― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 June 2004 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh what?? Now I hate her suddenly.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 June 2004 05:46 (twenty-one years ago)

it sounds like something kath and kim would dream up.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 June 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

hopefully because she realised how much she annoys people and that thus she should not procreate again and had her tubes tied at the same time as they were whipping poor recipe-for-needing-therapy epiphany out of her womb.

She's gorgeous. I want to look like that when I'm 41.

i quite often drink when i'm sick, it cheers me up and i like to tell myself that it cures whatever ails me. and anyway, you can't distinguish the hangover from the illness. everyone's a winner.

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 20 June 2004 06:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Painkillers + booze = magic

I love the book I just read, but I can't admit what it is in case people think I'm some kind of geek for reading Doctor Who novels. Oh whoops.

No! But it had all sorts of awesome Douglas Adams-style stuff going on, and I laughed out loud every second page.

That reminds me to bump the appropriate thread...

hi guys. sorry if any of you were trying to listen to the radio one livestream. i am currently a) feeling like an incompetent idiot for not being able to figure out how to plug in the turntables, which had been so lovingly unplugged by lazy hiphop djs who don't bother to plug them back in again b) pissed off that none of the radio one staff were reachable to give me instructions on plugging the turntables back in, and pissed off that i carried a ton of records down here IN THE MOTHERFUCKING RAIN c) sad because my boyfriend is having a birthday party and i am not there because i don't live in tucson.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 June 2004 07:29 (twenty-one years ago)

o no! commiserations. i once did a show where i was so st*ned that i fell asleep and left the station id cart on repeat until someone phoned and laughed at me.

did yer records get wet? i'll listen next time if you promote well in advance!

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 20 June 2004 07:33 (twenty-one years ago)

no my records didn't get wet. i just don't like lugging shit around, especially not in the rain, if nothing is gonna eventuate out of it. i mean if i had a car that goes this wouldn't be a big deal. i will try to promote a show well in advance but it is hard cos i don't have a regular slot yet.

hahahaha you stoner.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 June 2004 07:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Listening to it now...

Actually, I'm just assuming no. I haven't ried. Maybe I should've. Was it a good birthday party? Well, yes, if you like screaming kids, crap fast food, and awkward parents, all indoors on a sunny day. Pshaw.

Well this is somewhat slow I am to think. For Dominaktor record new album, 'Cut Your Hair and Worship Satan' in 33 minutes, which is five minutes shorter than album itself.

Also I'm at work, have had a sum total of four hours sleep in the past two nights, almost lost my job the other week (I didn't know that broadband accounts could even have a monthly limit as low as 600mb! oh well, gonna get $600-$1000 taken outta my pay + I've been doing slave labour for thee big boss), can't get my name taken off the bills as my old flats until they're all payed off - all $720 of them. & gotta get a bond together in under a month.

Looks like Ned's presence was but fleeting.

Why is it that because I rarely sit down to watch a movie, when I do, it's not in it's case. We bought Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind on DVD last week and now it's not in it's case or the DVD player.

I'm going to have to settle for Plan 9 from outer space...again.

I guess knowing it was shot on a tiny budget in 22 days made me forgive some of it's crappier bits. Some of the acting was horrendous, but I'm all for any movie that shows judaism in a positive light that isn't like the film said, yentyl or fiddler on the roof or whatever.

I actually considered converting for a short time to justify my unnatural interest, but learning the torah seems like far too much work.

what do you mean, do you usually make a dramatic announcement about how you're never coming back, getting a life, focussing on work/family/friends/the outdoors?

no i didn't do any of those things! i just mentioned in an ilx chat that i was leaving and the next thing i knew there was a thread about it. it was too much for my ego to handle, and so i came crawling back, slavering for more of the ilx goodness.

yeah 100kgs, it's actually quite easy. See you put the plates on the weightlifting device, I put 50 kgs on each side (one for each leg) and you just sit on your ass and push them up. I do 15 repetitions, holding for three secs each. I learnt how to use the free weights properly too. My instructor reckons I can get down to a size 14 easy in 6 months if I stick at it, and that it one hell of an incentive.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 04:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow. My gym doens't have a donkey, but it does have a thing where you lie on your back and push down. I got up to 130kg on that before the mess that was this year, so I'm back down to 90kg now.

