What u know about the Odyssey?

 

What u know T.I.?

https://youtu.be/BjrF1-Qjt14?si=bb2qBeflNr1zXgOC



I don't know much about Homer's Odyssey I never read it. All I really know is it features Achilles and Troy not much at all. I also understand Alexander the Greek loved Achilles but I totally don't know much about any of it. Neither Christopher Nolan, don't know squat. 


However, the bus union gives me two free movie tickets every two years and whiffy is keen to see it so we might watch it tonight.


One review I saw on YouTube was gushing about this movie, said it was five stars. 


Moments later....

Ok T.I. possibly knows more about the Odyssey with Matt Damon because the cinema was BOOKED OUT! I haven't seen a movie on the big screen in a long time and didn't expect it to be booked out but it was booked out so couldn't watch it.


Still by the time the Chatswood hoyts folks had sent us on to the Mandarin cinema (there are two hoyts cinemas at Chatswood), we had already spent $20 on a pathetic box of popcorn and giant soda just serving to make me even fatter. Unnecessarily. Already quite fat towards the end of winter as zero lawnmowing actually happening.


In order to feel ok about paying that much for the stupid popcorn and soda I need to trick my mind I to thinking it was amazing popcorn and soda (it wasn't).....


Amazing....

Hey that popcorn wasn't great but Stan is really delivering. First Alan Colmes on MTV ghosted or whatever, now "All American", snooty black people (non Indian/Hindu) in Beverley Hills with football team high school high society plus a bunch of snooty lesbian women (Matt Damon would absolutely excel as an African American lesbian women in All American, but we're not ready for blackface yet as a society, maybe in 2126.


Man it's good bus driving today, I'm getting paid to watch All American and this morning it was Bondi beach to Bondi junction City to surf bus runs. Imagine you were Albert Einstein and you reincarnated as a non new shmuch in Liverpool, a kind of Crenshaw in Sydney, you'd shlepp all the way out to the Pacific coast for the city to surf with the folks from your office for sure. It's a Sydney tradition. That's pretty random but it gives you a sense of the tradition of the 9 mile fun run.

Jews for Jesus?

 


Here's an interesting short YouTube video:

https://youtube.com/shorts/iRd3DbdZoSI?si=9lPF0qnGbAgBfvoS


Hard to beat Pontius Pilates when he says, "what is truth?" sometimes isn't it? Because it's such a great question, like what the hell even is the truth?


I personally don't believe Jesus was Jewish same as Peter but both were gentiles. I think the lineage to David must be referring to Mary since Jesus' male chromosomes don't come from a man we know of per se as per the immaculate conception. The immaculate conception probably happened with other people on earth a number of times so I don't believe in 'only begotten sons of God'. I believe the Jews of the day were right to question that concept. I don't believe Mary was descended from David I think that's probably a fabrication. I also don't believe Jesus and Mary were actually ethnically Jewish. I don't believe they practiced Jewish religion apart from whatever could avoid them getting killed by Herod or whoever. Definitely Jesus studied the old testament but obviously he wasn't impressed with Jewry in general. I believe Britain recently had an ethnically Indian Prime Minister and the current opposition leader there is ethically African or something like that. I don't believe the latter two characters are ethnically Anglo Saxon or ethnically Cornish or Scottish just because they are prominent Britons. That's not hard to understand.


Nope?

Book of Matthew:

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Alan Jones trial, day 1 (of 120 or so)

 

Points to remember:


Shooter's ball lands on Jaw's foot, thus:

https://youtu.be/eX-YjciFn4E?si=TIQ0Eml0yKgCQMlS


Shooter requesting a drop from Doug however Doug says ball just be played from where it lies...

https://youtu.be/OOwpXT0J-yA?si=y8uwCfQGL82ADN4O


Jaws and Shooter have an acrimonious relationship, Shooter refers to the former disparagingly as 'Frankenstein'

https://youtu.be/AFzIjDtKgrw?si=y0aZZjBBQ7GcvlUD



Shooter insists to invoke the same rule that was invoked against him:

https://youtu.be/7ae0wfDCnnE?si=hxSO2k7q-nLMDpK4



And now, best of Jaws in classic Roger Moore 007 scenes, decades earlier....

Catching fox news at bus depot

 

Normally I'm driving bus once a week on Sundays but this week it's Saturdays.


Normally with fox news back in the 2010s it was always making jokes about Fox news, jokey jokester joke making like. But they have lifted up their game and government under Trump makes fox news look even better......


Jokey joke making anyone????

https://youtu.be/73fqXpx5vWg?si=N6ZPKRPlal04jbhQ


But there's still noone called Seamus at Fox News.... Just saying. 


Whiffy just turned 43 so we had a birthday lunch with her the five of us and two couples, friends of ours. It was pretty nice. On pittwater harbor at a swanky place. It's close by Mona Vale bus depot so j just drive along Pittwater harbor to my depot. I don't socialize much so I didn't realize nowadays instead of paying a flat rate fee to plate your own birthday cake everyone has to pay a fixed price per person. The two couples invited never knew each other and really seemed to get along great.
