Oh, For a Muse of FireWaves of Brisbane humidity wreaked havoc upon the populous, so the populous surfed those waves to air-conditioned shores. The populous had many options: more affluent neighbours with wall-mounted-cool only-single-split systems, corner shops with ceiling-mounted-reverse-cycle-single-split systems, public institutions such as libraries, museums and art galleries with reverse-cycle-multi-split systems, and the most popular shelter from the slings and arrows of weather: shopping centres, with industrial-grade-reverse-cycle-ducted systems. The waves of humidity crashed on the automatic doors of one such shopping centre, as amateur surfers reached Oh, For a Muse of Fire

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.

The hypocrisy's the point--usually makes for the best satire.

Dodgy, ha. The animation = not great, agreed. I could probably do better things given a day to learn the appropriate programs... but I focus more on the humor.

If you find anything that combines pretty looks AND is kick ass funny, do let me know.

Nope, not at all related, other than they're both funny.

You can find Mr. Snaffleburger and some other happy stuff at The Other Side.

Let me know if you like ;p
