    Clearly FD, it’s time you connected your fridge to the INTERNET!

    I can’t believe someone who’s got the NBN!!!….. Hasn’t realised how easily he could download a delicious feast of angry birds.

    The week ends on a deeply philosophical note. The contents of our fridges count among life’s greatest disappointments – often even more dispiriting than not winning a gold medal.

    I love the fridge-examining pose in the first frame.
    One hand on the door and the other on the canine hip.

    I do this myself, but if I take too long the fridge beeps at me.
    It thinks it knows when I should close its door.

    Why are all the machines smarter than I am? WHY?

    … caused me to reflect on my past. And my future. I am just going outside and may be some time..

    Existentialism merely posits angst in response to the nothingness of human existence, but First Dog illustrates the angst arising from modern materialist nothingness, when everything is nothing and nothing is everything.

    It could be worse, Firsty. Call me if you find yourself staring at the toilet.

    Antidotes:

    1. Look into the cupboard, and if this doesn’t work,
    2. Check for Jaffas in the lounge, and if this doesn’t work,
    3. Go down to the best coffee provider in the universe, stand there until the guy who knows what you’re supposed to have makes it for you and gives it to you.

    You’re out of trouble now, just sit down, sip and wait for a gorgeous to accost you, look deeply into your soft brown eyes, pat the top of your head and wink at you.

    You’re back in trouble, but it’s the good kind of trouble.

    Have a lovely weekend. Go out a bit.

    There are plenty of things in my fridge that I want to eat, but I fear that there are things that want to eat me – right at the back.

    Two echoes haunt me from my childhood:
    ‘You can’t really be hungry, then’, and ‘Have a piece of fruit.’
