ugh that always ends badly! mongrels, spring '09

hi

(old: throw another mongrel on the fire for winter 09)

Roffling over here.

also it's good to be pun free, at least for one season

it's true, it's true

hello hello!

would have preferred "urgh" but ya know.

Is this some kind of ass/arse thing?

hi kate!

some kind of arse thing fnarr

Hi! How's life?

OMG they have to change the i love style board description to your username. A++++++

I was pretty proud of thinking up that one :)

life ain't bad. how's the career going?

that reminds me the s-dogg needs to post his band photos here

no band photos yet, but solo 'boudoir photography' session here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/15134594@N00/sets/72157622056631607/

some pretty good ones in there

My career?

Pretty hectic after a long period of being a bit lost in the wilderness. I am currently in the process of putting together the concepts for the Sun State Roller Derby calendar which is kind of fun because I got to go buy 25 kgs of jelly beans and snakes today (the theme is candy) and will probably be shooting for the Dances of Vice events next year which I'm incredibly excited about.

a dude here at work went to the roller derby the other week. you can buy a slab there!

Sun State Roller Derby

25 kgs of jelly beans and snakes

whoaaa

I have to go meet with the girls during their training on Sunday night. I get the impression some of them are a little rough around the edges, which is strange to say considering I'm no delicate rose.

xpost

I think my bf has a total bonder for roller derby chix atm :(

BONDER? err... i meant BONER.

Yeesh.

is that anything to do with the bonds underwear ad??

I think I was just channelling futurama again ;_;

http://theinfosphere.org/images/thumb/1/1f/Gypsy.jpg/225px-Gypsy.jpg

roller derby a bit less genteel and pastel-shaded than that bonds ad

thank god

I actually didnt know there was a bonds roller derby ad? (fuk this never watching TV lark)

well not strictly roller derby, but lots of girls in their pastel coloured scanties on rollerskates

i'd oil their bearings

I used to skaet, back when I was hale and hearty and not old.

i always thought it looked like enormous fun but i was too unco to do it properly! always creeping around the edge of the track at eltham roller city so there was some barrier to reach for.

4-wheel skating's not so bad cause you dont have to also deal with the balance thing of blades/ice skates. I used to skate around my garage to Visage when I was about 12, lolol.

dudes: http://lostandfoundmusiclibrary.blogspot.com/

there's some cool stuff on there, though i have pretty much all the stuff i'd be interested in. i should send em some things. shame that they never posted the arrosa album, i would have loved to hear that

Hey cool.

Did anyone go to that Crow gig recently? I meant to, I forgot about it tbh.

was nice to have Sandpit discog

shoulda asked me! i have all the discs

Speaking of, holy shit why is it I have zero Undies releases? WTF. Are they up on emusic or anything? I suddenly have a hankering to listen to Promenade and I was Rite.

not on emusic, pretty much nothing australian that ever saw overseas release will ever be. though i gather they might be going up on itunes soon. probably easier to get em 2nd hand on ebay. i was horrified to realise i sold my copy of their first album, i'm a moron.

i can hook you up w those two songs tho

hay guess what i went to the doctor earlier and he reckons no broken bonez (that he can do anything about at least) and that i should hook into the nurofen +. have had one so far, good stuff.

that blog lacks crucial GBVG cover of 'i want more', i am destined never to find this song ever again >:(

i'll keep an eye out for u

ooh nurofen plus

Codiene is yr plastic pal whos fun to be with.

hay why did nobody tell me that rowly powly's new single is out

They can't play that Bonds commercial enough.

When I'm in the kitchen and R's in the living room watching TV she always goes 'moley! It's your favourite ad!' and I go, 'When did I ever, ever, say that was my favourite ad?!' and she always just goes 'Well duuuh wots not2like for a BUOY girlzinpantiesonrollerskaets' etc.

