the australia-new zealand connection: the lovers, the dreamers, and ned

Six green bottles hanging on the wall...

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:48 (twenty years ago)

Then I came along and drank from them all.

Or not.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:50 (twenty years ago)

Argh, couldn't find a place for you in the title. Unless you're shrinking. Are you shrinking?

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago)

Not necessarily?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:55 (twenty years ago)

*grumble*

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago)

Then you are not eligible for inclusion in a thread title regarding shrinkage. I HAVE LITTLE TIME OR PANTS FOR DISCUSSIONS OF THIS NATURE.

where pants = patience

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:58 (twenty years ago)

Mike, I feel yer angst. (But not that way.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 00:59 (twenty years ago)

I'd loudly declare something along the lines of 'DEATH TO ((CERTAIN ILXORS))! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!', but I don't want to raise more of a storm than there is currently.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:00 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand the current storm, and I'm too scared to get involved. Sounds bad though. Kate's cool.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, well, just fear the acronym ESOJ.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:03 (twenty years ago)

Actually, it just seems that every problem that everyone on this board has had with anybody ever has been acted upon under the cover of Jon Williams and his huge ass pictures. There's a new board been formed, some ILXOR's have gone bugfuck fighting fire with fire and other ILXOR's have been having little breakdowns.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Eeek, one of my pooh sticks got answered by someone who knows what the topic means. I don't. Uh oh.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:07 (twenty years ago)

this is fucked

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:08 (twenty years ago)

It's been rough, Mikey. I will, however, counsel patience.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:09 (twenty years ago)

{SEAN BEAN}

Give me the ring and together we can defeat the Enemy!

{/SEAN BEAN}

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Well, if I wasn't so glum, I'd do a victory lap right now.

I think we should assume that the situation between two people we all like very much is entirely their business, and though we don't like it, we can be patient, as Ned says, and in the meantime grant them their privacy.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Very wisely observed, Mr. Mole.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago)

What do you do when you're supposed to find something urgently because millions of dollars per hour is at stake, but you can't find it, and you can't find a way of finding it?

Assuming I care of course, which I don't.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:16 (twenty years ago)

Ask us. Wot you looking for?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Some shit in a massive fuck-off database that doesn't work properly.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:17 (twenty years ago)

start a poohstick. its a win-win situation!

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:18 (twenty years ago)

hahaha yes. I mean, we're tied aren't we? This is the final round!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'm just tired of Internet tantrums. Why can't these people get drunk and get into a fight like normal people instead of splurging their insanity across the bandwidth?

It used to be that people would be all, 'Hey, things are rotten with my life in this area', finish up at the Cotton Mill then drink a fuck'pennies worth of Gin and fight the biggest sailor they could find down by the docks. Your problems seemed that much more insignificant when you were digging broken teeth out of your jaw on a ship bound for the Cape of Good Hope.

I'm kidding, but only just.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago)

There's one guy I know in person who hates me in real life, as a result of an internet argument about fish or something. I still don't know what that was all about.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps you didn't know your plaice.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:28 (twenty years ago)

Dude, you wanna see some crazyfuck internet arguments, you go to Livejournal, specifically LJ Drama.

As a gesture of goodwill to all my Australian homies on this wintry Thursday afternoon, have some drum and bass.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:29 (twenty years ago)

Also, I think that this thread is at is pike. If you don't think so, you have no sole. I don't want to carp on about it.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:30 (twenty years ago)

Hey, it's hardly my fault if he's breaming over with belligerence.

Drum & bass rocks my world.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:31 (twenty years ago)

There's no need to be a snapper - do you hake fun?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:32 (twenty years ago)

Nah, I'm just pissed because I can't find my guitar tuna, I'm no Flake. Do you want to to put this down in Whiting?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

You're all just doing this for the halibut.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

Goscinny & Uderzo to thread!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:36 (twenty years ago)

These Australians are crazy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago)

I can't think of any more fish names. Yes I'm floundering.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

It's not very ex sardine.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:41 (twenty years ago)

Well at least Col's having a whale of a time.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:45 (twenty years ago)

and the poipose of all this?

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:49 (twenty years ago)

Quiet, shrimp.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:55 (twenty years ago)

The porpoise of this is to smelt out our soles, and thereby get closer to Cod.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago)

Jesus Gaz. It's faux naif rhetoric like yours that makes me crabby.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago)

Nonsense, gaz's contribution is quite whelkome.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 02:00 (twenty years ago)

Oh like you're not toadying to Gaz or anything.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 02:02 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I parrot everything he says - I'm a weak-ling.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 1 July 2004 02:04 (twenty years ago)

Parrot's not a water animal. Go back to school.

― The Ghost at Number Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 1 July 2004 02:06 (twenty years ago)

Hey yeah, you're right! And the sun isn't either - not to mention the cucumber, the dog, the cat or the snake.

Bah, you don't have the mussels.

I scared everyone off with my Rutles songs :(

― Chreiysy (trayce), Friday, 6 August 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago)

You did not scare me off, and indeed, you have further ascended in my esteem as a Cool Good Person of Reknown. :-D

― purple patch (electricsound), Friday, 6 August 2004 04:45 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, sort of. I just don't know with that site. I don't quite have a feel for it or something, but mostly I don't get the kind of answers I'm looking for over there...

That would be my first play. But it seems we are all alone, gem.

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 6 August 2004 09:44 (twenty years ago)

He's OK? Cut lips and mouths can be deceptive - lots of blood, quick healing time.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 6 August 2004 22:00 (twenty years ago)

yeah he's ok. just some steri strips to hold it together, no stitches needed. unfortunately his nose is running all over the wound, which we've covered with some plastic skin.

― gaz (gaz), Saturday, 7 August 2004 04:41 (twenty years ago)
