Hello. Good evening all, mind if I join in...?

Does that mean you risk losing your job, Stoatie? If so, sorry to hear it.

23:16 / 09.10.05

It might do. I don't know... we haven't been told anything. To be honest, my job's probably safe, but a fair few other people's may not be. Which still sucks ass.

23:21 / 09.10.05

Yes, ass-suck it does indeed. Well, keep us posted...

BTW, I dreamt I met you the other night. I think you were nice to me...

23:21 / 09.10.05

it's not like we weren't going to find out, what with our jobs consisting of reading the fucking newspapers.

It's stuff like this that tell me someone, somewhere has a sense of humour. Good thing it's you really, Stoatie.

How's everyone doing tonight (apart from the above)?

23:28 / 09.10.05

I'm in that post-pub and semi-stimulantized kinda tired-but-don't-have-to-get-up-too-early, "Hmm, what shall I do" kinda mood, hence I thought I'd crash the lateshift. Saw the Wallace & Gromit film, which is, like, teh huggles on a big screen... So, um, I'm good.

I probably would have been nice to you. I usually am. Or drunk and irritating. One or the other.

23:36 / 09.10.05

I think you were drunk. Dunno, I just remember a big dream-camera zoom-in onto a table at some party or club or something and then you turned around and sorta smiled and looked cool/aloof (all I have to go on is the PICS thread...) and then I think I woke up. I wasn't sweating or anything, though...

I'm considering mocking up an auction ad for our company and putting it on eBay for a laugh. Something tells me I might get my balls cut off for that, though.

I only just noticed that there are kangaroos in this lateshift.

00:26 / 10.10.05

Not enough, though. Not by a long way.

The Return Of Rothkoid

00:29 / 10.10.05

NEVER enough.

00:33 / 10.10.05

Hello all you fab and marvellous people!!

00:40 / 10.10.05

Hello! However, this here kangaroo's hopping off to bed (a sudden case of brain-rot and general zonked-outness). Y'all have fun now...

00:43 / 10.10.05

g'night Mike/M**m

Howdy, Folks.

Hi Pooky! How's things on this cool thanksgiving long weekend?

Pooky Is Just My Pornstar Name

01:53 / 10.10.05

Keg!

I'm okay, having just got back from my vacation in Vancouver. I am now considerably poorer

. I'm also kinda pissed at my friend in Van. It's a long story and I'm considering starting a thread about it. Anyway, enough about me. How are you?

02:04 / 10.10.05

Im doing alright. Just got back from thanksgiving diner at a friends house.. Im filled to the gills with turkey and candied yams and various other holliday staples.
Besides that all is good. My house smells like a brewery once again (pear wine) and I should be starting to make sake soon.

Pooky Is Just My Pornstar Name

02:12 / 10.10.05

Mmm...candied yams. My favorite thanksgiving dish; too bad no one else in my family likes it. I'm going to my bro's tomorrow for the traditional turkey dinner.

BTW, can I buy a bottle of pear wine from you? I'm curious as to what it would taste like.

02:14 / 10.10.05

If it turns out I shall give you one for the old buckaneer ya gave me last meet

Pooky Is Just My Pornstar Name

02:24 / 10.10.05

Thanks, Keg. Anyhow, I'm going to turn it now. G'night.

02:26 / 10.10.05

G'night. Im going to head off also.

G'night the rest of you all

My Biggest Influence

Imagine a neighborhood of big cars whose chassis gleam with tri-colored angry eagles, of leathery men whose faces are creased like tire treads, and of fat women whose wardrobe consists of stretch pants and floral-print mumus. If you got any imagination at all you got a good idea of what my neighborhood was like when I was growing up. The 'tudes of these dudes are best exemplified by my biggest influence, the song Bitchin' Camaro.

Bitchin' Camaro was a smash hit in nineteen eighty something-or-other for the punk rock band The Dead Milkmen. They took their band name from a career whose practitioners had been driven out of business and were therefore dead. The Dead Milkmen were socially conscious punk rockers, and they satirized mores of their times in songs like Take the Skinheads Bowling and my biggest influence, Bitchin' Camaro.

Bitchin' Camaro, bitchin' Camaro
I run over my neighbors

In this couplet The Dead Milkmen assume the persona of the man I described above, one common in lower class neighborhoods to this day. His life sucks and he's stupid and worthless. But he has good self-esteem because he has a cool car. And not just any cool car, a Chevy Camaro. But maybe his janitor buddy stole his wife's life savings too, and bought himself a Camaro too. So our narrator does something so sneaky it's rad -- he soups up his muscle car with a second unrelated coat of paint and a second engine in the trunk. And the Camaro goes from cool to bitchin'.

Now that he's got a Bitchin' Camaro, the thief/janitor feels powerful. The speed limit in his neighborhood is 20 mph, but one night he takes a can of black spraypaint and made the 2 into an 8. Now he can go 80 mph -- legally! And that's just what he does. If anyone gets in his way he just runs them over, no shit.

This song speaks to me and to my experience. It is a good satire but it's a good song too. That's why Bitchin' Camaro is my Number One Influence. I'm singing it right now.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

00:47 / 11.10.05

*stumbles in*

What, anyone?

So, question, having just watched a Marky Mark film - how much of that his natural body shape, and how much is down to sheer bloody hard work in the gym, d’you think? As a percentage. I was astonished - his arms are thicker than his head. I mean, literally. His biceps are wanting to crawl down past his elbow and his triceps actually do seem to keep going and then form part of his neck, somehow. It’s a sight to behold, but you’d probably fail art class if you drew him.

Oh, and, this post delivers wild berry and juicy summer fruit flavours. And is an excellent partner to red meats and cheeses, apparently. Lucky red meats and cheeses.

01:49 / 11.10.05

Well I am enjoying a rather extreemly tart black current wine. Also I try to not think about Marky Mark or his anatomy.

22:11 / 11.10.05

I've just finished a 15 hour shift, on the last day of a five and a bit week job that felt a hell of a lot longer and really has sapped me of strength, health and time like no other. How is everyone?

22:18 / 11.10.05

Pretty good. Im stuffing myself with gummie bears and working on more Mage comics. The excitement never ends!

22:26 / 11.10.05

Do you bite their heads off first, or pull them like they are on a rack?

Just poured a licquorice tea and honey and found my room hotter than I thought it would be, so gonna lie around on top of the covers reading for a while. Need a couple of hours to unwind after work anyway.

22:29 / 11.10.05

I usually just grab a handful and shove them into my mouth. Sometimes I'll bite their heads off. Some times I'll switch the head of one with the head of another while making mad scientist laughing noises the whole time!
Im just that damn evil.

Gummi bears: they hibernate in your colon.

23:19 / 11.10.05

Thats just wrong! Gummie worms perhaps, but never the bears!
