Mildly amusing me today is (once again) Rugby League.

There was a Big Game last night. There were fisticuffs involved.

Blues skipper Paul Gallen says he punched Queensland's Nate Myles in the head as a mark of respect.

Full story, with video of the "vigorous discussion" at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-0...cident/4736284

That's at least three punches to the face. Penalty? One week's suspension - for the swinging arm in the tackle, not what happened afterwards.

More fun quotes:

"It's a compliment to him (Myles). He's a tough player and someone had to stand up to him."

Blues coach Laurie Daley backed up Gallen, praising the front rower for what he felt will become a defining piece of Origin history.

"That was a great Origin moment as far as I was concerned," he said.

Maroons coach Mal Meninga agreed with Daley, choosing not to read too much into the incident.

"It's Origin," he said. "We're comfortable with what happened."

Yeah, didn't go to my twentieth for same reason. Didn't make my thirtieth because my husband couldn't make it. Really wanted to show him off too....like, "Look at me...I'm normal now" lol

LOLs, more mild amusement from Rugby League.

State of Origin, game two, round two.

The governing body announced a crack-down on fighting. I'm not sure any told the players (or, at least, told them using enough crayons and finger puppets that they understood ).

This time four players were given ten minutes in the sin bin for fighting. Both coaches agree this is "ridiculous" or "silly".

Game three in a few weeks.

It's a cold rainy winters day. I look out my window to see the oval across the road, where about 40 otherwise sensible adults are running around a muddy field chasing an oddly shaped ball. In pouring rain. And wind.

They look happy. Silly sods.

Yeah I've got this guy whose back yard lines up with mine. He says he's a philanthropist/art collector/ whatever, but he's too busy to mow his grass. Last year he bought a rider mower which is great only that he cut the grass twice the whole year, driving the thing at 45 mpr-had it up on the back wheels one time. Now he's got these grape vines all over, I mean it's like a horror movie-they're into everything, including my black walnut tree. He's never home, probably out scouting the next crystal ashtray, so anyways I'm out there with anything I can to pull that vine off my trees. Now who's the nut?

Our vine colonised both our neighbours' gardens.
Mum was paranoid about us being nuisance neighbours despite the fact we're always home and keep our own garden well tended. So she tried to track down the offending parts of the climber and snipped them off at source.

What this meant was said neighbours had dead vines in their trees/ bushes.
I had to laugh at her consternation. Best laid plans and all that.
I don't think either of the neighbours noticed.

Mildly amusing:
Big, voluble man in front of me in local shop, on phone.
"Nah, don't worry about a barbeque. Fry up some sausages, stick them in a roll and just put some shit on them."
I didn't follow him home for lunch.