R is damn right! Tell her to put that on yr Twitter account!

there are at least 3 different ads "focussing on" different items from the Bonds range

would watch all these hundreds of hours of raw footage

real talk

Man maybe I should be watching TV.

depends on how much you like seeing chicks in their grundies

Well who doesnt, come on!

yes that was a very stupid question

what the hell is up with the climate, it was summer an hour ago! this is ruining our post-work drinkies plans ;___;

waht are plans

I think its still warm out! Just warm and raining! =)

That thunderburst was LOUD, I thought a bomb had gone off!

we wz thinking of teh clyde beer garden

beer garden maybe not looking so enticing

cripes i haven't been to the clyde in a koala's age

last time i was there we had a competition to see who could blow the highest blood alcohol reading

lolllllllll

it's good in the summer! seems a bit dingy inside, but.

they do have pool table tho which our back-up venue (puggs on elgin) does not.

Wo ist der Clyde.. I need to find new smoke-friendly booze venues in the CBD and my hood.

clyde is notorious melb uni pube in elgin st

Oh ew. I used to hang out at that horrible beer barn across from RMIT ... what was it? The Oxford? Stench of 1st year nerdboys. No thanks.

lowdown

haha that's why we stick to the outdoor section!

any venue likely to be full of students is guaranteed to be pretty ropey

needs more sizzle

btw I am not in melb next w/end, how's that fer timing

oh well, I might put it off then

It might be better if I do that, since I actually have to move house the week after.

I think it was me just thinking out loudly because work is driving me mad and I need to escape.

a pina colada might help with that

Anyway, it's time for a new segment...THE TWO LAST PEOPLE THAT HAVE SENT ME DIRECT MESSAGES ON TWITTER:

1. Autumn Almanac
2. Chas from The Chaser (talkin' 'bout AFL, no less)

go catters

happy father's day, just in case any of you have impregnated somebody

not this week

i note my cats did not get me any fathers day presents

fair dinkum disgrace that is

is a donut classifiable as 'dinner'?

is it filled with jam & sprinkled with, er, sprinkles?

yay to the former, nay to the latter

hmmm, more like an entree in that case

I pushed the boat out and had cheap steak.

Now that the Blues are out the finals, I don't care, I'm living fancy free.

still at a loss how they dropped that lead, i mean srsly

It's fucken Carlton, that's what we've done all this decade.

mornin fuckos

what it is

Shit, so far ;_;

wappened

Arr nothing specific, I'm just a little unwell, cranky and tired, am in doghaus again for smoking indoors too much, the usual.

i'm attempting to give up the fageroonies again, will see how that goes

I shd probably think of doing so too. I'm just pissing off the guy.

dudes, fanged frogs on our doorstep

cripes!

...and a giant rat, which may turn out to be the biggest in the world

double cripes!

the main predators are giant monitor lizards while kangaroos have evolved to live in trees

looks like a bit of old pumpkin

lol @ the front of MX. "st kilda and northcote full of wankers" well SURPRISE SURPRISE

Oh, did they name anyone we know?

sadly all i could see was the headline and the large cover pic of some goth

ebay-selling mentalism of the day: promo for a Jimmy Barnes album that came out is at $52 (ending tomorrow), AC/DC promo for two tracks not available on CD otherwise is at $4.52

^ lol display name/post confluence

LOL they're filming a scene for City Homicide in the alleyway outside our office's windows. Everyone's rubbernecking out the window watching pretend detectives slam a dude up against a wall and cuff him and shove him in a copcar.

BTW I wonder if the MX goth was somoeone I knew. Scene is full of stuck up models and burlesque "dancers" these days. What ever happened to 80s grungey swamprock dudes I ask you, everyone has drawn on eyebrows and perfect hair now.

yell out something humourous at an inopportune moment

xpost she was def of the 'burlesque'/'drawn on eyebrows' crowd

both of which i don't not find appealing

is anyone NOT a 'burlesque' dancer nowadays

I know right, theyre either that or a fecking roller derby girl. Mutter.

as long as the boobs aren't drawn on amirite.

saying no to 'pasties' is a fool's pursuit

^trufax

am thinking of releasing a line of iceboxes for goths, rollderderby girls, 'alternative body shape' models etc to keep their druinks cool

can you see where i'm going with this or do i need to drop the punchline

keep their DRINKS cool

um

yeah i'm not getting it quite yet

the BURLESKY

lool

Hahahahaha oh jesus.

try the veal!

I'm trying v hard not to bust a nut laughing in the office tbh

O I didnt geddit.

Shit this week's gone fast.