I think some Sadistic Exekution next don't you? And then maybe some Alchemist. The Aussie stuff - never seems to get any coverage here does it?

One of the guys from Sadistic Ex met me on a bus way back in 1989-ish. He objected to me wearing a t-shirt with alchemical symbols when I didn't know what they meant.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:31 (twenty-one years ago)

He wouldn't like my artwork then :)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:45 (twenty-one years ago)

You use alchemical symbols too?

I don't think anyone really knows what they mean, not really, that's why alchemy is so mysterious and fascinating. The symbology seems to be very personal and coded. I can see the value in pretending to know what they mean though, in terms of attaining status in an occult setting.

He looked like Tiny Tim. Nice bloke, friendly. He wasn't offensive or anything. I expect he worked in the public service like most black metal afficionados.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm...I've used alchemic symbols before, I sort of know what some of them mean I've looked into it a little.

I don't actually have a problem with not being an expert on any of the symbols or languaghes I've used in my work because the point for me if that they are cryptic and mysterious, not the actual meaning behind the words/symbols.

That said, I try to develop some working knowledge of whatever it is I'm using because when I get questioned about it (and I do) I look like a prime wally if i don't know anything at all about the subject.

Tell them it's esoteric, not for the uninitiated, haha.

Hey Kate, you have to check out this book if you haven't already:

What Painting Is: How to Think About Oil Painting, Using the Language of Alchemy
by James Elkins

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0415921139/104-0111675-8384707?v=glance

It's one of the best, most original books about painting I've ever read (I even found it helpful for my music). Elkins argues that artists are, in effect, alchemists in the pre-scinetific sense because they experiment with mixtures and concoctions for their own sake. He also has a wonderful way of getting right up close to a painting to show how the paint and brushstrokes were applied, and what they indicate about the artist.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Cool, that sounds really interesting and I'm looking for a new book anyhow. Since I've cut down on my net use so much I've become incredibly bored of late.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I gave away my copy - funnily enough, to a black metal fan with a passing interest in alchemy - and he just didn't get into it. Never got it back either.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Goodness, I hate it when that happens.

I always give away my artwork to people and then find out later it's been sitting against a wall or in a box gathering dust for years.

Kind of burns me up, but I guess thats the nature of getting something for nothing eh?

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Ouch. You can console yourself with the famous story of Van Gogh's doctor using his gift of a painting to repair a chicken coop.

I gues the inspiring message of the Elkins book, over and above the erudition and amazing close-up photography and analysis, is that contrary to what art critics commonly believe, artists proceed without any particular plan or purpose, just mucking about, taking risks, breaking obvious rules which every first year art student knows... it's always so refreshing to remind myself of this, it puts the fun and surprise back into music. I know, we all know this anyway, but we get discouraged from time to time by the weight of public and critical opinion... it's always nice when an academic or teacher has grasped it too, and reminds us....

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

That's true.

Sometimes it seems like when I finally start to value what I do as an artist (and believe me, it's been a long time coming) something or worse still somebody comes along and makes me question all over again why I'm even bothering.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed now.

Sleep tight Colin :)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, It's pretty cheap to fly to NZ and I need some kind of holiday. I can't think of a better excuse than to drop by and pay you a visit.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

oh I missed you there colin :)

I slept okay, although it took me ages to get to sleep and I've woken up with some kind of crappy cold or something. Sore throat and blocked nose at any rate.

I'm going shopping for a picnic hamper. I've booked a nice room in a nice hotel, a restaurant overlooking the harbour, and various other nice things.I'm treating R to what my dad has already called 'a dirty weekend'.

Xmas in Dunedin would be spiffy, all sunny and summery and late nights!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, it's nothing serious. I feel 90% rather than 100%. Not too under-the-weather.

Sounds like fun Colin, the last dirty weekend I had was a camping trip in rainy conditions in the north-east victorian snowfields. There was mud everywhere and no rooting.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know much at all about NZ, so it'll be fun getting an education.

