The Thread about Nothing....



Surprising that everyone had missed him. Maybe we thought he was already dead.

I see a few predictions from the 2014 list have eventually come good.
 
The dead pool. Being offensive since 2010.

I still reckon we are gonna clean up a few more famous old farts and terminally ill celebrities by the end of the year.

Buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy of this book. Cracking read. It's a true story about a tiger that gets massively ****** off with cnuts and goes on the rampage in the Russian far east, near the north Korean and Chinese border regions. Then tough cnuts have to go in to the freezing wilderness to hunt him. The question is, who's hunting who?

The tension is unbearable and tigers are ****ING BIG CLEVER TOUGH SCARY STRIPY BASTARDS. It's sort of a cross between Death Hunt, Predator, Alien, Apocalypto, Jaws and the Tigger movie. OK, maybe not the last one. Also, it's true. I can give this book no higher praise than the comparisons I've made.
 
There's a lot to be said for sticking to your Dead Pool picks.
True - According to NASA research, if you keep a name long enough, one day you are likely to be right, and will then be able to flaunt your superior knowledge without fear of derision.
 
I'm not sure I focussed on the important bit there.

Socialist.
Democrat.

Not unlimited capitalism. Not moronic despotism. Not hierarchical militaristic colonialism.

Proper, for the better of all of us, democratic and uplifting choice. Well done France.
 
It's tricky to wind down when you've worked until after 11 pm, but port helps. And screaming. And Emo Phillips.

"Hawkins had originally intended to record "I Put a Spell on You" as "a refined love song, a blues ballad". However, the producer "brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version ... I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death." "

Besides which, Gareth makes me hard. His work with The Drones always blo me away, but for stripped back simplicity and emotion, how about RockWiz?

Nice postage Ross. I mean I love Timmy. I think he's a national hero. And yet he's hard to Youtube.
I saw him a week or so ago at a ****ing church in Newtown, of all places, with a friend who got all uppity because it was too ****ing gentle for her rockbitch brain, in the moment. But I ****ing loved it. A proper scarred voice, and a couple of gentlewomen on keyboards and violin. It was just right for me. Soft, wonderful, and no. Not cabaret at all.

Also Woolloomooloo. Spell it right moron. It was a book about the suburb, over 200 plus years, but also a book about the regulars at the Old Fitzroy, of which I am one. I'm glad I'm not such a drunk that I got a mention, but also a bit disappointed. had a chat to the author this evening saying I was a bit surprised he didn't have a more hopeful ending, but I forgot my point while we were chatting, and then he left. Oh well.

Also, I don't really want to break my father's ****ing nose. I mean I do think he's a cnut, and I wish I could get along with him better, but I should probably start censoring myself and maybe even deal with reality, and just let the ****ers be like they want me to. Obviously when I'm in a good mood that's easy, but when I'm not I get phone calls from hell like last time.
Hmmm. Maybe I should start censoring myself?