<3 deerhoof for giving props to minimum chips on p4k

the band, or the quantity of chips

both worthy of being repped for imo

Depends on the shop and the chicken salt. Oh, and any pineapple fritters?

band obv but i do like chips

this wend - seeing van dyke parks!
- moving into new owned place!
- seeing some community theatre bs u__u

Pineapple fritters <3

- moving into new owned place!

house: pwned

If you're starting up a cutesy mixed-gender indie band, you really should call yourselves "Pineapple Fritters".

i am and i shall

jim how was c4rt3l synd1c4t3 practice sesh

have the got the tunes that the kids want

Wish I could pwn a house ;_;

it was fine, they were done in under two hours and sounded very british

How about that Kyle eh? Or have you already discussed this.

lol i don't think we have discussed the current magda hoo-hah.

hi moley!

he's the radio equivalent of the dude who crapped in the hotel corridor

Hi haitch, hi all!

hai moley

Heya moley how do.

hay weren't you guys supposed to be coming to melbs soon? wappened to that? xpost

austereo head dude doesn't listen to kyle and jackoff-o show. kinda shows a lack of ...respect for his own product maybe?

don't get high on your own supply

What sane person listens to Austereo?

(apart from AWESOME EIGHTIES WEEKENDS on MMM)

he probably listens to whatever the sydney equivalent of mbs is

hay weren't you guys supposed to be coming to melbs soon? wappened to that? xpost

― surfin on my face (electricsound),

Sadly it all went pear shaped. Hard for a Sydders obscure band to get a gig in Melbs!

heh it's pretty hard for obscure melbs bands too!

Yes indeed, and hard when they come to Sydders. Hard all round it is. Hence the burgeoning warehouse scene. I've even heard recently of gigs in the underground sewer systems. Imagine that. People walk over a grate see lights coming through,peer in and there's a dance party happening down there.

When I say underground sewers I probably mean simply undeground tunnels. Sewers would be a little unpleasant. On the other hand, you'd get some pretty fresh shit.

Yeah the warehouse scene seems pretty big in Syd from what R's told me, compared to Melb. Here you'll see a bit of it in the noisecore scene. And there's some cathedralesque stormdrain tunnel under.. hawthorn or somewhere? Where ppl have gigs and raves sometimes.

The breakcore scene I meant. Brain not working today.

Oi Jim can you move my stupid Genesis poll to ILM, I'm a dickhead.

sauteed

how does one run a club night, is what i wonder. keep thinking an optimo-type scenario would work well down ere - play weird records a bit quieter for first hour or so (let people chat and mingle), have band performance or two, then spin dancier stuff for rest of evening.

Friends of mine are about to start a night at the GB called Harvest thats "soul rock n roll and indie" apparently, looking fwd to that one.

i don't mean to dump on yr friends but that doesn't sound like a terribly original slant on the club nite

tho then i suppose original don't make peeps dance hey

i could count on one hand the times that i have had people dancing when i djed

You gots to play da hits brofo

actually there was that night of the 24HPP launch where i was killin' it.. i got cheers for interpol and my awesome beatmatching from lcd soundsystem to le tigre (admittedly not difficult)

^tru. I was at prob the lollest indie venue in Bris a few weeks ago, as soon as they put on a strokes track all the kiddies went shitnuts. it was pretty terrible. And i felt like such a creepy old dude there, we left v quickly.

xp

apaz this is what the kids dig

i would go shitnuts if i heard fleetwood mac at a clubb

"...and Ultravox!"

I'd love to hear that gypsy song in a club.

Re yr prev list, there are equivalent lists for rock clubs, dance clubs, retro rave events, metal, goffic, r'n'b, hip hop, funk, rockabilly etc etc etc.

There is one night where if things are flagging you play Cherry Pie and the floor fills instantly, just as it did last time and the time before that.

So I find out what this club plays and I give about 70% of it to them again, plus say 30% new stuff that's sorta like the stuff they like. This is the way things are going, we DJs have got to move with the times. We research, arrive prepared, play them their fave tunes, and then leave with our $100. IT'S THE IPOD IPHONE GENERATION. They want the hits all in a row.

'big love' arthur baker 12" mix

i don't mean to dump on yr friends but that doesn't sound like a terribly original slant on the club nite

Oh I know that, but this is people in the "goth" scene, so it makes a bloody nice change, IMO

yeah would love to hear keep on going in a cluub

http://www.believedhype.com/2008/09/fleetwood-mac-remixes.html

Not that I give .02 shits about clubs anyway.