NZ is the land of the kind and good folks who encourage you to buy chocolates. I find this key.

That excelsior thing was, I think, a troll. Mark grout must have known the reaction itd garner and if so, he must really have it in for ILX! I think everyone's been stupid getting so mad at each other/leaving the board over something no one woulda even bought...

Still, their loss.

I like Trayce's theory. Sorry K, I didn't mean to contradict your point, which I agree with.

What is good to do in Dunedin Di?

Well there IS the Cadbury plant.

There is also, more seriously, many places to chat and have a drink, a totally cool OCTAGON in the center of the city, the space age University of Otago library, Michael Morley's fave wine and liquor store, and the tip of the Otago Peninsula where you can go for an ecotour and see baby seals staring up at you winsomely from right where you stand.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:28 (twenty-one years ago)

there are backapckers aplenty. you probably won't need em though, theres room for you in my flat! plenty is good to do. there is drinking at arc and the crown with such esteemed local bands as the futurians and dick the phone to entertain you. there are more art galleries than you could ever want or need, such as the blue oyster and introspect (my personal favourites). we have nice beaches, some of which have seals and penguins. actually theres nature galore here, if you like that sort of thing. y'know, pretty views from green hilltops and such.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:29 (twenty-one years ago)

jaja i have it. i asked you because i wanted to know if you wanted it because i have it but as you said you have it i didn't give you it but that didn't mean that i wanted you to give me the one you have although i can see how it might

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 24 June 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I see. You do realise that this misunderstanding means we are now mortal enemies and one of us must die?

In the meantime, let me send you the other two at least. And then a spot of Alan.

i believe we both must die, my friend. ok. sorry if you have now an extra copy. send it to Di!

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 24 June 2004 04:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to give it to my lawyer friend who's getting into satanism (even more so than being a lawyer automatically entails). He might want to experience it in an intimate setting with his consort, I have suggested to him.

I think prejudice against satan worship may well be outlawed by certain provisions of the Discrimination Act (1991). You may land yourself in court! Interesting.

I have a healthy respect for the occult, not something I especially want to mingle with though.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Thursday, 24 June 2004 04:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, how does one come to worship Stan? Does one need an invitation to one of his parties?

Out there are probably quite a few satanists who are merely trying to put Anton LaVey's eleven principles into practise diligently and humbly. To practise their religion in peace. Or perhaps they are attracted to the rituals: the incense, the meditative worship, and the other things that happen there.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 24 June 2004 04:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know Di, but I suspect she is not averse to a bit of roque, or even roxx. However my guess is that she never rawks or wocks.

I rock, and sometimes even rrrrrrrrrrrock. However, I have never rawked. On a bad day I do wock, I must admit it. It's part of being English that you wock and woll sometimes, when really you would've preferred to rock and roll.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 24 June 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

good morning all!

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Thursday, 24 June 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm still burning cds. its been a very boring day. i'll be watching harry potter videos with my flatties soon :-) for some reason i'm averse to booze and going out at the moment.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Friday, 25 June 2004 05:14 (twenty-one years ago)

oh don't be, i'll wake up with a super-size hangover tomorrow i'm sure of it.

Have you ever noticed how when you try to simplify your life, it immediately gets all complex and crappy again?

x-post

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

beer time

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Drink deep of Bacchus's libation my friend.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:43 (twenty-one years ago)

indeed i will. for today i have battled the beast, comforted the downtrodden and partaken of the sport of men.

also as i was sitting outside the train station a smackie chick asked me for a light, then stood there - eyes closed - swaying. i woke her once - "i've been drinking" she disingenuously muttered - and then again to offer her a seat. whenst 'lo! a smackie thug appeared and was thus to whisk her away saying "you wanna...c'mom you wanna?" but she was stumbling so he dragged her to a nearby seat. she was up quickly, grasping her baggage as if to off and still yet he has her by the arm and is wrestling with her. she begins to complain - she is obviously not enamoured of this gent. he is getting rougher and i - damn! why must it? - raise my voice. he snarls threateningly and yet i remain calm and state the case for his release of the girl. he is violently bemused by my intevention and thus...she slips away.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:51 (twenty-one years ago)

he is violently bemused by my intevention

do you mean he clocked you gaz? how very rough and tumble!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

good on you gaz!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

That's pretty courageous Gaz, I'm swooning :)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

courageous? no it was fucking annoying. no he didn't clock me - just stared me out and muttered threats. i was still pumped full of soccer endorphins!

