yes yes yes it's our autumn almanac (and all the other mongrels)

welcome to the autumn 2009 mongrels thread

old one here: Mong Hot Summer

has everyone seen the s dogg teapot yet

Does anyone want to buy a fucking hideous teapot?

good god.

what's the haps. i hibernated for most of the long weekend. except for dropping by a work friend's wedding, and buying a dvd player. nice to not shred through loads of cash while out, for a change.

i mixed my backside off. in other news the SP record is all but finished

speaking of shredding cash, tell us more about the L2L finale party you're planning

YSI

haha. when is the last episode? i need to establish that date 4 sure.

think there's usually 3 ladettes left by the last ep... how many still in the game at this point?

four this week

speaking of which, what's' with the second suggestion here

http://www.tugboatonline.com/ilxstuff/hmmmm.jpg

couldn't track down the finale date anywhere

is nothing sacred, i ask you (xp)

had me worried for a second there

I hope you guys are proud to be hosting the magnificent spectacle that is the ICC Women's World Cup btw

Its cricket, so, no?

(sorry couldnt help myself)

I had a really hibernatingy weekend too - I feel like Ive been off-planet for like, 2 weeks for some reason :/ Did a load of gardening and now I'm sore all over.

extreme gardening

Extreme Bunnings attack on my wallet thats for sure.

did u get the sausage in bread at bunnings

^ not a euphemism

Nah I didnt but omg the whole place smelled like BBQ sausages it was torture ;_;

This is an new bunningz in Hawthorn too which is deadly cos now I have one near(ish) by to lose all my $$ in.

you're putting their kids thru college

is this some bullshit pacific brands viral marketing?

Hahahah yes I had exactly the same reaction and I dont even need to read the article. I mean wtf, they BOTH went "blah blah hero in bonds undies"/

Timing coincidence, much?

Mind you, a roo smashing thru a window in an area like Garran = not at all a suprise rly.

and I dont even need to read the article.

Er by which I meant "I know the one you mean without clicking"

they should hire kung-fu panda to defend the house

Hawthorn Bunningz elevates the hardware shopping experience to a whole new level...

There's this whole upstairs bit I didnt even go into that I think had kitchens and bathrooms and lights and stuff. Even more deadly - I'm glad I dont own a home/can afford renos or I'd be a slave to Bunnings/Ikea/Tradelink.

...this is why I play the Sims instead.

think there's usually 3 ladettes left by the last ep... how many still in the game at this point?

my bf's niece is in it. i think she came third.

which one is she?

her name is kristyn. i've only met her once. she seems nice, if massively naive. i haven't been watching the show but i can't help but feel really sorry for her.

It's total Pygmalion stuff, but very contrived. 'Alright ladies, we're going to leave you in this room with ten bottles of champagne for two hours, then the horrified mentors are going to come in and see what happened. We, the film crew, will advise them of the precise moment to arrive.'

a miss in this stays mainly on the piss.

Ha!

Sharon Jones (at dinner): I can take on three men and a crate of fuckin booze at once, no worries!
Lord Beaverbrooke-Ross: Can you really? Snaw haw haw!

I mean it quickly loses its appeal.

I also can't help what's missing from this show is a touch of what the French call the English vice. It seems to be constatntly heading in that direction but never quite gets there.

there is plenty of english dental vice, the horrified mentors' teeth look like stalks.

thread title = edwyn collins ref?

Its weird not watching TV at all, everyone keeps talking about shit I got no idea about :/

you're not really missing much of great importance, knahmean

anyway our meticulous liveblogging tells you all you need know

i have finally invested in a new DVD player so that i can watch all these shows that everyone else is pirating. there's really not much on free-to-air that flips my wig at the moment.

stuff i do watch on the reg:

- LtoL
- dexter (of which ten are shifting the timeslot again this week, which is good because it's been clashing with)
- boston legal / 30 rock on monday nights
- i tend to get suckered into law and order if it's on

I watch FotC on the torrentz, and obv Simpsons but keeping up with nu-simpsons is seeming less urgent by the minute, I end up throwing shoes at the Teev and shouting a lot.

BTW as per me email a while back: moi bday, u kno u want to be thar, this fridee @ lounge from 5.30 I got a balc tables.

i pvr the usuals - southpark, simpsons, whatever newish UK comedies are on (boosh, spaced etc) and biggest loser (loool). never really watch anything when it's actually on, save for the occasional letterman when i'm putting off going to bed

yair might try and make it along friday.. will see if the s dogg is up for it 2

I rly must get a better PVR, my one's got such a shite GUI thats the main reason I dont watch TV (without the digital signal TV is pretty bad and the audio dont work cos its all hooked into my amp).

xpost whoresome :)

i am usually in/around the city at that time on a friday, should be able to swing by!

also: have a mix

Seeing the Motherfuckin' Symphony Orchestra on Fridee, so maybe after 10...

that's not a gig, that's "mp3-jaying"!!

Yeah, it was kind of a deliberate screw-you, I think heh.

In other news its not every day yr boss sends an email around imploring everyone "please stay home if you're sick". God bless the flu scare.

spitfap tomorrow?

classy!

Hoping to make it - R has a gig tonite at the Enzyme do at Blue Velv, so hopefully I wont be too tired tomoz after that and the usual weekend housework bullshit.

Ah, got a link from a uni friend to that. Unfort. I have to make an album by Monday and Saturday is 100% watching football/SFP show, so no going out tonight.

cripes

started working on solo stuff last night. JHC my chops are rusty as a drambuie with scotch

Can I has yr solo name for flyer?

widowspeak

hi dudes

well well well

;_;

er, do you remember saturday night? i don't

seem to recall the three of us air-guitaring to husker du

then i kicked both of you out

hahahahaha

i literally can recall about 10% of what happened between the end of the SP set and waking up the next day in extreme pain

i also recall:

*dancing to ODB 'got your money' while narrowly avoiding pile of sick on dancefloor, so gross
*"SP need to record in a bigger room and they'll go top 5"

well that formatting attempt didn't work!

also also recall getting cockblocked by s-dogg, what was up with that???

loool

i don't think i was responsible for dancefloor sick

no u were still conscious at that point

"conscious"

You kids, tch.

so, sydney FAP for the scattered order/dead travel fast gig on jul 26??

taels of a sydFAPhors

escape via newtown

was there any word on how good/bad the prim calcs reunion shows were?

s-dogg saw one, i saw the last song they did at their applecore set, it sounded basically like the live stuff on disc

i sorta can't imagine 'taels of a seaghors' being peformed live, i am somewhat curious about this show i must say

i'm pretty interested, the DTF stuff holds up really well still, i gather back in the day they had acupuncture in carnegie levels of membership, so that probably helped

so, sydney FAP for the scattered order/dead travel fast gig on jul 26??

yeah FOR SURE!!!1!

PrimCalcs were okay, but I kind of feel I don't ever need to see them again.

Also how early do we have to put on a show before Trayce won't pike? Jeez.

i found out last night that kramer (of galaxie 500 production fame) is in town and i was too sick to go out ;_;

waht bring him to these shores

lots of work with aussie bands apparently.. he was making all sorts of myspace offers there for a while.

specifically on this occasion, catnip

Hey you didnt come to Rob's show, Sash! ;P And I did say I might not make it cause i'd had a lot on already. I actually fell asleep :/ Sorry.

We rly were going to go :/

u missed our pearls of wisdom

one might say it was a collective pearl necklace of wisdom

wisdom bukkake

Yeah that really encourages me to never pike again, good work guiz!

i was talking about jewellery!!!

family jewellery