Tiny scenes are everywhere these days. Did you know there's a 70's rock scene in Sydney populated entirely by people under 25? I blame the mother of that wolf. I'm a scene hopper. I like scenes, but I don't like to be seen in a scene, seen?

i assume all have heard this

xpost hahaha loool

Did you know there's a 70's rock scene in Sydney populated entirely by people under 25?

Is that anything like the "back in the day" club here? (which is shite)

seems like all the 60s clubs are full of the under 25ers too

(x-post) Just had a look at their playlist - yep, that's pretty much it.

Young people really suck. What is their problem with all that smooth skin and keeping their hair and shit?

Oh shit yeah, I accidentally encountered Sydney's 70s rock scene. It was ghastly!

^exhibit #1

hardlol

jim what's your position on stevie's 'stand back' in the club context. i heard the OG versh out one night at s0rry gr4ndm4 and thought it sounded amazing. so many ppl have ripped off the synth line tho.

piss orf jim!!!!!

You won't be surprised to know about my involvement in the burgeoning 80s synthpop scene.

I'm going to call myself DJ HardLOL

were you the watermelon from that severed heads tv spot?

xpost

jim what's your position on stevie's 'stand back' in the club context.

hmmm welp i think it could be awesome but i would have to experience same, preferably biscuited to the eyeballs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FbxjSK7zkQ

felix-ified version. would go ORF i'm thinking

For the rock clubs I call myself '@ndy @rseC@ndy'. The story behind that name is that one of the promoters was talking to the other. She said 'What's Andy's DJ name?' and the other one said 'Ask Andy'. Then the first one goes '@rseC@ndy'? and puts that name on the flyer.

hahaha great story

(x-x-post) hmm yes agreed stormer

felix-ified version. would go ORF i'm thinking

quite banging

It's not intelligent and it's not from Detroit but it's fackin avin' it

detroit can eat a fuc

lolll i say this wearing the 'juan & kevin & jeff & derrick' t-shirt

Speaking of 80s synthpop tunes me and R were going to do some covers of some, inna psych/shoegaze stylee, for shits n gigs.

Any suggestions? He wants to do some obscure A-Ha song. Me, I thought something like Visage or Spandau Ballet could be lol.

Fade To Grey was made to shoegaze, as was Mind Of A Toy or even Damned Don't Cry.

'head over heels' is 'A MUST!', as they say

Yeah it was Damned dont Cry I had in mind. I can totally hear that with swooshy walls o' noise.

Also on my list: Kim Wilde "View from a Bridge" and Duran's "Chauffer", but R said the latter's too obvious and I think he's right.

xpost funny you say that haitch! One we are def doing is "Shout".

If our karaoke versh was anything to go by, we're ON A WINNAR.

lolllll

i have retired my karaoke take on 'purple rain'. you do a couple of good performances and people start expecting too much!!

How about Tubeway Army /Gary Numan - there's 'Every Day I Die', 'Tracks', 'Me I Disconnect From You' - all potential shoegazer material.

Hmmmm, Gazza I didnt think of - tops! Maybe an oldschool Simple Minds song could work too. "I Travel", or "Someone Somewhere in Summertime".

nu gold dream would be quite shimmery

Speaking of Ultravox, this one is a corker if you're looking for something to play to bored fashion chicks at electro clubs - The Thin Wall:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYGx00779f8

Weird how John Foxx leaves then Ultravox start sounding more like John Foxx than he does.

I love that song!

water way to make a joke.

indeed, i don't get why anyone would to be frank

Or to be fred.

der fred

^would be interested in etymology of this phrase btw

Me too.

There is this -

http://wordie.org/words/fred

So can anyone be arsed going to see Pixies? Theyre playing at Festy Hall, ugh.

there's a thread on ILTRMB on the cyclist definition of 'fred'!

they were good last time out if you missed 'em trayce. still, festering hall, lol.

presale's $120 and regular is like 80 or 90 bucks... wtf.

my interest in the pixies has been much the same since 1993ish, i.e. nil

i like that song about the very hung fellow though

i have survived thus far without actually buying any of their records, so i am nowhere near hardcore

was a good show tho

I loved em when they first appeared in 87 or whenever it was Come on Pilgrim came out. I remember thinkning they were ripping of the Femmes. If they had toured in the early 90s I would have sold my left tit to see them, but now... eh.

were they really that titillating

rather an odd headline this one

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26058179-401,00.html

Considering the source I thikn thats quite a normal headline for them.

