A quick web cache flush managed to make that pirate walk the plank.

Change of plan, open your eyes, otherwise you don’t be able to read this — Imagine a person having and ordinary conversation with you, it’s intriguing and you lean forward to express your interest, you start to nod your head with points you agree on while making a subtle yet sharp “mm” just to let your neighbor know you’re actually awake. Now the atmosphere is established.

All of a sudden, the speaker’s audibility diminishes as a lump of phlegm or some un-swallowed saliva gets lodged at the back of his/her throat (sorry guys, this speaker’s gender is a tad murky). You think at any moment they’re going to stop and clear their throat, but no! Like a train heading for a concentration camp, he/she does not stop speaking. Soon enough beads of sweat start to form on the end of your nose, as well as a replicated lump of phlem/saliva forms at the back of your mouth.

You start to take matters into your own hands. You start to at first slowly clear your throat by swallowing, but when you find that fails, you start to cough subtly, before breaking out in a raging coughing fit.

And that is the situation explained. In fact, I just experienced it recently while watching this video, and felt it must be documented in this secret diary of mine (which it is in it’s own right, as no one else reads these few pages). So speakers, clear your throat when your voice starts to disintegrate, and in-turn, maintain audience concentration.

Here’s a Christmas treat, and it’s not just a blog post. It’s a blog post with one amazing fact which will make your hairs in your ear go all funny’.

Cue the fact: Did you know, in Pokemon, TM and HM stand for ‘Technical Machine’ and ‘Hidden Machine’. I know - I know how you feel at this moment.

Fortunately, my super-toilet-resistance skills prevailed and I was able to keep the untimely wave of waste in. And so, I left the dentist in an epic hunt for a toilet.

Moments later, I find a toilet, awkwardly positioned, but a throne nonetheless (in my eyes at that moment in time). Took a quick inspection, only to find someone left their log in the bowl, previous to my session. Man was it perfect. Perfect shaped, and also had a commendable length. The colour, however, was slightly off, suggesting it had been left to brew in the water for some time.

Didn’t think much about it later that day. There was no toilet paper in the toilet! Which means either the person ate the toilet paper after wiping their butt-hole, or, they didn’t wipe their bum-bum altogether. Gruesome, I know.

A nice fresh change.

For example, I sold a broken graphics card for $72 a few years ago after seeing a similar broken item selling for $30. It was far beyond my expectations. More recently, I sold this power adapter for $50, again far above $30, what it truly should have been valued at… when new.

Every time I send these packages off, I get this gut feeling that they’re going to figure they got ripped off and give me an after-trade negative feedback. But is it my fault? Probably not, they have the choice. Likewise, petrol stations sell things with a tremendously higher mark-up than super markets do, yet they seem to still thrive with customers.

There’s a price for convenience, or is that just the price you pay for being lazy?
