Ok. This blog is from my friend, or mate, as they say, from Australia.  "Mate" over or under there means "buddy", so it's not a gay thing.  Anyway, he has no website of his own so, I'm posting his stuff here.  He is my partner in crime in collecting all available Trs-80 Color Computer software.  He will be updating regularly.  Enjoy!

***Disclaimer***  I give Briza free reign on what he says, so be warned.  Sometimes the language is Rated 'R' or above.

Finally after a few months lay off, I can do another "All Aussie" flavoured blog. And guess who I'm going to do one about? In the Cricketing world, this man is a Legend, But can't say that much for his off field antics.
His name is Shane Warne, aka the "Tweik of Shiek", or "Warney" to his former Australian Test cricketing team mates.

Didn't have the greatest test debut in test cricket. In 1992, took 1-150 versus India (is this good or bad? - ed), I think it could be less, but it's  been 15 years since I fucking saw his test debut and even then he showed he had a lot of potential doing Leg spin bowling. (leg spin bowling? -ed) Just think before he came along Leg spin was a dying art. But in the end after he finally pulled up stumps on his Test career. his career figures were 707 test scalps at a bowling average of 25.3. (This is totally greek to me -ed)
Now time for the juicy bits people. His off-field antics sure did make him popular. Any other sportsman would've been hung and quartered by the cricketing public. But not our beloved Warney. He would just weave his magic on the cricket pitch and all other things would be washed away.
This guy did it all, Phone sex scandles (I had 3 of those just today -ed) .If you ever see the film,check out the Ass of the girl in her G-string (Yummy),

 Affairs, being sponsored by the Anti Smoking organization, then being busted having a puff during a cricket match in New Zealand.
I can sure say 1 thing about him, he sure did have great taste in women. When you think about it, I'm fucking jealous as all fuck. This blond freak of nature with fingers that could make a cricket ball spin fast from around 1 metre outside of leg stump and take the bails of the offside stump, Now that is darn just assy.  I bet he used those fingers to make girls scream out loud.  "Warney Warney don't stop leave those fucking fingers in my snatch I'm about to fucking come, Oh shit Warney have you got your rain coat on, it's going to get mighty wet. Get ready open up and catch. You fucking Shiek of Tweik." (Man crush, anybody? -ed)
Warney you tight assed prick, How about sending some of those roots (Women) (over here, mate, a "root" is a skank -ed) my way.  Sure, would spice up the nights, and I'd even throw in a camera to film the show, But dude, make sure you send 4 girls over not 1, More Girls, more ideas for a rooting extravaganza. Nah only kidding Mate. My Better half would cut my crown jewels off and feed them to our pet cat, That black bastard would eat them too, I reckon.  The feral cunt that he is, size of a fucking medium size dog.

Before you say it was a fluke and once in a life time ball, think again, He kept on doing it after his famous Ball of the Century that took Mike Gattings wicket in the Ashes test series in England in the early 1990's. But this guy sure did have the most lethal Flipper bowl known to any spin bowling cricketer, plus other bags of tricks in his bowling arsenal.

But don't be fooled thinking he would be just like every other famous sportsman and snob off his fans, This guy would stop and sign autographs. He'd would even give tips on spin bowling to opposition team members who were aspiring spin bowlers. He never kept his tricks and experience to himself he would gladly help another spin bowler if they were having Form (playing skill) troubles.

But the 1 thing I think he fucked up big time on, was when he cheated on his wife Simone, I mean she is a down outright stunner (yah, but is she a bitch? -ed).  She had the looks and the figure to want in a wife. But he threw that away for 1 night stands when ever he toured overseas for test match cricket. But then you name me any other sportsman that didn't cheat on their spouses, seems to me these people just don't know it when they have it made with the people they marry (nice back pedal, man -ed).

But all up I wish the guy all the best in his retirement, I think his earn't his place in the Legends of Cricket world wide. So all the best Warney.

(What in the hell did he just talk about? - ed)

Another Blog for my Mate Buddha,

It sure was a sad day for all Australians.

 First we hear of the sudden Loss of Steve Irwin AKA Crocodile Hunter. Now if you were wondering what Australians were like, other than what you have seen in the movies, well you know now.  What Steve was like is what a majority of Aussies are like (except Brian wrestles wild CoCo's).
Then the Legend of Australian Motor sport was tragically killed in a car rally in Perth, Western Australia.  His name was Peter Brock, or 'Peter Perfect' to most Australians.

We love to take risks.  Anytime we venture out of our back doors, either going to the clothes line to hang up washing, or going for a nature bush walk or swim in our local rivers or oceans, we have to contend with spiders,snakes, sharks and crocodiles in the Bush, or even in the cities for that matter.
Or just a swim in the ocean or rivers can be dangerous, sooner or later you have to fight with a shark or dangerous Box Jellyfish, plus other nasties just waiting to bite your limbs off (sounds like my last marriage). Or even worse, skinny dipping with your Root for the Night, (root for the night???) Imagine your old fella swimming in the water, wouldn't it just look like a big fat juicy worm to a shark, Wham Bam thank you Mam!  The Bastard of a fish has taken your pride and joy away for good, Ouch!  Now that's gotta hurt.