I got into a discussion with a workmate the other day, when someone else had said "well at least it isnt the herald sun" and she was all "why, whats the matter with the herald sun? I read it, its good!".

Oh and my boss said "wow yo must be quite smart!" because I'd said I read the Age, the Guardian and the NYT on occasion. o_0 Sheltered workshop peeps.

hi guys.
tomorrow is my last day at work. i'll be there soon.
do weekdays work for faps?

i have been known to drink beer on a school night

As have I, and it will be good to meet another furrin ILXor! I'd completely forgotten you were on yr way over, jergs. When you get to Melb?

May I recommend we go to Tyranny of Distance in Windsor, it is rly gud.

/southsieed bias

I have been known to drink nail polish remover on a school night.

Sorry, I meant "gin".

lol

you seem like a pink gin sort of fellow

in the interest of fairness my vote is for a cbd location

Yer thats fair. I'm just v enamoured with that venue at the mo - they do an amazing array of cheap foods (their breaky baked eggs and chorizo is oarsome) and you can smoke.

i can't ;_;

LOL i know, lets go to Madame Brussels and drink pimms =)

xpost did u give up again?

Even Nick's given up now, I feel like a weirdo

i must say no fags makes hangovers and lack of sleep x10000 more pleasant to deal with

i doubt it will be the last time but it's probably good to give my body a chance to recover anyway

Yeah I know I would feel a billion better if I stopped, at least for a while but ... I just dont wanna :/

I've never smoked. Am I missing out??

yes. commence immediately. you will be drowning in poon before you finish the first one

my bar suggestions

hell skitchen

any other thoughts guize?

Those places are so tiny and crammed though :(

I wd pref somewhere I can have a durry but yknow whatever.

What about upstairs @ bimbos

i don't imagine they'll be terribly crammed on a tues nite! also you can smoke inside in both

You... wait, WHAT?

trufax

with hells sadly it is only in the corridor but HB has that whole front area!

It does? Man, wtf have I been missing all this time, I tought HB was just a little narrow room a la Spleen?

Ive been going to Lounge because I didnt know anywhere else I could pong on. And Im not a fan of hells tbh - sitting on a cramped staircase surrounded by bins and hipsters isnt my idea of comfy or fun :/

I apologise for never attending any FAPs. For many reasons not unconnected to being a single parent, failed musician and full time employee I hardly have any time or money these days so I stay at home any chance I get. But this may change. Life is change.

hooray!

i know how you feel, save for the single parent bit

I'm just a hermit, I dont have any excuse rly :(

ur not failed

is syd only the 24th or 24th-28th?

24th and then back again around the 6th of october for a few days

hells and horsey both good options, i feel

heh heh, "feel"

I am good for either proposed Sydney date, I shall let kit make the judgement call on that.

Let's see if we can pull something together for the 24th, then we've got a backup option if it all goes Melbournian

moley are you down for this? I will investigate availability of ILX-refugees, who might not be so cool for a thurs eve. If all else fails Pato can take jergins for a burgerdate and get two straws in a malt shake.

I don't quite get this innuendo but I'll roll with it.

No, in YOU end-o!

haha great, looking forward to meeting any and all

Sorry, can't FAP yet again. Hospital stuff going down for the next 2-3 weeks (nothing too serious, just foot surgery for my lady).

jergs: aha, ok! Why did I think NZ, guh. Hey that'll be the second seattler here! Are you gonna end up in a pram in the gutter like donut bitch did ;P

that wz me,,,,in the gutter

Yeah it was you but it was brian as well wasnt it? I'd have to dig up the photos to be sure.

(trayce i think you thought NZ cuz i've met estela?)

yeah! i was thinking of going to that, but was a little wary about door policy. i mean, i can dress up, make myself presentable, show up with women. i just don't want the humiliation of being turned away. anything to worry about? i figure if there are advance tickets for sale it's gotta be okay, right?

haha donut. i can hold my liquor a *bit* better i think

pretty sure if you pre-buy and look halfway presentable yr a sure thing!

