And speaking of lava flows...

Go on, nerd it up, tell us all about its geological origins or omething. I know you want to! :wink:

You might as well, I haven't touched the bass in about a month. :reject:

Not teh computorzz!!!one1!! :no: :yikes: :scream:

I'm going. Any minute now. I swear...




holiday picture spam :drool:

I know what we need to do to get you playing the bass: book a gig for Phail.

And I bet you'll still be here in half an hour. :wink:

:lol: I don't recall there being a cane train carrying passengers being operational when I visited Bundaberg, unfortunately. :( Some freight running around but that was it. I know the train at the Big Pineapple is inspired by cane trains, though.

But the Big Pineapple sucks. It's wildly overpriced and all of my family found it a really dull place.
I think it must have been that one, cos we went to the Big Pineapple too... :yes:

When we hit the Big Pineapple in the late nineties, it was almost farcical. The food was poorly prepared and very expensive, and some of the attractions were a joke. There was some boat thing that was meant to provide automated commentary as you passed various items of interest, but all the boats were muddled up, so we'd get part of what was meant for us, overlaid with part of what was meant for the boat following us or whatever. Nobody had a good time and we were glad to go home!

I never got around to going to an Outback Steakhouse, but it sounds like it really brings the lulz. I hear they don't even actually offer anything involving kangaroo meat. Come ON.
Nope. And the Toowoomba Pasta has SEAFOOD in it. :lmao:

I told our waiter they should get some 'roo or emu on the menu... and then I told him that we say "mushies" if we want to abbreviate "mushrooms", rather than "shrooms"... he thought we were as amusing as we thought that place was, I'm sure. :giggle:

I'll see if I can remember to bring the menu on Friday, or some other day...

Toowoomba ... seafood?! :lmao: I should tell that to my friend who goes to uni in Toowoomba. Good heavens, would it be that hard to choose a coastal town like Mooloolaba?

Haha, they abbreviate it as "shrooms"? That's too funny. And it's just a bit farcical that they don't actually have kangaroo or emu on the menu. I suppose it's meant to be gimmicky and all, but I can't say I'd find it hard to get some 'roo or emu here, so it shouldn't be THAT hard for them either.

Though I suppose your average American might think "OH NO KANGAROO I CAN'T EAT THAT! Aren't they endangered?" No. They're tasty.

Zzzzzzz.

This getting up for cricket may be a bad idea

:wave:

Oh, shit, I think I've missed the start of the broadcast.

Goddamnit, I need to go to bed soon too.

Well, that particular lava flow was from some time in the 70s, I think, and is an example of a low-viscosity pahoehoe type of basalt....

This, to compare, is an example of a roughly contemporaneous a'a (high viscosity) flow...

And I never expected this... apparently (relatively) new lava can have these beautiful iridescent colours in the vesicles...

And thanks, i'm thinking of changing it again but i don't really want to be banned.

Your signature is still not acceptable. If you want to continue to mock other posters this way, your signature will be suspended.

Wouldn't that be an incentive to NOT practice, if we really want to phail?

And how much? :p

*looks at clock* ... :uhoh:

I said play, not practice. :wink:

Haha, it seems I've just about won on the half hour bet. Should've specified a dollar figure. :wink:

the only thing i can have at an outback is a salad and a bloomin onion. it is a steakhouse after all ;)
True.... :wink:

I went to an American themed restaurant in this little English town, and a Australian themed one in Hawaii... :giggle:

Very tasty.

And there are emu farms in America... one of my friends in Georgia said she saw an escapee from such a farm running around in a field near her house. That must have been bizarre... she has a gum tree in her yard too! :lol:

I have got to get out of here....

See, now don't you feel better for nerding it up? :wink:

Complete with your equivalent of those nerdy photos of me with trains/trams! :up:

Now that looks pretty neat.

Yeah, I think I've won the half hour bet! And you're going to be even MORE sleep deprived.

I don't think you're missing a lot.

What's the score on your broadcast? I don't know if we have the same delay ...

:laugh:

I think we have emu farms here too. It would explain Emu Farm Road out near Pukekohe

Mine's live apparently, if you really want to know....
































84/4 after 10.2 overs

Mine must apparently be live then too. 4/85 after 10.5. Shocking drop by Lehmann just then.
