There really aren't any original ideas left in the world

Maybe Cactus Annie and Ol Whiskey could come up with something between them, but I sure can't.

Just degrees of appropriateness.

That old one is shock value and nothing more. But I still laughed heartily while re-visiting it.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wow, that's like the Gilgamesh to the Odyssey we've got going on now. Nice.

(Am I implying that there will be another 3000 years of threads devoted to threads that don't exist? Yes.)

Looking at Hong Kong flights. Holy shit. Some are real fucking cheap in January. I'm going to do this. I am actually going to do this.

 

[Alisaura]

If it's alright with you guys, I also would just like to take a moment to pimp a post I made early one morning last week.

Are those tapirs?

 

[Alisaura]

Also, fezzes are cool.

Additionally, I wasn't aware there was any discussion in any of the other game threads.

Furthermore, I don't know if that's one word or not, and by god possums make the least attractive sounds of any mammal (including elephant seals)... although now the arguing neighbours are drowning them out.

RYM's compiled practically the encyclopaedia of fake threads with a thread running to about 3,000 pages.

I assume that's what you meant to say.

And huh, I would've thought January international flights would be pricey, what with everybody having holidays and time to travel.

 

[bono_man2002]

I think if you travel a week or so either side of Christmas/New Years it's not all that bad.

 

[Slopsy]

I'm afraid I don't know what it could be, Ax.

Ahahuahuha

There's no choice. This is my desktop background. Always and forever.

So, uh, it appears that one of the songs on Pinback's new album is about William Wallace Denslow, the guy who illustrated The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, bought a small island in Bermuda with the profits, built a castle on it, and declared himself King Denslow I of Denslow Island.

Hahaha. This is one of the reasons why I love Pinback.

Bonnie, you need to make one of just Crazy-Eyes McGuinness ogling Larry Mullen in drag. Please? For me?

 

[bono_212]

That looks pretty swell. Have you been on one before?

No, I haven't, and it looks like it will have to wait until next year

Oh my goodness I'd forgotten about her, definitely one of my favourites. Remember the classic "U2 and Mutts comics"?

I DO, but apparently Travis doesn't, because I saw a Mutts collection at Barnes and Noble a few weeks back and about died in the aisle laughing.

This story makes me smile.



Since Travis is using the second one, Bonnie, I am using the first.

Ahaha, I'd have died too.

What a dreadful comic, but thanks LiliBe, they're hilarious now!

At a bar where me and a friend are the only not-black people. Cobbler's dream!

(have drank a thousand beers, you guys)

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I could punch PFan in the face a thousand times, you guys.

(I hate this phrase so much)

 

[cobl04]

I have smoked weed two nights in a row. Friday I didn't have as much as I would have liked. Last night it was straight weed and I greened out in front of four friends. Now I'm sitting by myself at a Melbourne Tigers game. I witnessed two dodo mascots dance Gangnam Style and the idiots in charge of entertainment think it's a good idea to yell random things and play club songs during the game to manufacture atmosphere. I bought hot chips before for $5 but they were dry and awful so I didn't finish them. And I'm pretty hungover.

Strange weekend.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well done.

 

[Axver]

Who the hell are the Melbourne Tigers?

Was there perhaps a merger overnight that I missed?

Aren't they in the NBL? aka the sport league nobody in Australia cares about.

 

[Axver]

That still exists? I thought it had gone under.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I don't follow much but I remember one of the teams became defunct only to emerge again a few years later.

 

[Axver]

I think the collapsed sporting league I'm thinking of is some national baseball league we used to have. I only know it existed because there was a failed Gold Coast team and my school was just down the road from the stadium they used (usually playing front of the players' mums and a seagull).

Given the Gold Coast's track record with failed teams in practically every sport, I wonder how long the Suns and the Titans will last before they go under.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Suns should go okay. They're still getting decent crowds despite their expected ladder positioning. Plus they're only going to get better.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, but Gold Coasters are pretty much the most fickle sports fans ever. I'm pretty sure the Titans are their FOURTH attempt at a rugby league team, despite the fact that's the most popular sport there. I'm rather impressed that the Suns have maintained attendance, but I think it's in part because they appeal to the large Victorian ex-pat community that doesn't care for league, and they still have the Melbourne tradition of actually turning up to sporting events.

 

[bono_man2002]

Yo Ax, do you happen to have a copy of the email for the camera settings Matt used to use for filming the 360 tour? I know he sent them to you before the Australian leg of 360. I was just wondering if you do have a chance to look for them, and they are there...could you send them to my gmail?

Cheers!

 

[bono_man2002]

STOP THE PRESSES!


It's all good, found the PM.

 

[Axver]

Haha, good, because I'm not sure I'd have liked my chances of finding it!

 

[cobl04]

I really could write a book on all the monumental fuckwits I see, meet and hear on the Werribee train.