OTOH when they don't pre-sell (eg: trus'me + jacques renault earlier this year) and u have to be on the list, frustration likely

i waited in that line for 40 fucken minutes!!

ayyyiii
haitch you going to go to erol?

And are any of youse going to Lighning bolt? This may have been raised orredy and I wasnt paying attention.

i reckon i might. i better get to grabbing tix since i snoozed and losed for parklife proper!

xp when dey playing

November sometime. At some place called Thornbuty Theatre in high st (nfi)... with Grey Daturas and... some other noisy mob.

thornbury. I cant type.

thx trayce!

hmm not rly a lightning bolt fan. also for some reason i mix them up with black mountain

ideally, a black mountain would have a lot of lightning bolts hitting it

erol tix booked btw, that was painless!

this is good point xpost

pour one out for a leyland brother, yo

Aw heck, thats no good :(

Mr Alsop’s wife Tara today spoke in defence of her husband’s teammates, who reportedly continued drinking after his death.

Asked if she thought the behaviour inappropriate, she answered: "No not at all, they won a premiership".

Stay classy, footyheads. Stay classy.

omg, terrible guilty lolllllll

I mean wtf? If a fight breaks out in which someone's knocked on the head and DIES, dont you think that might put a LITTLE BIT OF A BUMMER on the partying?

^ poof

R's new band that he's in have "cancelled" his last 2 rehearsal sesh. Last week it just "wasnt on", this week "oh we're trying out a bass player too and dont want it to get too confusing"

Is it just me or are they acting like pass-agg girlfriend trying to dump boy y/n

y

I have deviated from my diet of the last week (chicken soup and toast w/vegemite, lucozade) and eaten an apple. Will have to stay in and monitor bowel situation, but have homework, new Nurse With Wound 3CD box and footy as company.

http://www.highstreetnorthcote.com.au/highvibes2009

hmm i'd totes be up for checkin the pebbs. coupla ok things at wesley too. what's your plan

basically thought i'd wander up and see what's what - have a feeling some work friends are gonna be there ...somewhere - pebbs would be good tho i reckon.

welp there's a dece chance you can count me in, maybe drop us a texty when you're on the way

perhaps i should get "festive"

orrite

xp lol

R is prolly going to the high st fest. Dont think I'll be coming with: my health's shot to shit from a few too many weeks of non stop overindulgence and I need a srs break for a while so I'm powering down.

hey haitch, erol tix bought

hmm apparently i'm the first person on last.fm to listen to "slice two"

working today. Though I think that compares pretty favourably to the High Street Festival.

lolll it must be said u were rite

hi-five jergs, it's gonna be good

So have we bedded down the when/where of FAP for Melb? Is it this week?

nah next!

can i just say, having eated there at lunch yesterday the cafe joint below hells is a fine place to chow down. order one 'DIRTY RON' bagel and u all will see.

Foodstuffs titled 'Dirty' are always a winner.

From sevcom.com: January 2009 is the 30th anniversary of our public debut. We're planning a special something, but I am not yet allowed to provide details.

!!! Is it a tuesday we're fapping?

he makes it sound like some sort of art installation

mmm baby dirty burgers

Sydney, Thursday, drinks? my sister said she'd come so there won't be any awkward silences because she won't stfu. 8 pm? name wherever is easy for you all and i'll findit.

hey S, melbourne next tuesday, a week from tomorrow. glad you wanna come!

my sister said she'd come so there won't be any awkward silences because she won't stfu

Hahahah :D

Also can we make it at Horse Baz? I'm not sure I feel like being drowned in hipsters at Hell's.

if we drink at hells on the regular, does that make us... hipsters?

that'll be the day

i think we're not thin enuff

like, we hardly fatteys but have u seen some of those arseless children these days??

S'wat I'm sayin, you know? I'm too old and fat and uncool.

i used to be thin, then i discovered beer

That should have been the mongrels thread title.

save it for summer

good eye, deer.

which we'll ditch in the autumn because it's our summer thread

We'll have hair, and bare feet.

and summery friends who like to go outside (clearly nobody on this thread)

i suspect wilter has a summery streak.