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:57 (twenty-one years ago)

well it would've been easier to ignore them is what i'm saying i guess.

scuse me, i'm rather wasted.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 08:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Sobered up somewhat.

Brain in knots.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Ahhh now I see.

this is rock bitch.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to bite my tongue on what I think of this lot.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i wasn't going to but maybe i should????? can i just say the word natural is annoying?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Dumbasses trying to intellectualise getting their flaps out is annoying

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Hehehe I love this lot. Especially the guy. He has a look on his face like the cat that got the cream!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I was thinking that too.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

their music is sooo good though. can't unnerstand how they fucked up otherwise. yeah colin he has some resemblance to you!

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

You can't be serious Gaz, they fail on all counts in the Kate O'Brien credibility test.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, he does look a bit like me, ahaha

I'll stick my neck out and say I quite like their music once I get past the preachy/teachy aspect. Strong singers, strong players, quite interesting songs.

Kate, what are the principles of the O'Brien test?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I was discussing it with Darren actually while we were watching it.

You can practice any of the following without incurring my harsh criticism;

Vegetarianism
Paganism
Bad lyrics
Sexual Freedom
Simulated menstrual blood drinking
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice

But when you start using these things in combination with the other things you automatically get a fail.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually strike that, you can practice sexual freedom and vegetarianism without me shooting withering glances your way, however I think you see what I'm getting at.

The girls seemed to not be keeping it as real as maybe they should be.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism
Me - no
R - no

Paganism
Me - no
R - hell no

Bad lyrics
Me - yes
R - no

Sexual Freedom
Me - yes, in theory
R - yes, in theory and practise

Simulated menstrual blood drinking
Me - no, except when I'm showing off at a dinner party
R - no

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice
Me - no
R - yes, but only in anger

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah well then I'm safe. I was starting to worry I'd offended you.

Hell even I fall into some of those categories.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course I'm not offended. It's an excellent test. Gaz, how did you score?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Bad lyrics
Me - yes
R - no

hahaha

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Score with Kate O'Brien

50 cents a go!

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism

voni - o yes my goodness indeeed o yes

Paganism

Bad lyrics

Simulated menstrual blood drinking
me-ok
voni - whos fucking menstrual blood is that???

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice

me - ok at work
voni - never

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Well that's it Gaz, I'm afraid I just can't mix with the likes of you anymore.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Gaz is a pretentious hippy like I am a blushing Russian princess.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Nice to meet you Tzarina.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Ugh! Guards, a filthy hippy touched my train!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Show me where the bad man touched you.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

voni has oked my responses kate....this neeeds to be a thread in and of and unto itself!!!!

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

voni must think i'm a mental case.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

do you ok this as a general ile test then?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Definitely Kate - we need a special O'Brien test thread.

I went looking for the Rockbitch site but it's down - I found this tribute site but it ends in 2002:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mattparker/rockbitch/hostbitch.html

I wonder if they've gone offline or the commune has collapsed or what.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Well you can do it if you want but I have a feeling it'll just get people's backs up and then they'll tell me what a conservative minded fool I am.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:27 (twenty-one years ago)

that many chicks living together?

They probably imploding in a ball of firey bitchdom.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

imploded

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Their periods would all synchronise, for one thing, hahaha. Oh lawd help that one guy - a full moon and nine menstrual women, ahaha, although he looks like the calm type.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i done it kate sorry

the calum type?

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-one years ago)

He probably just goes awol for a week every month. I wouldn't blame him.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Look, they won't take it seriously, they know you're Australian. A few New Yorkers may go, 'Euuuw, too much inforMAAAYtion!'

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah I don't really care.

