World Expo 88 – A Trip Down Memory Lane

By The Voice Of Reason | Published: August 19, 2009

In 1988 Australia turned 200 years old.  I was in grade four and we were the smartest fucking kids in the world because we knew what the word bicentennial meant.  We did the only thing this country could, have a world exposition.  What is a world exposition?  It’s where countries from all over the world [...]

Australia’s First Costco Opens Up to Shit Storm of Free Publicity

By The Voice Of Reason | Published: August 17, 2009

Costco has opened up their first store in Australia today in the desolate wasteland known as Docklands.  Docklands, home of exciting, career driven people; concrete towers, corporate sculptures, empty restaurants and a big shitty cracked wheel. What is Costco?  It’s a revolution in shopping!  You get super size trolleys and you get to buy all [...]

My Time in the Swat Valley Amongst the Taliban

By The Voice Of Reason | Published: August 15, 2009

Sun wrinkled Taliban fighters greet each other in an isolated township 25km’s from Saidu Sharif in the Swat Valley Pakistan.  The traditional greeting for two males is a gentle `reach around’ followed by a slap on the back.  They lay their AK47’s at the doorway to their shitty cave and go in for a cup [...]

Consumerism and the One Hundred Item Challenge

By The Voice Of Reason | Published: August 12, 2009

Reading Noodle Gumble’s post about all the cool stuff he wants and then him subsequently showing me a pair of retro glasses (wearing ones, not drinking ones) he wants to add to the list for another $400 odd dollars, I started thinking about all the cool things available to buy, the desire to have these [...]

Noodle Gumble’s Weekly Tunage…

By Noodle Gumble | Published: August 9, 2009

Almost let this week get away without some music, though if Sunday is the art of your week I’m up shit creek… Anyway, just a mini tunage post as a result of a rather crummy week I had past so excuse that. Hmm… Maybe take it as a post that focuses on quality and not [...]
