  A good article from ABC Online: Election analyst Malcolm Mackerras has told Lateline the Greens will be in a very powerful position in the Senate after the election. “I believe that the result of this election in the Senate will… Read More ›

• Middle-aged hoydens invisible?

  By tigtog on 2007-11-07 • ( 8 )

  I have now set up a news-alert email thingy for the word “hoyden”, which is sadly not used as often by other blogs as it could be. So uncommon is it, indeed, that the author of this delightful rant felt… Read More ›

• Open “why can’t I comment on some of your old posts?” Thread

  By tigtog on 2007-11-07 • ( 23 )

  Because I have installed a hand-dandy “take that, flying spam-monkeys!” plug-in, which has automatically closed comments on older posts, but which allows certain posts that are older than the cut-off to stay open so long as they have ongoing discussions…. Read More ›

• From safari to shimmy: the Dora Princess makeover

  By lauredhel on 2007-11-05 • ( 36 )

  Hola! We love Dora in this house. She tromps through the jungle, solves puzzles, outwits trolls, evades bears, captains a pirate ship, creates maps, travels the world, rescues animals, discovers volcanoes, plays soccer, climbs mountains, and crosses crocodile-infested waters. Best… Read More ›

  By lauredhel on 2007-11-05 • ( 1 )

  A condom PSA from India. I’m torn between thinking “Now that’s how you do PSAs!”, and convulsing at the gleeful gyrating men and the clown-condoms. Enjoy. About this video: This is an entertaining and educational video in Telugu on Condom… Read More ›
