Whisky makes ya frisky

But rum makes ya glum. Or it seemed when I spotted porn star Ron Jeremy promoting his signature brand of the spirit at a liquor shop on Oxford Street. With zero fans visible as I passed by, "The Hedgehog" looked bored, tired and just generally over it as he sat down on a bench out front and fiddled with his keys or whatever. (To be fair, though, a guy I know met him at a different in-store appearance a day or two later that sounds like it was a big success.)

In other news, I went to a local MMA show with MR. Staged at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, it was the culmination of The Fight Project, which saw journo Adam Thompson give himself three months to shed 22kg and learn all of the skills necessary for a professional cage fight. While he ate too many knees and fell to a sub by rear naked choke in round 2, the dude showed plenty of ticker and the profits from the event went to a children's cancer ward.
