Nathan runs St Eutychus. He loves Jesus. His wife. His daughter. His son. His other daughter. His dog. Coffee. And the Internet. He is the pastor of City South Presbyterian Church, a church in Brisbane, a graduate of Queensland Theological College (M. Div) and the Queensland University of Technology (B. Journ). He spent a significant portion of his pre-ministry-as-a-full-time-job life working in Public Relations, and now loves promoting Jesus in Brisbane and online. He can't believe how great it is that people pay him to talk and think about Jesus. If you'd like to support his writing financially you can do that by giving to his church.

Bacon jam helps you eat, like, a pig

Pig + Blender = Bacon Jam. That’s the equation celebrated by this shirt.

A shirt that celebrates what is quite possibly the most awesome dining innovation since sliced bread.

When man first sliced bread he was left facing a conundrum – what to put on this slab of excellence that would enhance it. Bacon jam is the answer.

“…….we take a big bunch of really really good bacon, and render it down…add a bunch of spices..onions, etc..and let it simmer for about 6 hours…give it a quick puree, and blast chill it…and you have bacon jam.”

Tale of the tape

This film themed sticky tape is pretty cool. I can’t think of any reason that you’d want to buy it, unless you’re storyboarding animation projects for work…

It’s Pac time

My love for cereal is well documented. Cereal should be one of the five food groups… Beer, Bacon, Coffee, Chocolate and Cereal.

This, I believe, is the pinnacle of cereal theming – the Pacman breakfast cereal, featuring marshmallows.

From this site – dedicated to collecting details about the breakfast cereals of today for the cerealphiles of tomorrow…

Secretarial Fail

This may be too complex for Fail Blog to sum up – but it’s a pretty funny story.

A secretary working for Pepsi inadvertently almost cost them $1.6 Billion (depending on the outcome of an appeal). She received a legal notice from two guys who are suing Pepsi for stealing their idea to sell bottled water in 1981. It all seems a bit Alex Lloyd and the serviette to me… but at this stage they’re in the box seat.

This secretary was so busy that she forgot to give it to them. And they didn’t show up to the hearing. So the guys were awarded a default judgment.

It pays to check your mail properly.

The Axe Axe

This guitar was featured on the Monty Monty Art website – but there’s a much bigger collection of musical sculptures here – including this strumpet (also from Monty Monty). That’s what I’m calling it anyway…

Where there’s smokes

This cigarette shaped lighter is both cheap and fancy. If I smoked I’d definitely buy one…

What lurks beneath

Every toilet should have one of these vinyl stickers just to remind unwary guests of the dangers of careless toileting.

How zit

This is from possibly the most disturbing website I’ve ever come across. It’s a site dedicated to the art of popping zits. Because it is an art.

It’s quite disturbing.

What’s more disturbing is that there’s a confectionery product designed for people who pop their zits, and want to eat them too…

You can pick up some boogers too…

Literal music videos

If only the words of songs were better tied to what was going on in the film clips.

I’m sure you’ve often thought that too… well there are plenty of these on YouTube to satisfy your literal desires.

Worst disguise ever

Coming soon to a Fail Blog near you… two guys thought this disguise would help them get away with robbery.

From CNN.

“Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man’s home in Carroll, Iowa.

When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller’s description blocks away, they were stunned by the men’s disguises.

There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.”