Does he have Dave's Syndrome?

http://moblog.net/media/c/r/i/crickson/daves-syndrome.jpg

Hahaha awesome jpg

Trying to work out who can make it on Thurs before naming a place – gaz has a pal in town he might be already fapping all over with, edwardo is actually doing real work on Thursdays from dis week. If all else fails, no doubt we’ll resort to the Clare. Jergins are you staying in any particular area or free at any particular time?

edwardo is actually doing real work on Thursdays from dis week

I lol'ed.

I'm still up for Thurs, and yes, The Clare is always good as our standby option.

hey mongs, are you excited about meeting jergins? do be. i met him in seattle earlier this year. he and my darling lxy picked me and f. up from the airport. we didn't give each other any clues about what we looked like, we decided to see if we would recognise each other anyway, which we did. then the next day we met lingbert. i talked and talked and talked, i was worse than jergins' sister could ever be. afterwards i had severe talker's remorse. anyway, have fun.

i'd v much like to meet mr jergins. i'm not sure yet if i can make it on thurs tho...let me know where u guyz go, hopefully i'll be able to come along.

option on tuesday for cheap-ish sushi train here: http://www.tomodachi.com.au/

Checking it out tomorrow...

^ another good point, will jerginsfam want to eat food at any point, or simply dine on jugs of beer?

Tomodachi is awesome btw been there heaps.

But for great varied japanese you cant go past izakaya chuji in russel... or lonsdale.. somewhere there.

how about that WAGYU place matt preston was repping for in the paper the other week

WAGYU!!

i had some little wagyu bunlets the other day

v tasty, but they had blue cheese on them which spoiled it imo

i then smeared by body with caviar while washing my hair in champagne

some of that didn't happen

should hope so, bleu cheese is ridiculous

food would be great, though if co-ordinating drinks is easier that'll work just fine. the clare? sounds great. we are staying in king's cross and we're pretty much available. you guys are the ones with jobs and responsibilities so whatever works best for you all.

i will recognize pato i bet. i also have no problem yelling out "WHERE THE HELL IS PHIL". no problem.

sushi's great (no veg), estela's a dear (obv), off to LAX (yea)

<3 happy travels

cya soon jergo!

welp, vivian grils tix still avail, you want i should get u one h man? is an s-dogg interested?

fuk no

lool

yes secure one, i want to observe all this indie chix musical ensemble

sorted

this is wednesday week (30th) btw

good-o. busy week!

indeed. i'm booked solid sunday thru saturday

is it a faux pas to tell someone you barely know that their puppy looks like dot cotton from eastenders.

*google image searches* omg yeah it kinda would be

possibly not one of my better flights of fancy.

at least it wasn't their daughter (or son for that matter)

lol correct

Now that I would encourage!

I've always wanted to say "good GOD your child is ugly" to someone just to see what reaction I'd get. But I have a warped brain. And I wouldnt do it, really.

what an exhausting day

how is mong

exhausted. now i gotta go try on a BROWN SUIT that i'm wearing as a groomsman at a wedding on Sat

a brown suit makes a particular statement

http://www.drudgereport.com/siren.gif BROWN SUIT http://www.drudgereport.com/siren.gif

better than wearing brown suet, it must be said

been a bit of a boring day round ere

know the feeling

looking forward to having beer

Hey, is there a Sydney FAP tomorrow night if the world hasn't ended? THX IN ADVANCE

aw shit i dunno if i can make the 29th fap, i gotta go to court the next morning (!)

poor jergs

Everything ok Sash? :/

i am here! finally. gaaah. my sister and i will be at the Clare at 8 pm. if no one can come that's okay, we will get drunk all by ourselves (no tuomas sadfaces w/us). we're good at getting drunk. otherwise see you then and there!

and we'll be back around the 6th so don't sweat it mongs.

welcome to dustralia

<3

Hai Jergs you sure picked a good time to land in sydney hahaha =)

HEY JERGS - I finish work in the city around 5.30-6.00pm so let me know if you and yr sis want to eat koala tacos or chill or whateves before we go to La Clare!! This is of course if you read dis msg.

yeah, drinks 5.30-6ish and food later is good for me. ed's free 7.30ish. gaz might come if we are at the clare, the slack cunt can never be bothered going any further out of his way than that (ie one block)

i'd go if i was in sydney.

