I think the cashier at Sephora tried to make fun...
When she said, “Oh. You’re paying cash. I don’t see many people paying cash anymore.”
Opening the door to many possible snarky responses. I kept my mouth shut though.
And ultimately the joke was on her. When she struggled for over a minute to count $2.68 in change.

First World Problem
I wish there were a way to delete drunken texts, KiKs and private messages. Why are only the public messages deletable?
WatchMy first video, in which I discuss important matters of pronunciation.

Pie Eating Contest
Aussie pies are meat pies. They’re like a chicken pot pie except with beef. I had a southwest veggie pie, though, since I’m a vegetarian.
I was a little nervous. The record after 6 years was 28 seconds, and the winner of the first heat finished in 26 seconds. My strategy was four bites in five seconds each.
It worked! After about 15 seconds, I had swallowed 3 out of 4 bites. The TV...
Australia Day
Drinking Coopers Ale and enjoying an Aussie pie at a local Australia Day celebration. Coopers is the regional beer from my birthplace in Australia.

Me: (pouring some wine)
Daughter: Can I take that up to mama?

Daughter: (grinning) It's not going to be a rough week anymore!

My Name
The origin of my name is briefly explained in my Twitter bio, but here’s the full story.
I had a Twitter account and started following some interesting people who made silly and dirty jokes. After awhile, I thought to myself, “Hey that look’s like fun. I want to do that too.”
My wife often doesn’t share my sense of humor. Whenever I tell silly or dirty jokes, she...
I love the fact that my kids think it’s completely normal when I beatbox in the car or around the house.
I just wish they’d join in sometime.
