Rum Jungle, Northern Territory Superthread

[Axver]

Wow. "Eighth" looks like a totally wrong, foreign word now. How the hell did it get to be spelled like that?!

Even sober I feel like I'm spelling it wrong!

Three glasses of wine down, don't even feel tipsy.

 

[Axver]

Danny nails a penalty and it's 21-10 to New Zealand.

 

[Alisaura]

Definitely five in Bad, think I've caught six.

Caught five in Discotheque too.

That's some epic snippetry.

 

[RavenBlue]

Axver, just down the whole bottle in one ginormous, uncivilized gulp already

 

[Axver]

God, Australia were lucky just then. New Zealand had a sure try on, but fumbled and half time was called. 21-10 to the All Blacks with half the game to go. And we're just laying waste to the Wallabies; thumping tackles and shit.

And I'm onto my fourth glass now.

Online Etymology Dictionary

Pfft, doesn't tell me much except that it's from Old English.

Is it true that they put tape around their ears in rugby to prevent guys from ripping them off?

 

[Axver]

That's some epic snippetry.

Bad has had over fifty songs snippeted in it. Absolute insanity, and only sure to keep rising.

Yeah, if you're stuck at the bottom of a maul, you better watch out for shoe studs! Some short-haired/bald forwards wear this thin head cover so that studs don't rip nasty gashes in their scalp.

I didn't realize U2 played Calgary during the Elevation tour.

Youtube shows on concert results.. and then a bunch of stuff on trains!
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Axver, I see you've been busy at youtube

Proof that some witty ABC guy was right in naming the game "thugby".

Of course, he also called AFL "footbrawl", which was pretty accurate too.

Did he use my "American pansyball" term too?

So when Bono gets a new male dog, does he take it to the vet to be snippeted?

 

[Axver]

Kiwis score again! 26-10. Killer play and Nonu's not having a bad game for a change. What a good try. Thank you for coming, Australia!

 

[Serena Vox]

Heh, no new thread yet.
I'm back.

Fucking classic.

And hahahaha, Australian commentators can't pronounce Ma'a Nonu either. It's not Ma A Nonu!

Woah, fucking SWEET conversion from the sideline by Carter; that's 28-10.

 

[Axver]

Heh, no new thread yet.
I'm back.

I've the new one ready to go, though.

Yeah, more of my plot to subtly take over the world.

And now four glasses of wine are done.

 

[Serena Vox]

SuperWin.

Was Beer our fastest thread? We need make it through one even faster!

 

[RavenBlue]

Why is Bono playing guitar on EBTTRT?

 

[Serena Vox]

Why is Bono playing guitar on EBTTRT?

He's pretending.

 

[RavenBlue]

I know beer is a sure way for me to start posting in Czech.

 

[Axver]

SuperWin.

Yes, Beer is our fastest. I've been saying for a while we need to arrange a time that we're all here and churn through a thread. I think it can be done in 3 hours.

 

[Axver]

Why is Bono wearing guitar on EBTTRT?

Fixed for truth.

Because he wishes he were a rock star.

Yes we do, mind you I'll get lost in all the posting.

You know on the Popmart tour, when Bono would play his guitar out onto the B-stage at the end of LNOE.. I always wondered..

is it plugged in?

 

[Axver]

God, one Aussie guy's on the bench with cuts all over his face. Thugby alright!

I think it was more for show, though I do remember hearing something on some bootlegs. He wasn't wearing it as badly as in One on U2 3D, when he CAN'T actually be playing. God, that's laughable.
