Isn't that traditional Aboriginal law though? Spearing through the thigh as a form of punishment?

Yeah, that sounds familiar...

 

[Axver]

Hey Ali!

How about the cool change that's rocked up, eh?

 

[major_panic]

*catches up* Hi Jen and Ax and Maj...

Hey Ali!

 

[Axver]

I have one, but it's Chinese, 7 feet long and unsharpened.

If John Howard visits Melbourne, I would like to borrow it for activities that I assure you will be Perfectly Legal.*

*Under an Axverian dictatorial regime anyway.

Y'know how people joke about talking about the weather being the most neutral venue of discussion, the last thing everyone falls back to?

Here in Melbourne, it's really not. It's practically one of the first things anyone mentions, and it's always relevant.

If he comes to the university, I'll rock up with ALL my weapons. Let's see them try to stop me from walking into any lecture he's giving, ha.

Also, you forget the good old Exodic law. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I reckon for the disrespect he's shown to the Aboriginals, he deserves at least a spearing.

Shame it hasn't reached inside our house yet.
At least I didn't have to drive home in excessive heat!


I'm always talking about weather...

Yeah, Melbourne provides endless material for weather discussion. In Queensland, it's just "well, I see the weather hasn't changed in the last month".

That would be too awesome. "Nah, I'm just here to do a traditional wushu demonstration and to debut my new Haast's Eagle technique for the Prime Minister ..."

And I'll show up with my arsenal of intellectual weaponry.

Morning, Superthread.

Just saw the Arcade Fire discussion. Totally agree about "Wake Up."

I feel there's two songs they actually pulled off: "Rebellion (Lies)" and "Intervention."

Greetings AMENDMENT, THE

 

[major_panic]

Hey there, AMENDMENT. Is this the real life, is this just fantasy?

And damn, I seem to have passed 1000 posts without noticing. Oh well.

Hah, I just e-mailed you and asked if the cool change arrived early enough for you. Glad it did.

I'm somewhat hooked to following the Bureau of Meteorology's website ...

Greetings, Pee Fan.

I don't mind Rebellion (Lies). Can't remember Intervention.

 

[phillyfan26]

Intervention's off the second album.

 

[Alisaura]

Congrats on being a Refugee, Maj.!

POST WHOA-OOORE!

Hopefully one of the premiums can search back and find out which post was your 1,000th.

Nice going on how quickly you've boosted your post count.

 

[major_panic]

Some of the subdivisions within the Law as shown in the Brick Testament:

When To Stone Your Children
When To Marry Your Sister-In-Law
When To Stone Your Whole Family
Fashion
Male Genital Injury
Why To Keep The Law

It's all great!

 

[Axver]

Intervention's off the second album.

Ah. I played the whole album twice. It was mediocre. Less shitty moments, but less potential too.

It's one of the few sites we can access at work... the radar maps can provide hours of entertainment when the only alternative is Yellow Pages or the Age website

I got that one immediately!

I tend to agree. I like them, but I certainly don't hero-worship them like some people around here do.

Intervention is on my playlist, so you'll get another shot to hear it.

Is there a way of doing that besides just counting?

Now there's a Testament I can take seriously.

The Age website occasionally does provide lols. Usually it has useful information though, such as cool changes

And the Bureau of Meteorology (Melbourne) is actually cutting-edge science here, rather than a creative way of avoiding a real job. (thanks Terry Pratchett for that one!)
