. Continue reading ‘La la la something something oh yeah’
