Hancock film review 2008-07-08 08:34:54 How could a film that starts so well (i.e. with an alcoholic bum grabbing a woman on the arse) degenerate into such schmaltz? Then again, since “degenerate” is a good word in the Bad Living lexicon, perhaps we should rephrase that.
The alcoholic bum is the titular hero, Hancock
, a superhero on the down and out. [...] Read more:review
BadNews roundup 2008-07-08 02:30:28 Ladies, if you’ve been spending too much time in your waders, you might want to look after your “pelvic fitness“.
ACDC’s “Highway to Hell” is the most popular song at Aussie funerals.
Massimo Lazzaretti gets personal, shooting up his neighbour’s undies.
Defamer reports on what it believes to be the first ever gay personal lubricant ad on US [...]
A thing about waders 2008-07-07 00:21:50 The film Cat People, featuring Natassja Kinski fishing for prawns, had a formative influence on me. I’d forgotten, or maybe supressed this until a few years ago, when I stumbled upon womeninwaders.com, TM etc.
Now, Dan and I have done a bit of fly fishing in our times, and we can, from experience, confirm that you’ll [...]
Preggy pact rocks high school 2008-07-05 19:07:23 One homeless guy must be thinking his ship finally came in. He has been servicing at least some of the girls from Gloucester High in their bids to get pregnant as part of a pregnancy pact.
“All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to [...]
A Walrus of ill repute 2008-07-05 06:54:20 We’ve linked previously to the tragic story of the death of Ayveq, the New York Aquarium’s Walrus
, but felt 14 years of chronic masturbation can’t be passed over so blithely.
This report says he was famous for “blowing kisses” at visitors, but we all know that’s the polite version of the Ayveq story:
“Though well-liked long before [...]
Holy hooker, Batman! 2008-07-03 21:02:46 What do you call a man who drinks too much, likes the company of a hooker and dresses in rubber? Other than a Bad Living kind of guy, this also describes Batman
, the dark and dirty knight, as this article shows.
As a Bad Living bonus, however, you can also see a clip of Batman getting [...]
Don’t let your masty get nasty 2008-06-30 06:03:08 Being the generous media gurus that we are, Bad Living is giving free marketing advice to all those internet security companies such as Trend Micro, Norton and McAfee: try the honest approach.
For example, there’s an ad for Trend Micro that says, “How on earth did a Russian criminal get my password?”
Well, probably because some nasty [...]
Would you like maggots with that? 2008-06-29 03:24:15 Casu marzu, or rotten cheese is an Italian delicacy. And it is usually served - on the sly because it’s mostly illegal - jumping with maggots.
According to Wikipedia “Derived from Pecorino Sardo, casu marzu goes beyond typical fermentation to a stage most would consider decomposition, brought about by the digestive action of the larvae of [...]
No title 2008-06-28 21:45:50 Bad Living correspondent (who likes to call himself Flash) to a teetotaller at a party: “I’ve always found drinking to be spiritual.”
Teetotaller, in a serious, patronising tone: “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”
A little harsh …
BadNews roundup 2008-06-28 20:54:19 Draconian and … creepy. That’s how The Guardian’s Marina Hyde describes the blossoming of the UK’s surveillance society. Especially after finding the invisible ones behind the cameras are using them to monitor … women’s bums!
“Just who are these people, these swelling legions of unelected, ill-qualified monitors who wield such extraordinary power in our s
Flatulent whales 2008-07-28 04:33:38 I came across this picture of a whale taking a dump and farting today. It actually dates back to 2003 if you follow the links. Personally I don’t get it. Of course whales
fart. Why wouldn’t they?
Okay, it looks like a hell of a fart, but here’s a sperm whale squeezing one out on video:

Be still, beating heart 2008-07-26 15:58:07 Andrew Zimmern travels the world eating all manner of weird stuff. Now I’ve done the snails and some (very expensive) stuff in Japan I’d rather forget. I’ve seen roasted sparrows on a skewer in a Japanese market, but didn’t try them.
Zimmern ain’t nearly as wimpy. Beating Frog’s heart, anyone?

