The Somewhat Ambitious

Ah, what a year it’s been. The Somewhat Ambitious did a blog (this one), Luke and I did a show on SYN, Nerds of a Feather got well underway, a comedy festival show was conceived by Luke, I started on late shows at Triple J, Luke kicked cancer in the balls and we all drank [...]

You know when you’re talking to someone and all of a sudden they’ll drop a comment about LOLcats and how funny they are and how they just got sent a LOLcat by the clown of the office, Justin, and now they’ve printed it out and put it on the wall of their cubicle and they [...]

P.S. Although this really does just bring to mind the somewhat ill-conceived 1990 British sitcom ‘Heil Honey I’m Home’, which featured the Fuhrer and Eva Braun living in 1950s ‘I Love Lucy’ style wedded bliss next to a [...]
