but i ask the question: are you funky enough to be a funky tram that TALKS?
well no
There you go.
I should alert ILM to the Bendigo Funk Brothers.
i ate a 700g steak last night
where at? or did you make it?
some v expensive place on southbank. with wine and everything it was $75 each. lucky the steak was so big cause now i can’t afford to eat for the rest of the fortnight
Mmmm steak.
Mmmm seventy-five dollar steak.
forutnately the steak itself was only 35
What was the side dish? Cocaine?
God bless the US consulate in Melbourne and it’s looooong backlog. The earliest I can get in is January 4 so I probably won’t be going to America until mid-January now unless I keep watching the consulate website every hour and grab a cancelled earlier date. So I can’t even book my ADL-MEL-ADL tix yet!
mmm cocaine
I will swap the numbers of the Chinese and U.S. consulates, and film the results.
Might get in quicker at the Chinese consulate!
Offer to run over the Falun Dafa dudes peacefully protesting at the front and it’s a guarantee.
hi sheepfuXors!
Hey Tad!
god, this holiday lark is breeding laziness. I might go get a bagel.
also kit sez HI DERE, he can’t view sandbox threads for some reason!
I don’t like this 38-degree heat!
Sunny’s on her way back home.
Staring at this thing is driving me crazy.
The plane’s headed completely in the wrong direction. Australia’s all the way over to the right.
haha
It’s flying towards...GODZILLA
I think right now, both of our overnight low temperatures are at 18 degrees.
Enough smoke out there, Melbmongs?
bit clearer now
Ugh I have to go to the work xmo party tonite and I’m SO not in the mood for it.

my holidays start the next day so i’m going to soak up booze like no tomorrow
I cant skip it now, I went to the trub of buying an nice dress (which I look like a stinking yuppie wanker in) :(

*jeluoas*
i just need to put this here: TODAY everyone can go fuck themselves
thx, ile.

No holidays. Even working on B’day. :(
when’s your birthday? perhaps the party can be at the same time as your housewarming
i have completely unexpectedly been given 3 weeks off from 21 Dec! too cool for words. i’m going to visit my new(ish) niece in adelaide after xmas.
lol adelaide lol
well i daresay it wouldn’t be my choice of hometown either but my bro and his family like it so there you are. i’m looking forward to checking it out.
sun looks scary today
The city is totally filling with smoke! I can smell it in here, its making me feel like crap.
my office is filling (a little) with smoke. it’s kinda unnerving
YEah I’m kinda hung over from the office xmas party, so adding all this smoke to the mix is not helping. I cant breathe too good.
so you had a good time after all then
any lampshade on the head incidents?
any boss dropping his pants and doing the ol’ turkeyslap moments?

roffle roffle roffle
Doesn’t look like ’em at all; still would buy.
I “sang” along to half of Blister in the Sun with someone, for some daft reason. I couldnt remember the words! Gah.
when’s your birthday? perhaps the party can be at the same time as your housewarmi-- esoj@w3rk (elect”>-- esoj@w3rk (electricsound@hotmail.com), December 12th, 2006.

