Pocket Money from Big Kev



So okay, Kevin Rudd is apparently giving a $950 tax bonus or whatever he's calling it, to low - middle income earners. This pretty much means anyone who works and earns under $100,000 - as is my understanding, which I'm sticking to for now.

It got me thinking. Not only do I feel the need to quash the uneasy about our country potentially being in a lot of economic trouble and wondering exactly how this process is going to work, If I am in fact eligible for said $950, not only would it be a dream come true and I could, you know, pay an entire month's rent with that money, or I could buy...


SOMETHING RIDICULOUS!

(It's an idea I have for a game show. Don't steal it. Basically the contestants get a fistful of cash and instead of paying off their credit cards, *cough* they go through a series of hilarious escapades to find their ridiculous item of the value of the money they are given. Winner is the person with the most ridiculous item, judged by Marcia Hines and (probably Dannii Minogue seeing as she's got nothing else to do) and the winner gets to keep not only their very own ridiculous item, but they get to keep the items from all the other contestants too. GENIUS.)

without further ado...

1) $950 Haircut! Omg!

I could offer you the exact same haircut for free with my hairdressing scissors I bought from woolies. WHAT A SAVING!

2) $950 Cocktail called the Ruby Red

The secret is there's a real ruby in it. what? Too bad if you swallow it I guess...


3) $950 DEPOSIT on a life-size C3PO from Star Wars figurine replica!

But I can't afford the $5950 price tag unfortunately. Plus I'm not a NERD...


But what I'll probably spend it on is:


*drumroll*

4) 95 boxes of goon @ $10 ea!


once you hit the goon sack, you'll never go back. I like sovereign point. I've only ever spent $10 on it and you get an EXTRA 10% on normal goon brands. OMG.


I'd better get this freakin' money.

Spotlight On: Aussie Rap/Skip Hop


(Shane Skillz - Aussie Rappa)

Whilst researching some gigs for work, as I often do, I came across a strong (cough) anti-drugs campaign. Slightly aggressive, and possibly the worst, most bogan rap I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. Warning, they mean business. No point in me telling you which song it is because it's their only one, and unfortunately it seems they haven't logged in for around two years.

Song Title:
Ballarat Boys aussie rap

Lyrics Snippet:
Smokin' Weed
Takin' Speed
You haven't got any money to have a feed

My workmate Andy however, countered my staunch effort to spread the word of the BaLlArAt BoYs (i think that's the super awesome way to write it, i'm so not down), with a brilliant pro-weed track called 'MOLE' by an 'artist' named Shane Skillz.

This guy sadly ain't fo realz, but Public Service Announcement. If you don't like the C-Word, well, let's just say there's enough of that to make my Grandmother have heart failure.

Song Title:
Mole

Lyrics Snippet:

Don't Listen to the words of your father
Smokin' f*ckin' bongs is guaranteed to make you smarter

& (i couldn't leave this out)

My Mum really f*ckin' hates the smell
So I spray a bit of Lynx so the scrag can't tell

I just think he sounds like trent from punchy.

Keep it real yo.

*Rarriedaway does not condone the use of drugs. Nor the bad rapping about them.
