You know the saying: The pessimist looks at the glass and says, "It is half empty." The optimist looks at the glass and says, "It is half full." Then there is the one where the realist adds his comment.

so my new 'The Weekly Mash [and Peace!]' blog is still in its early days but it's been encouraging to see new people subscribing almost daily - as it is still quite new though not a lot of people are visiting each of these posts and there have been some amazing things there, so if you are someone who reads stuff on Irresistibly Fish [my main blog] all the time, then i encourage you to [...]
so i started a hashtag today which i think could go viral if you all played along... the hashtag is #waystomakeatrexsad which if you can't read it says, 'Ways to Make a T-Rex sad' and plays off the idea that a T-Rex has short arms and so might struggle with certain activities. tell your friends. add me as @brettfisha if you haven't yet and lets get depressing that beast. some examples so far would be: [...]

yes, yes, you know it - favourite cartoon strip blah blah blah Pearls before Swine... this one being incredible both for the humour but more importantly for the invention of the word "winnery" [join my PBS campaign - for years now i have been subtly trying to encourage Stephan Pastis, creator of Pearls Before Swine to add a new character - that of a yellow and white stuffed dolphin called No_bob [because he doesn't bob] [...]
i LOVE Parks and Rec - new favourite series and gobbled the whole thing up towards the end of last year by myself as it was the one show i started watching without Val [who had Downton Abbey, White Collar, Weeds, Grey's and so on by herself while i was busy doing other stuff] and it just got better and better. the two characters that annoyed me the most in the first season became the [...]
