Working in academia. I hope to work in either academia or some research place when I graduate in 14 years time.

Damn you, LMP, and your not-being-aroundness.

Well, he saw a brand of rum or something called Wild Irish Rose at a bottleshop there, at least ...!

Well I saw the city of angels
It brought a devil out in me
And Hell's hotel on Sunset
Showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screaming
From the roof I let her go
These are the dizzying heights that brought me
My Wild Irish Rose

^ That entire verse references Los Angeles, I believe.

Oh, then Bono's infringing on Springsteen's territory? This could end in tears/litigation.

Springsteen's written about New York numerous times. New York City Serenade, Incident on 57th Street, Jungleland off the top of my head...

I'm desperate for it to work out, as I have no fucking clue what else I would do.

The worst part is, I want to stay living in Australia but my field is New Zealand history.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Oh, and in great news, I got pulled over today! My first RBT!!! It's only taken 16 years of driving to get the police to notice me.

Good catch. Never thought about that.

Surely there'd be a good need for NZ history here?

You should've been going to a fancy-dress party. The one time my mother ever got pulled over in New Zealand, she and a group of friends were going to a fancy-dress party in ridiculous get-up. The police officer laughed so hard at the sight of them that he let her go without as much as a warning!

 

[The Sad Punk]

I need to make this five posts in the thread.

Yeah, though I'd say the song is more inspired by than about, at least if you compare it to New York. But then again, everything on ATYCLB is like taking a sledgehammer to nuance.

 

[phillyfan26]

Where are the fucking Musketeers?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

hey peeps, guess who's back.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This was the 2000 version of 1991's "chopping down the Joshua Tree"

i ate them.

I'd like to hope so, and if I'm not grossly mistaken, a couple of leading scholars on Kiwi issues have relocated from New Zealand to Australia in the past and done quite well for themselves. Hopefully my field of interests will be diverse enough that I will be able to take courses on some stuff that may not specifically be about New Zealand but tie in with it, while doing my actual research on New Zealand. For example, a course on women's suffrage would inherently have to emphasise the role of New Zealand as the first country to give women the vote.

i came up with a lame analogy for atyclb. if achtung is the sound of four men chopping down the joshua tree, atyclb is the sound of four men asleep at the wheel of a trabant.


get it???

Not you, I hope. Fuck.

You seem to be a very hungry person these days.

sars.

well, it all started because i picked the wrong flavour of ice cream...

 

[Axver]

Fuck, it's a mod! Everybody look well-behaved!

 

[phillyfan26]

Sars is not the proper response. I'm probably going to get NSW to kill you, Khan.

Alright, this might be leaning slightly racist but, trust me, it's just a joke. And a stupid one at that.

My friends and I, who are all white, if we see a police officer when we are out driving around it has become tradition for all of us to say "Act white!!! Act white!!!"

Usually inspires a chuckle or two.

 

[Angela Harlem]

I always forget KhanKhan is a mod Her and April remind me of the days when we'd rip it up in the black forum. Whatever it was called. Fun days.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'm going to live out in the wilderness for a few days. See you all in a couple!

 

[Angela Harlem]

And when I say black, I mean it was actually black.

 

[phillyfan26]

The tradition for us when driving in the car is:

One person: Free!
Everyone else: Beer!

Usually gets a ticket or two.

Have a great time!
