Risotto challenge fails miserably, makes world record

On noon, to a space of time two and/or a half hours later, freebodies and schoolchildren taken away from their desks, squatted and lay upon the short grass of First Fleet Park in Circular Quay, Sydney, to witness the mammoth feat of several named chefs cooking up a risotto storm in an above ground pool system. Stirred loose and fast with oar-sized paddles, the rice quickly turned risotto after the requisite maneuvres and ingredients were added.

International culinary author Gabriel Gate, along with other sorts of names the likes of Darren Simpson, Lyndey Milan and Simon Marnie, were on hand to cook their way, along with charity case CARE Australia into the Guiness World Record books. Presented on an opposing stage, Vanessa Amorosi performed a few songs followed by a host of folk type musicians. Stains on the grass were covered by the vomit induction of those who could not handle the taste of a gold dollar donation and those with a far fairer stomach than their beer swilling workmates would believe.

Crowned the second Australian Idol over Melbourne's Anthony Callea, Casey Donovan, like the rest of the viewing nation, endured the hours upon hours long procession of proclamation of Sunday night seemingly unaware of the bandit storm to follow.

Watching eager on the wings, the gay porn industry salivated as its spread creamed the young fertile minds of unsuspecting children in the Monday morning glory.

Flooding a tsunami of glamour shots and Halloween costumes, the rumour mills have latched onto the prospect that relative unknown Brandon James Routh has been cast into the freshly emptied shoes of Superman. Official word from the gullets of Warner Bros. themselves is yet to come though an announcement is expected later in the week.

Capitalising on the montage-fest surrounding Reeve's cardiac arrest into failure, the makers and shakers of the highly anticipated return of Clark Kent/Superman to the silver screen, tentatively entitled Superman Returns. have pounced around the grave of the solid state of Christopher Reeve who still awaits internment and even the burial plot to vacate itself of the soil, worms and roots currently holding residence.

Latham and Howard emerge after a night on the town with a white worm

Ethan Switch - Monday, 13 September, 2004 - 17:22:25 - print it raw

National security, strength of will, health and education of the masses. Topics and issues which reared their collective and finely grotesque heads and featured prominently in last night's Great Debate between stand under Prime Minister John Howard and the fist balling alternative, Mark Latham.

Showing the fine form seen at many buffets, the panel, moderated by two seater Laurie Oakes, failed to snap back and forth with witty repartee as the combatants drew their barbed tongues and sworded each other at length. Composure was markedly present as the interjection was kept to minimal lunges.

Hoisted in the stirrups, legs spread apart for examination and review, French film Anatomie de L'enfer (Anatomy of Hell) directed by Catherine Breillat was awarded the R18+ rating by the Office of Film and Literature. Many are their lot and another brand of self-anointed public conscience, this time being that of the Australian Family Association, was sent reeling on the news of another application for banning a film was dismissed with an R rating.

The AFA's shooting off from their supposedly current concern leads their main beef in the raw turkey's stuffing entrance of human cloning a little cloudy. Hot collared and moist in the seat of their pants, AFA represent their motives clearly in the gambling stakes of taking side bets here and there to submit applications to the OFLC review board.
