First world blender problems

A few days ago it seemed the whole world was going absolutely gaga over some Thermomix thing.
And I have absolutely no idea why...

Thermowhat?




Now up until my lovely wife explained to me what a Thermomix was (and how cool the new one is because it's got a touch screen or something - I'll be honest, I starting losing interest when I learnt it was a fancy blender) I thought it was some French House Duo like Daft Punk that had done something magical, and not a food processor.

That's Thermo on the right..

But now that I realize that the Thermomix won't have a greatest hits album coming up just in time for xmas, I'm still left wondering why the world is frothing about it. And in some cases frothing mad about the new one.
A radio station I was listening to on the way back home from a major city one night was pointing out that people who'd gone out and bought a Thermomix (paying a premium for it undoubtedly) had revealed that it had completely changed their lives. How?

Do you get more sex with a Thermomix?

Do the Jones's next door get green with envy when they see the box in your garbage bin, pack up and leave to find a neighbor less classy?

Is there some kind of Stonecutter like group where you need a Thermomix on your benchtop before you can give someone the secret attachment handshake?

I am ready for the choc chips brother Thermo!

Yes okay, your food might be better processed, great. That still doesn't mean that processed cheese will ever be better than a wheel of delicious bree. Your chopped up breadcrumbs to stuff a chook with won't get any fresher by the power of the Thermomix.
It won't roast a rack of lamb like I can and given enough time I reckon I could use a ten dollar knife to dice up something beyond recognition like it could.

Seriously, if I went to a friends place for dinner and all they talked about was what they do with a fancy food processor, I'd start secretly dialing a cab and looking for the nearest exit.

So..do you own a Thermomix?

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Mortal Engines for the Emperor!

Now maybe it's just me and maybe I've read far too much into the Warhammer 40K lore and universe...but I'm seeing a lot of parallels between it and the now available on Netflix movie Mortal Engines..

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...