I'd go home if I was in sydney.

i'd smack you if i was in melbourne.

i'd shoot smack if i was in melbourne

hey wait

you guys are freaking me out with all your plagues of locusts and fish and mice and (what in holy heaven are) huntsmen of spring, but i have my ticket so i'm coming anyway. please will you do me the favor of sweeping up the bashed on the head vermin before i arrive? i'm okay with the dust, though, so don't worry about that. thank you so much.

so yeah hi it's me, lxy. you probably don't know me. i am a jergins-associate and seldom-poster. please see estela for my credentials.

i'm going to be in your locale(s) next week. going to erol alkan, don't know what else is on the docket.

mmm, maybe my introduction bit should be on the other thread. oh well. if sydney is cracking up contingency rules must be in place, right? this is sort of like the fallout shelter?

― lxy, Thursday, September 24, 2009 1:12 PM (8 minutes ago) Bookmark

lxy is top notch and <3<3<3

thank you, lovely. <3 you.

i wonder how many jaffas you'll eat while you're in australia.

i'd smack you if i was in melbourne.

:D

xp: how many are there?

billions, so you'd better get cracking immediately. luckily there is a darrell lea at sydney airport.

if you're going to be in melbourne maybe you can proxy smack trayce for me.

i'm sure there would be no shortage of volunteers

i've already decided that if i ever meet kbp i'm going to smack him upside the head mrs shrager style.

I bet that's what you said to that fish.

estela, despite the fact that you've provided me with the most important piece of information i could possibly need re. jaffas at the airport, i'm afraid you'll have to do your own smacking.

fair enough.

kbp, i never mentioned you to the fish, it was a long time ago before you were born.

jaffas are amazing. i would happily devour an entire... are they still putting them in boxes or are they back to bags again??

looks like bags in aus and boxes in nz?

Hey, that's how he took it in fish language (xp).

Oi, watch it Jim. I know where you... wait, no I dont.

loool

And anyway it sounds rather like estela would enjoy this smacking, is this because our wedding plans came to naught?

woman spurned, u feel me

i sabotaged myself by refusing to have the wedding in trayce's backyard.

Well I dont have one, so I can't blame you really... *looks folornly at bottle of Pimms*.

lxy if you can bung on some mobile number for jergins pls do, this waiting around for two and a half hours caper would be good to avoid if he is not actually busy!

we're only in contact by email, sorry!

Well, he better stop enjoying this nice sunny day and find himself a dark, dank internet cafe!

i can't make it tonight :(

if ppl are up for another fap when jergins & crew are back in town, that'd be cool. have fun!

sic and pato we cqn be wherever within an hour. no mobile yet so post in this thread andwe'll be there.

swoite, gaz is out so let's bar the Clare (mebbe try again on 6th) - instead look at boats and drink microbrews at the James Squire joint at Cockle Bay, past the aquarium. I'll be there before 6, I assume pato can walk down semi-direct from the CBD and be there similarly? SO MOTE IT BE.

OK I CAN DO THAT AND GET THERE ROUND SIX-ISH

good luck sydney

so can i, a bit after six

guys, i am about to meet esteban buttez

things will never be the same

remember the famous story about Einstein meeting Marilyn Monroe? this is like that, only WAY WAY WAY BIGGER AND MORE IMPORTANT

only much more disappointing

???

that's for later when it's time to write your reports.

remember the famous story about Einstein meeting Marilyn Monroe? this is like that,

not sure who was Einstein and who was Marilyn, but neither of them offered to sleep with the other out of intellectual admiration

although tbf I left 'em half a block before town hall, who knows what might have transpired away from my watchful eye, and be startling the previously undebased Cross right now

but neither of them offered to sleep with the other out of intellectual admiration

I disagree with the last two words of your statement.

lolololol

while we dorks are in front of our computers my sister is out braving the hookers of the cross (and they are out in force this evening) in her hooker heels to get takeaway butter chicken

Relax, she's got a gun.

while we dorks are in front of our computers

speak for yourself, I was on my phone still waiting for a bus
though I do admit I didn’t have hooker heels

ahh the arse end of another glorious week
