Second Thoughts

Looks like I may have to do a bit of opinion revising - I hate it when that happens.

First of all, it may be that I spoke too soon about the obviousness of Ronnie the Fruitloop's mental instability. Now we see allegations that his loopyness may be put on. I have to admit, I had begun to wonder a little, as the defence team methodically ticked off every box on the Are You a Nutter? checklist, and now we hear the claim that his hair wasn't even like that before the trial. I guess there'd have to be a good reason why a person would inflict upon themselves a haircut that makes them look like Concord Condor from the Tiny Toons -- beating an assault/murder rap is a likely candidate.

And, in a serious case of "did I just read that?" we see in our mate Garth's latest column:

There are a lot of people, I gather, for whom a car is a status symbol and perhaps having a clutch and gear handle is part of the status; or does fondling the gear handle perhaps have some erotic symbolism for both men and women alike?

Did he just compare driving stick to, well, "driving stick"? Dirty old bastard -- I'm starting to like him.

But enough of the media -- Resident Evil: Apocalypse is out on DVD; I'm off to get me some zombie hookers.