Okay, Time I went back to the reason for this blog.  I know what I was doing, when the news update came thru about Steve's sudden death. I was on my PC, chatting to my fellow American friends.  It sure did bring a tear to my eye, The bloke was a typical down to earth Aussie. And he was a Nut Case (YOU THINK?) to boot,

He had a passion for Wildlife. Would you blame him? The World would be a better place, If illegal poaching, whaling, and any other form of animal genocide was outlawed by all nations. That way our children will love us even more, because we left the animals safe, instead of extinct.

I bet you any money, Steve's in Heaven right now, wondering what the fuck  the fuss is about.  He always said he was just a ordinary bloke, who had a awesome passion for wildlife conservation. Sorry Steve, but you were not a ordinary guy.  You were the champion of wildlife conservation. You made the most boring thing in wildlife a most enjoyable experience. That could be just feeding birds or harmless animals to feeding Crocs or any of the big cats. Or just watching crocs swimming in the water look exiting and scary at the same time.

So I send my Condolences to his Wife and Family and wish them well in their time of grief.

My next blog will be on the Legend of Australian Motor racing, Peter Brock AKA Peter Perfect.

Ok Guys and Gals, give me a break here. This is my “First Official Blog” on Buddha's Laugh a minute website (more like once a week or so:  Website Editor), So don't start Banging my chops about misspelling or any other crap.

Buddha, you wanted a freaking Aussie Down Under post, Well you got 1, As for the rest of the world, “Gidday! Hows it going?” (why do I crave Outback Steakhouse now?: WE, I Guess, like every freaking body else, wishing to win Power Ball and that shit and some more. Me, I want the win, So I can buy that new cool 2 door sport's coupe by Ford America, I'm sure it's a Mustang (Yes, it’s a Mustang.. Or Stang..for short). I just can't be 100% certain.

  My present car at the moment is a 1993 Holden Vp Commodore, But it is rebadged as a Toyota Lexcen Newport, Nice car I must say, plenty of grunt under the hood, stiff suspension, sort of a blood red color (Downunder, there's a perception, that red goes faster) , But I think Chick's dressed in red look way better, And sure do get your blood moving fast to your old fella.

  My interests are as follows, House Renovations, Fixing cars, Coco 1,2 and 3 computers, Learning Assembly Language and Basic programming, And collecting Coco Software.

My interests in Coco's started in 1986, when I got my first Coco 3 for a Xmas gift, When I first opened it up and saw what I got, I thought I'd been kicked in the Gonads(balls), I wanted a Damn freakin Commodore 64, As all my Mates had them and they had some wicked games(Ghosts & Goblins, Bomber Jack, and a couple others).

  But as I got more and more into the Coco 3, I grew to love the computer and it's limited software base, But it made it up, in that I could design graphics using the commands in the Super Extended Basic, no more of these silly peeks and pokes, Just use the easy to understand commands, Hscreen2, Hline, Hcircle, Etc

And now I'm delving into the Assembly side of it, It's more fun to use, then when I first got it.

Places I have lived in, Sydney, Wollongong, Queensland (just outside of Brisbane), And my current location Broken Hill (Yeap you guessed it, The Place where Road Warrior 2 was filmed, Mad Max 2, For Aussies).

Now this place has it, when it comes to famous Films being filmed here, A town like Alice, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and countless others. But of course Mad Max is the most famous in the bunch. Just a shame old Mel turned out to be such a prejudice prick, I think all that money as got stuck up his ass, Stick to the all kick ass action films,. And stay out of Politics, Dude.

There's not much to look at here, unless you like red soil as far as the eye can see, Average temperature in summer is 42-45 (107-113 IN REAL LIFE) for weeks at a time, Winter gets cold, but hardly any rain, So we live with water restrictions, But we do have plenty of Art Galleries.  Seems the artists love to paint the true Aussie Outback scene here, Especially the Mundi Mundi plains (This is where the train scene was filmed in Mad Max 2, This stretch of outback is just completely flat, for as far as the eye can see. If you were to go on foot and try and walk it, you'd think you'd be walking until the day you die, and never reach the end. I guess if you wanted to top yourself off (kill yourself?), this is the place to do it, Just head out to Silverton, leave all your belongings in the Car, And just keep walking, in the midday sun in summer.

And If your wondering how me and the Buddha Factor (Budda Factor???) met, MB, just happen to drop into the CoCo 3 Chatroom, we got talking. He said he was after more coco software, I just happen to have a very big collection, and sent him heaps, Now we are Mates, always have something to say to each other, Either it's about the way cool website, or it's coco software, and if we have managed to track down rare titles. Still think he has a awesome website, He sure does have some seriously wierd pics on this website, Lucky they are only his portraits and not ours, heh! (YET!!)

But what I have found out about Buddha is that he is one funny Dude (Only cost me $20 U.S. for him to say that.. That’s like One million Australian or something), Even when he got electrocuted, still he attempted to use his Numb hand, Straight from the Horses mouth this is, But He'll try and shoot this comment down, as I told him, close your eyes hold your old fella, Bang before you know it, you think a famous porn star is hammering away at your crown jewels. This still gives me chuckles everytime I think of it, I told him to buy a heap of Powerball tickets, seems his Luck was running Hot, could've won the big one.

Time for me to shut up and let the big boys do more posts, Until next time See ya later Mates.
