Well, here I am. I’m Tom and I thought it might be fun to drop in to say “G’day”.

What you see above is an exclusive photo of me with a moustache. It is the first ever released photo of my extended nasal hair taken at 7am on Tuesday morning. I think my mo makes me look sleazy, and my I say that I shaved it off about 10 minutes after the photo was taken.

Please don’t think I usually pose like that for photos. I look like a knob.

Is it rude to say “knob”?

I figure that Howie doesn’t usually talk theology on his blog so maybe I should spout a few Bible references around and talk about sanctification and pre-destination. I can show my biblical prowess and hope that people are impressed.

I have noticed that theological training isn’t really attractive to the ladies. I don’t think it’s really unattractive either. Perhaps it seems boring to some, but I don’t think anyone is all that impressed. I was told tonight that to attract women you need eye contact. “Damn!” I thought “All this time I’ve been impressing them with Bible quotes and I should have been just looking at them in the eyes.” I’ll tell ya, Bible college fees are a lot of money to pay just to impress the women. I should have gotten a car. I hear they impress women.

I mean what woman wouldn’t get excited by a machine that looks nice, goes fast, and is painted shiny red? It’s just like good finger nails but on a larger scale. I wonder how many guys find long finger nails attractive? I tend to find them a little scary myself. I’d rather keep away from sharp objects. Women are scary enough, but women with sharp pointy things on the ends of their digits… Yikes!

I’m running a “Love Advice” segment in church on Sunday night, so I guess I’m just warming up. I don’t really know much about the whole love thing, but I have learnt this: While giving a Mars bar to the object of your affection may be a nice gesture, giving half a Mars bar is just kinda gross.

And a bit embarrassing too I’ve realised. Like when they tell you that the caramel went all over their pillow while the chocolate melted waiting for them to come and find it.

Anyway, I think I’ll be off now. It has been fun visiting. Howie is a magical man, and it’s nice to play a small part in his magical blog.