Housewarming/rentparty = Saturday
Come along bee-yatch
Futurama fans: interview with David X. Cohen about the 2008 season!
http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/002710592.cfm
(this is the only thread that came up when I googled “futurama” on thehold, so I don’t think a whole new thread would be of much use)
ooh
hey is it my imagination or has ilx stopped making any sense whatsoever?
ILX made sense once?
Stan I just read that interview via LJ Futurama comm. Hahaha... “Nudar, the evil alien nudist”. If that really IS a new character, I am so stoked for this new series. I love David X Cohen so much.
perhaps it’s me that has changed. o well
Loads of ILX is making me shitfuck angry mind you—I’ve typed and deleted so many posts recently that involve phrases like “tedious pricks all of a sudden”. I didnt feel up to the fight tho.
fair enough too. caring about a lot of the goings on here just seems like a waste of time. people would rather score points with a flip answer than ever listen to what the other is saying..
I don’t think *I* should comment at this point in time.
(But I should mention that if it wasn’t for mongrels, I wouldn’t have backed down and would have said “fuck y’all”. So it’s all you own fault for being nice folks who know jokes.)
My butt hurts from sitting in this chair for too long.
How about you, how are all your butts?
My butts looking forward to the 22nd of Christmas and a well deserved egg nogg. Anyone know how to make it by the way? Me and my brother tried one year and all we got was like a blended watery omlette that tasted like bourbon. Pretty gross.
Yeah that sound kinda foul, I’m pretty much universally opposed to any raw egg recipes though.
I feel like shite, I think all the bushfire smoke’s given me some kind of throat thing. Blerurgh.
me too, weirdly—i feel ok but my throat has been really sore for the last couple of days
Yeah you me and about six other people Ive asked: it has to have been the smoke I guess.
Which haha is funny, I mean Im a smoker, I shouldnt be complaining =)
dear mongrels,
the wife and i are visiting your grill next week—melbourne area dec 27-jan 3 and sydney area from jan 3–9. do you Fancy a Pint? do you have any recommendations for good bars or restaurants? will tugboat be playing out? what should we do for new year’s eve?
i am sad that ESTEBAN is apparently out of town.
FAP yes. no gigs for the forseeable future tho soz
Esteban Buttez will probably be in Melbourne around Jan 3–4 unless The Man gives him an earlier timeslot.
And totally out of Oz by January 8!
OH hey Mookie! I hope you got my reply saying yay FAP will be grebt!
I will be back in Melb on Dec 26 myself afetr xmas parental duties and I’m off work til Jan 8th anyway so yeah, let us party, like ’twas 1799.
I’m sitting in a Sydney suburb RIGHT NOW. Where’s this “heat” I hear so much about? Nothing but southerly winds blowin’...
We had it, then it... I dunno what happened. It went away. We’ve had weird blustery onshore sea gales all week. I’m sick of this 4 seasons in one day shit.
come to perth if it’s heat you want, it’s hot and humid as fuck. i nearly melted at yoga this morning.
Oi Jim, can you send me the Mahog track again by any chance? I got a new work pc and seem to have lost the bloody thing (and I wanna listen to it, heh)
I had to do a survey of the house at about 4 AM, checking all our electrical christmas light thingys (including an awesome robotic santa claus) because we smelt something burning. Turns out it was the state of Victoria.
Yeah the smoke is so very bad today. And worst of all—Walhalla, my favourite place in the universe, is under extreme threat :( :(
Also my bf is in Brisbane and I’m all worried cause I’m hoping all this smoke doesn’t do any nasty shit to planes or anything.
come to perth if it’s heat you want, it’s hot and humid as fuck.
So, do they ever play Cricket in Perth?
(/been seeing that same replay on Channel 7 OVER and OVER now...)
What’s he doing in Brisbane Trayce?
Kate: work thing; Krome took over Atari and their HQ is in Brissy, so he had to fly up there today (and is coming back same day, blimey) to talk with the special effects programmer who’s job he’s... taking over, or some such thing. I think he’ll be doing random trips up there a bit from now on.
up in ur brisbanes, doing some kromeing
also I’m up for FAPpage next week, except for one date TBC where I’m meeting up with the old krew. u feel me.
I’ll be in bumtown ACT til the 26th...
Sitting around waiting for an early visa interview in Melbourne tires a man.
Knowing my luck, they’ll call me up with one for January 4, my already scheduled interview day!
Jim, I am listening to Mahogany so u can stfu.
good
But they’re no Bendigo Funk Brothers.
no argument there
Ta Jim :D
melbourne fap = grebt. we arrive the 27th, after god knows how many hours on planes; we’re going out to the yarra valley in search of wine and such the 28th and 29th (try to stay off the roads then as i have never driven on the left before); then be back in fitzroy the 30th through the 3rd.
anyway, it would be great to meet you! please do not catch fire!
I think if you go to the Yarra Valley you’re more likely to catch fire than we are!
(PS probably not really.)