Any ideas about who Kate O'Brien is are entirely out of my control anyhow :)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

gaz has had that last drink and has propelled himself into oblivion. And I am going to bed. Goodnight, gaz and Kate.

Looks like you're own your own Gaz, I'm to bed too.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Wake up! Cunt! Cunt!

Hang on, that sounds like a Whitehouse lyric.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 22:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a sunny day which is nice, for part of my itinerary for spoiling R today involves a picnic in the Botanic Gardens. Plus, she's feeling much better, hooray!!!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 27 June 2004 10:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Never have I been happier for someone elses sex life!

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Sunday, 27 June 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

My grandmother had a saying:

Make love to your husband every night
And you'll get what you want without a fight.

I would like to propose, in the same spirit, a couplet for men:

Immerse you woman in luxury
And she will put out abundantly.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 27 June 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah sex...I remember it well.

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Sunday, 27 June 2004 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

my dad - who is 71 - gave me a copy of pink floyds "live at pompeii" on dvd on saturday. apparently mum didn't like it (its not her fave period floyd and its got too much doco material, not enough concert footage apparently). dad, on the oother hand, thought it was good.

We need to swap Dads. I went to my parents place and the weekend and my 58 year old father made me listen to Acker Bilk to the point where I was ready to stomp up and down on the cassette.

Count me on on the dad-swapping party. Last album mine bought is a John Williamson.

TISM's new album is disappointing.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 28 June 2004 02:42 (twenty-one years ago)

my dad rings me at least once a fortnight to tell me of some unheard of bargain at WA Salvage he saw in the paper , that i simply MUST buy because i could use it all the time. like a $5 indoor clothesline or $9.95 ugboots. it's very cute.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 28 June 2004 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I wasn't paying much attention though... let me think...

Ah yes. He said - and these were his precise words - that he would MAKE YOU DANCE ON THE HEAD OF A PIN, JUST LIKE THE ANGELS OF BRADFORD IN SUMMER. It didn't mean much to me...or DID IT???

...The angels hit the beach in mufti. People however, could not help but stare. Uriel had donned rollerblades and very little else. His biker shorts did almost nothing to conceal his angelic apparatus, although his wings had at least, somehow, been made invisible. He collected quite a following as he swished up the promenade. Soon a gaggle of muscular boys crowded around him, eyes sliding flirtatiously. None of them had seen the dog. None of them had seen the flipper. None of them had seen the arm, although one boy rolled his eyes, shuffled closer and asked Uriel if he was sure it wasn’t a baby’s arm?...

mornin all. i have just been in conversation with a bengali guy. he was talking about his physio. his english is good but he told me she uses a vibrator on his backside and i had to bite my tongue.

well first he said it wasn't actually his back. it was the side of his back. his backside. also when indians say "finish" they pronounce it "penis". so she used the vibrator and he was soon penised. also i have a juvenile sense of humour and i'm bored.

Round two to Almy. Ferrchristsakes, the thread was called 'Norbert the Casualty on SBS'.

wait...almy's isn't in the unanswered q's either...did someone???

Eh? I didn't do a round 2 thread. I didn't know we'd started round 2 yet.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm being beaten hollow anyway. 2/3 - Almy's won. He needs a new challenger.

Um, I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

i am suggesting Almy's q GOT answered as its not in unanswered qs. there for he needs to post a round 2 follow up. so far col -2, almy -1.

Argh, you're right.

It's great Almy, maybe too great, as gaz said. This is proving harder than I would've predicted. I wonder if a safer stategy is to go for boring and dumbrather than arcane and specialised.

Hang on, is it vanishing from the main page that gains a point? Or is it first to get a response loses the round?

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, that's the one Trayce answered - but she doesn't count cos she's a sheepfuxor. According to my rules which I just created.

Ok we need to sort this one out - is it whoever's gets answered first or must they remain unanswered and if so for how long?

They're loving that penguin thread. Jeez Almy, what a spectacular misjudgement.

Hi Trayce!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought it was first to get answered loses [going by time stamp], and if both threads disappear it's one point each.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, almy's rules seem fair. obv the threads must be posted at approx the same time though!
