Mum's always got her looking smart, but she's no princess. She's out the front with the older brother riding the bikes, joining in footy and basketball.
They're good parents. He leaves for work around 5:30 each morning and gets home about 3:30-4 but he's straight out the front kicking the footy or shooting hoops with the kids. Mum's out there often with them during the day too.
Last year the little girl was just getting off her training wheels. Mum set up a course on the road using mini traffic cones to make both kids learn to control the bike at slow speeds.
The boy is incredibly coordinated for a 7-8 year old. He's tiny but goes flying past on the 20" BMX standing with one foot on the seat, the other out behind him while leaning forward holding the handle bars. Loves his footy (Collingwood supporter) and confident little shit. Heard him yesterday having an argument with mum about he was going to be his teams best player this year and she was emphasising that it's best AND fairest.

This guy's review of the Wes Anderson film The French Dispatch
"This is the kind of crap that gives graphic designers a hard on. This is Cinema "MADE IN PRADA". It makes me want to puke. Wes Anderson is the Yankee version of Roy Andersson. The very definition of "wannabe" who mocks the Genius, the Artist, the Storyteller. Anderson is an entitled nerd with too much money who spends his days masturbating in the company of his dollhouse and miniatures. This "movie" is an abomination" |

I do not and will never understand the vitriol that Wes Anderson receives in some circles. The film is great, in my view – and even if the style isn't for everybody, I think one has to at the very least admire his craft.

| ^ I like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. But Moonrise Kingdom, The Budapest Hotel and, by the looks of it, The French Dispatch are too much for me. |

Reading a Q&A with a footy player today, who described a team mate as being "a good looking rooster"
It's funny how men in footy circles complement other mens' looks by calling them "good looking roosters" because they think it sounds less gay than saying "he's a good looking man"
It sounds so archaic and homophobic. |

They use the term "rooster" as it has other connotations.
Strut, confidence, active with the females.

I suspect you’re at least partially correct on why they say it, 26 – it’s hard to imagine many other terms being employed to compliment fellow straight male footballers’ looks, unless heavily coated in irony.

Comment on Big Footy
"You lefties always categorize people but have never figured out just because you don't support one government, it doesn't mean you support the other side."
