File this one under S for Shamus is an idiot.
Obviously I'd intended to advise all of my lovely subscribers that the address to my website has changed. In fact, I thought I already did.
(I didn't)
So be advised at this belated date that the former S Peter Davis Website is now located at http://www.othieves.com, not speterdavis.com. That won't work anymore. You can keep refreshing all you like. Not gonna happen. |

Thanks to those who contacted me over the past few weeks about the virus problem on this site. Though the issue probably drove away most of what small audience I had left after the address change, for anyone (anyone at all) who stuck with me, I'd like to report that the problem is, as far as I can tell, resolved. Though I don't know for sure because my personal antivirus software never did pick up anything. Feel free to contact me at shamus@othieves.com if you're still having problems.
Kisses. |

You know I wouldn't use this site for advertising space unless I truly believed in the product. No cash for comment here. That said, you should totally check out this sweet band and give them lots of your money.
For shits and giggles they recorded a surprisingly decent cover of Beyonce's most recent ear-gouger. I did some of the filming work for this video so I can still technically claim this as my own content. Partly. Sort of.
Grand Atlantic are working on their second studio album and you can listen to some of their original work on this Myspace thing. |

Got another Crap Movie Comic for you today, this time a very accurate condensed verson of Yes Man. Also, don't forget to check out The Rock Family, the greatest webcomic on the entire internet. |

Sorry, I forgot I had a website.
But I just had to come out of retirement to show you this. I don't know who this guy is or where he came from, but in a stunning display of not having anything better to do, he's taken an article I wrote for Cracked and used it to create an awesome video that must have taken days to produce. Thank you, whoever you are.
Also, just to reassure you that I do create my own content sometimes, here's a new thing.

You retards didn't vote BOB BROWN in the Australian election, and look where it got you! So you have one more chance. By popular demand, here's the next promotional video by Greens leader BOB BROWN.

Hi, you might recognise me as the one person who hates this book:
I had to read it for a literature course I'm doing, and when asked what I thought of it I went the honesty route and said I hated it. The class went dead silent for a few moments, and then someone demanded I say why.
Here's why. (And this will contain spoilers). ( Read on ) |

I made this thing, based on this thing. An Oklahoma county commissioner who is apparently pretty well known for being a bit of a cock. The comic, however, is a work of unrestrained genius. Enjoy.

So I was lining up for a class today in the goddamn shoebox building where I study, so many people in the hall that I had to stand blocking the doorway to one of the professors' offices. The door opened in front of me, and who should appear in front of me but Kim Wilkins.
Kim's a local writer of gothic, horror and fantasy novels, and probably the foremost author in Australia within those styles. Apparently she does some lecturing at my university on the side. We looked at each other for a moment, and then she greeted me by name.
The only thing is, I don't know whether the fact that Kim Wilkins knows me by name makes me something special, or just amusingly pathetic. See, the reason she knows me is because I've been inadvertantly haunting her for the best part of a decade.

Here's how you know your drink product idea has failed - when you have to re-launch the product with an ad campaign celebrating the fact that it tastes absolutely nothing like the old version.
The consumption of energy drinks forms a large part of my day, so I know a little something about this. About a year back, the Coca Cola company, offended by the fact that people were consuming liquids not made by them, launched a hostile attempt to bury Australia's energy drink products, especially competitors V and Red Bull, and replace them with a Coke monopoly. With a massive, expensive ad campaign, Coke announced the arrival of Mother, the energy drink to rule them all. All the biggest supermarket chains, apparently assuming resistance was futile, removed V and Red Bull from their shelves, and replaced them with stocks of Mother. For a few months, it was impossible to escape the ridiculous media oversaturation with the Mother campaign. As it turned out, there was one fatal flaw with Coke's master plan. A flaw so stupid that it evidently toppled the product within a year.

Generally speaking, 90% of the things that my university's student union does makes me want to stab them in the arms. That said, this week I was witness to a particularly mindboggling display of retardedness. This week I arrived on campus to find the entire place covered in Christmas decorations.
When I questioned the disgruntled lunch-lady wearing a Santa hat, she sighed and told me that it's because it's "Christmas in July" and the union has decided to celebrate. And that the employees have to pretty much go along with whatever retarded bullshit bandwagon they decide to jump on.

Before stepping into the cinema to see a bat punch a clown for two and a half hours the other night, I found myself in the mood for a greasy Hungry Jack's burger. This is when I found, to my amusement, that Hungry Jack's has adopted what might be the single lamest tie-in promotion I've ever seen. Introducing... THE DARK WHOPPER!
It's basically a regular whopper. From what I can tell, they've added a blob of BBQ sauce to it. Getting into the festive spirit of said bat-punching-clown movie, I decided to sample the Dark Whopper. I couldn't taste the difference.

Everybody takes longer to use the ATM than I do.
I don't know if I'm just too highly-strung, or if I'm doing something wrong, or if I'm just smarter than everyone else in the world. It's probably a little bit of each, in a 10-10-80 ratio. But it's definitely a fact. Whenever I'm behind someone in the ATM queue, the person ahead of me will inevitably take upwards of five minutes to convince the contraption to give them money.