Only to be encouraged 2008-07-25 19:38:00 Despite our penchant for heavy drinking, us Badlivers take health and fitness seriously. So when we discovered the latest fitness trend in Beijing, we could only applaud and hope this is but the start of a global movement.
“I used to take a normal aerobics class, but it was boring and monotonous,” Ms. Xiao said. “So [...]
Steal this blog post 2008-07-22 06:59:01 In between doing shots of industrial grade spirits and wrestling with our cats, the Bad Living team like to become intellectual and muse on historical movements that have shaped our lives - and one is the yippies. Founded in the US in the late 60s as a countercultural revolution with a sense of humour (one [...] Read more:Steal
No title 2008-07-20 02:19:12 "I don't want my hair to fall out,
I don't wanna be filled with doubt,
I don't wanna be a good boy scout,
I don't wanna have to learn to count,
I don't wanna have the biggest amount,
I don't wanna grow up."
Tom Waits stanza of the week, from his song "I don’t wanna grow up”.
Youth touched by the Pope downunder 2008-07-15 05:17:22 Laws put in place for World Youth Day making it illegal to annoy Catholics have been ruled unconstitutional in Australia. So get into it! Get out there and annoy them! It’s your constitutional right and if you don’t exercise your rights, what happens? That’s right, you don’t have any fun.
“Under the laws, protesters could be [...]
Bullies beware: a new vigilante is in town 2008-07-15 01:31:25 I’ve decided to paint my Mitsubishi Magna black, call it the Danmobile, load it up with basketballs and exact vengeance in the dead of night.
Allow me to explain.
I was walking home a few days back when a gang of local kids surrounded me and, with a well-aimed throw, lobbed a basketball at the back of [...]
Chocolate salty balls 2008-07-12 23:31:04 It’s been quite a week for testicles. First there was the mascot of Pamplona, Mr Testis, swinging his stuff.
Then the folks over at BoingBoing delivered this testicle tale about “Balla Powder” for men ($15 on Amazon):
“Balla Powder for Men is the ideal anti-chafing and anti-wetness solution for clammy sacks. Guaranteed to prevent the dreaded ‘bat [...] Read more:Chocolate
Tramp stamp redux 2008-08-09 03:47:59 Well, Dan got into the horny issue of ass tattoos (aka tramp stamps, California licence plates, sluttoos and more). As part of out ongoing drive to bring the low life to life, here’s our tramp stamp gallery.
But first, introduce your kids to the concept (gently), take the celebrity tramp stamp quiz, and it doesn’t mean [...]
The new babe scale: gold, silver and bronze 2008-08-08 23:11:12 Well, the Olympics are finally under way and hardbody-spotting is breaking out all over.
Sky Sports brings us this gallery, but we think there’s a bit too much, well, sport about it. Wannahaves does much better with its Dutch Olympic hockey babes gallery. If you like your Olympic babes american as apple pie, here are 10 [...]
The Bad Living guide to being environmentally friendly 2008-08-06 21:31:15 We all want to save the world, right? Well … ah … actually, this Bad Living
writer just wants to get laid. However, in a rare moment of contemplation and with the knowledge that our polar ice caps are melting faster than a machine-made margarita slushy, here’s our guide to becoming more sustainable and ethical: [...]
BadNews Roundup (Yeehaw!) 2008-08-02 18:15:00 Hollywood, in its desperation, explores the bottom of the bottom of the barrel with “Tropic Thunder”, according to the New York Times in an article titled “New film test’s crudity’s limits”. While we’re not sure we’re ready for yet another Ben Stiller vehicle, we pray it’s not just hype.

Trolls vs Space Monkeys 2008-08-01 16:43:31 The New York Times does a deep dive into the world of internet trolls in an article by Mattathias Schwartz. It’s a great read and as I got deeper into it I couldn’t help think of Fight Club and the SpaceMonkeys
.
Schwartz talks with several leading trolls, people who disrupt online communities and play psychological [...] Read more:Trolls
Pints, bints and chest hair galore 2008-09-15 10:29:34 We knew this was coming. Ever since Anchorman hit the screens a few years back with Will Ferrell and his fellow frat packers sporting hairy chests, medallions, cologne and drinking scotch in front of fireplaces, we knew metrosexuals were dead – long live the retrosexual. To prove the case, just read The Retrosexual Manual: How [...]
BadNews roundup (the shagfest edition) 2008-09-07 01:43:28 Sex is breaking out all over downunder.

Kiss me I’m kosher 2008-09-06 12:30:01 Bad Living is in crisis. Co founder Rob has disappeared from the scene after muttering that he couldn’t share the limelight with yours truly, who in turn only bothers to post after six drinks and numerous rejections from the women at his local pub (none of whom have the class to recognise his/my genius)
The situation [...]
The Matzo Ball Blues - an exclusive Bad Living release 2008-08-28 03:42:36 One theory on the demise of the blues can be found on the back of a fifties John Lee Hooker album cover that Bad Living
